Richard Dawson Laugh Attack - 1985 Family Feud

[tpir1972]

Oh, that;s right I forgot I havent seen the 1985 eps of FF in AGES, thanks to GSN.

[tpir1972]

I thought the WINNING gola was 300 why are they still playing.

[WREYtube]

@tpir1972 They had switched it to 400 the year before... :)

[cujospawn]

The answer was stupid. And funny. No need to overanalyze it. if you don't laugh at that ridiculous answer, you need to grow a sense of humor. That lady's answer was more hilarious than half the jokes I hear from comedians today.

[lennychurch]

It's not that stupid, it's totally possible to meet a stranger at, say, a party held by a mutual friend.

[WREYtube]

@lennychurch Perhaps, but if you all are discussing that mutual friend, its not a good thing... That answer was hilariously bad... :)

[mleverich1991]

@lennychurch Well that would be an exception, but if you were to randomly meet one on the street (which back in 1985 was most often the case), what would be the incredible odds that the two of you would have ANY mutual friends, and what would be the even more incredible odds that you could bring up said mutual friend's name to the stranger? Like WREYtube said, you have to think about it a while to realize how bad an answer it was.

[gspendlove]

That woman must've been mortified...and what a car ride home that family must've had!

[texasghost]

I think it's not the fact Richard was laughing at the contestant. But the fact...he was putting funny pieces together in his head with her answer that got him laughing histerically.

[Floymin]

The lady who said it looks like Delta Burke. I can just imagine Suzanne Sugarbaker making the same answer.

[7coco3]

" I don't think I have ever seen you before, how is Harry..." and than the laughter... love it!

[januari1670]

The answer the lady gave 'mutual friends'...thats etremely funny, and I am not drunk! LOL Richard Dawson...was the best game show host!!!!!

[JimCeri1]

I agree, he's smashed!

[mleverich1991]

I couldn't even hear the question... "Something you make conversation about when you need a ???"

[WREYtube]

@mleverich1991 - 'Name something you make conversation about when you meet a stranger'... It's definitely one of those answers that you have to think about for a minute to realize how bad it was... which was evident with Dawson's slow burn until he completely lost it!  :)

[litywinds]

@WREYtube The funniest answer I have heard is when Richard Dawson asks a woman " Name the month when a woman begins to show in her pregnancy?" and the woman answers, "September". It is here on youtube. I still luagh at the thought. But I am sure anyone can make that mistake because she was probably very nervous and all she heard was month and just guessed " September" hoping that she answered correctly.

[ainslieweir]

HOW DRUNK WAS HE?!!

[indianamerican10]

Game wasn't over.

[charlespeterwatson]

This makes his 'September' crack-up look tame.

[gameshowluvr86]

1:49 Sudden laughter EXPLOSION... x-D

[ApricotOfLove]

This just makes me think of how much of a DICK Steve Harvey is. God he is such a humourless ass.

[Gnillob802]

This is obviously before Facebook because everyday I'm told about some stranger who apparently shares several Friends with me.

[Shockwave474]

@Gnillob802 It reminded me of Facebook too. I didn't even know why it was so funny, but what can I say, his laughter is even contagious online. Also, because of Facebook, the contentant seemed somewhat psychic.

[Shockwave474]

PS Did I say contentant? I meant contestant.

[mrgameshow01]

@BoyneMaiden We could not hear his laugh in the "September" episode.

[mrgameshow01]

We FINALLY KNOW HOW HE LAUGHS!

[tpir1972]

I don't think any other game shows hosts laughed THIS HARD whn thy gave a stupid answe.

[tpir1972]

i think this is Richard had an even hardier laugh heard then the "SEPTEMBER" family

[tpir1972]

dOES ANYBody have the 1985 FF clip in which the question in the front game is NAME SOMETHING THAT A PASSENGER IN A CAB DOES THAT IS ANNOYING, and the answer given was TALK?

[tpir1972]

Is this th second time Richard lost his cool?

[Ivoryman1986]

WREYtube, is this from the Syndicated version or is it from the ABC Daytime version?

[WREYtube]

@Ivoryman1986 ABC Daytime... :)

[NEPatriot]

And to think September Born as I call that 1980 moment was funny! ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FiddleDeeDee2]

I just love him! LOL

[jamesffxl]

This was likely the last season of Richard's original run. You have to earn $400 to win the game, instead of $300. I saw this clip on the Family Feud web sight.

I am still waiting for someone to post the first 0 point Fast Money player.

[mefault]

I found myself laughing almost as hard as Richard!!

[NEPatriot]

@mefault ME TOO!!!!!!

[sportsguruisme]

And hey Richard, YouTube wasn't even around in 1985!

[Kinoakim]

I love how the laugh doesn't come right away but after he thought about it for a bit. LOL
