Family Feud is a beloved game show for many reasons, but let’s be honest, a big part of its appeal is the often-unpredictable and hilarious answers contestants give under pressure. Two classic segments, Hornsbys vs. Andersons and Quinns vs. Osbeys, provide prime examples of this comedic gold, especially when considering the unexpected answer “hombre” in a Fast Money round. Let’s dive into some of the funniest moments from these family face-offs.
Body Image and Beach Realities
The Hornsbys and Andersons kicked things off with a relatable question about body image. The survey question was: “Name a place where you see lots of people who make you realize your body ISN’T so bad after all.” John from the Hornsbys confidently answered “Beach,” securing the top spot with 33 points. It’s a classic, and let’s face it, many can relate to feeling a little better about themselves after a beach day observing the diverse range of body types enjoying the sun and sand.

Nathaniel from the Andersons attempted a steal, guessing “Buffet/dinner.” While it landed at number four with 11 points, it sparked a series of other amusing guesses from the Hornsbys, including “Bathroom,” “theme park/fair,” and “gym.” These answers highlight the everyday places where we often compare ourselves to others, sometimes finding unexpected comfort in the realization that “not so bad after all” can apply to many of us.
Fairy Godmother Wishes and Marital Scales
Round 2 brought a touch of fantasy with the question: “If you had a fairy godmother, you might ask her to double the size of your what?” Jacquanda from the Andersons nailed the number one answer: “Income/bank account,” a wish many viewers likely share, earning a whopping 72 points.

The Andersons continued with a series of more personal and humorous answers, including “Life,” “home/garage,” and even “(wife’s) boobs.” One particularly cheeky response was “short schlong,” demonstrating the game’s ability to elicit both relatable and risqué answers. John’s steal attempt with “TV” unfortunately didn’t make the board, proving that even fairy godmothers can’t grant every wish.
The Fast Money round in the Hornsbys vs. Andersons segment contained the key phrase we’re focusing on: “Hombre Family Feud.” In the female demographic question, “A slang word for man,” Latoya from the Andersons confidently answered “hombre.” This answer, while perhaps not universally common slang, demonstrates the cultural diversity that can surface even in seemingly straightforward survey questions. Simeon’s answer “guy” topped the charts, but “hombre” added a unique flavor to the round, highlighting the varied vocabulary people use for “man.”

Hangovers, Ballerinas, and Bride Kisses: More Hilarious Moments
The comedic moments didn’t stop there. The “Double” round question, “Name something you do a lot slower when you have a hangover,” perfectly captured the sluggish reality of post-party mornings. Kim from the Hornsbys correctly guessed “Walk/move” as number one. Nathaniel’s steal attempt, “Getting out of bed,” landed at number three, further illustrating the universal experience of a slow-motion hangover morning.
The “Triple” round question took a turn for the theatrical: “Name something a ballerina would HATE to forget to do before going on stage.” Lisa from the Hornsbys hit the top answer with “Get dressed.” Nathaniel attempted a steal with “Hair,” but the winning answer would have been “Go to bathroom,” a practical necessity often overlooked in the glamorous world of ballet.
The “Speed Dating” (SD) round offered a quick, humorous question: “Someone a man makes sure sees him w/ his new wife.” Paul correctly answered “Ex,” a universally understood, slightly mischievous, and undeniably funny response.
Quinns vs. Osbeys: Wedding Surprises and Drunken Antics
The Quinns vs. Osbeys segment brought its own set of laugh-out-loud moments. Round 1 started with a truly awkward scenario: “Name someone at a wedding you’d be surprised to see the bride French-kissing.” Micky from the Osbeys landed at number six with “Ex,” while Marissa from the Quinns stole with “Photographer.” However, the Quinns’ initial guesses were even more eyebrow-raising, including “Clergy/justice,” “her father,” and “father-in-law.” The top answer, “best man/groomsman,” while still surprising, seemed almost tame compared to some of the other family feud answers. Marissa’s additional bonus answer of “Her mom” was the second most popular response, proving that family dynamics can be just as shocking as ex-relationships at weddings.

Round 2 delved into drunken behavior with the question: “Name something a drunk person might do on the floor.” Shawn from the Osbeys correctly answered “Sleep/pass out.” Micky’s steal attempt, “Whiz,” nailed it, highlighting the less glamorous but often realistic side effects of overindulgence. Other answers included “Fall down,” “crawl,” and “blow chunks,” painting a vivid and humorous picture of drunken floor antics.
Holding Hands, Circus Clowns, and Modern Affordability
The “Double” round question, “Name something a person might ask you to hold,” brought a mix of practical and heartwarming answers. Annie from the Quinns guessed “Their hand,” a sweet and simple response, while D’Quill from the Osbeys opted for the more practical “$/wallet.” Marissa’s steal attempt, “Spot in line,” also resonated with everyday experiences.
The “Triple” round took a bizarre turn with: “Name the first thing a circus clown takes off during a game of strip poker.” Nick from the Quinns correctly guessed “Red nose.” Marissa’s steal attempt, “Pants,” was unsuccessful, with “Hat” being the correct answer that would have continued the game in this very specific and strange scenario.
Finally, the Fast Money round in Quinns vs. Osbeys touched upon modern realities. Questions ranged from “Besides men, name something women fall in love w/ at first sight” (answers included “Clothes” and “Animals”) to “Name something these days that even middle-class people CAN’T afford” (answers included “groceries” and “home”). These questions, while still lighthearted, offered a glimpse into societal trends and economic anxieties.
Family Feud: Unpredictable and Hilarious
These segments from Family Feud perfectly illustrate why the show remains so popular. From body image anxieties to fairy godmother fantasies, drunken floor escapades to strip poker clowns, and the surprising inclusion of “hombre” in a slang question, Family Feud consistently delivers unpredictable and hilarious moments. It’s the unexpected answers, the relatable scenarios, and the family dynamics that make Family Feud a timeless source of entertainment. The game’s charm lies in its ability to tap into the collective consciousness, revealing the funny, quirky, and sometimes bizarre thoughts we all share.
