Smug quiz show contestant’s embarrassing fail
A smug quiz show contestant got his comeuppance when he failed to answer the very first question on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
Brenton Andreasik, a self-professed “nerd”, was a little too confident as he prepared to answer his first question in a resurfaced clip from 2015.
“Ten million people watching a show about smart people every night, celebrating being smart, and I thought, you know what, maybe it’s not so bad being smart,” he said.
“Maybe it’s not bad being a nerd. Maybe it’s cool to be smart and I followed that all the way, and I just graduated from medical school.”
But when faced with the first question, Brenton’s confidence falters.
“Snapping selfies in kitchens you can’t afford and taking a ‘meatball break’ are two things BuzzFeed says every 20-something does on their first trip … where?” was the first question posed.
It’s an odd question but when you see the options of “To Paris, To London, To Rome or To Ikea”, the answer should become obvious.
But for Brenton, the path forward was not clear.
He wrong answers “Rome”, adding that he would like to spend his winnings on a trip there.
To add to his embarrassing fail, he even mentions that Ikea serves meatballs before deciding that there is no way that could be the right answer.
