Why do they let old people on

Recommended Posts

I'd give that honor to Family Feud, myself, but Wheel is close. It's no wonder Ray Combs offed himself.

 

Interestingly, the single best player I've ever seen on Feud (and that's my favorite one) was a thirteen year old kid on the Dawson version. He got everything.

I have to think Trebek gets more. He's such a snobby dick. And Sajak will always be riding Vanna's coattails.

oh man, you're right. I've seen some clips of the best Family Feud answers where Richard Dawson just gives up and they have to stop the clock.

 

"Name the month where pregnant women most often start to show." "September"

"Name one of the three bears." "Yogi."

WOF gets dumber contestants.

 

Family Feud can be tough sometimes. Sometimes you don't know the topic. Sometimes they ask retarded questions.

 

WOF is always easy, as long as you can spell.

My favorite Feud exchange (this was on the opening buzzer):

 

"Name a question, such 'How old are you?', which a woman might answer with a lie."

 

Conestant one: "30"

 

He repeats the question, with emphasis.

 

Contestant two: "18"

 

Repeats question again, slowly, with more emphasis, goes to the next member of the family.

 

Contestant 3: "I'd say... 50."

"Name something to which you might lose your key."

"...what?!?"

"Name something to which you might lose your key!"

"uh..mm..WHAT?!? Pass"

"You have keys. Keys do things. If you lsoe them, you cannot use the thing the key is for."

"Car?"

 

part 2

 

"Name something to which you might lose your key."

"...what?!?"

Back in '01 when I first got GSN, I watched a Card Sharks marathon from the early 80's that featured Gene Rayburn, Alan Ludden, Bill Cullen and a young Alex Trebek as contestants.  Alex Trebek pre-Jeopardy was pretty damn amusing, as he was very sarcastic and playfully antagonistic to the host and fellow contestants.  A far cry from the smarmy Trebek we'd come to know.

 

And why the hell did he shave his moustache?  He looks so much better with it.

 

First John Oates, then Alex Trebek, then Jeff Kent... what's wrong with the moustache?!

 

Reminds me of when SCTV did College Quiz show sketch, with Eugene Levy playing Alex Trebek. He acted like a hot-headed jackass. This would of been late 70's. So I wonder if Trebek had a reputation of being a dick?

I hate how ridiculously vague the questions have become for the new version of the Feud. Like, they're so afraid of giving away money that you now have to be a fucking loon to correctly guess the top answer.

 

"Name a girl's name that starts with the letter K".

"Name a food that has nuts in it".

"Name a sport that's played with a ball".

 

"Survey says: 4. The top answer was Kristin...Kristin, yeah" and the contestant is like "Damn, I should've known that".

 

The fuck, man.

Yes it is.

 

GAS also features GUTS, which wasn't very exciting in itself but you can see Mike O'Malley before he became a tool on "Yes Dear"

Some ol lady named Mary Lou was just on TPIR playing "1 Right Price" . . . which one of these items are $1950? The popcorn popper or the couch? Ummmm, the popper. Is she right? No . . . *cue TPIR loser anthem*

 

Barker: Oh, that's too bad. And you said you love popcorn too. *Mary Lou walks away* . . . Mary Lou! Mary Lou!! Let's give her . . . Mary Lou . . . here's a box of popcorn *hands her popcorn*.

 

Gotta love Barker teasing her w/ the popper by just giving her a dinky box of popcorn.

 

And she follows it up by falling on her ass spinning the big wheel . . . 70 cents.

I laughed out load twice during yesterday's PIR. There was a redneck woman who was about to lose her game and kept yammering on about her students so she could avoid pulling out the losing coin. Then later she pulled a similar stunt between big wheel spins.

I attended a taping of GUTS when I was in middle school. During a break in taping, Moira Quirk could be seen listening a walkman and shaking her ass. My 13-year-old heart skipped a beat.

I always hated "Mo".

 

I wish I had the Agro Crag in my backyard.

Weird. They no longer tell you to send a SASE to "Tickets" at The Price is Right. They now direct you to the CBS website, and click on "COME ON DOWN!" But given how much of their audience is old and/or poor, that seems kind of odd to me.

@#$%

 

They're playing "Credit Card," a game where you have to buy three items out of an available five. Those three items cannot exceed $2000 total. Her first purchase? A FUCKING DAYBED. Come on. This show needs a god damn screening process.

A TV set (she purchased, a good buy at $600), some travel cooler (yeah...for like beer...CLEARLY a low priced item), and a couple other things I can't remember. I wasn't even paying that much attention, but I heard her say "THE BED!" and I knew trouble was afoot.

Well, they don't want to give shit away ALL the time

I suppose that's true. Maybe she WAS the result of the screening process.

 

Sweet Charlotte, the woman on stage is like 80. This oughta be good. I don't know why I watch this -- it HAS to be taking years off my life.

I've gotta think people just freeze up when they get up there...you have the audience shouting at them what they should bid, Barker's creepiness learing at them, they just go totally blank and make retarded decisions.

my grandmother watched this show religiously ever since it's inception...she died in 96 at age 68.

It's because they're fossils and their brains have long since stopped functioning. I hate old people so much.

Notice how I didn't mess up the word "they're" or "their." You all now have an example to follow. There/their/they're is just as bad as your/you're.
