The great thing about this episode is that Gilbert sells the bluffs as honest answers and vice versa. That’s the key to being a great square.

[@pop5678eye]

And they missed several very easy questions... You'd start to think they did that on purpose by the end, just to hear 'You FOOL!'

Gilbert's last TV appearance before his death was on the Masked Singer, where he gave support to the Hydra. Who were unmasked to reveal Penn and Teller, seen here next to him and starting the whole "YOU FOOL!" joke that he escalated so beautifully.
