Our Deal or No Deal fully embraced it's awfulness instead of trying to disguise it in a flurry of gold and dancing girls.

[@mancuniangamecat8288]

Deal or No Deal originally aired on Channel 4 in 2005 with Noel Edmonds as presenter, and ran for an impressive 11 years - and more than 3,000 episodes American deal or no deal wasn't a patch on the UK version.

The Chase is actually several different "chasers" and yes, they are all extremely smart. You must have watched episodes with big guy Mark Labbett (The Beast) with an IQ of 155, but we have Paul Sinha (a Doctor), Shawn Wallace (a barrister), Anne Hagerty (one of the top lady quiz brains in UK) and others who are all extremely clever.

[@johnp8131]

Doesn't Paul Sinha do "stand up" as well?

[@philjones45]

I think there's an American version of the Chase with just Mark Labbet. Has someone explained that Fanny is slang for vagina, equivalent to pussy. Most British women, as slang goes much prefer fanny. Women here may actually refer to their private parts as fanny. Pussy is only used in porn. I remember asking my wife to talk dirty, which she was happy to do, but couldn't bring herself to say pussy. It's very demeaning isn't it.

[@sharonmartin4036]

Deal or no Deal UK doesn't have suitcase girls, thank goodness! The contestants choose a box number at random and it remains with them throughout the game while they open boxes held by the other 21 contestants until they either "Deal" with the banker, or go to the end and get whatever is in their box. These boxes are re-used each week with different random values in them each time. They are "sealed" with a strip of removable (and replaceable) tape. We don't need shiny suitcases and leggy models to have fun in a gameshow.

A golden turd is still a turd. Honestly, I'd see having 20 models just standing there to look good for the entire show as a major point of the show as kinda latently sexist. Something I'd expect out of Europe in the 70s or 80s but not now.

How to play count down… Pick 9 random letters from the vowel box and or the consonants box. Then simply try and find the longest word can, using those 9 letters. The longer the word. The more points you receive. 😊

The "Fanny Schmelar" one is so funny, u should watch the full version, the game host realizes it sounds like "Fanny smeller" and just can¨t hold the laughter 😂

[@cheryla7480]

The reason they were losing it over the woman’s name “Fanny “ is that in North America that word means “ bum “ . In the UK it refers to female private parts.

[@SeeJay81]

"Do you have deal or no deal?" It's a UK show. And instead of paying models like Megan Markle, it was future contestants that held the "cases"/boxes. Sorry but the UK version is so much better than the US version. They literally pick people based on how friendly they were in the green room during tea time, and it adds to the drama so frickin hard.

[@jiggyprawn]

It's a Dutch show. The UK just paid to use the format. Later the US.

[@DJDoena]

I love Countdown, especially in the comedy version "8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown".

[@spfisterer3651]

Yes, please react to "would I lie to you" or "8 out of 10 cats countdown"... Both are super entertaining

[@christinestromberg4057]

Countdown is in fact shown in the afternoon and is famously watched by retired adults. Although I believe a lot of students also love it. There is a nighttime spin off called 8 out of 10 Cats doe Countdown which is more about comedy and pretty racey. You're right. but what is more important? Healthcare or tv shows?

[@kevbruce9191]

8 out of 10 cats is probably the funniest game show in history 🤣 definitely worth watching 👀

[@pikachuchujelly7628]

I can't believe we never got Countdown in the US. We did get The Chase, even though it's one of the weaker game shows, IMO.

[@benzytv]

Low budgets are why so much of British TV and film is so good. You have to make the most of what you have... and we do.

[@neilmcdonald9164]

Uk The Chase has 6 chasers in rotation and always had at least 2.Thats Anne Hegerty aka The Governess,you're thinking Msrk Labatt aka the Beast who's also appeared on both the USA abd Aussue versions🎩

[@Jamie_D]

The chase is the same thing you are thinking of, but there are multiple Chasers (professional quizzers)

[@maggieellison1017]

Oh dear. You may be surprised to hear we have more than one clever Chaser and Countdown that showed rude words was, as the video implied, bloopers. Not every word is rude or has an innuendo. Contestants chose consonants and vowels at random and then have yo find a word from those letters. The longest correct word, which is checked in the ductionary, wins.

