Concept, 10; execution, 5. I'd show him giving the answers too. And wasn't there a game show skit on the Maya Rudolph Show that basically did the same thing, but with success like you're suggesting?
I was also hoping that the final category would have scored, like, 30 points on a total non-sequitur. (I think it was "people can be deeply in..." which I would have cracked up about).
Related (sort of): why do more survey-takers not screw with Family Feud by putting weird answers? I guess it ends up being statistically insignificant, but I'm curious if they ever end up with, like, 5 of the same odd answer. Okay, off to google "interview with the guy who takes the Family Feud surveys"...
BD is correct -- the # of answers on the board is determined by "how many had 2+ responses?" At least when Steve Harvey and his occasionally effed-up suits is hosting.
Do we need to discuss the superiority of other hosts to Harvey? Harvey makes the show all about himself, rather than the contestants and the survey answers.
I wouldn't mind as much if the questions weren't always seemingly designed to provoke "Steve Harvey reacts with shock to lady saying something vaguely off-color."
That said, wouldn't the joke have been funnier if one of the categories had randomly scored "1?"
ReplyDeleteYes. I was waiting for some bad pun on Hodor.

ReplyDeleteI don't know--I think it might be funnier if it were an utter non-sequitur. ("Name a kind of sandwich!" "Hodor!" (ding) "One point!")

Agreed. The last answer should have been 2 Hodors. I think the rules of the feud require at least 2 of 100 answers in the survey to count. (nitpick).
ReplyDeleteUsually it's "Top X answers on the board." (Usually that's 4-5.)

ReplyDeleteDisagreed: I'd rather watch a show about Steve Harvey reacting to middle America than the quiz part of the show.
