Stupid Panel Questions?
|
After hearing about the guy who asked Carrie to read his script and hearing a few of my own, I figured it would be fun to share stupid questions people asked all weekend. Here are my two, both from Fanboys panels:
One guy asked if the kids get to see the movie at the end of Fanboys. The creators just kind of stared at him and said "We're not going to answer that" and he got some boos.
Later in the Fanboy panel, a lady said she screens movies for profanity before she watches them because it offends her (she was at least 30) and asked how much profanity there was going to be in the movie. All they could really say was that it was PG-13 and there was no nudity, but it wasted time that could have been used for a good question.

Dumb questions and cons go hand in hand. You should go to some Trek cons for some truly stupid questions.

The cutest one I heard was a little girl asking Temuera Morrison why Jango Fett didn't duck.

The first guy at the Force Among Us panel talking abou he believes in UFOs and such and how they just discovered a new alien race which was the closest thing to what we see in Star Wars. Chris and Cortney had no idea what to say.

You can NOT mention that question being asked without explaining what the answer was

I honestly don't remember what Tem said; we were laughing way too hard, and so was he.

In the Family Guy presentation on Saturday Afternoon a guy asked Seth
"Q. Of the three voices you do on family guy; Peter, Quagmire (spelling) and Stewie. Which is your favourite?"
To which his reply was
"Brian"

I'm pretty sure all Tem answered was "that's a good question."
Did anyone else go and heard the answer?

Oh, man, nothing beats Trek cons -- there's always the "I just wanted to say that I love you guys and love Star Trek!" idiot. Duh. We KNOW you love Star Trek, we're all AT a STAR TREK CONVENTION, moron. Sigh. Must...strangle...fool...
Actually though I loathe Creation with a passion, I do give them respect for their blurb on all their convention websites, basically a paragraph giving the obvious statement above, along with "Don't be a jerk, ask dumb questions, give gifts on-stage, ask for autographs on-stage, try to deliver your script and/or make idiotic statements that waste time." Finally. All conventions should have that, including CV and onward.
Kids asking questions, that's one thing. Adults who should know better, that's something else.

You know, I don't remember if he did answer the question or not. We were all laughing too hard to notice.
The questions do get screened, but there's really nothing you can do to prevent someone lying and then asking their stupid question once they get up to the microphone. That's what happened with the guy who asked Anthony Daniels for a hug.

We had multiple of these in every panel. It just got so annoying.
Stupid questions is what made the LotF panel so disappointing. Most of the questions were on things that anyone could have known was out of bounds, and wasted time. I know that Karen was disappointed that there weren't more questions on the wider areas that could have been asked, rather than variations on the "What happens next?" questions.

Unfortunately you can't help the idiots in the crowd.
You always know when someone has asked a dumb question when you get the collective/embarrased <sigh> from everyone else. At that time all people want to do is apologise to the guest .... and relocate the question's author to another planet.
Yes, Star Trek conventions do seem to get it the worst.

After a long awkward hug the guy didnt seem like he wanted to leave, started talking alot not sure if he was asking for a number or a kiss but I was waiting for Jay to do the body gaurd shuffle on the fan. Anthony Daniels was a good sport about it though, saying that "this hug is for all of you in the room".

I love the question that a Buffy TVS star was once asked...
"If you could be a flower, what would it be and why?" (this was asked by a teenage girl).
Amongst the huge groan of fans in the crowd, the actor didn't even respond and went to another question.
