There's been some belters over the last few years. I am surprised there isn't an hour long funny answer compilation. There's at least one a week on 'The Chase' alone.

Who's playing?
Every single time she replies with Russia against ( insert name )

I said Rio and instantly knew I was wrong but they took the first answer.
Finished 2nd though so least I wasn't a total failure haha. They wouldn't let me wear claret and blue so I opted for just claret instead.
