lmao, parker house rolls what that actual eff. I promise you that is absolutely not a Thanksgiving thing, perhaps outside a very small, very specific group. Rolls, yes...but clover rolls or pull apart rolls.
You can explain it all you like. It's not Thornburg. In anyway. It didn't remotely look like Jodie Foster either. However, who cares? This episode was worth it just for the Pink Prowler joke. CHEF'S KISS!!
Couple of issues there with the new Japanese capitol city being an anagram of Kyoto. 1. The Japanese don't use the Latin alphabet, so there is no such thing as an anagram in Japanese. 2. Both cities use different characters (though the "Kyo" is the same). 3. The sounds are different. It's Kyōto (long "O", short "O") and Tōkyō (long "O", long "O"). 4. Kyoto (京都) means Capital City, Tokyo (東京) means Eastern Capital. Tokyo was originally called Edo, and was the feudal seat of power for almost 400 years led by the Tokugawa family. This was known as the Edo-period, until the start of the Meiji-period when samurai became outlawed. Kyoto was where the Emperor resided.
Yeah, and other times theyre much harsher on much slighter inaccuracies. It must be frustrating for the other teams, that one of their competitors to win actual money was just handed 18 points for a wrong answer. I would have objected. Especially considering they discounted Tami vs Tani, which is a smaller mistake than Thornbird vs Thunberg They also think that Malmö ends in an O though, so... it seems they dont give two shits about respecting Swedish names, whether it's place names or people's names
To be fair, Tanni is Welsh. Thunberg is already pronounced incorrectly by everyone on the British Isles to begin with. "Th" is just a hard "T" (like Anthony or Thomas), the u is more like the oo in yahoo (albeit slightly different), and berg is pronounced like berry but with the "y" in "yes" at the end. So it's more or less like Toonberryuh.
It was unfortunate for him, but not harsh: the answer was simply wrong. If they had accepted that, they would also have had to accept "Tabby", "Tally" and so on - none of which are her name. Conversely, they *were* overly lenient to accept "Thornberg". That's not a mere mispronunciation: it's pretty clear he recalled the name wrongly.
12 people got the Zimbabwean city? Is there some reason it would be so reasonably well known by British people? Same number of points as the Irish city. Not too far off from Ecuador's capital starting with Q.
Got most of the cities (except the Irish abd Zimbabwean ones). Just a slight mistake, I'm pretty sure "paulistano" refers to people from the state, while "paulista" refers to people from the city. I don't live there, but I think that's it 🙂
In English it is spelt with an "o". The English language doesn't have the letter ö. Tokyo ends with a 京 when it's spelt in Japanese but similarly the English language doesn't have this letter.
I wonder why the host got this job - he isnt very good. Is he part of the public school old boys club...This would explain why we have not got someone that is good.
@@snarkybuttcrack in case you didn’t watch the episode, a board of 16 famous women to name. Just previous to the lad saying Tammi Grey-Thompson, another lad said Greta Thornburg which was claimed to be ok because ‘somewhere in the world they will pronounce it as Thornburg not Thunberg’ absolutely pathetic, they didn’t want to tell him he was wrong because he was black and gay…tick, tick, tickety-tick.
"Just one more thing" for Colombo. I see what you did there :)
American and I have NEVER heard of Parker house rolls
Ö and O are completely different letters.

In version Italian the Pointless is the preseted of the Alessandro Greco aired in Rai 1 in Italy in Production Center in Napoli
I mentioned supertramp, but didn't go for it as i thought it was extremely obvious
I know, absolutely shocking!
Glad that Uncle Alice was a pointless though!
My first thought was The Guess Who. It wasn't pointless, but I don't even know if it was right or if they were even known in the UK.
I do think there is no concistency at all on this show, Joe did say Thornbird in relation to Greta Thunberg

If he had said Thorm berg I would say fine. But he really did Thorn bird..lol
No, definitely a 'berg', can't hear a 'bird' even if I try to ❄
That was a rough call... if you're going to be lenient with pronunciations, be consistent.
I knew letter from America by the proclaimers but im scottish its in my dna to know these things lol x
Joe, spiders are not insect but arachnids so your special subject being insects doesn't help you 😉
Tanni Tammi - that's harsh.

"Malmö" does not end with an "o."

I live in South Africa and I didn’t know Bulawayo until after they said the answer. I had met someone from there during my travels
They play test cricket there...??

@ChrisWar666 I know this comment is old, but "paulista" is the person from the state of São Paulo and "paulistano" is from the city.
Too bad the tennis player didn’t recognize Martina
Sweet potato casserole is delightful
It is Malmö. Ö is a totally different independent letter of it's own
In English it is spelt with an "o". The English language doesn't have the letter ö. Tokyo ends with a 京 when it's spelt in Japanese but similarly the English language doesn't have this letter.
Don't you hate people who hang around here just to nit-pick?@@lilbriggie
Yeah, I commented that too. They don't understand how big of a difference there is between A-Ä, O-Ö and A-Å.
@@lilbriggie Well, it still appears as MalmÖ on the board, so...
I mistook Nicola Sturgeon for Angela Merkel.
Miss Know all .... 😅😅😅
Thornbird goes through but Tammi instead of Tannii does not 🙄🙄🙄

Thornburg wrong, Hanni wrong. That was disgusting.

Please replace the host
pretty sure he did not say Faro......
Not in Portuguese, no .. but acceptable in English
Why is Richard Ayoade on a regular version of this show?
Most of those women inspire nausea
But surely someone in the world someone will call her ‘Tammi’ Grey-Thompson…!!
Of course the lad who was kicked out didn’t tick two diversity boxes.
