10 Memorable Game Show Moments

1. Super Password-It€™s Rude to Laugh

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEluznyHKek This clip manages to encapsulate nearly everything that can go wrong on a game show. Borrowing heavily from the €œinevitably funny words€ and €œoff the deep end€ tropes, with a good dose of off-the-wall responses, this clip from Super Password begins to go south after a contestant starts tittering when she receives the clue €œchicken€. Host Bert Convy€™s reaction is priceless. And at his point, the word €œdick€ hasn€™t even been uttered yet. Once it is, they all lose it. The clues to this round are vague until the very end, the judges are a bit too buzzer happy. The whole thing defies description, so just watch: For what it€™s worth, €œslangier€ can be found in modern dictionaries and means €œcontaining a lot of slang€.
