Pyramid - What NOT To Do (3)

[lone6718]

I love how they give the celeb. find their own mistakes. "now think about it, read the clue again. . . thats it." Not many celebs would really go for that today.

[TommygunNG]

"Things you fry": "A condemned convict." "A napalm target."

[cicholdebannan]

0:15 - political correctness costs her the round. If she had said "salesMAN" or "salesWOMAN" she wouldn't have gotten buzzed. But "salesPERSON" is equal to the word "PEOPLE" in the subject.

[chrismc410]

I wonder if anyone has got them all zapped?

[tpir1972]

FRENCH FRIES for FRY nice clue, TERESA.

[ProfMike789]

So using the word "a" for "What a computer might say" is unacceptable? What a joke!

[WavemasterAshi]

@ProfMike789 That wasn't the no-no. Saying "to a computer" is using a prepositional phrase, which you can't do (except I believe they allowed "of")

[PTH4Fun]

Who's that celebrity @ 1:18?

[PREGO1966]

@PTH4Fun Robin Riker from Brothers I think

[HarlemHyena]

Made of silver: The 2nd place trophy, the 2nd place medal. The Fantastic 4's surfer

[gameshowluvr86]

Adrienne Barbeau goes "oh, SHIT!" at 2:18! LMAO....

[wii1245]

@gameshowluvr86 Atta girl, Barbeau!

[shawnkquinn]

The way she said "the directions to a computer" was just perfect. Too bad it's not a legal clue as given. I'm guessing "a computer's instruction book" said in the same tone would be okay?

[danbarker39]

wHAT WAS WRONG WITH mapped, WAS IT A synonym?

[jmjfanss]

@danbarker39

Yes it was.

[sirharry13]

Adrienne: Fine silver-Oh!

Judge (quick buzzer)

Dick: Next! Next! Next!

[mdw278]

"Oh, next Nipsy, go ahead, GO AHEAD"

[wii1245]

If i messed up like that i would go "Fuck!"

[hammy52791]

why was mouse under your bed bad?

[Sjsuman5000]

@hammy52791  It's too descriptive.

[americanman2000]

@hammy52791 descriptive you can not describe

[bluebear1985]

In "Things You Enter", was the celebrity in that clip Smokey Robinson?

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@bluebear1985 Yes, that is Smokey Robinson.

[Italianlover07]

What celebrity said "Ladies in Elegant Gowns," for Sophisticated Things?

[matthew3alex]

Martha Smith said "Ladies in Elegant Gowns."

[Italianlover07]

Who said "The Directions to a computer"?!  For "Things That Are Complicated?"

[Italianlover07]

In describing "Things That Are Discovered," she used a prepositional phrase, which was "Mouse Under Your Bed," instead of using "Your Mouse Trap."

[MrBennetzen]

FYI: Don't use your hands!

[SJKopp]

Another rule: Don't use sentence clauses, unless the subject is "What (something/someone) says", or "Why you (do something)".

[SuperGamer7]

People who earn a Commission: "ertain SalesMEN."

Things you Chart: A Progress Report, A Sales Report.

Things that are presented: An award, a new product, a performer.

[nextbarker]

For DELIVERED, could you say a UPS package?

[PriceRight89]

*ding*

[bluebear1985]

I think so. In addition, I would go with "pizza".

[MatchGame73]

@nextbarker *ding* Heck, throw in "a FedEx package" for good measure. *lol*

[jirehop908]

Have there been any shows/celebs that got DQ'd on more than one category in the same WC? I was told there were a few that got DQ'd twice in the same round

[nintendodailyvideos]

in fact a person got buzzed 3 times in a wc. Jackie Harry

[karrasfather]

What was wrong with the directions to a computer?

[PriceRight89]

Prepositional phrase. "A computer's directions" would have been acceptable.

[cyanoftyr]

it's called a "prepositional phrase" which is against the rules in the Winner's Circle. If she had said "a computer's directions", it would have been allowed.

