Fair Game has examples of
- Game Show Goofballs: The Warners drive Ned crazy by guessing "Isaac Newton" before he even has the chance to ask the question. When Ned finally does get to ask the question, "Who first identified the laws of gravity?", the Warners actually have a hard time answering it (Yakko even answers "Tori Spelling"). To get the game over with quicker, Ned sends Wakko to the lightning round, where the goal is to solve a puzzle (Eyes+Tack-T Newt+Ton). Wakko keeps guessing wrong (Isaac Newtweight, Isaac Newtheavy, Isaac Newtanvil, and Isaac Newttrapezoid), and the question is then handed to the other two (producing Isaac Newtgraything and Isaac Newttorispelling), which leads to Ned yelling out that the answer is "Isaac Newton". This results in Ned winning the game and a six-month trip to the Rock of Gibraltar, which he doesn't even want.
