Illegal Password Clues: One Word at a Time PLEASE

[ProfMike789]

three-quarters is ONE hyphenated word! I call BS

[ethanman62187]

This is not pyramid, this is password.

[BohepansTheThird]

And I would have thought "rollercoaster" was considered one word when specifically referring to, well, the ride you see in some amusement parks and such. You know, like rollerblading and rollerskating? I guess not, though. Hey, it was a good try, though.

[diebydeath]

You do not disqualify Colonel Blake! Not cool, man...

[FluffyLovesSpyro2]

NBC isn't a word? The heck?

[94Bballpat]

@FluffyLovesSpyro2 Its the initials which are 3 words

[sweiland75]

:23 I have seen that contestant in reruns of the show. I think she was beautiful then. I wonder what she looks like now.

[berezin99]

Anybody notice that Tom Kennedy called Elaine Joyce "Joyce" at the 2.30 mark.

Very funny. Also funny Elaine Joyce didn't seem to notice.

[sweiland75]

@berezin99 What's the problem? That is her name. :)

[94Bballpat]

@berezin99 that was a different episode and the contestants name was Joyce

[cysotbone621]

NBC???

[HarlemHyena]

3:17 Class Dismissed!

[FutureNewsAnchor]

Tom Poston knew he screwed up at 2:15. Too late, Mr. Looney!

[dim432]

Hello why their was a ring on the initials not the MEEP

[GameShowNetwork]

Three letter initals have the same rule as "two words!"

[m0destm0useisg0d]

LOL, "PEANUT BUTTER"

[elevatorgeek762]

@m0destm0useisg0d : He sounded like Cookie Monster.

[animfan1]

The only other show I'd later watch Robert Urich on before he died was "Cheers."

[dim432]

1:39 i dont know what he said

[ericm242910]

@dim432 he said NBC, a three letter initalisim which is really 3 words

[StFidjnr]

@ 3:16 fire drill.

[dbowen88]

3:55 - 4:06, is that Bull from Night Court?

[QueenNetExpert]

@dbowen88 yes

[WarOfTheKnights]

2 Things = Fruit of the Loom!?!? and HOCKEY PUCK BELGIUM!

[bigweezey]

hockey puck for belgium lol.

[tpirjunky]

@ 2:51 it looked like the illegal clue sound effect was activated by him hitting himself on the head; the timing couldn't be more perfect.

[animfan1]

The illegal sound at 2:31 was an error because she said uh as in u-h, name.

[mtiller2006]

Hey, wait a minute! In my posting of a Russian Roulette bonus round, there's "Vandyke" mentioned there, and it's one word...why would Tom Poston get buzzed for that?

[BlackwoodCompany]

He must have meant Dick as in Dick Van Dyke or the judges were off.

[MikeHL78]

The judges were off. They shouldn't have dinged him.

[bigweezey]

no no. Judges were right. Van Dyke is seriously 2 words. Judges were right on that.

[denelson83]

@mtiller2006 The judges thought it was two words.

[engrish2006]

@mtiller2006 It could be one of the judges is Dutch, lol.

[GameShowFan6]

2:12-2:18

From the finale.

[Terestrasz]

3:56

I laughed like MAD!

[dim432]

why was their a bell on 3:13 except of the ba ba ba ba

[earlymid90schild]

Because there are many schools (or were many schools back then) called JFK.

[msnbc87]

cream cheese witch would be two words

[msnbc87]

He said cream cheese

[BlackwoodCompany]

Cream Cheese.

[BlackwoodCompany]

Language please!

[sleeplessnights7745]

the show organizers are fucking dumb and idiotic

[BlackwoodCompany]

Are you saying Fremantle is dumb and idiotic?

[GameShowFan6]

Why is IBM and NBC illegal clues?

[BlackwoodCompany]

IBM, NBC, and JFK are all more than one word.

[GameShowFan6]

They're all initals. Why are they illegal?

[BlackwoodCompany]

Initials are all not one word.

[lucyrickyalex]

It's three letters.

Bert Convy (as a celebrity on P+) asked "How many letters do I get?"

[msnbc87]

Because that would be treated as more than one word and thus the illegal clues

[StFidjnr]

3:17 it's a fire drill.

[thisfirrre]

"Say something." "Hockey puck." Classic.

Also what the heck was with the fire-drill sounding bell @ 3:17?

[PKMNwww411]

Illegal Clues in Alphabetics reduce your potential winnings by 20% (minimum $1,000)

[TVLubber]

If it's the word itself, the jackpot is forfeited.

[PKMNwww411]

As well as Illegal Clues in Super Password.

[TVLubber]

But they should've made it like this:

One illegal clue, and they move on to the next word. If time permits, and they return to that letter, a new word that starts with the same letter appears. But one more illegal clue, and the game ends immediately.

[animfan1]

Chocolate (minus the chip) would have been an acceptable clue for cookie.

[BlackwoodCompany]

We knew that, but who said the fact that they cannot say two words?

[animfan1]

I think it was the celebrity partner of Robert Urich which was Bart Braverman.

[setheriah]

I like the school bell on dick martin why the school bell.. I guess he was disqualiied for illegal clues before.

[piguy314159]

Search "password plus french" -- there's your answer.

[animfan1]

Break-in is hyphenated which means it's 2 words

[piguy314159]

Wait a minute... at 0:44 the PASSWORD had two words?!

[BlackwoodCompany]

I have seen one in that and one in Super Password.

[paolowindows14]

yes!

[PriceRight89]

The password can be more than one word, clues can not.
