Mind Boggling 'Millionaire' Failures

published July 26, 2009

You've done it! You've gotten your opportunity to make thousands of dollars, perhaps hundreds of thousands in mere minutes by simply answer some trivia questions. The questions are scaled so that the first questions are ridiculously simple and they get harder as you go further. Unfortunately, some contestants are so dim witted, that they fail miserably on the first couple questions. So "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?" Apparently not these people. Here a collection of screenshots from the most epic of these fails.

 

If this were true, Lenin's Tomb would be a seriously scary sight to behold. The Russian children would love it.

 

 

This woman goes to Harvard, so it's may be safe to say that Denny's is a bit low class for one such as herself. Still, watching her cry was delightful.

 

 

His facepalm says it all The real answer is E: Top of my head!

 

 

What an idiot! Everyone knows that the real answer is D: I'm Moving to Canada!

 

 

This is another fantastic fail. What in sam hell is she thinking by answering Mainezoil?! The look on her face when she realizes she messed up is priceless.

 

 

I like this guy's style. I personally grind up baby elephant tusks and baby giraffe hooves, mix them with beluga whale endocrine secretion, and lather myself up. Of course, the real answer was Palmolive (Palm Oil, Olive Oil).

 

 

I find this one extra funny because the inclusion of two dirty words, a word that looks like 'catastrophe' and the ! symbol spelled out.

 

 

It's not always the contestant that is full of fail. The audience was completely off, as Lincoln is the correct answer. The poor contesant went with the audience and lost. You should know that there is a certain point where the audience is completely unreliable.

 

This failure circulated around the net for quite a while, but unfortunately it's just a fake. Go here to see it. (Thanks to Ernest for correcting me on this one)

 

 

Probably the second most famous after the elephant lady. First question fail!

 

 

Again the audience fails miserably leading to this guys loss. In the audience's defense, they watch NBC not FOX.

 

 

This guy's look says it all. A big thank you to the audience.

 

 

This is the moment when you realize you are a complete idiot.
