Finns are known for their specific sense of humor, which is noticeable even in Finnish cinema. This was also proved by the local edition of the “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” format. In one of the questions, the production allowed itself to make a rather frivolous joke and, playing with the word, referred to, among others … genitals.

They asked about the capital of an Asian country
TV viewers were amused by one of the initial questions, worth 100 euros, about the capital of Thailand – Bangkok. The creator of the riddle drew attention to the particle “kok” contained in the name of the city, which is also a phonetic spelling of the word “cock” – a popular English term for male genitalia. According to this principle, he also decided to transform the other variants of the answer – Bangdik (from the word “dick”, also describing the penis), Bangpusi (“pussy” – this time referring to the female genitalia) and Bangtits (“tits” – female breasts). Smuggling the joke was a relatively easy task because the program was not broadcast in English, but in Finnish.
What was the reaction?
Antti Holma, the host of the program, kept a serious face, but the participant, while reading the four possibilities, smiled significantly. The audience was also amused, especially when the correct answer had already been revealed. The question did not cause the player any difficulties and he correctly indicated the capital of Thailand without hesitation. The video went viral a few months ago and quickly went viral on social media.
