The Points Mean Nothing: Difference between revisions

** In earlier episodes, Humph would award points, but they never made sense and were never added up to a total. ("Right, well, it's level-pegging. We move on to...") Sometimes, he'd hand out points for grovelling, sometimes for ''not'' grovelling, points would routinely be reversed if someone on the leading team made an exceptionally lame joke...strangely enough, he stopped giving out points around the same time Samantha was introduced into the show.

* You might expect ''[[Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!|Wait Wait Don't Tell Me]]'' to be like this, but it actually keeps a fairly rigid scoring system. Subverted in that the prize is essentially bragging rights for the panelist. What does matter is how callers do—they get announcer Carl Kassel to record a message on their answering machine.
