- Timberlakes: "Sing," "Shave," "Wash my hair" - Bettmans: "Cry," "Pray," "Masturbate" (Timberlake, as himself, hesitates before giving this answer, causing the audience to erupt in laughter)
Question 2: "Name a part of the male anatomy."
- Timberlakes: "Eyes," "Nose," "Ears" - Bettmans: "Penis," "Testicles," "Anus" (Timberlake, as his brother, hesitates before giving this answer, leading to another wave of laughter)
