LearnedHand is a weird name for someone who just made that post

I used to have my dad record episodes of Nick Arcade but, man that video is hard to watch. Asking kids geography questions is a recipe for disaster.

So does that post make anyone else physically ill

It's not like I said that Marc Summers made me hot.

By the way, her name was Robin. Robin Marella, apparently. She was also on What Would You Do with Marc Summers. What a piece of crap that was. That was the end of her showbiz career.

As for Double Dare, I don't know about anyone else, but I regularly pleasured myself to that female stage hand whose name I can't remember. Jesus Christ, she was built. Even in that loose Double Dare t-shirt, you could see that she had some real jugs.

There are no words. Should have sent a poet.

LearnedHand is a great boon to the forum.

We had basically the same show in the UK. (The same as legends of the hidden temple.)

It was called Jungle run

I couldn't find any of the really old episodes.

Get your own back

What the fuck was up with the adults who went on this show. Seriously.



I have stumbled upon the tvtropes of uk game shows. God help me.

Wait are you people doing this bit where you try to get as collectively disgusted/offended/irked as possible?

I want to be cool too.

Masturbating to women on TV that you find attractive EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Edit: I never ever could understand how unremittingly shit those kids where in those game shows. Athletic ability and commitment zero.

I'll give a pass to Nick Arcade contestants, as even my childhood self could tell that the green screen games had absolutely shitty hit detection. But yeah, the other shows just had kids who were not ready to win.

edit: But there was no excuse for any point where the NA kids had to play actual video games. Good lord, were they embarrasing.

You seem to have a thing for taking up arms on the behalf of the strangest fruitcakes around.

I'm pleased as punch that this thread made it past post one.

I remember a girl winning on Guts maybe once or twice (presumably against boys with serious health problems) but generally guys dominated that show. It's just ridiculous to put 13/14 year old boys against 13/14 year old girls in a physical competition.

Also, Global Guts was a sad attempt to revitalise the format. Everything you love about Guts plus pointless jingoism. You know, I really like Guts but what would make this even better is if it had some stupid kid running around the studio wearing a big Israeli flag like a cape.

They also tried to shoehorn some kind of anti-communist message in there. The show took place in 1991, shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union. So they had some bright, shining kids from something called the "CIS" talking about how much they love their new freedom to buy useless crap.

The CIS wasn't even a country. In the little "medal table" (they were doing like an Olympics thing) they had two flags under "CIS". I don't know what those flags were. But anyway, there were at least five countries in the CIS at the time of filming. And yeah, the Commonwealth of Independent States is, and always has been, an economic confederation. Not a political entity. It would be like having a team from the European Union. Or a NAFTA team. Or a South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation team.

I guess the producers of Global Guts weren't clued up on this. I mean, CIS was formed shortly after the breakup of the Soviet Union so things were still new, but somebody should have done some research. Or just ask the kids themselves. Surely, they weren't saying "I'm from the Commonwealth of Independent States". They'd say, "I'm from Moldova" or whatever. It was a big deal these countries becoming independent of Russia.

I went on about this more than I wanted to, but the CIS team was ridiculous.
