5 of the best (worse) pointless answers ever on the hit BBC program. These will make your toes curl and hurl.
The face says it all
Pointless answer that destroyed a friendship! Worse answer
At least the Paris girl had enough dignity to feel embarrassed. The Mexico bloke just blurted out his answer as though he was almost proud of his ignorance - and he's a teacher!
@John M
Yeah😂 Her friend looked like she was being held at gunpoint throughout the entire thing. Even before the answer was given.
It's like she had lost a bet or owed some bad people a couple of grand, and after days of failing to find the cash her friend had a last chance bright idea to go on pointless and win the money. So all that was going around her head the entire time was "we've got to win or else I'm dead, we've got to win or else I'm dead, we've got to win or else I'm dead"
And then the "paris-gate" happened and "we've got to win or else I'm dead" changed to "oh fuck, no you didn't!!!" 😆
I was waiting for the moment of revelation but it never came, the whole time it looked like he had no idea what was going on.
But what makes you think Paris is a good answer?
Paris doesn't end in two consonants (I is not a consonant), it's a capital city instead of a country, and the country it's in (France) ends in a vowel and not two consonants!!!
The fact she did A-level geography makes it so much funnier 😂
And that mate's reaction after she said Paris 😂😂😂
She probably got a U grade on her final exam
A level geography doesn't talk about countries much. Its all geology, city layouts and environmental stuff
Her ex friends reaction was priceless
Sitting here going Germany, Denmark, Ireland, ENGLAND, Swaziland, Iceland, Greenland, Egypt, New Zealand just off the top of my head
She was pissed off even before she said "Paris", lol
Oh Ozzy, you are a one!! lol etc.
Ozzy, you are pardoned :D
yes, because resting bitch face runs in indian families... scientific fact right there
She seems like she hates her. When she's talking, she rolls her eyes and looks disgusted as if she can't even stand her voice.
I thought that too at first, but watching this again I think she's just thinking in a very visible way, and the eye-rolling is just her scanning mentally through countries of the world. I mean she's rolling her eyes almost constantly, it's systematic, crossing a map. If it was cos she hated her she'd be hamming up the eye-rolls at the slightly cringey things her mate says, but she doesn't really react directly to anything until her answer.
It was one heck of a terrible answer though, so if she didn't hate her before she probably does now anyway! (Did it get them knocked out in the end?) I wonder if she got some mental wordjam in her head with the context making consonant and continent get confused,and then she just panicked.
I'm surprised that Daniel Craig only got 57. Never overestimate the Pointless 100 people.
People are idiots, and the points are always lower than you'd think, but I'm sure he was still one of the top answers.
@@bobson3014 its more that they probably skio the obvious answers
@@oxyo3531 Maybe.
I feel like if it was me, I'd rattle of the actual Bond actors quickly first, then start thinking about more obscure answers (Not that Judi Dench is obscure)
Don’t worry, once a picture of Earth scored 98
Fifty-seven is pretty high for an open category. The other forty-three didn’t necessarily not know - some of them will just have been busy giving other answers, and they only have one hundred seconds. If I ever did it I’d be trying to give more obscure answers first.
You missed off Richard’s reaction after the Paris answer “Wrong for a number of reasons” 😂😂
Should be 'worst answers', not 'worse answers'.
The irony of a video trying to make people look like fools also making the uploader look like one.
They're worse than the good ones.
They did consistently get worse though.
@@DrZaius3141 💯
5:05 bad advice from Alexander there. She should have used ALL of her brain.
That would have made listening and talking to him rather difficult.
I don't think it would have helped.
He guy who said Mexico was my maths teacher and now if you say Mexico in his class you get a detention
😂
Yeah seems like a prick what would.... but just remember all the teachers took the piss too and he couldn't do owt about it. If someone I knew did that I never let em live it down. I just book a holiday to Mexico every year so I can mention it. Ask him what country tequila comes from ask him about the 86 world cup 😂 get a 🇲🇽 sticker for his bumper
He must have had an entire class turn up wearing sombreros at least once.
The friend's face when the gormless other one said Paris was a picture!
She’d be the perfect poker opponent.
You could tell as soon as the camera went to them that she knew her friend was going to give an utterly stupid answer.
3:01 is my maths teacher the one who said Mexico hahahah
Same
Does he seem that gormless in real life?
