Family Fortunes had a few good ones. Bob Monkhouse: Name a bird with a long neck Contestant: Naomi Campbell Bob Monkhouse: Name a dangerous race. Contestant: The Arabs (was edited out of the broadcast though) And my all time favourite, which even though I must have seen it 100 times still makes me cry with laughter... Max Bygraves: Name something people take with them to the beach. Contestant: A turkey. Max Bygraves: The first thing you buy in a supermarket. Contestant: A turkey? Max Bygraves: A food often stuffed. Contestant: A turkey! You need to watch the clip to fully appreciate it.
That’s just reminded me of one of my favourite Bob Monkhouse jokes… I want to die like my father, peacefully in his sleep, not screaming and terrified like his passengers.
