[@Frankie-O]

The whammies? I hate.

[@savedbyjesusblood]

Once in a blue moon there'd be a contestant I would want to win. I remember in the Australian version if you won 5 nights in a row you would win a car. Only two contestants ever won five games. A couple of others made it to the fifth and still lost. Barely anyone made it to the forth game. The first lady that won it was so nerve wracking watching her in the fifth game. It was the first time that I didn't want to see a whammy (not for her anyway. I did want the other contestants to get them so she would win.)

[@briansetpente1019]

Loved it when the whammy took the contestants money😃

[@cdjsteve]

That one guy and Lady lost 31,000... I don't know if I could sleep after that. The right you are we all wanted to see the whammy

[@andrewguerra9343]

Whammy should get his own film. It’s a love story with heart, emotion, and whammys!

[@TomCurtis-t2r]

Best thing about growing up in the 80s and staying home from school, was seeing contestants getting humiliated by the whammy. My mom used to get so frustrated with the contestants getting so greedy and ends up leaving with nothing. I loved the reboot it brought back memories of my childhood, now my children enjoys watching and says no whammies!!! lol.

[@kevingembel5767]

My favorite was always the Bluegrass band at 5:10! It always brought a smile to my face

[@thrashmetalfiend]

Why do I enjoy watching this so much?

[@Frankie-O]

I enjoy the classic version with Peter Tomarken and current version with Elizabeth Banks.

[@dwightcorbett8889]

I admit it, I actually watched this show just for the whammies, some of them were very creative and downright hilarious.

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

My favorite one is "All I hear is 'Big bucks, big bucks.' I got your big buck!" I like how the Whammy in that case not only steals the contestant's money but also mocks them! There's also another one that wasn't shown in this video where the Whammy is bowling, and he says "I'm bowling for bucks, and it's a strike!" Then the bowling ball reappears behind the Whammy and he says "Uh-oh..." and the ball runs him over.

[@somerandomgameranimator4481]

I kinda liked that whammy, I watch that whammy animation with my best friend at my school!

[@lisacogar1490]

Should they use them in the 2019 version

"Who would ever hurt a whammy?" at 5:43 was always my favorite as a kid. Sorry lady, hahaha.

[@dwightcorbett8889]

Ha ha, that was my favorite one also.

[@colleen4ever]

I loved the Supremes one. "All I need is cash! Give me all your money! Give back the money!"

[@SupermarketSweep777]

The funny thing is the Whammies can sing better than most modern "singers".

[@woffandaniel]

By "modern singers", do you mean someone like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, The Wanted, or even Katy Perry?

[@SupermarketSweep777]

Daniel Monahan Exactly

[@woffandaniel]

[@gokaury]

I love Peter Tomarken's reaction when Robert loses it all. Other than the Whammies and the contestants' reactions, Peter made the show what it was.

[@jonathanfleming5831]

I have to find out what episode that was

[@coolnut99]

And you wonder why the show lasted only three seasons -- it was utterly insulting to the audience when someone loses TENS of thousands of dollars over something stupid like that. The fact that this created champions several times with ZERO DOLLARS didn't help. In short, Peter Tomarken was great and the Whammies were fun to watch, but it was just too sadistic to enjoy overall. It was vindicated by cable, though. :)

[@chuckschillingvideos]

@@coolnut99 That's idiotic. That's the thing that separated the show from all the other lamebrain game shows over the years. It's also the reason so many people identified with the show - because it inserted the key element of reality and negative outcomes - something that most people encounter at least occasionally in their daily lives. What I would suggest is insulting to the audience (particularly the audience's intelligence) is when EVERYONE goes home a winner.

[@gbtrat]

My favorite whammy was the barbershop band! I loved that! Any of the whammys that were special if you got 4 of them
