* EpicFail: Wow — you didn't even get one answer right in the bonus round. (Not explicitly a game show trope, but occasionally appears and sometimes combined with DarthWiki/WhatAnIdiot, where a contestant gives an obviously bad answer, if they're able to even answer — e.g., "Man, that was such an easy puzzle; I can't believe you missed it that badly!")



* DarthWiki/WhatAnIdiot: "Who is the Father of Our Country?" followed by contestant drawing a blank, and then being dumbfounded when the correct answer is given. (Certainly not limited to game shows, but plenty of these moments have led to game shows' all-time funniest or greatest moments. Goes on the YMMV tab for the specific shows.)
