    Game Show Hilarious/Fail/Ownage Clips

    From the most recent football thread, think there's some TRACTION in this one.

    I loved Golden Balls, especially when someone stole the money. If we're ranking game shows by the amount of seethe they generated, it must be right at the top.

    I'm sure everyone has seen this because it gets posted every month on reddit, but it's brilliant



    I love that the other guy is so thick he doesn't realise what just happened, and seems to think the guy was just messing around with him or something.

    I think it makes more sense to choose steal. No matter what you choose, you have a 50/50 chance on taking some money or not at all. In one instance you either take half or zero, on the other one you take everything or zero. Might as well go for the big one. You also avoid being made to look like an idiot.

    My favourite lol game show moment is from an old episode of the American Family Fortunes. The question is 'during what month of a pregnancy does a woman begin to show?', or words to that effect. The woman answering calls upon her own experience as a pregnant woman and answers 'September', which basically finishes the show then and there because the host is absolutely helpless from laughing at her.

    I'll get a clip later when I'm on a computer, assuming someone else hasn't looked up and posted it by then.

    Always a personal favourite. The documentary was a bit boring but still, what a crafty fuck.

    His Wikipeda page is quite good:

    In November 1984, Larson learned about a local radio show promotion promising a $30,000 prize for matching a $1 bill's serial number with a random number read out on the air. Over several days, he withdrew his remaining winnings in $1 bills, examined each dollar, and (upon discovering that he did not have the winning number) re-deposited roughly half of the money. Larson left around $50,000 in his house, which was stolen in a burglary while he was attending a Christmas party. The case still remains unsolved to this day

    You know, I mixed up that story with the JR one when telling somebody about it. I thought it was "Jr.... as an answer...."



    "As an answer?"
    "Yes."
    "Yes, I see, good."

    Hadn't seen the Henrik Larsson one before:


    There's probably a thread in 'best catch-all footballer as a quiz answer." Hasselbaink or Anelka would probably be up there.

    If they go on to win under those circumstances the rest of the team should be allowed to cut them out of the pot entirely.

    Isn't this essentially what game theory is?

    I never realised Jasper's golden balls had this device in it. Did it predate Shafted?

    I'm sure there's a UK Family Fortunes one where the poor answeree just keeps saying 'beans' as an answer, but the internet is drawing a blank on it.

    The related videos for that one has gifted me this gem, which I think might actually be better as a low key stupid answer.

    That was the point, just as having Fleetwood Mac leading the resistance made it more realistic.

    It's Armstrong's hesitation after the answer that makes it.

    Armstrong would have been right at home on 90s TV. Having seen Philippa Forrester telling some kid on Robot Wars that his dad's a twat I watched some old Gladiators last weekend and saw Ulrika Jonsson mocking some contestant who got beasted by Nightshade. I bet Eunice wouldn't have let Collymore knock her about though.

    The best bit of that is at about 20s when you can see his mate absolutely seething.

    Slightly different but this is awkward:


    And then right at the end the guy gives it "I haven't!" Just let him have one, mate, you've won.

    This was from this week's episode. The bit where the crew is openly laughing at him is a bit good.

    He still ended up with £125k so fair play to him I guess.

    The Goldenballs and Millionaire win clips are about as good as gameshows get.

    This may have been posted and since died, but:

    When I was about 15 I got the answer on a numbers game that even Carol failed to get. Been living off that high ever since.

    Oh I'm not very good at all. Missing Vowels is comfortably my best round, the others I often have some of the information needed but don't put it together so it's extra satisfying when I do.

    I'm quite good at the connections one (round 1 I think) but the wall is a total write-off, it breaks my brain.

    The missing vowels round also seems a weirdly shit way to finish.

    I average about 80-100 points for the first round of uni challenge then I'm lucky to get anything once they up the difficulty.

    The first round you can do well with a broad, shallow knowledge of stuff, like I do well at classical music / jazz stuff cus it's rarely more obscure than, dunno, Dvorak, miles Davis etc. A long confusing mathematical question, answer is probably 1 or 0. And anything relating to a 19th C author it's probably dickens about 50% of the time. The being a jack of all trades who didn't go to private school catches up with me later.

    They still do way too much English literature 1850-1950 on that (though I guess this is what must still be taught at Oxbridge). I switch off for the science questions but do well on anything general knowledgey.

    You know a stupid answer is coming but it proves to be so much better than I expected.
