So, 100 people knew the name of that film but only 89 people recognized a picture of Earth when shown it. Some of the scores on this show are ridiculous.
Leopold Slikk it's the Green sauce that originated in Mexico that is used for dipping stuff like salad and tortilla chips in to. And as I come from the 'Curry Capital of Britain' guacamole is also occasionally found in Indian restaurants along with the mint sauce, chilli sauce, onion chutney etc and also used for dipping salads or poppadoms in to.
I one saw one where they were naming body parts from pictures and a picture of a brain got 99. I was surprised there was even one person who didn't know it..
There was another instance of a 100-point correct answer. The question was who hosted the 2012 Olympic Games. Being a UK quiz show, it would have been mad if no one got that right.
@@peterbarnes1656 Most of us know that because smartarses like to bring it up. However if you're of a descriptive rather than proscriptive bent, most people call the clock tower Big Ben as its common name so its absolutely fair to say that's its name.
100 points for a correct answer on Pointless, happened again today, only no-one selected the answer. same thing happened with the location of the 2012 Olympics. Well, you'd really have to be living in a cave not to know that they weren't in London lol. But Timmy Mallet's song I wouldn't have thought would've been quite in the same league xD
MJ wasn't even the first. In one of the earlier seasons there was a round on "Foods beginning with P" where one answer (parmesan) scored 100 points. At the time Alexander had to look at Richard to explain what was going on. This was the first correct 100 on Pointless Celebrities though.
If I recall correctly when given a list of capital cities and asked to name the currencies used in the countries they're in, "Pound Sterling" (though just Pound would have been accepted) scored 97. It was even commented on, saying "I feel quite bad for 3 of these people"...
I'm going through every episode of Pointless starting with Series 28 Episode 29 and listing all of the 90+ point answers, plus anything that I think should've gotten close to 100/100. S28 E30: None, but 22 people failed to recognise that the Tower Bridge and St Paul's Cathedral are in London. S28 E33: None, but only 40 people recognised who the US president who Joe Biden was vice president to from 2009 to 2017 was. S28 E37: None, but another 22 people didn't recognise a pear when they saw it, even when given the first letter and number of letters. S28 E38: The Silence of the _____ by Thomas Harris (Novels with plural animals missing) - Answer: Lambs (90 points). Interesting that it scored so high because I've never heard of it. S28 E41: Image of a puppet blue postman with initials PP (Programmes on CBeebies) - Answer: Postman Pat (96 points) S28 E50: In a common phrase, someone who is calm or relaxed is said to be cool as this salad vegetable (Cool) - Answer: Cucumber (92 points) S28 E51: S_a_y (Members of the cabbage family) Answer: Savoy (91 points) S29 E1: "England" and "Germany" for National Teams at the 2022 Women's Euros (97 and 93 points respectively). England is the first one here that somebody actually went for. Also, an image of a jaguar yawning with the first and last letters given (topic: Animals Yawning) got 94 points, AND the same thing happened with "R_D P___A" (red panda), which got 91 points. S29 E7: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's N___ (Detective Novels and Short Stories) Answer: Nest (91 points)
Postman Pat and Silence of the Lambs both seem to be very high-scoring answers when you consider they scored more than "pear". I'd expect both to still be high but probably in the sixties or seventies, not nineties.
I don't know specifically about the novel, but the movie adaptation of Silence of the Lambs was absolutely huge in 1991 and went on to sweep the Academy Awards. It's still considered to be one of the best movies ever made too.
The thing that gets me is that the first 100 point correct awnser... was Honey I shrunk the kids. I've seen questions with answers such as EARTH fail to reach 100, some super obvious ones eve fail to reach 90 and Honey I shrunk the kids is the one everyone gets? really.
Yep, and the contestant in question was a pretty young lady named MJ. ;) In the same episode, she guessed that James Brown was in The Dirty Dozen, and it turned out to be a pointless answer.
@@zingzangspillip1 yeah but his real name is James Nathanial Brown, so you can’t really deny that as an answer. Keith Lemon was an answer on pointless once but someone answered it ‘Leigh Francis’ (his real name) and they gave it to them. They accept both real names and better known/stage names😀
Wasn't there another one of these cases where a correct answer scored 100? It was another one of those possible answers rounds, and I think the question selected was the location of the 2012 Olympics. Considering this is a British show, is it any wonder every one of the 100 people said London as their answer?
Has there ever been a worse movie title than Mystic Pizza? I've never heard of it. Presumably the 38 people who have only remember it because it has such a bizarre name! What was the title of the round? Just "movies released in the UK" or something?
I once saw something like it's a number between seven and nine which scored in the high eighties. Surely some of the people being polled are simply taking the piss.
Have people ever realised that this program is a kind of a reworking of Family Fortunes. "We asked 100 people" only there are slight differences with how questions are asked & in that in Pointless they want the least popular answer & Family Fortunes they want the most popular answer. I'd always thought wow they ripped Family Fortunes, but no one has ever pointed it out before.
But it is such a small and almost irrelevant part of the concept that makes it a good game . Being that it's about getting the rarer answers . And winning with the opposite amount of points than other games ask for . Like saying beethovens 5th symphony is similar to twinkle twinkle little star because it has a middle c in it
I don't know the show but I see funny clips. Is there a lot of comedy in it? Because if yes, then I'll start to watch it. I like 8 Out of ten cats Does Countdown, QI and Will I Lie to You because the majority of it is funny. Is this show the same comedy percentage wise? Cheers.
It wouldn’t have mattered if they had got it wrong as those 100 pts would still have been scored anyway. This is “pointless” not “point full”! They might as well had said it was incorrect but I’ve never seen the “correct” version of a 100 pts scoring answer before until now! Craaaaazy!
I knew the answer and I'm 23. I don't think it's a matter of age. I seen the film when I was a kid. Why would you think people that knew it would be above 40? lol. It was made 27 years ago. It's not that ancient.
CastleFlameGal It's because I don't watch films. I'm a Liverpool fan and I know we bottled the title to Arsenal on the last day in 1989. On this show I've gotten a few pointless answers for football or geography, but films I'm hopeless 🤣
Obviously some people who are younger might know it but generally I'd expect not that many people below 40 to know it as most of them would be too young to have seen it or remember it.

