* One outtake from the original TVS run had the contestants trying to incorrectly solve a catchphrase. After they both tried, Roy gives them the answer, but instead of giving them the correct answer (Blue Heaven), he instead tells them the answer is 'Columbo'. The look on his face afterwards is just priceless.

* The infamous "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA5UtVoDUl4 Snake Charmer]]" puzzle on the British version (January 1995), in which the partly-revealed animation appeared to show Mr. Chips engaging in an activity associated with 14-year-old boys. Cue everyone in the studio being reduced to fits of laughter. It really didn't help that the squares that were picked just happened to be the ones revealing Mr. Chips' rather unfortunately-shaped head and the head of the snake (which gave rise to the alternative thought that Mr. Chips might be jacking off ''with the snake''. Or ''jacking the snake off'').

** However, the puzzle animation was edited post-broadcast, which meant that the viewers watching on TV would not understand why the studio audience, the contestants, and Roy Walker are nearly paralysed by hysterical laughter.

* Episode 7 happened to have another Snake Charmer-like moment with the Bonus Catchphrase "Booby Trap", depicting... '''a bear trap staring at a topless lady's bosom'''. Not a big surprise that this sent everyone into histerics. The guesses from contestants June and John were... crazy to say at least, which such examples as "Bra Strap", "Heaving Bosum" and "Chest Bite". Nobody got it though.
* Not even Stephen Mulhern could suffer from his own "Snake Charmer". In a March 2014 [[CelebrityEdition Mother's Day Special]] featuring Emma Willis, Kimberley Walsh and Creator/DavidWalliams, as well as their mothers, the Bonus Catchphrase is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAmNfCLYINM Dicing with Death]]". However, the way everyone found out could essentually make this puzzle Snake Charmer 2.0, but swap Mr. Chips for a Chef and the Snake for TheGrimReaper and you're good to go.

The "lucky" guesser, Emma Willis, told Stephen she would ''not'' say what she thought she saw.
* The less famous, but hilarious "Ice Spider Monkey" incident from 1998. Daniel kept getting the toss-up catchphrases but had no idea what the big puzzle was, and his guesses just got more and more bizarre.
* One of the most grotesque catchphrases the show has featured was turned into one of these. The puzzle showed three young army men being gunned down, followed by an elderly trooper repeatedly dodging the bullets. Following the initial laughter at the animation of him dancing around the screen and a few guesses, one of the contestants suggested "Firing Blanks"; the studio fell about laughing. (The correct answer was [[spoiler:"Old Soldiers Never Die"]].)

* Another TVS-era outtake has Roy resuming the show, but has a polo mint in his mouth. He proceeds to say "I swallowed it and it came back up!".

* Series 13 surely had a sight to be seen to be Roy's last season, with two funny moments.
** The very first episode of the season had the bonus Catchphrase "Frost Bite", but contestant Daniel on the other hand just couldn't guess this one. His answers got more and more bizarre, examples being "Throbbing Ice", "Pool of Ice Water", "Drawbridge" and most famously "Ice Spider Monkey". What makes it even more funny? '''he managed to get all the normal catchphrases right!'''

* The infamous "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpkQU3lnhYE Snake Charmer]]" puzzle on the British version (November 1994), in which the partly-revealed animation appeared to show Mr. Chips engaging in [[ADateWithRosiePalms an activity associated with 14-year-old boys]]. Cue everyone in the studio being reduced to fits of laughter.
** It really didn't help that the squares that were picked just happened to be the ones revealing Mr. Chips' rather unfortunately-shaped head and the head of the snake (which gave rise to the alternative thought that Mr. Chips might be jacking off ''with the snake''. Or ''jacking the snake off'').

* One outtake from the original TVS run had the contestants trying to incorrectly solve a catchphrase. After they both tried, Roy gives them the answer, but instead of giving them the correct answer (Blue Heaven), he instead tells them the answer is 'Columbo'. The look on his face afterwards is just priceless.

* One of the most grotesque catchphrases the show has featured was turned into one of these. The puzzle showed three young army men being gunned down, followed by an elderly trooper repeatedly dodging the bullets. Following the initial laughter at the animation of him dancing around the screen and a few guesses, one of the contestants suggested ''Firing Blanks''; the studio fell about laughing. (The correct answer was [[spoiler:''Old Soldiers Never Die'']].)
