Anyone remember Animaniacs? It had this segment which, as the title suggests, featured a good idea and a bad idea. Let's see if we can do some Knightmare ones.

Good Idea: Growing a beard to look like Treguard.
Bad Idea: Growing a head to look like Festus.

Good idea: having a drink with Brother Mace.
Bad idea: having a drink with Sylvester Hands.

Good idea: offering Brother Strange a proverb for a spyglass.
Bad idea: offering Julius Scaramonger a proberb for a spyglass.

Good idea: blasting a goblin with a fireball.
Bad idea: blasting a paladin with a fireball.

Good idea: side-stepping to the right...

Good idea: getting spell lessons from Hordriss.
Bad idea: getting spell lessons from Sidriss!

Good Idea: Sitting still for a while to 'take a load off'....

Bad Idea: standing still in the CoB for a while, It'll take a leg off!

Animaniacs was fantastic!

Good idea:getting stuck in a lift with Gwendoline
Bad idea: getting stuck in a lift with Merlin

Good idea: Asking Lilleth for information and passage
Bad idea: Asking Lilleth "Why all the make-up? Do you realise you look like about 40 years older?"

Good Idea: Following Treguards Warnings

Bad Idea: Thinking You Are Oh-So Smart And Ignoring Treguards Warnings About The Immenet Pit Of Death

And the team who also ignored Treguard in series 5, when they were told to take an arrow ("no Pickle, not a weapon, more like a token,") then they don't take it, take the poison, and have a weird idea about trying to hide a knife.

Good idea for Simons team: "Walk forward"

Bad idea for the same team: "Side step to the left."

Simons team was in series 4.

Good Idea : Riding Smirky
Bad Idea : Riding Ariadne
Even Better Idea : Riding Romahna!! Something about that 'Phantom of the Opera style mask. *Goes weak at the knees*

Good Idea: Taking two objects from the clue room
Bad Idea: Taking one/three objects from the clue room

Good idea: "Spellcasting, S-H-O-V-E-L."
Bad idea: "Spellcasting, S-P-A-D-E. Spellcasting, S-P-A-D-E. It's not working. Neil, say 'spade'..." *THWACK!*

Good idea: collecting the green energy plants in series 2.
Bad idea: attempting to chop them finely and sprinkle the pieces on mashed potato.

Good idea: talking to Mug, to convince him that he's not ugly.
Bad idea: getting Elita to do it instead.

Good idea: drinking something given to you by Brother Mace.
Bad idea: drinking something given to you by Mildread.

Good idea: flying on the back of Smirkenorff to reach Level 2.
Bad idea: flying on a magic carpet to see the King Of The Potato People, and beg for your freedom... and you're telling me you're completely sane? I think that calls for two hours of W.O.O.

Good Idea-Stopping to use a spell on the goblins

Bad Idea-Stopping to offer the goblins a present

Is the bad idea side-stepping to the OTHER right?

I think the "Good Idea" and ellipsis are quite sufficient.

Here's some that I've thought of:

Good idea: Challenging Cedric to a bout of riddles.
Bad idea: Challenging Cedric to a bout of fisticuffs.

(Series 5 Team 7)
Good idea: Attempting to get past a blocker with a password.
Bad idea: Attempting to get past a blocker with a causeway combination sequence.

(Series 7 Team 4)
Good idea: Crossing the Trial By Spikes using the squares.
Bad idea: Crossing the Trial By Spikes using steps.

(Series 8 Teams 6 & 7)
Good idea: Getting from Level 1 to Level 3 via Level 2.
Bad idea: Getting from Level 1 to Level 3 via the Corridor of Blades masquerading as a shortcut.

Good idea: Marta bends over and shows a hint of cleavage.
Bad idea: Mildread... *vomits*
Even worse idea: Ditto Mrs Grimwold... and we all know why!