Bradley Walsh.....more famous than Brad Pitt, Bradley Cooper, Bradley Wiggins, and some other Brad.
Exactly.
It was the same with the queen, only 93 people recognized a picture of the queen...
Following his humiliation on Pointless, Antony Worrall Thompson drowned his sorrows with a trip to Tesco.
I knew the answer but I have seen much, much, much easier questions than that which have scored only 60-70 points...
That's pretty embarrassing Leopold.
Leopold Slikk it's the Green sauce that originated in Mexico that is used for dipping stuff like salad and tortilla chips in to.

In one head to head round 100 correctly identified New York. The contentants didn't choose it though.
In one celebrity head to head, 100 people correctly realised a picture of the Eiffel Tower.

Kurtodrome What?! _Parmesan_ got *100 points*? I could understand pizza, but parmesan?
Kristoffer Stalsberg Parmesan was a correct answer that was mistakenly marked as an incorrect one.
Kurtodrome you've got to question your life when you're an expert on the show pointless mate haha
Jake Rogers
So you commented just to insult someone, you should question your life too.
Stop being a melon.
"One Hundred Point Correct Answer" should be regarded as an oxymoron.
Not really, it is a correct answer, it's just scoring the same score as a wrong one.
Err...no.
I remember a picture of the queen popped up once and it scored 89, that seems x100 more obvious than this answer
That actually happened in Croatian version once.
If I recall correctly when given a list of capital cities and asked to name the currencies used in the countries they're in, "Pound Sterling" (though just Pound would have been accepted) scored 97. It was even commented on, saying "I feel quite bad for 3 of these people"...

Rustie lees laugh is hilarious
Well this is the 1st episode to have an answer that scored 100 points. The other episodes do have that score but no one said it.
Someone gave a correct answer that scored 100 points in 2011. This episode aire in 2013.
I saw this episode on TV last week and I was shouting 'I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS ONE' to my parents
rustie's laugh is iconic
that answer made HISTORY
I was expecting it to turn into red with the X, just like an incorrect answer, as that is usually what happens for someone to score 100
The Beatles as an answer. 58. Honey I shrunk the kids, 100 but right???

This episode has just been on Challenge
Getting a correct answer that everyone knows should get special points. It's rarer than pointless
"I don't watch films." What kind of psychopath...
There has definitely been a correct answer which scores 100 before, it was on cheeses and one of them was cheddar i believe and it scored 100
IncontrolgamingHD Someone pointed that out three years before you.
And 98 people named a piano when show a picture of it
when making anthonys omlette first take some cheese
Did this happen in a very few episodes or did it only happen in only one episode?
As I recall, less than 90/100 people knew the Eiffel Tower was in Paris
Probably children lol
But 100 people knew what the Eiffel Tower was in a celebrity episode (No one picked it though)
So rare that the chances are 0.0000000000515%
What season and episode did that happened? Antony should get a reward for that.
What episode is this from and is it available
I've seen that episode on TV before
Antony Worrall Thompson. Not to be confused with the author of "American Psycho." ;)
I’ve always thought a wrong answer should score 101 for this reason.
Then the answer for such an occasion would have to be _101 Dalmatians._
It happened again today with the answer being "Zebra" but no one selected it
yep, definitely an object show fan
Has there ever been a worse movie title than Mystic Pizza? I've never heard of it. Presumably the 38 people who have only remember it because it has such a bizarre name!

From the looks of it, it was "films with food in the title".

What episode is this
I once saw something like it's a number between seven and nine which scored in the high eighties. Surely some of the people being polled are simply taking the piss.
Does a poll really take place ? or does a BBC researcher have a guess at what 100 people might say
What makes this funnier is that this was for a pass to the next round

No, it happened in 2011.
It happened to Bobby Davro
Never even heard of it
Not over till it's over!
Nice
In Italy happened only once 😅🤣
This means all the other correct answers were pointless.
No, it doesn't work like that. It's how many people knew that specific answer. The people surveyed can give all the answers if they know them.
