Here's the story:  http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/08/14/pauley-perrette-calls-out-family-feud-for-being-filthy-and-loaded-with-sex-questions.html

Thoughts?  From what I've seen of it, I can't even make out what some of the Q and A's mean.

She has a point, one that's been echoed here numerous times. The show has tried too hard for years with the loaded questions and idiotic survey euphemisms.

But, it gets them ratings and now social media numbers, which is also important. So the dirty humor is prolly not going anywhere no time soon.

I just thought it was better when the outrageous answers came in response to perfectly innocuous questions, rather than questions that are obviously fishing.

I have no problem with the loaded questions. My problem lies with the writers and their inclination to come up with immature synonyms for innocuous things.

For example, on Harvey Feud, there might be a question (maybe there was, I'm making this up) "Name something about your husband that you wish was smaller" and the contestant said STOMACH, it might be phrased as "His flabby hanging stomach"... it's not funny.

Precisely.

Adding on to these points, I'd love for them to stop with the PRIMARY ANSWER/UNRELATED BUT RELATED ANSWER. One question was something along the lines of "Name something that's beefy." Instead of simply PEOPLE or YOUR BODY, it was PEOPLE/BRIAN DENNEHY. I have a hard time believing even one person wrote Brian Dennehy on their paper.

Also...is it just me, or does this version separate answers that could be lumped into one answer. For example, instead of lumping "Brother" and "Sister" into "Siblings", they make them two different answers. Same for "Mother" and "Father", etc.

That's not even that bad. Question from this past week was a survey of 100 men and they were to "Name something a man might be embarrassed to buy in a smaller size." Of course, condom was on this list, which is a perfectly valid answer and honestly, not that risque of an answer. But instead of just putting "Condom" up on the board, they came up with "Woody Hoody", and I'm sitting stunned, more angry that they used some BS euphemism that I've never heard anyone use in my life rather than the innuendo itself.

I seem to recall a question a few years ago about a bathroom and the revealed answer was “Hershey squirts”

[Sodboy13]

This is the bigger problem for me, too. It's not enough for them to lean into the innuendo with the questions, they have to slap it up in print in the most over-the-top way possible. Because if the contestant isn't being outrageous enough to get Steve Harvey to make his face, putting "MY SILLY SIX-INCH" on the board will give him the excuse. It's akin to when Match Game '98 decided to add categories to telegraph the jokes. You're making everything less funny this way, and I say this as a someone who gladly wallows in filth.

Turns out it's listed on Urban Dictionary and has been since 2013...and honestly, I'm not surprised at that.

That's why I liked Combs Feud. The questions were wholesome and I thought he was a great host.

I can't believe they didn't get a phone call from a lawyer over that one.
