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.

Following his humiliation on Pointless, Antony Worrall Thompson drowned his sorrows with a trip to Tesco.

It was so satisfying when it said 100 and made that noise

I knew the answer but I have seen much, much, much easier questions than that which have scored only 60-70 points...

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.

0:53 Alexander’s “Wow” sounds so funny

0:43 Mission accomplished.

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

The best way to lose a game show.

So 100 people know Honey I shrunk the kids but 95 people were shown a picture of London (with Big Ben in the picture) and knew it was London

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.

That actually happened in Croatian version once.

That's before, "That ain't bread, that's toast!"

Its so funny I can't stop Laughing

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"...

that answer made HISTORY

More people knew this the an know how to scan their groceries at a Tesco checkout.

"One Hundred Point Correct Answer" should be regarded as an oxymoron.

0:43 explosions not literally

Rustie lees laugh is hilarious

I remember a picture of the queen popped up once and it scored 89, that seems x100 more obvious than this answer

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)

This episode has just been on Challenge

I've seen that episode on TV before

Proof of how awesome Honey I Shrunk the Kids is. Everybody knows the film!

Task failed successfully.

I seem to remember the clue "female monarch" (A: queen) scoring 100 a long time ago but no-one gave it as an answer

The Beatles as an answer. 58. Honey I shrunk the kids, 100 but right???

Oh My God!!

Did this happen in a very few episodes or did it only happen in only one episode?

Always wondered what this looked like

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

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.

Amazing

Not over till it's over!

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.

What episode is this from and is it available

So rare that the chances are 0.0000000000515%

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.

Antony Worrall Thompson. Not to be confused with the author of "American Psycho." ;)

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.

I didn’t even think that was possible…

What season and episode did that happened? Antony should get a reward for that.

Oh my goooood

what episode is this

Nice

0:53 w o w

I saw this episode on TV last week and I was shouting 'I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS ONE' to my parents

WHAT THE?! WAS THAT A GLITCH?!

In Italy happened only once 😅🤣

And 98 people named a piano when show a picture of it

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

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?

Richard’s face is a picture @0:52

when making anthonys omlette first take some cheese

Ha!

0:44 Hahaha!

"I don't watch films." What kind of psychopath...

HA!

Is it bad that I have never even heard of that film...?

0:43

Might as well have said Marmalade, I shrunk the kids

As I recall, less than 90/100 people knew the Eiffel Tower was in Paris

There was another 100 score agesss ago but I can’t find it

Never even heard of it

The exact moment happens at 0:44.

It happened again today with the answer being "Zebra" but no one selected it

189

It's times like this where I think that wrong answers should actually be worth 101.

We asked 100 people what you would scan through at the self service checkout. Anthony your first, what are thinking apart from sod all.

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?

100

What makes this funnier is that this was for a pass to the next round OOF

Getting a correct answer that everyone knows should get special points. It's rarer than pointless

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.

I saw another 100 point correct answer in normal Pointless

Is this the only time that this has happened on Pointless?

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.

Philly C on the M.I.C

How the fudge was this on 10 years ago.?

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!

I’ve always thought a wrong answer should score 101 for this reason.

So, you're right but you might as well have got it wrong.

don't get it, they always say let's see if it's right and how many people knew it, so should have been zero, not 100, spoof then.

It's a trap!

Was I the only one who didn’t know the answer?

All 100 People Knew The Answer!

X

Soo funny

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hamburger Hill Canadian Bacon I Am the Cheese

This means all the other correct answers were pointless.

wtf is that film

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!

if i had no clue i would have said canadian bacon Edit: Just checked, it Canadian Bacon is actually correct WTF :D

Th=is is Pointless NOT FAMILY FORTUNES!

XD

This guy looks like a british neil patrick harris

"I don't watch films" What planet are you from?

Anyone else now feel like an idiot for not knowing this?
