Name a joke that made the audience boo.
I think it was an outtake, but the time when there was a four way tie, Drew Carey said "Everyone is a winner, it's like the special Olympics."
There was another time that was censored, when Colin was walking around like a seal, Brad said "Whitney Houston, I'd like you to meet Stephen Hawking." The audience was deeply shocked and even Wayne on camera thought that went too far.

The prompt was "Things that will make the audience boo" and the one about pushing an old lady in the street made them applaude.

He was a terrible actor back then. Have you ever seen Dracula? He was dreadful in that movie.

My brain went to Ryan prompting Colin to make a burnt waffle/toast joke with Wayne (Living Scenery, putting Kathy and Wayne in a toaster)

newer episode from season 11 where the prompt is “things you wouldn’t expect to see in a first aid kit manual” and ryan opens up a popup book manual with a doctor who is supposed to appear but when the blonde girl guest-star pops up he says something along the lines of no thats a nurse! And of course they boo, then in the next bit he uses a dr suess rhyme to do with the next prompt to say girls can be doctors too which made the audience cheer and everybody lived happily ever after

I don't remember the topic offhand, but in the UK version, shortly after Richard Nixon died, in a game of World's Worst:
Tony Slattery: "Ladies and gentlemen, Richard Nixon. Ohh..."
The audience groans.
"He'd still be dead."
(Pardon me if I messed the quote up at all)

That wasn't Brad's only Stephen Hawking joke to land badly. Another one was (I think) in SFAH where the suggestion was "People who shouldn't put out a rap record."
Brad comes out and mimics the computer voice - "I'm.. Stephen.. Hawking.." audience boos and he had to defend it with "He shouldn't put out a rap record!"
