A Family Feud contestant thought Spain was in New England. Some states might slip your mind but I think we all know Spain is not one of them.

Family Feud is a great game show that’s highly entertaining…especially when a contestant gets an answer wrong or does something embarrassing. This example certainly fits that bill. Social media is now cracking up over a Family Feud contestant’s horrible answer. All she had to do was name a state in New England–and she went with “Spain.” Which isn’t even a state at all! For the record, the states that make up New England include: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont! She could have saved herself a lot of embarrassment going with one of those. Instead, she went with Spain. Ouch. Now, that moment will forever live in infamy online. You can check out the embarrassing mistake on Family Feud below. The mistake happens at the 1:13 mark.

Family Feud Contestant Believes Spain Is In New England

Look, I’m sure it can be difficult being put on the spot like that on national TV. However, c’mon! You can’t be guessing that Spain is in New England! Clearly, she was just nervous and didn’t know what to say. She must have heard “England” and just started thinking of European countries. You can tell that she knew right away that she messed up! It’s going to be hard to escape that one. Her family will never let her live it down. Would yours? I know I’d be the laughing stock of the family for years to come and would never be able to shake it. None of my family would ever want me on their trivia team ever again!

Of course, that’s not the first nor only mistake on Family Feud. There have been tons of embarrassing moments over the years and Steve Harvey is great at reacting to them. Wheel Of Fortune has also had its fair share of embarrassing moments. I guess that’s a risk you take when you compete on a game show that’s on national TV. You can win a lot of money…but you can also lose a lot of pride.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Awards Shows That Have Run Their Course

The People’s Choice Awards were tonight. I tried to watch some of it before quickly giving up. You think the Super Bowl is full or corporate nonsense? Wait until you see…basically every awards show. Here are 5 awards shows that have run their course.

Maybe it wasn’t always this way. There was a time these awards shows meant something. Today? I think things have changed.

5 Awards Shows That Have Run Their Course

Is it just me or does it all feel so forced? Sometimes, it seems like even the people winning the awards aren’t even having fun. It’s hard to blame them. It seems like there’s a new awards show every other day. Especially if you’re in country music. Seriously, every weekend I feel like I’m seeing an ad for the “biggest night in country music.” Every night can’t be the biggest night! That’s not how it works!

The TV awards have lost their appeal and can’t even get anyone to host them. Sorry, Jo Koi. Then, the music awards are either too common or just too typical. The same artists seem to win every year, it’s hard for us to care. Additionally, the big movie awards are often a bore. How often have you seen every movie nominated for Best Picture? Personally, when the list comes out that’s the first time I’ve heard of many of the movies! Maybe that’s partly on me, though.

Seriously, awards shows have gotten so bad that I feel like I look forward to the list of winners of the Razzies more than I do the Oscars! At least the Razzies are funny and entertaining. The Oscars is so meh. Good for them. However, we’re the ones who suffer.

So, here are 5 awards shows that have run their course. It’s time for something new and exciting. Get our attention again! It’s time for something different, before people stop caring all together.

  • The Academy Awards

    Like I said earlier, the winners aren’t always the most popular blockbusters. in fact, they rarely are. They tend to go to really artsy movies that are enjoyed by people who call movies “films.” I can’t blame them, that’s who it’s for. However, they need to think about the audience. Maybe add a best comedy movie? Best horror? That could be cool. I’d pay attention.

  • The Grammys

    It seems like the same people win every year. Sometimes I didn’t even know they released new music! It’s boring. Even the artists are starting to catch on and not care. They need to listen to the audience more. We want something fresh and new!

  • The Golden Globes

    They couldn’t find a host, then when they do people aren’t pleased and complain. There’s no winning. Sure, we could just let Ricky Gervais every year. I would like that. However, I think Hollywood would crumble. There’s no solution. Plus, the Emmys are the bigger deal, right?

  • The People's Choice Awards

    I didn’t even know this was on until I was channel surfing. I watched literally a minute before I couldn’t stand it anymore. It was a lot. Too much for me. Is this really what we’re voting for? Who are these People in question? I need answers. Adam Sandler won a big award and I still couldn’t bring myself to watch. That’s how bad they are!

  • MTV Video And Music Awards

    When’s the last time something cool happened at one of these? They used to be iconic! Artists with beef with meet up and collar and it would be insanely awesome. Or, celebrities would kiss on stage. You never knew what might happen! What happened to those days?
