Line #1 Funny/TheWeakestLink


1	* Outtakes and much more on [=BBC2=]'s ''Outtake TV'' (''Weakest Link'' specials) in [[https://youtu.be/5AE21xR6dFQ 2003]], [[https://youtu.be/5AFjqFDbJ_0 2004]] and [[https://youtu.be/T-tJwagUYKI 2005]].
2	* Contestants seem to love [[{{Corpsing}} trying to make Anne laugh]]:
3	** In the American version, Carrot Top had been voted out one round, and walked out of nowhere to say he rejoined the show, proceeding to make Anne laugh.
4	** One of the earliest (possibly the first) instance of a contestant actually getting Anne to laugh was on the first comedian's special when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEILVlLElik Rob Schneider said he wanted to get to know the "sexy link."]] This lead to this exchange when he was voted off.
5	---> '''Anne''': Do you still think I'm sexy?\
6	'''Rob''': Yes.\
7	'''Anne''': Good, because I still think you're stupid.
8	** Marc Price succeeded spectacularly by telling Anne, "If I could just get you to say, 'Who's your mommy?' just once-" and ''everyone'' lost it.
9	** In one American celebrity edition, Kathy Najimy came dressed up as Anne and impersonating her. After the first round's voting, she was the first person Anne called on by simply saying, "Kathy," and she mirrored her mannerism and said back, "Anne," with a completely straight face. Anne chuckled for a good five seconds.
10	* [[https://youtu.be/3xq4LJGrBV4 The "Puppet" version]], wherein [[Series/TheSootyShow Soo]] delivered a lot of {{Take That}}s to everyone else (And Anne), voted for [[Series/BearsBehavingBadly Nev]] because he needed to book the table on the restaurant, saying she voted for the Leprechauns because they had two brains.
11	** Of course, the Leprechauns also said that they only had one brain in between both of them.
12	** [[Series/{{Rainbow}} Zippy]] got a question wrong. (The answer was Pearl Harbor) and [[EpicFail didn't even name an actual port city]]. Because he was doing all the talking, Anne walked over and zipped his mouth shut so George could say something. When she unzipped Zippy's mouth, she said "This isn't permission to speak", and when Zippy thanked her, she held up a finger and said "AH!".
13	** Anything that came out of Roland Rat's mouth.
14	** Anne says that Jelly and Jackson (who had at that point got all their questions right) knew the answers because they broke into a library at night, they tell her that it's because they ''live'' in a library.
15	** Anne asks Soo if the rumors regarding "hanky-panky" between her an Sooty are true. She answers that there might be a bit of "hank and pank".
16	** Nev constantly flirting with Anne and her responding with wanting to invite him over to her home to meet her cats, something which scares Nev due to him being afraid of cats. She even gives him a parting kiss after he's voted off!
17	** Nev voted for The Leprechauns (or "Lepikons", as he wrote) because he thought they were stinky. Onion, angered, threatened to take a bite out of Nev's other ear.
18	---> '''Anne:''' Why did you vote for the Leprechauns?
19	---> '''Nev:''' Stinky.
20	---> '''Leprechauns:''' ''[[BigWhat WHAT?!]]''
21	---> '''Onion:''' G-GET YOURSELF OVER HERE!!!! I'M GONNA TAKE A ''BITE'' OUT OF YOUR OTHER EAR!!!!
22	* In the UK version, one time the contestants were revealing their votes in one round, three contestants in a row voted off "Elaine", but the next contestant, Gwynfor ''[[FreudianSlip also blurted out "Elaine"]]'' but his card indicated he voted off "Ray". As the following contestant, who happened to be Elaine, started to reveal her vote, also for "Ray", the audience burst into laughter, as the camera did a DoubleTake on Gwynfor, and zoomed in on his card, while Anne proceeded to give him a ''very'' annoyed look.
23	** Downplayed when it happened again on a daytime edition. No surprise when it was [[EpicFail that contestant who was voted off in the first round]].
24	* ''Every interaction'' between Anne and William Shatner in the special Star Trek episode.
25	** Also from the Star Trek special,
26	--> '''Anne''': Who can no longer klingon?
27	--> '''Anne''': (to John [=DeLancie=]) This is your "Q" to leave. You ''are'' the weakest link. Goodbye!
28	* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' themed episode is full of hilarious moments.
29	** The Anne Droid from ''Bad Wolf'' gave the intro before Anne came up to the stage, unplugged her, and then gave the intro.
30	** K9 is a contestant. Yes, as in the ''character'' K9, not the actor who played him (it's still Creator/JohnLeeson behind the mic, though, so he's technically competing). Sadly, because K9 and his various props over the years have a lovely habit of just breaking down willy-nilly and this one was made from a leftover prop dating back to the seventies, the actors were told to vote him off first. And though the rules say you can't put your own name down, K9 ''still voted himself off'' (despite having written "Andrew" on his screen).
31	** Creator/DavidTennant introducing himself is funny and adorable.
