I'm With Stupid #157 - Game Show edition

QuikSand · 05-20-2008, 04:29 AM

Here we pay tribute to an American pastime, the television game show.

1. You want to demonstrate what we mean by "game show" to someone who knows nothing at all of American culture. You may show one episode of one show. What show do you select?

2. Name someone who is best known as a game show host.

3. Name someone who is not known as a game show host, but who you think will be hosting a game show ten years from now.

4. What game show, past or present, do you think would be the most fun (not necessarily the most profitable) to participate on as a contestant?

5. Name something, other than cash or a car, that is commonly used as a sort of "grand prize" for a game show.

6. You're sitting down with a half hour to kill, and you turn to the Game Show network. What "vintage" game show do you hope they are showing?

PM your answers to me. Deadline is Saturday morning, or thereabouts.

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s widely revered and most truly beloved founding fathers.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Yes, that means they will be multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins.

No collaborating in any way. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and inarguable. Whining or otherwise making a nuisance of yourself gives me license to reduce your score to zero, and make fun of you and/or your loved ones in public.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "Name a type of bird " and you and four other people responded "parakeet," you each get five points, period, even if it is not technically phrased in the form of a question.

And finally, the contest overlord will not stand for any debate over my singular and final decision over what answers are to be grouped together, or on any other issues involving judgment. Any decisions rendered, either explicitly or implicitly, in administering this game are final, correct by definition, and not subject to appeal, question, or condescension - and by playing you agree to these terms in full.

I know this isn't exactly ethical...but I'm announcing it to the world: my vote for #3 was Pumpy Tudors. It's a lock.