[@debbee0867]

The turkey guy's name is Bob, he was my Aunt's uncle. He had a brain freeze. Not my side of the family I have to say 😂I only met him a couple of times.

[@SweetLotusDreams]

In the Chase there are about 6 different Chasers so you will see different faces up there. I went to see several recordings of Deal or No Deal back in the day and yes, the production was fairly basic but the charm of the show was the way Noel Edmonds brought out the story of the contestants and he was very good at that. I even appeared on the show very briefly myself once and spoke to Noel Edmonds during the filming as a member of the audience.

Other countries have their own version of the chase also with their own chasers. Here they talked about the UK version.

You really ought to try a few game shows , the ones shown were from the regular afternoon Countdown , a show that's been running since the channel started in the 80's and is a pensioners favourite . There is indeed a late night version , a fusion with 8 out of 10 cats , a late night panel game played by comedians . It's shot using the same set and Susie and Rachael who are the words and numbers experts on the main show and loosely follows the game - it's hilarious . The time you've spent reacting to videos about British and American words Fanny Chmeller should be obvious .

[@Lily-Bravo]

I think I am living my life backwards. When I was young Countdown was a favourite show. I also was a fan of Radio 4 the library and classical music. Now I am 70 I work with robots. wear Doc Martens, and prefer heavy metal.

Family Feud predates Family Fortunes by five years. Apparently the title was changed because the host Bob Monkhouse thought ,'Feud' was too aggressive.

[@VinMar-m6w]

That's like the _Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles._ In the UK, it was changed to _Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles,_ because they thought that 'ninja' evoked violence.

[@gaborcsuzdi7006]

In Countdown there are 9 random letters, and then the two contestants have 30 seconds to find the longest word they can, using those letters (each of them only once). The longer the word the more points it's worth - but it has to be in the dictionary, so no gibberish words are accepted. There are also numbers rounds where you have 6 numbers (Chosen randomly from a stack of cards that have 1 to 10 twice each and then 25, 50, 75, 100), the computer then generates a 3-digit target number and then you have to get as close as you can to that target number, using the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and the 6 randomly chossen numbers. It's originally a french show still on air since 1965 (letters-only), and the numbers game was added in 1972. Here is a special show of it, set up to prank the host, apart from him pretty much everyone else was in on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYavg5SQnpmDjqs

[@ozfroggirl9221]

Countdown is great and there's a lot of opportunity for comedy in the letters segment as you never know what words are going to be found.

[@UranusMcVitieFish-yd7oq]

Deal Or No Deal is a British show. A modest budget one on a middling channel at that. You imported it from us. I think it ended over here about 6 or 7 years ago. Countdown is pretty much the epitome of no pressure gentle afternoon TV quiz shows. The clips on her went to air simply because our regulators are a lot less strict about what can and can't be said during daytime TV..

[@PiersDJackson]

Ryan, probably already said, Eggheads is a team vs team program.. on one team is the resident experts - the Eggheads, the other are the challengers, each preliminary round is a 1 on 1 between them, and the challenger chooses the Egghead, however they can only pick one that hasn't been chosen already. The loser is eliminated from the final round, and one challenger doesn't play a preliminary round. Hence the panels with an extra on the screen behind, in the preliminary rounds the screen is the competing pair, in the final it's those eliminated watching on.

[@wolfie35p]

The chase question was...in what soprt does Fanny Chmeller compete. (smeller) like, smeller lol. Eggheads, the gameshow with the person on big screen behind his team, is so that they cannot give answers to each other. The max you could win in Deal or no Deal in the UK was £250,000. In the UK version of The Chase, they have 6 different chasers.
