Ways to make lameass game shows more interesting

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Ways to make lameass game shows more interesting

Post by anarky »

First: Wheel of Fortune.

Replace one "Bankrupt" each episode with "Gorilla Buttfuck." Because a dumbass losing their winnings isn't very exciting. If someone is unlucky enough to land on Gorilla Buttfuck, I bet you'll never in a million years guess what happens.

And, yes, it involves a gorilla.

On the Price is Right, make every game the mountain game and if you go over $1 on the wheel, Bob Barker kicks your ass.

Instead of a Daily Double, an occasional physical challenge on Jeopardy. Like someting off the old American Gladiator show.

Better yet, the physical challenges from Double Dare. Imagine a Jeopardy contestant sliding down a giant throat filled with rancid sour cream.

I had the misfortune of watching "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" and it makes me weep that people are this stupid.

The question pops up, I answer it within two seconds without really thinking about it, and then I have to watch for seven excruciating minutes as the dumbass on TV decides 2 1/2 yards is equal to 7 1/2 feet. Or actually, the stupid bitch answered 2 1/2 yards is equal to 384 ft because there are 87 ft in a yard. I shit you not. And these other fuckos didn't know that Mt. Everest was in the Himilayas, even though they gave them a fucking multiple choice. Andes, Alps or Himilayas. Well, the fucking Andes are in fucking South America, and the fucking Alps are in Europe. Ever heard of the Swiss Alps, douchenozzle? So by process of elimination, even if you didn't know which was what, you can figure out that a mountain in the middle of Asia probably isn't in South America or Europe, you fucktard.

They would never let me on this show. Why do stupid people get to win $300,000 and I don't? Now I'm being punished for being educated? God, I fucking hate everything. Fuck.

mediocrity has always been rewarded better than actual intellect. look at jeopardy and wheel of fortune - one where you have to actually know stuff, and one where you just need to guess the correct letters. which has the bigger prize winnings at the end?

on a related note though not a game-show, it's the same as all the "health" shows on that ONLY show morbidly obese people. that way people feel better about their own lazy fat asses because they can say "well, at least i'm able to get out of the chair on my THIRD try... that guy can't even get out of bed! i feel so much better about myself now. i'm'a go have some ice cream."
Life is short. STUNT IT!

The United States could do with a famine alright. The Pentagon should whip up some fake interstellar threat of alien invasion and every person gets drafted and forced into bootcamp because EVERY person needs to be in top physical shape to repel the invaders. I'd be down with that.

They should cancel that turd Deal or no Deal, but they probably won't. Barring that, they should get rid of Howie "Bobby's World" Mandel and have the girls wearing pasties and g-strings. I might tune in for that.

I hate people who actually think that stupid show is anything but a computer program calculating probabilities.

On both The Singing Bee and Don't Forget the Lyrics, they should only use songs with a lot of profanity.

Since Dancing with the Stars is so popular (is that a game show? it sucks like a game show), they should have a spinoff called Poledancing with the Stars. It could star washed-up but still hot actresses. As long as they don't actually go topless, this show could really air on ABC.

Change up Deal or No Deal. Keep the hot chicks in bikinis. Keep the premise, even. But replace Howie Mandel with old animated footage from Bobby's World.

More funny spaces on Wheel of Fortune. Some could be relatively innocent, like "switch places with the player to your left." Other spaces could be mined so they explode in the face of the poor sap who lands on them.

Tonight, I thought it might be funny to have the spaces on Wheel of Fortune shoot poison darts. If you dodge them, you get to pick a letter. If you don't, you're dead.

Add a "Trap Door" space to the wheel. If someone lands on that space, a trap door opens up and they end strapped to another wheel in the basement where celebrity guests throw daggers at them. First guest....Stevie Wonder.
