Actually originated in Family Fortunes with Les Dennis.

Part of Les's chat show schtick back in the day was to recount a series of answers given to questions - of which this was one of a well-worn series.

Others included - 'Name something green in the garden?' - 'My shed.'

I often think it's a bit unfair to mock quiz show answers as we all have our own areas of knowledge, but I must admit this one was a peach ;-)

It is a bit unfair, I agree.

It's easy to sit on your sofa at home and shout at the TV, but a studio is very intimidating place, and the rabbit / headlights interface can easily occur.

So to be fair, it's not stupidity, it's mind-freeze and panic.

Andy - I definitely saw the Naomi Campbelll answer on Pointless - I have watched Family Fortunes.
I remember it from Family Fortunes. Not to say it hasn't been said again on Pointless.
I guess what counts as a stupid answer depends on your own assessment of the question.
Q. Something you find on a fire engine. A. Coal!
How about 'assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas' answer JR. Ponitless
Q. Name a dangerous race. A. The Arabs.
Q. What was Hitlers first name. A. Heil.