1:26 You know you’ve messed up when even the host can’t help but laugh 😂😂😂
i want to give sarah a hug. she seemed so upset with herself once she said paris and her friend didn't really seem to want to be there fromthe beginning. bless her. obviously it was a stupid answer, but she's adorable and deserves some love
Blakesmithy16 so anyways
Her friend was looking fed up before she gave the answer
she probably had a complete blank out; it was a very very silly answer but i didn't appreciate the friend's reaction yikes
Ah, love it ! We all deserve love x
I agree! It was a really hard category. For a geography round, which usually goes down really well, only having 18 possible answers is hard. I think Alexander and Richard felt sorry for her, and that’s why this clip didn’t appear in the blooper episode.
geography a-level sounds like something i should have done
I dont even know where I am,lol
I remember watching the j.r one. Laughed so hard i spat my spaghetti out
My favourite was the girl who was supposedly an expert on the periodic table, and when asked for an element she said "unobtainium".
JR assassinated in Dallas lmao
You're not wrong tbf.
Who is JR tho? I know the answer is JFK.. who did she mistake him for?
@@Sara-kq8qb A character in a TV show called Dallas.
@@mosesiamnt03 The weird thing is that Jemma / Gemma looks about 30 years old and JR was killed in 'Dallas' in 1980
To be fair, though...
Not sure what’s worst either she thinks Paris is a country or she doesn’t know that the letter I is a vowel lol
L is a vowel
@@dannymoonie3914 you’re messing with me?

I feel depressed.
Shaun is my maths teacher.
ITubaUTuba brilliant 😂😂
alright The lengths people go to to lie...
Hehe.
I think he was my maths teacher too
Over in Liverpool in the early 2010's and after he left decided to go on Total Wipeout
I may be mistaken since as it has been a good ten years but we all knew him as Mr Fox if that's the same guy?
Number one wasn't awful. It was correct, only 57, and a decent answer
They said that they have to choose a least likely correct answer to get the least points which is the whole point of the game and they said the main actor. The main actor is popular and would obviously get them way to many points that’s what they are saying
The red line was quite low and in that case you don't want a safe answer you want a really low answer.
Rob G did you seriously just answer a 1 year old comment?
StanislavyeungHK I don’t know why I’m reading your reply because I give 0 sh*ts
StanislavyeungHK do I give a sh*t? I stopped being the perfect person long ago because it ain’t worth it when you’re treated like trash for being a well mannered goodie two shoes. I’ve changed to better fit the world we live in today. So do I give a damn what you think? No.
My trick for the last one was “oh well England snd Scotland aren’t independent countries, but anything ending -land will work. How about Switzerland or Swaziland?”
I thought Swaziland too but then remembered its not called that anymore, its called Eswatini.
she's inseine
Tres drole
lol! Could you possibly mean "insane"?
Actually we spell it "humor:. Aloha nui loa!
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 It was a joke 'in Seine, the river which flows through Paris'
@@andyaccount uh huh as Metallica says nothing else matters! aloha nui loa we're done!
She did A level Geography?There was so much wrong with that answer
Why do so many people think that A level geography involves knowing countries and capitals?
I didn't take geography at school because it was all about farming and bollocks like that.
I do know countries and capitals though.
@@MrKeefy1967idk I guess there's a general assumption that they might know Paris isn't a country
@@JoelJoel321 Yes, of course. But that is basic general knowledge and not something that's ever been taught in a Geography lesson.
@@keithbaker4589 Maybe not in an A Level geography lesson because that's normally covered in primary school geography.
I've since seen the one where a woman identified a black-and-white photo of Bill Haley as being JUSTIN BEIBER. With 100% confidence.
Ive seen that clip and it wasnt 100% confidence at all. She said she didnt know the answer so just said it as a joke.
Stay safe usually means game suicide. I am amazed at the number of people who come on this program with seemingly no idea what the object is.
"Even the worst wrong answer is better than a Pointless answer".
Apart from those rare 100 point correct answers, but they're incredibly rare.
What about that one couple in an early episode who said "Richard III" for Shakespeare tragedies in the head-to-head? In a way that was even worse than the "Paris" answer, because when Osman specified the criteria he actually explicitly said "We're not looking for any of the History plays *SUCH AS RICHARD III* " 🤦🤦🤦
I've heard worse answers, usually me shouting at my TV.
