Game Show Contestants Say the Darndest Things!

GiggleSugar — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Remember the game show contestants who scored big thanks to dumb luck? Well, factor out the luck and all we had was a whole bunch of dumb - which is the case with the following vid. The contestants below were under cruel time constraints, so their thinking was probably rushed and compromised. But whatever. We'll still laugh, ridicule, and make fun of them anyway cuz Alabama is definitely not a city in the state of Georgia. If the contestant had a map, then maybe she'd know that fact. (Right, Miss Teen South Carolina?)

Radiohead's Thom Yorke Is a Freak

And I love him for it. This spectacularly talented and weird front man for Radiohead appeared on a game show in England and asked the panel a question about the band's most recent release, In Rainbows. He wanted to know what was special about it? You, Thom, you!

It Was Only a Matter of Time . . .

. . . before some teen dropped the f-bomb on Jeopardy! Clearly, this contestant should brush up on his Star Wars trivia with this girl. When he misses an easy question about Queen Amadala, he swears casually and quite audibly. Really, I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

The Price Is Right: Equal Opportunity Alien Employer

The Price Is Right is a sinking ship. I wonder how Bob Barker feels about this ridiculous showcase showdown storyline involving an overweight alien? If "E.L.T." really wanted to lose weight, she could just phone ~~home~~ Jenny. Ha.

Ultimate Tablecloth Swiping

Forget "Top Chef." Folks in Japan prefer a little more spin on the culinary game show concept. Who cares if contestants can cook-can they swipe a tablecloth without disturbing a diner's place setting? Priorities, people. As for the guy dressed in a bow tie and Speedo in the last thirty seconds of the vid, you'll see that he's not just a waiter. He's an entertainer, too.

Thanks, Japan Probe!

Japanese Gameshow Sums Up My Existence

GiggleSugar — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:00:00 -0700

I don't know whether to be relieved or frightened by the fact that I identify with this game show. The Japanese are known for coming up with wonky programming, but this is the stuff of reality. Time certainly has a way of kicking me in the ass each and every morning. And afternoon. And evening...

Extreme Baseball, Japan Style

Hey, they're just trying to keep the game fresh, you know what I'm saying?

Wheel Of Fortune Gets Almost NSFW

GiggleSugar — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 16:00:00 -0700

Uh...it's great to win a car and all, but does the woman's husband deserve to get jumped for it? And Pat Sajak's reaction to her public display of dry humping is priceless. Can I buy a "J" for jealous much?

Who Wants To Be A Dumbass?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 09:00:00 -0700

This is hard to believe. On a French episode of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" a contestant was asked something any second grader would know. By some simple twist of dumb, he couldn't select an answer. He polled the audience and they also were unsure. So what had everyone so stumped? Drum roll please...

Legends Of The Hidden Temple (Kinda)

GiggleSugar — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 02:00:00 -0700

Consider this the "remastered" cut of the lamest game show to ever air on TV. A couple of geniuses took an episode of "Legends Of The Hidden Temple," trimmed it down, added their own voices and commentary to it, and created seven minutes of absolute hilarity. (And if the redub isn't funny enough, check out the host, Kurt Fogg, and his long, sexy...socks.)
