Idiots on a game show always remind of 3-2-1 with Ted Rogers.

Yes you do. Somewhere on the Internet is the funniest Newlywed Game blooper ever, the one that the host swore for a decade was just an urban legend.

Is that the 'Where's the strangest place you've ever made whoopee?' clip? VERY entertaining.

That's always a good one.

My favorite game show story of all time, however,was confirmed as true by Groucho Marx himself. On his show "You Bet Your Life" he was fond of engaging in witty banter with the contestants.

One of them had an absurd number of kids. 15 or something. Groucho is shocked to hear this.

Her explanation: "Well, I love my husband very much".

His riposte: "Well I love my cigar, but I take it out of my mouth every once and a while".

Needless to say, the censors were not pleased.

Hey! No stealing. It's big enough to share.

Anywho, there were tons of game show bloopers lying around on YouTube, so I've been laughing my behind off aplenty now ^_^

Ha!

And, for good measure, HA!!

That's some original, funny stuff right there. Groucho Marx, your humour is badly missed...

He had the most epic last words, though.

His wife said something along the lines of "Please don't die" and he said "Die? Why that's the last thing I'll do!"

W.C. Fields had a pretty classy one, considering what a grump he was. He smiled, winked at his nurse, put a finger to his lips and passed away.

Never saw much of the Newlywed Game...actually, okay, I've never seen any of it, but I get the gist of the rules. Question is:

Is there anything stopping this strategy?

The newlyweds have 5 items, ordered, for the following categories: foods, locations, lengths of time, activities, specific locations, etc. When a question is asked, the next item on the relevant list is given.

I hate to burst your metaphorical bubble, but Snopes has a pretty detailed page on that particular incident and concludes that it is false. (http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/grouchocigar.asp)

Oh, I had heard that the legend was merely exaggerated, and that it happened back during the days of the radio program, and was censored, which would explain why there are no recordings. This (http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/380/did-groucho-marx-utter-a-famous-double-entendre-ad-lib-on-the-air) Straight Dope article seems to support that theory, but the Snopes one seems to dismiss it entirely.

Oh well, still a good story.

I like the other classic one from the Newlywed Game.

"What would you say is the appliance that uses the most electricity in your house?"

Actually, I'm not sure if I can safely put the response on here. Can I get a ruling on this?
