== Live-Action TV ==
* Parodied in the comedy skit show
** It's carried over from the original British version, where the host would explicitly give and take away ludicrous amounts of points for no reason other than humor.
** Likewise, its spiritual successor ''[[Mock the Week]]''.
* In fact, with most [[Panel Game]]s the score is irrelevant to some degree or other, however much the contestants may protest. Since the show is recorded over two or three hours, then edited down for the final transmission, whole questions tend to be cut out. That can mean that one team might seem to answer only a few questions correctly but end up winning the game.
** ''[[QI]]'' is a prime example of this, as the difficulty is compounded by the fact that points (plus or minus) seem to be awarded arbitrarily by both the scorer and [[Stephen Fry]].
*** An even better example is "Talking bout You're Generation" where the points for awarded for the final round are always 1 point more than the difference between the points of the winning team and the points of the team in third.
