* Name an occasion where you will be noticed if you arrive late. That question received a long pause (with Bygraves quipping it as a "pregnant pause"). A contestant finally presses the buzzer, and the guess offered is "a funeral".

* [https://youtu.be/1gsLVmeK6ik?si=J0i4yYxGyw6qrnS4&t=835 Name something associated with The Three Bears]]. A contestant answers "Red Riding Hood" to laughter from the audience. Soon later, a contestant repeats the answers already mentioned (including the answer above). The same contestant then goes to answer another related Red Riding Hood character (The Wood Chopper/Woodcutter).

* Name a [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Shakespeare's play]] with a person's name in it. The contestant opts to give out Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream. Upon getting asked by Les if the contestant understood the question, the logic ended up being "[[ItMakeSenseinContext There's lots of little girls called Summer!]]" Cue a FlatWhat from Les Dennis immediately.

** And yet another:

-->'''Les:''' Sarah?

-->'''Les:''' (''with a confused expression on his face'') You got two of them!

* A specific answer:

* "Name something you put in your mouth but you don't swallow." A contestant named Ash had an actual potty mouth that the answer got censored.[[note]] A "shiitake" moment, no less! [[/note]] Gino's stunned face manages to explain the moment perfectly.

* Something your car can have two of. Wheels.

* Name a game that uses a black ball. The first contestant to buzz in offers "hockey", while a subsequent answer went for "darts" while mishearing it as a game with a "black board."

* "[[https://youtu.be/X4I-c1ZAbTc?si=adK1rbKR9I2rm_P_&t=673 Other than Family Fortunes, name a TV program with Family in the title.]]" [[Series/TheGenerationGame]].

* "Name a profession that may use a helicopter." Canada of the Lee family decides to answer "engine". This is then lampshaded by Andy later on in the episode during a segue to the commercial break.

** This was also the same answer given when Les asked "something done slowly on the weekend, rushed in the week".

* In one 2002 episode, the families are asked for two foods that go together. Cue Paul of the Roderick Family giving out something utterly gross: "Beans and Chips".

** This was also the same answer given when Les asked "something done slowly on the weekend, but done quickly in the weekdays".

--> '''Les:''' Isn't that called a bike?

* Something you associate with the sea. A contestant answers deckchairs (with Les quipping: "What's that out sea? There he goes, that deck chair!"). Another contestant says "coffin". Les thought it was a burial at sea, but that contestant misheard the entire question about "something that begins with the letter C".

* Name something that might frighten Dracula. Bob Monkhouse.

* [[https://youtu.be/xSLgFnHlgBo?si=PfMDzNdBdIgKZCqo&t=250 When Les asked "a song from the Sound of Music"]], a long pause occurs in confusion, leading to chuckles from the audience. When someone finally buzzes in, a contestant answers a character from the musical (Maria) and Dancing Queen, before someone finally states "The Hills Are Alive" (as The Sound of Music) for the top answer. What followed was "I Wake Up Each Morning", "The Skies Are Blue", and "Over The Hills from Far Away". This led to Les asking the family if they had ever seen the film.

-->'''Les:''' Apart from doors, we asked 100 people something that people open... (after the face-off) Ros?
-->'''Ros:''' Bowels. Bow- (''The audience and Les laughs'')
