The Crystal Maze/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • One contestant was supposed to get the crystal out of a treasure chest, but for some strange reason he seemed more interested in a skeleton that served no purpose other than decorating the test chamber. Richard O'Brien tried to help the contestant out by telling him to "look at the chest." So the contestant grabbed hold of the skeleton via its ribcage and tried to drag it out of the chamber, which resulted in much yelling from his team-mates about how that wasn't the "chest" that Richard was talking about.
  • Another had a contestant putting together pieces of a puzzle which would then tell him a button he had to press on a wall. The person had to press U3 then continue from there, but he spent most of the remaining time trying to figure out what to do next. Eventually when he came out as the timer ran out, a somewhat exsaperated Richard pulled the contestant back into the room and solved the puzzle for him!

Richard: "Now we go Left 2! Let's get the hell out of here!"

  • THIS GAME. To quote the host himself, "She was in the water more than she was out of the door!"
    • For a time a clip of that game even made it into the opening titles
