WOF: The Quickest Solve Ever!

This 12/1/09 episode of Wheel of Fortune made me surprise, not only it the quickest Jackpot win ever, it the quickest puzzle solved I ever seen, with only two letters in the puzzle(this is before Caitlin Burke).

[@shoogamoogaman]

I was so excited to hear the rest of this. I thought every other clip was cutting him off for comedic effect. But no that's actually just what he said...

[@BigB_16]

Same here😂

[@boredwithadhd]

I think he was trying to do a scooby doo voice and failed miserably

[@allrequiredfields]

I'm sort of marvelling at learning that strategically cutting some shit off can somehow make it ten times funnier - and we've really got no idea why.

[@theblurryblackcat]

And no one on the show said anything about it. They didn't even bat an eye. I'm so confused.

[@theblurryblackcat]

@@allrequiredfields It has to do with the fact that humor is all about subverting your expectations. When a video cuts off right after the funniest moment, especially if the punchline was already kind of unexpected, your brain can't process what happened, making it even funnier.

[@MarioDragon]

I don't remember that noise ever being in any Scooby-doo episode I watched, and I have probably watched every single one of them

I wouldnt have known how to react to his scooby doo impression because I would have thought he was having a stroke...

[@Fijster]

I went to a taping of WoF once and during the time before the cameras started recording, they had a person out there training the contestants how to act during the show, including how to spin, clapping during the spins, and always smiling and congratulating each other and stuff. It was interesting to see. The set also looked a lot smaller than on TV. They did I think 3 shows worth of shooting that one night.

[@jamesanthonygreen4180]

That was an awesome puzzle solve. However, I would've just stared in bewilderment (as opposed to clapping) for that Scooby Doo impression attempt.

[@Werewolphe]

Hyphens and Apostrophes can easily give away puzzles after just one letter because of how few words actually use them...

[@illm4tic20]

[@JaceTan-90]

After they ruled out the letter N, "man" was ruled out as the hyphenated suffix. The S just made it certain.

[@Bluebomb]

Thanks for uploading this. Amazing solve by Scott!

[@CycloneGU]

This has more recently been topped by the puzzle, "I HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS". One missed letter by the middle player, blue player gets an L, and solves it. Turned out to be a prize puzzle, too.

[@TheArborphiliac]

I hadn't seen the answer before I solved it. You're right about the spotlight, that's added pressure, but you also have to consider that they get to stare at the puzzle as long as they want, not just as long as the camera focuses on it like us at home.

[@mattsneed4569]

Reminds me of the time that a person solved "To Be Or Not To Be That Is The Question" with just one letter many years ago when they had the old letter board and Pat had to help Vanna turn the letters.

[@Dustinwheeeee]

I'm sure i'm not the only one who figured it out the instant i saw the ampersand and the dash. There are plenty of people who would've solved it without spinning :D

[@Kindren]

Didn't even need a letter. I can't think of any fictional character duo that has a hyphen in one of their names aside from Shaggy and Scooby-Doo.

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

Kindren -- Sylvester and Tweety-Pie.

[@Kindren]

Sylvester is obviously too long (3 letters too long), and I'm pretty sure Tweety Pie doesn't have a hyphen in the name. Also, I haven't heard Tweety referred to as Tweety Pie in like 25 years!

+Justinhulk Not sure why you would find the need to point that out, but you do realize the man had the last turn and did it in his first play after the women failing in their turn, right? The same way that woman did it. They both got a correct letter, and solved it right after.
