Epistemic nuisance
It took me ages and ages to work out how it works. I kept thinking, it's not that difficult to give a wrong answer. I still don't fully get itGive me Deal or no deal any day.
Lol really? There's not that much to get.
I've watched it from the very first episode, absolutely love it and the co-presenter Richard Osman is hilarious. It's a real cunt of a show though because at the end they also have the most obscure subjects and questions!

Anyone else love Pointless? On every day 5.15pm on BBC1. I love Richard Osman.

Me and a mate were going to apply to go on but we missed the deadline

You don't try to give a wrong answer - those earn you 100 points each, and your aim is to get as few points as possible. You try to get one of several right answers, preferably the one that the fewest other people have given, and your score is the number of other people who have given that answer. A right answer that nobody has previously given is a 'pointless answer', which is what you're aiming for. it's like a better version of Family Fortunes.

Is the man a giant!? 
Is this why they keep him sat down?
Is this why they keep him sat down?I think my sexuality is in question, maybe too much booze over the last month? My first thought upon seeing that pic was 'i bet he has a huge cock'. If you asked 100 people what their first response was, that would be above 50, wouldn't it?
Good show, bbc1 show bbc2 repeats, folk like me can look clever n stuff.

i catch it occasionally but it frustrates me because it's near impossible to win.
i did get a pointless answer the other day, though. Tennessee Williams plays.

It is great. The premise appeals to quizzers, as it's essentially a list show, and to me, as it places emphasise on predicting what other people are likely to know, which is far more satisfying that being able to name all fifty USA states by population order. The Nick Knowles lottery show is good as well.

I'm inclined to post a question, but it wouldn't work as we don't have the results of 100 people

Fucking brilliant, I love him even more now! Both of them actually but especially Richard. I'm sure he said on one show that he's 6ft 7, he's enormous!
