Watch this woman flub her Canadian 'Family Feud' answer in the most iconic way

Don't lie. You thought it, too.
By Andy Moser  on 

A contestant on the Canadian version of Family Feud has given what will surely go down as one of the best-worst answers in game show history.

The woman, whose name tag read "Eve," stepped up to the plate to answer a question during a crucial moment in the game.

"Name Popeye's favorite food," the host said. She buzzed in immediately. "Chickeeeennnnnn," she blurted out with total confidence.

Cue her shimmy. That game-changing shimmy. And then the collective gasp from the crowd. The rest is history.

She was so sure she had it, until she wasn't. Everyone looked up at the board to see what they all knew was coming: A big red "X" indicating that Eve's answer, while in a way brilliant, was wrong.

Maybe we've all been spending a little too much time talking about chicken sandwiches lately.

"Spinach, Gerry," said the contestant from the opposing team, which was, of course, correct — as anybody who ever watched the famous Popeye the Sailor cartoon would tell you.

The moment has blown up on social media, meaning Canadian Family Feud Eve could become the source for the next glorious meme of 2020.

Sometimes, confidence is everything. Eve may not be bringing home the cash, but a TV moment like this, we gotta say, is priceless.
