Top 10 Game Show Fails of All Time


girls tell me where specifically is the
weirdest place that you personally girls
have ever gotten the urge to make
whoopee
some people have won millions of dollars
by participating in game shows while
others have only one embarrassment and a
life of infamy is the weirdest location
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
game show fails of all time for this
list we’re looking at those moments
where game show contestants embarrassed
themselves or did something they
probably weren’t intending to do which
led to unexpected results regardless of
whether they won or not number 10
what does urban mean the newlywed game
Kathy
I don’t know what they mean we don’t
know the origins of the dumb blonde
stereotype but this contestant certainly
fits the bill
when asked if her new husband was more
urban or rural Kathy looked completely
dazed before admitting she was unsure
what either term meant heck he’s urban
he’s urban how long has he been that way
two months two months he’s been she
decided that her husband was urban and
to the delight of both the host and the
audience answered several questions
about her husband’s urban problem that
required the attention of a doctor did
the doctor give him anything for his
urban he gave me some baby
never not fastest finger fail Who Wants
to Be a Millionaire
any of our contestants got that wrong
don’t let them give you a lift home
before you’re given the chance to win a
million dollars you first have to win
the fastest finger round at least that’s
how it’s supposed to work things didn’t
quite go according to plan in this
episode of millionaire however when none
of the ten contestants was able to put
the traffic light sequence in order
according to the British Highway Code
all these hilly drives how many hosts
Chris Tarrant even stressed that this
was common knowledge that everyone
should have known right before he
realized much to his amusement that none
of the contestants had actually answered
the question correctly
not especially
number eight immoral pleasure-seeker
jeopardy Roman numeral 1604 the pilot
who was times first man of the year Ken
what is 150 yes for Charles Lindbergh
Ken Jennings is arguably the greatest
game show contestant in history and is
best known for his winning streak on
Jeopardy where he won 74 straight times
29,000 is what you get today and it
brings your total to two million five
hundred twenty thousand seven hundred
dollars on route to another easy victory
Jennings was given a question asking for
a term that referred to both a gardening
tool and an immoral pleasure-seeker Ken
what’s a hoe No Jennings confidently but
incorrectly answered with the term hoe
which caused host Alex Trebek to
hilariously question his education teach
you that in school in Utah huh al what’s
a rake a rake is right the correct term
was actually rake tool Oh back with
double jeopardy number seven your
ding-a-ling family feud the fast money
round of family feud has given us some
classic responses as people say the very
first thing that pops into their heads
in an effort to get through all of the
questions in time name a place on your
body that a doctor might look in with
the little flashlight
but host Steve Harvey was only able to
ask one question however before he was
rendered speechless by the contestants
response when asked what men would say
is a part of their body that’s bigger
than it was when they were 16 this
contestant immediately responded with
your penis
Harvey’s reaction might even be better
than the actual response I said the
medical terminology what’d you say I
said ding ling vici any damn thing
good angle sound right number six first
question wrong
who wants to be a millionaire says it
loving you from coon Rapids Minnesota
what a great name do people when you say
it they don’t believe you were there
have been plenty of contestants on Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire who have made
fools of themselves such as the one who
thought the classic Denny’s breakfast
was named a slam dunk a slam dunk final
answer and then grand slam the for you
said but this one tops them all
contestant lovey you seemed ready to
play that is until she was given the
first question she does with owl
Harrison Milton Oh see final answer
she erroneously locked in owl when asked
which animal used an ink sack for
protection from predators before
immediately realizing that the correct
answer was actually squid number five
ten chances fail The Price is Right
he has done nothing he has done nothing
talk about an easy victory this entry
has less to do with the contestant and
more to do with the gameshow organizers
in the price of that shredder there are
two numbers using
Daniel has just won a shredder in this
game the contestant is given ten chances
to guess the prices of three prizes
normally they’re shown three digits and
have to use two for the first prize then
they’re shown four digits and have to
use three for the second prize and then
they’re shown five digits and need to
use all of them for the car Daniel how
do you like the way this game is go
I love it I have another do it thing
luckily for Daniel but to the annoyance
of Bob Barker the prices were already on
the board before he even had to guess
because the man who usually sets his
self is not with us today his wife is
having a baby number four snake charmer
catchphrase 290 Pines what do you think
it is sip the waiter would have thought
the occupation of charming snakes could
look so so wrong as the boxes disappear
from the screen during this episode of
catchphrase we see an animated banana in
a suit and top hat appearing to be
enjoying himself a little too much
five seconds here we go the contestants
host and audience can barely keep it
together as they try to continue the
game
things get out of control when we see
that there is also a snake involved good
luck getting that image out of your head
so snake Chama number three an animal
with three letters in its name family
feud something that comes with a summer
storm snow back to the family feud fast
money round they say the apple doesn’t
fall far from the tree
and this father-son duo certainly proves
that claim when asked to name an animal
with three letters in its name
Bob answers with frog when asked the
exact same question Bob’s father who is
also named Bob answers with alligator
prompting host richard dawson to ask if
he uses narcotics no but I thought solve
was bad
the pair’s somehow managed to win four
hundred and fifteen dollars
despite younger Bob thinking that snow
comes with a summer storm please watch
us tomorrow and see if he has the nerve
to show up again will ya
we love you we’ll see here on the same
with you number two

when asked to name the European country

a country Budapest but ironheart of that

her mind because they speak French there
