WTF?!

I haven't watched Family Feud in a long time, but I was on the treadmill the other day and looked over at the television screen next to me and this weirdness came on. The Family Feud celebrity look-alike edition? I guess it's easier to get these Z-listers to come on than to get real families to participate!

D'oh! Game Show Moments

When the clock is ticking and the cameras are rolling, the pressure to think quickly can make a contestant give the darndest answer, reveal a dirty little secret, or altogether blank out- on her husband's name. The following game show moments are so funny, "I think I'll have to take a P," Chuck. Har, har, har! If you're in the mood for more, click here.

Family Feud Lives Up To Its Name

Our friends over at Best Week Ever have a knack for finding and immortalizing the most awkward moments on daytime television. Take this clip from a recent "Family Feud" episode. A contestant is asked "What do you hit when it's not working?" Anytime a player's answer needs a disclaimer ("Well I don't do this, but..."), you know it's gonna be a doozy.

More Game Show Hilarity

We've already established that game show contestants say the darndest things and they also say the dumbest things-- so combine the two, and that's when the topic of one's "lucky bra" comes into play...

It's not so much the game or the competitive spirit involved, it's the candid answers that make televised game shows so worthwhile to watch--especially when those answers hit a little too close to DUMB. Word to the Wise: If you make a habit of stealing lamps from hotel rooms, do yourself a favor and don't mention it on national TV! (Oh, and I heart Paul Lynde!)

Game Show Contestants Say The Darndest Things!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 11 May 2007 15:00:00 -0700

The clock is ticking, there are millions of viewers watching at home, and the pressure's on. So it completely baffles me how game show contestants feel comfortable enough to blurt out the first idiotic thing that comes to mind while on television-- as if they won't have to live this moment down for the rest of their lives! And no, a delicatessen is not a drug store. FYI.

Family Feud Gets Dirrty

Family Feud has provided a great deal of material for us lately. First, there was the NSFW "slip"-up and then there was the episode brought to us by the letter "A." Finally, we get to the actual family feuding. Let the games begin!

Family Feud Fools

Yet another proud display of American stupidity. Now I can think of a word to describe these people that begins with the letter "A"...

Family Feud Just Got NSFW

Her family may have won the game, but this woman won a day in the life of Janet Jackson. I guess there actually is a such thing as an unintended "wardrobe malfunction."

Want to Be Alone? Six Micronations Where That's Possible

I can't for the life of me remember which thread we started talking about Petoria (cabaker27? You were there. . . any ideas?) But! The universe was listening! I just came across this roundup of micronations, just like our good friend Peter turned his house into on The Family Guy.

Sealand: Is located about six miles from the coast of Suffolk, England in international waters. It has its own national anthem, flag, currency and passports.The heads of Sealand (formerly a WWII fort) call themselves the Prince and Princess of Sealand.
Kugelmugel: Perhaps the most like Petoria, Kugelmugel is located in Vienna and when an artist and Austrian authorities began feuding over building permits for his house. Independence was declared.

There's more, and they just get weirder. To see them, read more.

Principality of Seborga: This one's an oldie. Some say it goes back to 954, located in Italy. Through a whole series of overlooked sales and redistricting, the tiny nation was adrift. The head of this one is known as “Your Tremendousness” or “your Terrificness”. Sweet.
Elleore: On the east coast of Denmark, this island has its own stamps, coins, and time zone - 12 minutes ahead of Danish clocks.
The Kingdom of Lovely: Actually a flat in London, it was documented in a series called How to Start Your Own Country.
Talossa: This could be the strangest one. It seems to include a bedroom in Milwaukee, WI, a French Island, and part of Antarctica? This one you'll just have to read to believe.

I'm beyond fascinated and dreaming up names for my own sovereign land, though "end of the couch-ville" or "StairMaster-island" somehow aren't cutting it. What would you call yours? What kind of government would you set up?
