"Quelle est la femelle du lièvre?" (English translation: "What is the female hare?") was a question used during the final round of a 2001–2002 episode of le Maillon Faible. This question unintentionally sparked one of the most hilarious moments on the entire series due to the answer a contestant named Sandra gave.
After the host Laurence Boccolini asks Sandra to name the female hare, the contestant replies with "doggy style," a name of a sexual position. After realizing what she just said, Sandra silently bursts into laughter. Despite the show having no content rating, this clip managed to air on TF1.
Several years after the original airing, the clip resurfaced online in the late 2000s by someone who is believed to have the episode on tape. This is the only clip that was able to surface from the entire episode, making it difficult to tell which contestant won.
