Some people think that the name Tipping Point refers to the show's use of penny drop machines. It's actually the point at which they stopped pretending to have ordinary people preferring to stuff the programme with idiots so that the wider mass of idiots who watch ITV can actually feel better about themselves. It's quite sad really.
These are both great.......but nothing beats my 2 all time favourites from Family Fortunes (I'm sure they must already be referenced somewhere on this thread).....
'We asked 100 people to name a dangerous race. You answered......The Arabs'
'We asked 100 people to name something red. You answered..... My cardigan'
I know that people can get flustered under pressure.......but come on

I’ve been on a radio quiz and after a rocky start did ok. It’s hard when you’re under pressure to always come up with an answer so please give a bit of leeway to those who choose to participate.

We will always judge against @PaddyP17 performance on The Chase
win big, become a Twitter sensation and get a jazz home studio or you are nothing to us.
Please tell me I’m not the only one watching Blankety Blank?
whoever finds these absolute brain drained lunatics is a legend
I saw it mate. The woman who won it was from south east London originally. I say "won it", she bumbled her way through with no clue what she was doing. Which seems to be the exact type of contestant they want on there.

I’m too young to watch Blankety Blank. I did see The Wheel for the first time last week. I think it is the worst programme I’ve ever watched. Does anybody actually enjoy The Wheel?

In a very slight defence of The Wheel, it does generally end with someone winning big dough. When The Wall is on invariably it ends in tears with couples leaving with nothing. I suppose both have entertainment value.

Have never managed to watch more than 5 minutes of this excruciating bilge. The worst thing about catching a glimpse of this, is that it throws up a little reminder from my subconscious of a time when I actually thought Michael McInyre was funny. Then I start to question myself as a sentient being.
Tonight on Tipping Point: Q: Which former Conservative leader was known by the initials IDS? A: Margaret Thatcher! Oh dear where do these people come from?

I was happy that I got it right and could not believe such a stupid answer
Not a specific answer, but just watched some actor called Adam Thomas on The celebrity Chase. Pretty unbelievable. Did make me wonder who would win in a game of trivial pursuit between him and Joey Essex.
Not quite the same but good old Bob Monkhouse on one of his game shows -
BM - "How many bones in the human body?" Contestant - Takes a guess BM - "It's 206. I've got 306, but I had kippers for breakfast"
Was telling my Mrs that on the phone this morninng and we both pissed ourselves for about 5 minutes
Bob Monkhouse was a hugely underappreciated talent.
Kind of a shame that he’s mainly remembered for being a game show host, because he was an exceptional stand up. And a good, if rather odd, person too, apparently.
