Last year in my Japanese class we'd sometimes play shiritori (click if you need an explanation). And there was this dumb guy in my class (and I'm not sure he liked this game that much), but he'd always give a word ending in the "n" kana (you're not supposed to) and kept thinking he won.
I was watching a TV show called 'The Chase' the host asked to the contestant named Silvia this question
Host: In the Simpsons who is the Father of Rod and Todd?
Silvia: Bart Simpson?
when I hear the answear she gave I actually facepalmed to that and said "OH MY GOD! HOW DUMB CAN YOU BE?!?" and yes I said it out loud. I also told that to sis and she actually facepalmed to that as well
