Scowl is an episode of May I Have a Word where none of the 3 contestants correctly defined the word.
Plot[]
In Round 1, Emily buzzes in first, saying that a Scowl is a bad guy, like Dr. Two-Brains' henchmen. After being told that her answer is incorrect, Tommy remarks: "You must feel just as embarrassed as Tobey did when Becky beat him at Cash or Pie." Emily corrects him, saying that the name of the game was Crash or Pie. Next, Phil buzzes in and distorts his face, saying something like "A scowl I make a face like that!" This technically was an example of a scowl instead of a definition, but Beau couldn't understand him anyway so it wasn't accepted. The round has ended in a triple stumper. Beau then defines the word as "a frown or an angry expression...like the look on your faces!"
Since nobody won in Round 1, the first person to choose the picture that shows the definition for Scowl will win the bonus round. After seeing the pictures, all three contestants buzz in simultaneously and say "Number 2!" in unison, which is correct, so all of them win the bonus round prize.
Prizes[]
