Funny 1980 Game Show Bloopers

Bloopers from 1980s game shows such as Super Password, Press Your Luck, and Sale of the Century

[@misteroldschoolguy]

Game shows have always been a great form of escapism. These bloopers make them more fun to watch.

[@ajfoss6108]

For those confused on the Card Sharks blooper, the host is Bob Eubanks, but the girl holding the contestant plug calls him Bill in reference to Bill Raferty who hosted the syndicated version of Card Sharks which ran at the same time as the CBS version hosted by Eubanks. I hope that clears everything up.

[@ochsj1971]

lol and the next clip is Bill Raferty hosting Blockbusters.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

and he called her Vanna in retaliation 🤣

[@nosajdabeno]

That episode of Press Your Luck must have been tough to get through for the host! 😂

[@gaffneyrailroading1982]

Love the loud "BANG" when the toaster hit the floor.

[@Bendigo1]

0:36 his face! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JoeyLamontagne]

2:24 the best clue ever for Joan Collins

[@trfesok]

"Press Your Luck" looks like a real life version of SCTV's "Half Wits"!

[@gladfan1989]

3:02 - Boy, they just don't make slot machine pulls like they used to.

[@taurusnbr1]

To me, people seemed more innocent back then.

[@Konsker]

love bloopers

[@richardhernandez4490]

1:56: Bob Eubanks' payback remark to Lacey Pemberton. OUCH. LOL

[@paullarue2010]

Rare blooper situation.

[@miccal99]

That look from Jim Perry there is BEGGING to be a meme template

[@paullarue2010]

Lacey Pemberton got embarrassed!

[@RedfishCarolina]

[@bostonrailfan2427]

[@alexandarjelenic2880]

Is that Hal Johnson 1:21. I think so!

[@RedStrikerBeetleborg]

3:22 - if i keep still, they won't notice

[@paullarue2010]

Patrick Harrington fixed that toaster.

[@MrShortWhiteGuy]

That was a trick question at the end. Peter sounds like he is saying clavicle (which is your collar bone). He is saying clavichord.

[@keithwilson6060]

But he still said clavichord. They just stopped listening after the first 2 syllables.

[@deaconjacob2283]

I know Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to stream new tv shows online ?

[@kaisondamon1461]

@Deacon Jacob I would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it :)

[@owenryland2359]

@Kaison Damon yea, I've been using Flixzone for since march myself :D

[@deaconjacob2283]

@Kaison Damon Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!!

[@MichelJosephCardin]

I'm not sure of my pointing out this is best judgment; but if you observe the host's lips at 1:45; they are moving in the same mabber as what Vanna is excapating as to being that in which he was aware of the advanced planed coached blooper sequence.

[@DavidBlain4377]

I didnt know they had another version of Blockbusters.

[@bluebear1985]

It only lasted a few months in 1987. Actually, during its last couple of weeks on the air, it ran contestant plugs for its eventual replacement, "Classic Concentration".

[@armorybrunotjr.3204]

The original "Blockbusters" was hosted by Bill Cullen and ran on NBC between 1980-82.

[@gaffneyrailroading1982]

Fun Fact: the host of that rebooted Blockbusters was the "Bill" that Lacey was thinking of, Bill Rafferty. He also hosted a syndicated version of Card Sharks at the time as well that ran concurrent to the CBS version that Bob Eubanks hosted.

[@troybender1936]

Hal from body break ha

[@roaddjack2404]

waitasecond is that hal the fitness guy playing press your luck @1:25

[@bostonrailfan2427]

yes.

[@paullarue2010]

Jack Barry goofed!

[@davidfritz1331]

I loved Edie McClurg. She was great as Mrs. Poole on "Valerie". (Yes, "Valerie"--I refuse to refer to it as "The Hogan Family". Valerie Harper got royally screwed on that one--and the show went down the drain as well; her chemistry with Josh Taylor absolutely sizzled on-screen. R.I.P., Ms. Morganstern.)

[@christybradfield7812]

I agree about Valerie!

[@bostonrailfan2427]

she screwed herself, you don’t try to ruin your show by being a huge diva: there’s a reason her career tanked after bring fired!

[@CH-gr7tn]

At 3:08, how did they manage to continue the game with the wheel broken?

