So I was watching The Price is Right this morning, and a guy bid $650. The girl after him bid $649. I facepalmed immediately. Anyone else watch a game show and see someone epicly fail? I know there's a youtube clip (maybe a few) of a guy on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire not getting the first question right. On a side tangent, I wish Price is Right would amend its rules so a person can't bid one dollar over the next person's bid. Maybe put like a $25 or $50 cushion in.

These clips only serve to remind me how f***ing awesome Richard Dawson is. We need more game show hosts that openly mock stupid contestants (and mack on the female ones, of course).
Has anyone else seen the clip where Dawson asks some old bat to name a fruit that you eat the skin of, and she answered "banana"? Dawson brought the show to a screeching halt to get the woman a banana so she could eat it skin and all.

Actually, that is not bad strategy at all. A lot of items end in 9 in terms of the final number, so you could get the perfect bid on a 9. I hate people who see the --0, then bid --1. In this case you only give yourself one number to win with. You have to hit it on the head or you lose. One higher gives you a larger range of probability to win.

On the subject of game show Epic Fails. None comes any stronger or bigger than Sang on Scrabble.
This is a special extended version with his opponent in the front game and end game as well.

No epic fails here, but a video with a bunch of double entendres from the '50s show 'What's My Line'

Was it A _ _ R I C A N S A _ O A ? Cause, if not...then I'm confused. No, it was as I had it explained above. Since it was the opening game and the contestants weren't guessing letters (letters were being shown at random), there was one "M" revealed and just the E and M still hidden. I couldn't believe it. Ah, okay. I misread your post. Thanks. And now...another wrong Millionaire clip:

I just remembered one from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire where the lady says an elephant is bigger than the freakin' Moon.
Also, I would never bid one dollar under unless I knew in advance the price lol. Honestly it is possibly the worst move you could make otherwise. You are crippling yourself and it's terrible chance that you actually get it right. You should always go $1 over no matter how much of a dick it makes you. It's a game show, you play to win, not appease everyone lol.

I remember once on The Price is Right where one person bid a number (lets say 726 for the sake of argument), the next person bid one over, 727, and the next person bid one over that 728 and the person with 727 was exactly right.
At least, I think I remember that. I'm pretty sure it happened.

At least, I think I remember that. I'm pretty sure it happened. Yeah but it happened once. You would have to get pretty lucky for it to happen. Why not just go with the best choice and bid a dollar over. The guy that bid 728 was exactly right in his decision, but you can't win 'em all.

Speaking of Wheel of fortune, I remember watching one and the puzzle was something like
E_clusive Nightclub
And the contestant guessed an K.
Family feud had tons of these too "The september" and "alligator" ones are already posted but the one Where the guy answered Yogi for one of the three bears always gets me.
They are also a few good newlywed ones,
Name your favourile Amphibian. My wife!
And another one where I don't remember exactly how it goes is.
When was the last time you and your other did each other. The wife answered: "in her apartment" The man's card said: at a drive thru movie" and then he said "Oh wait! that wasn't you."
Even the host had this WTF reaction.

On some overseas version of Family Feud (may have been Family Fortunes), someone answered every single question in the Big Money round with "Turkey".
