The 13 dumbest TV moments

Following last night's Kosher fiasco on The Apprentice - when 'nice Jewish boy' Michael took a chicken to a mosque to be blessed - we've put together some of the dumbest moments on TV:

1. George Galloway pretends to be a cat and licks milk out of a bowl on Celebrity Big Brother while being stroked by Rula Lenska. Cringe making TV at its best. What were they thinking?

2. Big Brother's Jade Goody thinks Cambridge is in London and East Anglia is a country far, far, away.

3. Big Brother's Helen: "Is there any chicken in chick peas?"

4. Jessica Simpson is confused over whether tuna is a fish or a chicken.

5. American Idol contestant Kellie Pickler thinks Europe is a country where we all speak French.

6. Big Brother contestant Brian wonders who Shakespeare was and why everyone else has heard of him.

7. US interviewer is convinced John Cusack is Kevin Spacey and starred in American Beauty.

8. Miss South Carolina answers a question on Miss Teen USA. We have no idea which question she is answering, it's not the one she was asked, but what the hell.

9. "The thing that's wrong with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur" and "Most imports are from outside of the country" are some of the many classics by President Bush.

10. President Bush thinks Nelson Mandela is dead - actually I'll stop there Bush could fill this entire list. Wonder if he'll have time to star on Celeb BB after the elections?

11. John Redwood, minister for Wales, doesn't know the Welsh National Anthem so mimes, badly.

12. Anita calls an Australia quiz show and can't get the answer despite it being blindingly obvious. (You don't have to know that glad wrap is Oz for cling film to feel the frustration.)

13. New Hall College from Cambridge University score 35 points on University Challenge one of the lowest scores ever. Although they were 'beaten' by the House of Commons who scored just 25 points in a professionals special - which strikes us as extra special.

The Oprah episode years ago, where white people who discovered the existence of just one black relative hundreds of years ago in their ancestry rushed about on stage crying and screaming "I'm black! I'm black!" One of the most bizarre, hilarious and dumbest things I've ever seen.

How come almost all the entries are from pointless bubblegum tv?

You should be embarassed to show that you take these shows seriously and that you have acquired this utterly useless information.

Try reading a book - you might be able to impart something useful to the readers rather than this pap.

Calm down faceless, nothing wrong with light-hearted articles like this one. I suggest you don't click on pieces called '13 dumbest TV moments' if you think they will offend you so much

Most embarrassing of all is your preference for dribble over quality television.

Chill out faceless! It's just some light hearted reading!

Makes the people in work seem like Einstien in comparison!

You can't leave out Neil Kinnock's classic American evangelist-styled conference opener in 1980-something... "We're alriiiight!... We're alriiiiight!... We're alriiiiiiiiight!"

Yes actually Neil, we are. But you sir, may well be in need of some attention.

And indeed, what about the walk along the beach in Brighton for the cameras which Neil narrowly didn't avoid, falling behind-first into the water, grabbing wildly at his wife. And then waving vigorously at the cameras out of total embarrasment. Perfect.

What a nutter!

The Bushisms are fables. He never said the one about entrepreneur and in answer to a question about Iraq he remarked that any potential Mandelas in Iraq were dead, killed by Saddam.

You could do at least a little research.

Cringe-making writing at its best: "it's" = "it is"; "its" = of or belonging to "it" (cf. #1)
