They just showed it about 45 minutes ago, and luckily, YouTube has the clip.

I found it funny Ben Bailey looked at the camera, and gave "the look", signifying he probably knew what the guy just said....

That's just great. That was the greatest look I've seen on that show yet.

That man was wrong, indeed. Hentai isn't an Indian style of tattooing. It's pornography with anime characters. Laughing

Also, does that guy was anime or did he not known the term "hentai"?

I gotta wonder, If he would use the term incorrectly it seems likely that he doesnt know what it means. Infact, if hed use it to awnser that question, It seems unlikely that hed even just have heard it somewhere in relation to anime. Idunno, Im tempted to chock this one up to coincidence.

Wow well it could of been worse, after seeing those shows where they show the best (worse) bloopers that answer doesn't make the top 5 but it's certainly the funniest anime related answer I've heard of.

That look on his face was pretty funny, and the guy looked REALLY confident in his answer.

Dollars to donuts the contestant got confused with "henna" tattoos.

I think he did. Did you see the look on his face after that guy said "hentai"?

That look was classic! Laughing Ben had to have known what hentai really is. Too bad for the contestant though. I can only imagine what he'd think if he found out what hentai really is ...

Man, that was great! Laughing

You know, it actually kind of reminds me of that South Park episode recently where he accidentally answered the "N" word on Wheel of Fortune (and it even got on YouTube!). Of course, he's probably not going to be nearly as ridiculed and all over the news or anything, but it's just as embarrassing!

Wow, just wow.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw the look on the cab driver's face. Anime hyper

Coincidence or perhaps a fake contest(ant)? Either way it wasn't all that funny to me. Just another reason to avoid the telly.
