8 Times Video Games Stopped You Being A Jerk

1. Forfeit Money For Being Rude - You Don't Know Jack

The PC version of party game You Don't Know Jack had quite the costly surprise in store for any players with a desire to be needlessly vulgar during a round of Anagram or Gibberish Questions, where they're tasked with typing in an answer.

Players who simply type "F**k you" will be met with a hilariously pissed off response from the host, who will not only admonish their base behaviour but also take a ludicrous amount of money away from their current prize kitty, as much as $150,000.

If you've got a few pals in on the joke too, it gets even better - if a second player also says "f**k you," the host will mock their lack of originality but actually not penalise them financially.

And if a third player goes for the lewd hattrick, the host will decide he's had enough, announcing that he has control of your computer before instantly shutting the game down and sending you back to your desktop. Incredible.
