Somehow I missed this significant moment, from 2011.
The clip doesn’t show it, I but I’m guessing “STDs” scored higher in the survey than either answer given.
<sigh>

I remember seeing this clip about six months ago; I thought it was quite funny. I thought it captured a moment when something popped into the contestant’s head and he went with it. I thought Steve Harvey’s reaction was perfect. The fact that the answer was on the board just made it all the more humorous.
Judging from the reaction of the contestant, he said what came to him because he was on a time constraint. A ridiculous answer is better than none at all.