[@nextbarker2702]

Whatever happened to Summer after Sale went off the air in 1988?

[@VLoveTarot]

Love the clips here. Than you!!

[@tfgreenplanespotter9231]

2:25 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@danbarker4857]

@0:59, well, Jack Prison is poison to anybody.

[@nextbarker2702]

Believe it or not, Lacey is one of the.....contestant coordinators? on the Bachelor.

[@nextbarker2702]

@3:51 gheez, what the magic toaster that breakable?

Come on Vanna.

[@ky-gp4sz]

In the last clip isn’t a clavicle a bone and not a musical instrument? Its a shoulder bone.

[@BankTyper1210]

The question was "What is a claviCHORD," which is an early keyboard instrument.

[@jellyrewis]

I remember seeing the woman at 0:18 on both Letterman and Carson's NBC shows.

[@7heRedBaron]

jcollie719 She wasn’t much for music and rhythm. But she topped the erotic charts. She accomplished at least one standing ovation.

[@CHEFAJ]

You have a great memory as that was over 30 years ago!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqCqh4arfM2hqpI

[@diamonddog13]

She stole Bruce McGill's bit from Animal House.

[@rakuengrowlithe4654]

Wow. Perhaps a little audio balancing might be a good idea.

[@sarahh1511]

1:40 am I dumb, because i don't understand this one...

[@gaffneyrailroading1982]

The model called him by the wrong name. There were two versions of Card Sharks on at the time, a syndicated version hosted by Bill Rafferty, and the network version on CBS, hosted by Bob Eubanks, the guy here. She just got them mixed up. The Bill Rafferty in question appears in the next clip, hosting a different show.

[@arielg7000]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@erldagerl9826]

Some of these aren’t bloopers, they’re just wrong answers.

[@arielg7000]

😛😛😛😛🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@matthewturcotte5079]

In the first Press Your Luck clip, was that Body Break's Hal Johnson as a contestant?

[@Bluebirdfalling]

huh

[@ky-gp4sz]

huh

[@STUCATZOMARINE]

Matthew Turcotte I think so ! Where’s Joanne Macleod

[@ddt99]

I thought the same thing.

[@bluebear1985]

Looks like it. For those not familiar, I think the guy he's referring to appeared in a series of fitness bits on Canadian TV in the 90s and early 2000s.

[@Eggmanontheair]

lasted about 30 seconds and the shitty audio levels drove me away.

[@tyvulpintaur2732]

I don’t get the Card Sharks blooper

[@zolo49noname45]

I didn't notice at first either. The host's name is Bob Eubanks but she accidentally called him Bill.

[@jasonhammon3369]

At the time, there were two versions of “Card Sharks”, a daytime version hosted by Bob Eubanks, and a syndicated version hosted by Bill Rafferty. She called Bob Eubanks Bill.

[@danbarker4857]

What happened in that clip,was there was a nighttime CS after time hosted by Bill Rafferty, who had Lacey and Suzanne Williams as the dealers

[@tbone24100]

Yeah......Lacey got the hosts mixed up lol

[@MMB18abel]

Lacey had the same situation in the syndicated CARD SHARKS, when she referred to Bill as Bob. Bill jokes IT'S ONLY ONE STUPID MISTAKE!!!

[@JMFabiano]

Scrabble on TNN?

[@skippy1023]

Sale of the Century

[@riverbandit58]

1:43 what did she do that she cant believe she did?

[@seanrobbins6176]

She called Bob Eubanks, Bill. She's so gorgeous, who cares?

[@riverbandit58]

@@seanrobbins6176 lol...thanks! She said it so naturally I completely missed it.

[@bluebear1985]

For some reason she must have thought it was the nighttime show, which Bill Rafferty hosted. Seriously though, we all make mistakes.

[@Bluebirdfalling]

@@bluebear1985 Seriously though.

[@scottgarvin4525]

In the continuation of that scene, not shown here, Bob explains that Lacey was reading off a cue card that said "Bill" on it. Yes, the nighttime show was running concurrently.

[@TrevorHawes]

Still prefer the British ones

[@isakayogach4002]

Who is the host of "press your luck"? Is he Bob Saget?