[americanman2000]

@karrasfather prepositional phrase is illegal for this game

[animfan1]

At 2:09, if the category were "Things in a tub," Bubble Bath would have been acceptable.

[NYBredBamaFed]

For "Things That Are Clean", I probably would say "your floor" and say it in a happy tone. Or "your hosed car". That's actually a really hard catagory.

[excuseyou77]

That could work, to the tune of the Mr. Clean commercial, lol.

[bluebear1985]

DING!

[GameShowFan6]

Things that are discovered

How about A New Island, judge?

[NYBredBamaFed]

A good clue would be "Columbus' America".

[bluebear1985]

*DING*

[americanman2000]

@GameShowFan6 ding

[PKMNwww411]

Kleenex is a brand name, that's why he got buzzed because of the "part of the word" clues is not allowed.

[tpirfan28]

Since Pyramid is a game of sounds, "clean" and "kleen" sound the same. That's the buzzer.

[nextbarker]

Do you have a part 5 of this?

[excuseyou77]

It's almost finished, should be posting that soon. :)

[DuoChan2008]

lol @ the celeb cussing at 2:17

[jemerson722]

They should have cuckooed the cussing. :-)

[shotymeisupandcummin]

These people shouldn't have been asked back on the Pyramid. I'd spazzed out if it was one box left and got buzzed.

[PriceRight89]

At least you should be a good sport and not take it so seriously. Slip-ups happen and it's best not to let it get to you.

[mullethead201]

Why did she get buzzed by saying "A mouse under your bed"?

[someguy23475]

Prepositional phrase.

[dpsulliv]

Again, with Teresa Ganzel--PEOPLE WHO EARN A COMMISSION--the key word is "Commission" and not "People." Bogus buzzer.

[Loogaroo1]

Disagree. Whenever "People" is in the subject, it's always a key word - otherwise, they would've used "Things" instead. It's also important because if Teresa had given a clue that wasn't a person, she'd have been buzzed - watch the 2nd video of Paul Kreppel getting DQ'd on "People We Elect" for using the clue "a referendum".

[someguy23475]

Teresa could have said "a salesman" and avoid the buzzer

[mjhunt1]

But, that would have been politically incorrect (good or bad, that is probably why she did not say "salesman").

[mjhunt1]

If a specific rule exists for the word "people", the buzzer would have to stand. However, I am not sure saying "salespeople" here is functionally different from saying "the coin part" for "parts of a slot machine."

Plus, only people can earn commissions, so using "things" really makes no sense.

[dpsulliv]

I totally understand that buzzer, but it is definitely inconsistent.  I see it as functionally the same as "the coin part" or Patty Duke's "things you didn't do" for THINGS YOU GET BLAMED FOR--especially since salesperson, salesman or salesgirl would have been accepted. I'm obviously in the minority, but I stand by my analysis. :)

[WavemasterAshi]

There was another one where they said "A salesperson" and it was allowed. I can't see how, if People is a forbidden word on People Who Earn A Commission, the singular form would be accepted.

[Loogaroo1]

Because they deal in sounds. "Person" doesn't sound like "people".

[WavemasterAshi]

Just to be clear, I'm not saying I wouldn't have buzzed people, but it IS inconsistent. And it's not just dealing in sounds, because synonyms also get buzzed. You don't get much closer in meaning to "people" than "person."

[rjaguar3]

In the second video, "Poor persons" is buzzed for PEOPLE YOU HELP.

[deric8]

No, the entire subject is very descriptive meaning the clue receiver would hhave needed both People and Commission. In Teresa's case if she had said "A SalesMAN" instead of a Salesperson (which person is a form of the word People) she would have been fine.

[matthew3alex]

The other illegal clue that she said was 'french fries' for "Things You Fry."

[puggie77]

Those Celebrities uses the Illegal Clue on $10,000, $20,000, $25,000, and $100,000 Pyramid.

[KidsTVCentral]

For Things that are Tight, Could "Small collars" be used instead?

