Bullseye (UK game show)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fair for Its Day: In the 1984 Christmas special in which celebrities won money and prizes for charities, Jim used the term 'mentally handicapped', which has since become regarded as politically incorrect in the UK.
  • Memetic Mutation: "Super smashing lovely great, let's see what you could've won" and the prize invariably being a speedboat. Was already in common circulation even before Peter Kay put it in his routine.
    • The contestants saying "We've had a great day Jim and we're going to gamble" when asked whether they would take the money or gamble in the last round.
    • "AND BULLY'S SPECIAL PRIZE..."
  • Nightmare Fuel: The show's mascot Bully, particularly if you're a little kid.
  • So Bad It's Good

Peter Kay: There's never been a programme like it! It were shit, and it were good!

  • What an Idiot!:
    • When the first 180 was hit, the partner failed to answer relatively simple questions and blew the chance for big cash.
    • A contestant on the Challenge version thought that every country had a sun.
  • What the Hell, Casting Agency?: Dave Spikey as host of the revival, since he had famously claimed he wasn't a fan.
