Wednesday October 28, 2009 5:00 AM

“Jeopardy!” has been around since God batted his eyelashes and created Earth. (That’s what my science class taught me.) Over the years the game show showcased the best and the brightest players in the United States. It has also introduced some people who probably rode the short bus during their educational career (like these 6 People Freaking Out From Animals and 10 Stupid People With Fireworks). Check out these 10 Worst, Most Awkward And Just Plain Wrong “Jeopardy!” Answers (Which Are Really Questions).

10. Just in time for Halloween!
Don’t condemn that man. He’s been using that voice a parties for the past 30 years trying to pick up girls.

Trebek and the not-so-subtle racism of higher expectations.

8. A Mormon says a swear word!
Oh, Ken Jennings. Thank you for showing us how to be a true “Jeopardy!” champion. BTW, his answer completely fits the question. So blow yourself, Trebek.

7. Why they should cut the college round.
This kid is so pleased with himself. Not for winning $30,000, but for being a the smuggest math nerd in the challenge.

5. Kid rocks out.
So Guam isn’t the right answer, but this kid could care less.
(BTW, he’s like six and he has a more advanced knowledge of wagering than I do. You should see me at the blackjack table after a few milkshakes. It’s scary.)

4. Another one where Trebek is a jerk.
Ha ha ha… no. It’s not the losing that hurts me, it’s the laughing and pointing.

3. Alex almost makes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar cry.
It’s okay, Grandpa. Sometimes basketball players forget things in their old age.

2. “Twelve Hundred Balls”
This category was on the Teen Tournament. And… no… one… laughed.
So maybe the apocalypse isn’t that far off.

Obvi. At least the response wasn’t Lady Gaga.