Paris? Not only is Paris not a country but it also ends "is." "I" is not a consonant.
And she said he did A level Geography!!!
Wow.. You are clever ;)
Wow! really? Have you just woken up?
If you draw out the end of Paris, sort of hiss, then it ends with two consonants - Parissss. There are ways around these things, be positive :D
thanks for explaining that, i had no idea why it was wrong
Egypt ends in 2 consonants and is also at the end of 2 continents
What a mind bend
That's quite a good one. My first thought was "Somaliland", probably the best bet. But Richard is right - very few answers (England and Scotland don't count because they are part of Great Britain). Let's see... Finland, Switzerland, New Zealand, Egypt, Somaliland, Bangladesh, Germany (I think it counts, even if Y is a semivowel). That's all I have for now.
(Thought up Ireland, Luxembourg and Holland/Netherlands later)
@@WaterCrane
Italy
Germany
Hungary
Ivory Coast
United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland
@@WaterCrane Iceland, Greenland and Denmark as well.
Thailand, too
J.R. ! OMG. It's amazing how many peopleon this show have seemingly no idea of what happened in the world beyond yesterday.
It took me five minutes to realise not only does it not have 2 constants. It’s not even a country 😂
You sound like the kind of contestant Pointless wants!
03:00 the look on Alexander's face.
Paris!!!! Hahahaha her friends facial expression!!!
The show is actually pointless, you can ace every question and you’ll probably only come out of there with a bag of pork scratchings
The prize money really let's this show down. It should start at £10k and go up by 2 grand every time. The other day, a father and son team got 2 pointless answers on their way to the final and 3 pointless answers in the final. After all of that they won A GRAND. One poxy grand for 5 pointless answers across 3 categories
@@generichuman2044 bit of a late reply here but if they’d got two pointless answers on the way to the final the jackpot would have been £1500. The tougher the quiz the lower the prize. Winners of Mastermind, Only Connect and University Challenge get zip.
@@generichuman2044 It's a BBC show. Giving away huge sums of money would encourage the gammons to moronically shout 'Defund the BBC'.
I don't want to study A level geography anymore
Bet they all know the difference between "worse" and "worst" though
6:00 LMAO
I couldnt do Xander's job cause I would be absolutely unable to not be snarky at some of those answers... like, "Paris... ok, well it's not a country and it doesnt end with two consonants, but lets see if it's correct shall we..."
It was *pointless* ruining the friendship
I love the word bibibe it’s such a great word man
The one I thought of... very appropriate for CZcams... unsubscribe.
I'm watching this while watching the bloopers on TV wtf Ann I doing with my life
Lol
To be fair, Mexico is Estados Unidos de México or United States of Mexico, so US could refer to Mexico as well, but Mexico isn't one of Mexico's states.
4:10 Worst decision to exchange places ever on Pointless coming up at podium one.
I think you mean worse ;)
Nope, I mean worst.
+R. Campbell R. U. Dumbbell?
You mean me??
it was a reference to the spelling in the video title, sorry if it was too subtle for you to realise.
Worst,
not worse.
Your so masterful. I love it when people correct bad spelling and poor grammar, I tingle. ;)
+George Morrison You're* welcome.
TheRealD4VID, thanks, I got goosebumps just reading that.
I was scrolling down to see if someone would correct the title
2:03 that seems a bit unfair 😂
Some of these actually hurt
Apart from the fact that she A, doesnt know what a country is and B, doesnt know what a consonant is, it was a pretty good effort
It doesn't help your cause that you've spelt 'WORST' wrong, mate.
I can see what the woman who said Jr is thinking. She mixed up the city and the TV show
yes, OMG, you are so right!!!!!!! Never thought of that. The key word here is 'assassinate' Idiot
She also mixed up one of the most infamous moments of the 20th century with a TV show and one of the most famous US Presidents with a character because their initials start with J.
We all know what happened. Stupidity.
Why is no one talking about 2:30? Equally as funny as Paris in my opinion
2:52 This is funnier
Shaun is the reason why Donald trump wants a wall.
Who is Donald Trump?
George Morrison He's the Mexican Prime Minister
18 countries out of almost 200 in the world is tough to come up with to be fair. I had to think for a minute to come up with Ireland, although once I did that immediately brought me to Iceland and Poland.
Anything ending with 'land' then. Not very hard to find a correct answer at least.
