I happened to be in a pub recently with a bunch of old work friends and there was a quiz so we thought we might as well join in. It wasn't so much the answers that were funny as the questions.
I don't know where they found the Quiz Master but his mispronunciations had us crying with laughter. Sadly I forget many of them now except he asked what sort of cake is commonly made with chewy pastry (choux pastry!).

Sounds like that quizmaster has been watching too much Hole in the Ring.
See also the recently repeated one where in the final a contestant decided to opt for the category of 'Modern Art' much to her team-mate (her mum)'s surprise.
The question was 'Turner Prize Nominees' (or was it winners?). Her first question...."what's the Turner Prize?"
She thought, for some reason, that by 'Modern Art' they meant Pop Music.

To be fair the topic was "Modern Artists" not "Modern Art" - so to think this meant modern pop artists rather than old school '60s ones wasn't quite as bad as you've portrayed it.

I know Penzance is in Cornwall, there were 2 or 3 harder questions in that episode.
Pretty damn funny that someone gave Scotland as an answer though.
Her delayed reaction makes it so much funnier too.