[excuseyou77]

That would be a great clue.

[bronto5]

which celebrity says a showman's ware?

[mjhunt1]

He is Joel Brooks.

[GarfieldnPyramid]

Thanks for uploading.

[lancasterII]

Thanks for all these awesome clips, my favourite game show.

[excuseyou77]

Mine too! :D

[animfan1]

I'm not sure if mapped is a synonym for chart.

[Sjsuman5000]

@animfan1 According to the trusty thesaurus, Mapped and chart are synonymous...hence the zap.

[mullethead201]

Wh did she get buzzed at 3:52?

[mjhunt1]

She said "ladies in elegant gowns." That is a prepositional phrase (too descriptive).

I could not clearly tell at first clearly what she said.

[mjhunt1]

Which celebrity said "mouse under your bed" for "..discovered?"

[bjp20]

Lucie Arnaz.

[Singingboy1978]

I think that was Lucy Arnaz

[WheelockNS4LIFE]

Does the New $25KP timer have a lower pitch than later on in the $25KP?

[PriceRight89]

The first season episodes of The New $25,000 Pyramid had a slightly lower pitch tone.

[MrMatteNWk]

What the hell were those noises between 0:08 and 0:10?

[WheelockNS4LIFE]

The buzzer.

[excuseyou77]

that, and Nipsey reacting to what he had just done. lol

[Loogaroo1]

If you ever end up doing a fourth WNTD video, try to look for a $100K episode where a male celebrity (I want to say Barry Jenner?) had to describe the show "Dynasty" and said "Not Dallas, but the other show that starts with a 'D'."

[excuseyou77]

I don't think I have that, but that one sure sounds like a hoot!

[mullethead201]

I got it now.

[mullethead201]

How come Ed got buzzed by saying Kleenex?

[animfan1]

Dick will explain at 1:55.

[smashwhammy]

It sounds like "clean"

[gameshowluvr86]

"I didn't do anything wrong, why punish me?" LOL... I love Teresa Ganzel....

[trent100100]

great looking foward to part 4

[PriceRight89]

I'm calling shenanigans on show=present. Used that way, it wasn't synonymous.

[Loogaroo1]

Watching these videos, it's apparent that if you throw in a word that serves no purpose other than to lead a player into a synonym, you get buzzed. "Your wares" would've been fine. But since he said "A showman's wares", it's clear that he was trying to get his partner to say a synonym for "show".

[GameShowFan6]

How about these for "things that are presented"?

1. A Project

2. A Report

3. Child Jesus

4. Some Gifts at Christmas time

[Loogaroo1]

#4 would get buzzed for the prepositional phrase.

[PriceRight89]

While "Some Christmas gifts" would be a better way of saying the last one, I'd still avoid it because it might be synonymous with present.

[MatchGame73]

That would be impossible; gift(s) is a noun, present(ed) in the essence of the subject is a verb, there is no way a noun could be synonymous with a verb. If it was to get buzzed on the premise your saying, I am sure it would be argued tooth and nail.

[jemerson722]

@GameShowFan6

#4 would have been buzzed b/c "at Christmas time" is a prepositional phrase.

[mightydyckerson]

Thanks, Copernicus. We fucking know that.

[animfan1]

At 1:48, Ed Begley Jr, should have gotten buzzed the first time when he said Kleenex.

[BlackwoodCompany]

Kleenex is not in the category.

[Loogaroo1]

Dick explained that he probably would've gotten away with it the first time since "Kleenex" doesn't actually contain the word "Clean". But when he repeated it, the judges felt he was leading the player to the sound, and buzzed him.

They could've just as easily negated the value of the box afterward, saying "they reviewed the tape and you used an illegal clue" or some such.

[animfan1]

Oh. I get it now.

[vnisanian2001]

Who's that at 1:19, 2:10, and 2:36?

[excuseyou77]

In order: Robin Riker, Robert Hegyes, Ken Kercheval
