* UnPerson: The Lifebuoy in ''Book'' chapter 3. It appeared in chapter 2 and was originally planned to return in chapter 3, but when chapter 3 released the lifebuoy was not only replaced with a Fusestopper, but their slots were entirely removed from the HUD and their page in the instructions was ripped out. WordOfGod is that it was left out due to bugs regarding them in chapter 2 (one where it would fail to work when you have only one life left, and one where it is automatically given to you upon restarting from a Game Over), as well as it being deemed to be not that useful compared to skips and Fusestoppers.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Question 42 of [=TIQ2=] is probably the weirdest in the series, a very simple impossible-to-lose task that ends in a nonsensical and utterly inane series of sounds and images designed as a homage to a DeviantArt animation by the user GingerNeck. It is never brought up again for the rest of the quiz.



* DerangedAnimation: The aforementioned nonsensical Question 42 of [=TIQ2=], which consists of random flashing of different text and images accompanied by random sounds.

How to describe this game? Hrm... well, what ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'' is to platformers, the ''The Impossible Quiz'' series, made by old-timer Website/{{Newgrounds}} creator [[https://splapp-me-do.newgrounds.com Splapp-Me-Do,]] is to puzzle games. Mainly composed of trick questions, with the answer occasionally not in the answer box, it has frustrated many LetsPlay hosts and amused many people. The games develop a storyline as they go on, and it's surprisingly engaging considering its roots as a silly flash game.