Ive been looking for a clip from about 2017. It was the most uncomfortable cringe thing I had ever seen. Basically there was a mother and a daughter on the show and the question subject was about numbers. One of the questions was something along the lines of the shortest month in the year usually has how many days. The mother blurted out February all smiling and then she looked at the question again, changed her face and said oh sorry 28, but then Alexander said Im sorry I have to take your first answer. The woman became all teary eyed and almost started crying on tv. She would have been through to the next round if she got the answer right. It was so uncomfortable to watch, I was surprised they kept that in the show.
With one third of your brain say 'like' a lot
Ironically, I "liked" this comment.
J.R. 🤣 He's not even a real person.
Even NEW Mexico doesn't have a coastline!
Well someone doesn't know the difference between worse and worst.
Without these mistakes you'd have nothing to say so be grateful :D
here i am "what the hell is a consonant?"
For Number 3 she could of said tribe
Or bribe
The Mexico guy expected to see that some people have actually given a similar answer
Well.. they are truly pointless questions!
2:30 my maths teacher
Hahahah mr fox my old maths teacher
Ahaha same
Who shot J.R. from the grassy knoll? Bwahahaha!
3:07 is my maths teacher 😃
TBF the Dallas ladys partner thought joan of arc died in the bath
"its just like a lot of like different like sort of people that are interested in lot of like sci fiee or maybe games or something you could like combination different people of lots of different interests and stuff"
This is the kind of person our society sends to actual universities now.
For Number 1. Finland 🇫🇮, Iceland 🇮🇸, Ireland 🇮🇪, Greenland 🇬🇱 and Solomon Islands 🇸🇧 and Denmark 🇩🇰 are what I can think of off the top of my head. Prolly would of gone: Solomon Islands 🇸🇧
Greenland is a territory of Denmark iirc so that wouldn't count. However there's New Zealand, Swaziland, Egypt, Italy, Poland and maybe Ivory Coast?
@@Apizzaslice Swaziland is a good one but it probably wouldn’t count as it’s now Eswatini
Finland
Iceland
Solomon Islands
Denmark
Egypt
Marshall Islands
Italy
New Zealand
Poland
Hungary
Germany
Thailand
Switzerland
Luxembourg too
Netherlands
Ivory Coast. Probably the most obscure I can think
I could only think of Egypt and Ireland
To be honest, I think the Mexico answer was even worse than Paris 😂
As gormless as each other
At least Mexico had coastlines.
Jr 😂😂😂😂😂😂
For the last question I’d go with Ivory Coast
except that its officially known as Cote D'Ivoire. Also, Richard says they were looking for the short form name (aka the ISO Code). Ivory Coast's is CI...
I thought of Luxembourg
@@EndeavoursRadio Short form name in this case just means the short name it goes by in English which would be Cote D'Ivoire, it doesn't refer to the ISO code.
5:18 why did that girl beside her act like she was so frustrated with her? She hadn't even answered yet!
Mohammed Yakub I reckon she was a bag of nerves .
no no, she was definitely thinking of answers to say for when her turn comes. Its very typical to look around and up, I really doubt she was listening to what her friend was saying.
Without looking these up:
My two or more James Bond movie starring go to would be Richard Kiel - probably not pointless, but not being a main star and being two older movies would probably be single figures
I know Spencer Perceval is the only British PM to be assassinated, so that would have been my choice on the list. I know Mary, Queen of Scots was married to a Stuart and James VI and I is her child, but not sure of which husband or first name.
The first -IBE word that came to mind was Imbibe - probably get 80 points.
Most obscure US state I can think of with a coastline is Rhode Island.
And for the last one I'd go with an "Island" country, probably Solomon Islands.
First thought was Rowan Atkinson but I don't believe his was an official Bond movie, I would go for Joe Don Baker.
Harvey Milk for the Sean Penn role as JFK is too obvious.
Diabtribe was my word.
That's a good one. Virginia was mine.
Probably not pointless but my first thought was Greenland. It's often forgotten in my experience because it's attached to the North Pole by ice.
For the last question I thought of New Zealand and England
Just thought of Greenland and Iceland too
And Ireland
Austin Tippett 3 out of 5 of those answers are incorrect. Good effort though
@@Devlin0709 All of those are technically correct. If you listened to the question it said *end in two consonants.* IIRC, all of those are countries, AND all of them have N D on the end - N and D are both consonants.
