Private Eye has a section called Dumb Britain in every issue, with idiotic answers from all the quiz shows (radio as well as TV). It makes for hilarious (and depressing) reading.
Who could forget the classic TalkSport phone-in, when they were discussing the Scotland squad, and some scottish bloke phoned in about the goalkeeping situation:

Caller: "I cannae understand why Vogts doesn't give Anton Niemi a chance"
Presenter: "Anton Niemi ? He's Finnish isn't he ?"
Caller: "What ?"
Presenter: "He's FINNISH"
Caller: "Finished ? He's only 28 !"

I nearly crashed the car laughing at that one. :lolol:

We're not short of thickos on this board either. Check out the NSC Family Fortunes thread on the NSC Gold board!!

:lolol:

(I still think that Sausage Rolls should have been a valid answer!!)

I liked it when Wayne and Waynetta (from Harry Enfield) went on a quiz show and were asked to name a vegetable beginning with a B. After hesitating for a long time Waynetta said Botato!

"Penguin" I replied. :dunce:

Sid: "I doont know mooch aboot flowers pet but ye can wrap yoor tullips aroond me cock!"

Reminds me of my moment of gross stupidity last time I went to Wales (Swansea away)

Corssing the Severn bridge I asked "What river does the Severn Bridge go over then?"
