{{quote| '''Paul Merton:''' ''(breathlessly)'' Well, obviously, I'm amazed I won, completely amazed. But I think Ian made a tactical mistake by [[Schmuck Bait|continually mentioning Bob Maxwell]]. I think that was his mistake. But I think, you know, in the end, the best man won. Wh-wh-wh-wh-what more can I say?<br />

The fact that [[The Points Mean Nothing|there's a whole load of questions about carp on a topical news quiz]], I mean, so what? It's just fun. Who wins, who loses doesn't matter. It's just fun. ''(twitch)'' }}
** Again, at the height of ''[[The Weakest Link]]''`s popularity, Anne Robinson appeared in a [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]] at the end of an episode of ''[[Never Mind the Buzzcocks]]'' to announce host Mark Lamarr was the Weakest Link, after which Lamarr gave a parody of the [[Elimination Statement]] during the credits.
