Morons tend to exist in many of the same places as regular folks. Amusingly enough, that includes on game shows! This page shows you how to play Who Wants to be a Millionaire like a moron. Television is arguably the best way to look stupid in front of a large group of people. Inevitably, morons take this opportunity whenever it's handed to them! If you're looking to embarrass yourself on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, read the steps below to learn how.
Dumbest Millionaire Contestant - First Question Wrong!
Watch as this college student gets the first Who Wants to be a Millionaire question wrong. He admits to not sleeping and drinking large amounts of coffee to stay awake. Perhaps, in hindsight, that wasn't the wisest strategy!
Step 1: Use All Three of Your Life Lines on One Easy Question
When you don't know the answer to a question, your first move will likely be to ask the audience. Though they get the answer right the majority of the time, always ignore them. Also, if you're deciding between two possible answers, why not use the 50/50 lifeline to take away the two that you already know are incorrect? Yes, you'll look dumb for using a lifeline for no reason, but not nearly as dumb as you're about to look. Finally, go ahead and phone that friend so he can agree with what the audience has already told you.
Step 2: Make Sure You Don't Know the Rules
The rules were modified in later versions of Who Wants to be a Millionaire to include new life lines like Double Dip.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjGwO189Lb4 With Double Dip, you could pick a second answer if your first one was wrong, but you couldn't walk away. However, that didn't stop at least one contestant from trying anyway! The host will usually confirm that you're familiar with the rules at the beginning of the game, but that doesn't mean you actually have to be. As a moron on a game show, forgetting the rules is one sure-fire way to look stupid.
Step 3: Get the First Question Wrong
Getting the first question wrong is the easiest way to achieve Millionaire Moron fame! At least one moron who has managed to accomplish this feat has had their moment of shame played on YouTube over a million times!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0hTmj3f4Zo As a Moron on Millionaire though, you will only be one of several contestants to pull this off. The best way to get the first question wrong is to answer as quickly as possible, barely even considering any of the possible answers. Many morons immediately regret their decision, but by the time they realize it, they've already said "final answer."