Correct me if I'm incorrect
@@technospyform1578 technically correct but Greenland & England aren't sovereign nations of the UN (or however it was phrased) or we could include Scotland too
Ireland, Thailand, Finland, Iceland, New Zealand, Poland, Bangladesh, Vatican City, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Hungary, Solomon Islands, Marshall Islands, Egypt, Luxembourg, Ivory Coast, have I missed any?
Netherlands or Holland both work.
Vatican City doesn't end with two consonants
@@jonasHM are you sure? T and Y?
canary catch up, google is great eh?
@@nepiris I mean it is, but if you’re trying to say I used it for the comment then you are wrong, I know all the countries and always try to improve my time to go Countries of the World quiz on Jetpunk
You should never laugh at peoples mistakes!
Tbf Paris girls mate had a face like she had just found out her gran had died before she gave her answer
Even if he meant New Mexico I'll be wrong because it doesn't have a coastline
Gemma is hot and gave us a laugh and at least she laughed and took her mistake in good spirits quite the opposite to the moody friend of the Paris girl
England, Ireland , Scotland. 3 right there.
Not countries though.
What the fuck was that intro 😂😂😂
So any country with land at the end of
Goodbye Civilization.
Worst*
At 5:00 which season and episode is this from?
It was broadcast originally on 2nd of January 2017 so it was from Series 16. It was broadcast on the 26th day since day one of Series 16 that showed an episode of Pointless, taking one break in Nov/Dec 2016 and one in Dec 2016 into account. So I'm going to say this must be Episode 26 of Series 16.
To be fair, the woman who said "bible" knew it was wrong. She just couldn't think of anything.
The show got it wrong 6 or so weeks ago re a snooker question, had Steve David ever played Peter Ebdon at the Crucible, he had 3 times and it came up as a wrong answer, how can they make that elementary mistake in this day and age and not realise it?
Just check the internet Steve Davis v Peter Ebdon head to head.
Perhaps they had not played at the Crucible?
Ivory Coast
They say there is 18 UN Reconsigned Sovereign States which short form name ends in 2 consonants but I count 20?
1 - Bangladesh
2 - Denmark
3 - Egypt
4 - Finland
5 - Germany
6 - Hungary
7 - Iceland
8 - Ireland
9 - Italy
10 - Ivory Coast
11 - Luxembourg
12 - Marshall Islands
13 - Netherlands
14 - New Zealand
15 - Poland
16 - Solomon Islands
17 - Swaziland
18 - Switzerland
19 - Thailand
20 - Vatican City
wtf bbc >:(
Andrew Taylor they don't count Vatican City because it's only an observer member of the UN
Is "y" considered a consonant in English? :-O
What the fuck is a 'Reconsigned Sovereign State?'
Vatican City, and Côte d'Ivoire might be the other one.
Andrew Taylor Vatican City holds a seat as a "The Holy See", and is an observer, noy a member. Also, Ivory Coast is not it's name, it is Cote D'ivore I think (im not french)
ENGLAND...
Dose 100 right answer count
England.germany.italy. I want to cry
Germany and italy does not end with two consonants
@@sivertkind Yes they do.
@@Theebec1 i just looked it up and even though you were correct i dont think you know why you were correct so let me tell you why. Its a consonant because the y is at the end of the word, and because the word has other vowels. If it didnt have other vowels then it would be a vowel. Now let me tell you why i was wrong. Because english people have different rules than everyone else. In pretty much all other alphabets the letter y is a vowel. Sorry for not reading into the rules of the english alphabet. Also i think it's horseshit
@@sivertkind On Pointless, Y is always a consonant. It doesn't matter what the context is.
@@Theebec1 y isnt always a consonant though. You're wrong
My favourite ever was when someone named the US President Henry Hoover.
For all those that submitted Ireland, I'm not sure if that would be allowed as officially Southern Ireland is know as the Republic or Ireland or Eire and Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom as previously mentioned
The short form name of the Republic of Ireland is Ireland, therefore it is a correct answer.
The UK is actually comprised of four countries, so: Northern Ireland; England and Scotland would all be correct answers.
@@irresistablejewel No they wouldn't as they are not recognised by the UN and that is one of the main rules of Pointless geography rounds so the United Kingdom would be the only acceptable answer
@@irresistablejewelThe UK is the sovereign state, the 4 countries individually are not.