32	--->'''David''': Hello, I'm David. I'm 925 years old, and I come from Gallifrey.
33	** They asked Nicholas Briggs (the voice of the Daleks and Cybermen) a question about golf. He dithered for a moment, then lifted up his ring modulator and said "Daleks do not like sports!"
34	** John Barrowman leading a rousing rendition of the ''Doctor Who'' theme song.
35	*** To further elaborate, Anne asked him to sing the Dr. Who theme tune. John obliged, then David started joining in with the underlying bass theme. Intercut scenes reveal that John did sing more for Anne.
36	** The main cast rigged the votes to knock out all the actors who were just there for Series 2 guest appearances and reduce the group to the big names. Even though the crowd was favorably biased to see Tennant and Barrowman duke it out in the final round, Noel Clark got them voted out so he could stick around for the endgame. And out of all the stars of the 8, Camille Coudri, who plays Jackie Tyler, Rose Tyler's saucy mother, ended up being the winner after dodging several rounds of votes aimed at her!
37	* Perhaps the ultimate fluff on ''The Weakest Link'' came from one Andy Roddick, who panicked and said the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEWe7Z-moig awful answer heard round the world]].
38	* The first WWF edition:
39	** Booker T is asked what French word is used to request a second performance. He answers "oui-oui" when it's "encore". He's voted off and Anne says "you are the weakest link, au revoir".
40	** Wrestling/{{Lita}} gets a question about George Bush wrong and afterwards Anne asks "does the name George Bush ring any bells?" Lita replies "on the one dollar bill maybe"[[note]]Trish Stratus had been asked a question about the $1 bill[[/note]] and then immediately realises what [[OhCrap she's just said]]. She [[CallBack called back]] to this during her ConfessionCam after being voted off.
41	** Wrestling/TrishStratus is asked a question about Richard Nixon, pauses for over a minute before replying "I'm from Canada, I don't know" - and Anne can be heard {{Corpsing}} as she gives the correct answer.
42	** Anne asks Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon where her muscles are. Stephanie gestures to her chest and says "I got two big ones right here."
43	* From another WWE episode: Anne asked "Stone Cold" Steve Austin why they should know him. Austin takes a moment to clear his throat and answers, "What?" The other wrestlers and the audience cracks up laughing and applauding.
44	** Another hilarious moment is when Stone Cold is asked why he voted off [[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys D-Von Dudley]] instead of Debra:[[note]]His wife at the time[[/note]]
45	--> '''Stone Cold:''' I'm not that stupid. I may not get too many answers right today but if I vote against my wife, it'd be the dumbest thing I've ever done.
46	** Anne then gets a moment of her own when Stone Cold is voted off.
47	--> '''Anne:''' [[BorrowedCatchphrase The bottom line is... because]] ''[[BorrowedCatchphrase I]]'' [[BorrowedCatchphrase said so...]] You are the weakest link. Goodbye!
48	* A UK celebrity edition featuring [[DumbBlonde Chantelle Houghton]]. Anne asks Chantelle a question beginning with "In Celtic mythology...", causing the girl to throw her hands up as if to say "you seriously expect me to get this?" What makes it even funnier is that she got the question right.
49	* This question:
50	-->'''Anne:''' Complete the title of the well-known play: ''The Iceman''... what?\
51	'''Contestant:''' Melts.[[note]]Answer: Cometh.[[/note]]
52	* From the newsmakers edition after the first round, Todd and Darva get into a fight and Anne has to intervene.
53	** Then later on Kato mistakenly thought the Boy Scouts of America's motto was the motto of Alcoholics Anonymous.
54	* And then there was the US episode in which all the contestants dressed like Anne, prompting this comment:
55	-->'''Anne:''' It is truly embarrassing to stand among you. I might even sue.
56	* In the reboot, one player gets voted out and refuses the leave prompting Jane to leave her podium to force him off stage, which makes the contestant walk off voluntarily. In his interview, he revealed he just wanted to see what would happen if he refused to leave.
57	* This answer from the reboot:
58	-->'''Jane:''' What "B" is a man tending to if he's trimming his Van Dyke?\
59	'''Contestant:''' Bush.[[note]]Answer: Beard.[[/note]]
60	* One episode has a very attractive woman who is a truck driver, so Jane asks her what that's like and she explains that at rest stops other truck drivers think she's the lot lizard. Jane asks what that is and, remembering it's a family show, she tries to be subtle pointing out that's the person who gets in the truck, but not for the purpose of driving or hitchhiking.
61	* George Gray tells an eliminated contestant that he belongs in the Music/BackstreetBoys or Music/{{NSYNC}}, to which [[SnarkToSnarkCombat the contestant replies that George belongs in]] ''Franchise/StarWars''.
62	-->'''George:''' I ''am'' your Darth Vader. [[InsultBackfire You're Princess Leia, punk]]!
63	* Anne asks a contestant to identify the Rice Krispies mascots. He guesses Crispy and Crunch to the laughter of the audience. Anne drastically raises her voice when giving the answer of Snap, Crackle and Pop.
