I remember watching Bumper Stumpers on the USA network when I was a kid it's brilliant and it should come back one day. 😀👍

[@paullarue2010]

This show was on USA Network.

[@Youtuber-xi6qo]

This was one of my favorite game shows! I would love to see it recreated in 2021💕💕

[@ThunderFist1978]

I remember watching this show on USA Network! The 80s were such a great time to be a game show fan.

[@jennyn5692]

Brings back memories of staying home sick in grade school and watching game shows all day.

[@Tiffmidon]

My dad talks about this show all the time so I looked it up. I wish they had something like this on the air today. I would watch the shit out of it.

[@canadiangirl85]

I know I thought so too...I think he first said "resisted", but he later said "resist it" at least once!

[@bbcsoundcrew]

i was dying when the guy was under the table looking for his name tag... i was like where did his partner go?? lol

[@jillbrown5827]

My mom and I watched it on USA network too. She watched it so she could watch me solve all the puzzles. She said I was good at it 😊

[@HawksWithRockets]

Host comes at me with that weak ass handshake I’ll slap it away.

[@bluebear1985]

This show was taped in Canada, so like many other shows of its day taped in Canada, of course it had cheap production values.

[@thejmacisgaming]

That handshake is gutless

[@drummingdanny84]

I like the color-coded license plates and the game play was quite smooth.

[@jhillst]

The contestant clearly said "Resist It" at 6:02. I don't know why the judges didn't give it to him.

[@Thor_92]

lol why wouldnt anyone not press the button right away, its not like they know what it says right away and they have 7 seconds to guess.

[@sexykitten0627]

I miss this game show :(

[@adirtydance]

The contestant Howard looks just like Mr. Boston from I Love New York!

[@FrankBoston]

I am Mr. Boston

[@FrankBoston]

I'm Mr.Boston

[@dft432]

I remember watching this on USA around 1987-90, the theme song is oh-so 80's (Ya know, I never knew this program, as well as the 1986-91 incarnation of "Chain Reaction" were all taped in Canada until I found out online about 10-12 years ago)

[@drewlazarou]

this is the reason i make words out of peoples license plates!!! lol

[@Nickle98499]

I posted this on Buzzer Blog, and i'll post it here too: this show, Chain Reaction and Jackpot would all be perfect for revivals on The Hub(maybe after a few years, and the channel gets a good foot hold). Basically the three shows I mentioned are pretty simple in their gameplay, and would definitely work as either purely kids shows, or having kid/adult teams a la the later years of Double Dare, or Family Game Night.

[@jhillst]

I always wondered what those pipes in the background were there for.

[@denelson83]

Wish we could hear that Ed Lojeski-penned theme tune in its entirety, in the clear, and in HQ.

[@Dodgerfn5]

The kind of microphone Al's wearing looks like it's from before 1985. Since this was 1988, you think he'd have a small black one like today.

[@Nickle98499]

@Nickle98499 Basically for Bumper Stumpers, if the Hub or anyone ever revived this show, they would need to get a stable bonus round format and a stable main game format, other then those things, this show is custom made for a Hub revival.

[@flclfan85]

I would love to find the full episode with former Barenaked Ladies lead singer Steven Page

[@ViddyOJames]

Wtf. He said it AT LEAST once (at the end) for RESSTIT and they didn't give it to him. wtf?

[@seanaudi13]

What is with those handshakes? Are you kidding me?

[@hopemoore]

I love how Canadians say "dollars" for some reason.

[@dennis8309]

Because you Americans say, dallers...lol

[@AaronBruceLadner]

Someone Needs to Upload the Premiere Episode from 1987.

[@paullarue2010]

"I Spy" was a cop show, that Bill Cosby was in.

[@HonestlyJustSomeGuy]

Fun show. My left ear feels left out, though.

[@markdoublea84]

Great game! Haven't seen it in a while since I saw it on USA Network.

[@chrismc410]

This was a big reason why Wink Martindale left Barry and Enright Productions and Tic Tac Dough. He produced and helped create this show

[@paullarue2010]

Reminds me of Tiffany.

[@schanderson]

After Bumper Stumpers

[@sexykitten0627]

The guy did say resist it. I would have said something about it.

[@mooche306]

44BWTHU...why did they have such a difficult time with that?

[@MrMatteNWk]

If the one on the right at 4:13 was "R8PST"...

[@jamaalgardner6659]

I feel ya. Looked like Rated X.

[@plateofshrimp]

4:50 Uh, pen-uh-four? Oh shit that was right?

[@bb3ca201]

pinnafore

[@ShadowBaofu]

Wasn't Al Dubois a weather reporter on The Weather Network way back when?

[@paullarue2010]

"Star Wars" reference.

[@646guy]

@smaqdaddy WEll it was a Canadian game show....

[@paullarue2010]

Thanks to Twentieth Century Fox.

[@paullarue2010]

Twentieth Century Fox and Disney, owns that successful series.

[@BigSCTVfan]

This game is difficult.

[@mrsmiawallace1979]

This is so funny to watch now as the puzzles are basically txt speak- they seem a lot easier to solve than they used to!

[@jursee33]

@seanaudi13 hahahah I noticed that, so not manly hahahaha

[@digiblader1]

GameTV just reached this part of the run. And boy, why did they have to cut the bonus round budget?

[@austinl169]

I know! When he started, "sixteen..." I thought $16,000. It was a bonus of sixteen HUNDRED dollars. Like their across the pond cousins in the UK, Canadian game shows were about entertainment, not getting rich.

[@GialloHorror]

Gotta admit, I would've killed these people at this game and I usually suck at this but I got every one in that round, and knew fork in the road after the K

[@Digitalhunny]

This show was horrible at picking up when the contestants actually said the plate correctly! 6:01 listen carefully to the tall guy, he says "Resisted" first & then "Resist it", HE won. It's the show that screwed up! "Resist it" is what NEEDS to be said.

[@jennyn5692]

That's what I thought, I was like, "What??? He said it!!"

[@smaqdaddy]

wtf with the gay handshake?
