I once sat in on an interview where the interviewer asked the question - "Your team has dropped the ball, what do you do?". The response was "I'd go out and buy a new ball. Next." The interviewee also proceeded to describe how he found it difficult to communicate with the lower classes and proceeded to do a sub-Ali G style impression of one. He did not get the job.

When I was looking for a stop gap job while at university (many moons ago lol) I worked for a fast food chain, the interview questions seemed a little intense for flipping burgers. "What skills can you bring to the position?" What you want to say is.... "I believe I can look surly, speak in grunts and have a glassy look in my eyes" "Where do you see yourself in this company in five years?" Again what you want to say is "If I am still working for this company in 5 years, please shoot me in the head and use my carcass for burger mince" "Are late shifts a problem?" What you want to say is...."Hey Im 19, I have no interest in a social life, and will probably never get a girlfriend anyway, owing to the amount of zits I will aquire working with and eating your product" "Can you work within a team?" What I want to say is "Sure! I can play ice hockey with the beef pattiesas well as anyone else.... and do it so as not to ruin the meat, so making it ready to be coked and served to a customer" As you can imagine, I was really into my job, lol.
