Not really anything we haven't seen before, though a few originate from outside the US and may be less well know even here. Also, many aren't even clips, just descriptions. Still fun, and of course fun to pick apart starting...

Rod Roddy announcing the Yolanda clip? Oy.

I was in the director's booth when this episode was shot. There was discussion on whether to edit that out or not.

The decision was made to leave it as is which surprised me.

Which they've already corrected.

I hate slideshow lists.

So take the top clips from the game show blooper specials and add some modern ones.

From viewing this article and the "Bananas" specials, one would think that "The Price Is Right," "Wheel of Fortune," "The Newlywed Game," and "Jeopardy!" were the only game shows ever on television.

Family Feud, too, don't forget. Oh, those wacky families.

Can't believe I forgot "Family Feud"! As I might have said in another thread once, they should have called the specials "Family Feud Moments Gone Bananas."

Speaking of Family Feud, no "September"? Maybe they thought it wasn't really a blooper.

I take about 0.25 percent credit for the "cigar" lady on Password Plus, because I pushed that clip when The Most Outrageous Game Show Moments was being compiled. That was also the episode where Allen asked her "You wanna do it?" to her -- only after seeing her horrified reaction did he add, "Play Password?" It was the first episode, so everybody was a little rusty.

Also, I'm pretty sure the incident of the model driving through the doors on Price actually came from last year's April Fools special.

I'd hate to be "that guy," but it doesn't hurt to do at least five minutes of research instead of excreting out a list like this.

I give the writers some credit...they did go for the seemingly obvious choices ("In the ass", "Snake Charmer", etc.), but actually threw in a few that I'd never heard about. The NBC special was probably the best one being it actually used some rarer shows and not just 95% "Newlywed" and "Family Feud" answers.

The Lucky Seven clip is definitely from the April Fool's "10,000th episode".

I find it amazing how trumped up so many of the "outrageous moments" featured on the specials in the early 2000s were. Almost all of them had additional canned laughter over them, and one of the moments from Jeopardy ("Eight inches on my honeymoon") was even spliced together.

At least none of the specials have shown that fake CLAM _IGGER incident from Wheel of Fortune. I can't believe how many people can't tell that's a fake.

If they want racy Wheel clips, there are a few non-doctored choices:

* Twice, they've had VICTORIA'S SECRET RECIPE as a puzzle. Both times, Pat joked that it required "two cups of sugar".
* "Show me something small" from last January (incidentally, this episode also had Pat do the "two cups" joke)
* The old lady who called a W when SCR__ was showing on a Slang puzzle (it was SCRAM)
* 1989: _AR_EC_E S_IT is showing. Contestant calls an H.

Only a 13 year old would find the mere mention of Victoria's Secret "racy".
