Press Your Luck - The Famous Spin Battle!

[drinkwaterlaura]

$31,000 down the drain. If only they hadn't landed on all the extra spins.

[durangosandiego95]

buckz no vammiez

stopzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzz!

[SorryIPooted]

THIS is the heart of high drama.

[Cellostar47]

WHAMMY TIME!

(bahh boww)

[ndgv2]

that had to suck at the end lol.

[jajison]

"...but the game is not over" Yes, Peter. The game is over. Haha

[NWO41508]

thats really entertaining.

[zioncmnd]

no whammy's!

[PYLrulz1984]

And note what is on the board during all of this...

Double Your Money!!! (and a spin)

Imagine if one of them (especially Cathy) nailed that

[jdmikeg4]

haha this game is so rigged, they aint paying nobody 30 thousand dollars hahah

[jajison]

@jdmikeg4 They paid Larsen his six-digit payout, why wouldn't they pay $30,000+?

[PaperRayman]

...I can feel that. Ouch.

[munkeybrains]

this show helped turn me into the antisocial misogynist i am today.

[heeman650]

cathy is fisting herself lol

[biruss]

@heeman650 cathy is now banging lori's HOT and now RICH ex-husband!

[Angie2343]

I could SMACK Cathy in the face right now!

[SuicideIsPainless661]

If I Was Cathy, I Would've Whooped Lori's Ass

[MrTmoney12889]

WAMMY BITCH

[alan1963]

@MrTmoney12889 LOL I was crackin' up laughing so bad after she hit the whammy while she was winning over $20,000 in cash & prizes until "Metallica" whammy took her money while doing the song "Enter Sandman".

[DJCandyManMike]

Lori made the best decision she could have made when she said "I'll take the spin!"

[TonyDanger]

NO WAMMIES, THAT'S ALL I ASK! lol. Damn, I actually feel bad for that chick.

[xukeith33]

this is funny!

[ckoperni]

This show was intense! It brought out the inner-gambler in every contestant. I like how her opponent apologises to her after losing $31,000!

[mightyjoe911]

I love these old game show

[LilSC19]

Get owned

[lla26]

4:00 = EPIC FAIL!

[kobeistheman100]

I smack that bitch

[Angie2343]

@kobeistheman100 I'd smack the audience for being a large peanut gallery.

[biruss]

@kobeistheman100 well, lori fraternized with the control room guy to win the game, so lori's boyfriend dumped her for cathy! He later won 5 days thnksgiving of 84!

[Suzaku000]

2:00

At this point, it just became personal.

[fluteplaya22593]

I have this game for the wii but I highly doubt the computer players will have a war with me

[biruss]

Did i see what i thought i did? See-thru at 4:01! >:)

[corbaseball12]

3:47 the kiss of death

[mathewbailey08]

Correction- Beauty & the Beast 1987 s01 e01 part 5 5:04-5:09

[mathewbailey08]

Found it-Beauty & the Beast 1987 s01 e07 part 5 5:04-5:09

[mathewbailey08]

Anyone have the Beauty & the Beast CBS pilot episode Once Upon a Time in the City of New York? It features a clip from a Press Your Luck episode.

[megamanfan3]

I bet the director was thinking of this epicness that was made by PYL.

[indianamerican10]

HEARTBROKEN at 4:00 to the end!

[ninaakastar]

Cant believe i found this! i use to be scared of the whammy lol

[roundtrippa8]

typical asians

[cmurockjock]

Wow, just think if Cathy would have hit that $1000 + one spin space in the corner, just a second sooner/later, she would have doubled her money to $60816!

[biruss]

@cmurockjock what if cathy had THEN hit the whammy?

[yammie75]

Poor Cathy. I was cheering for her. If only Lori took the Color TV. (wind it back, you'll see)

[tbeals46]

@yammie75 Yes, but then she wouldn't have had a chance to win. Remember, only the winner gets to keep their cash and prizes, so it was in Lori's best interest to take the extra spin and keep the spin battle going.

[gameshowguy2000]

@tbeals46

If I'm not mistaken, that Big Screen TV was worth, what $3800? Would that have been for Lori to win?

[yammie75]

Poor Cathy. And Lori? She looked genuinely sorry.

@PYLrulz1984, what a thought, indeed. There were a lot of trips to the bathroom backstage during that era, I'd imagine... lol

[David9788]

i know who has the episode

[KoolDudester]

Ninja Gaiden 2 stole this music, listen to from the beginning to 8 seconds...snow / wind level

[PYLrulz1984]

On that last spin of Cathy's, imagine had she stopped the board a few seconds sooner. The light bounced off of square 15 (lower left corner) when it displayed Double Your Money + One Spin. Quite possibly in a span of a little over a month, PYL could of given 160K+ to just two contestants

[reznorfan15]

i used to love this show! will that poor guy ever get a turn?

[toontownwiz2]

Was this episode after May of 1984? The patterns are different from the original 5, so is this after Michael Larson's infamous run?

[HaloRuler658]

man they are beating down on that poor button

[VirginiaBeachNative]

Thanks Sooooooo much for posting this.. I loved watching this in my childhood..

[mindmycheeseandqs]

I wonder what the guy at the end was thinking.

[mantis914]

I think the funniest thing about this show was that all the contestants would start out all prim and proper and by the end of the show they are yelling and hootin' and hollerin'. This show turned people into savages... :P Good times!

[charmy9682]

@mantis914 That's why this is my favorite game show of all time!!! I wish I was on the show

[Jknessmic]

she's fucking tripping out

[Sharpproductions32]

Laurie: Big buckkkssss Big buccckkks and STOP! Peter: Stop at move one space to a bigscreen TV or 750 + one spin Laurie: Oh.. Ill take the spin!

[ScorpioBornIn69]

It is the same feeling if playing Wheel of Fortune and have $30K+ and landing on 'Bankrupt.'

[newstarcadefan]

@ScorpioBornIn69 Ah yes....that has happened before on Wheel of Forgune. Look up the Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat puzzle from the daytime verson.

[ScorpioBornIn69]

Anyone got GSN? They have this show on Game Show network and it is even better now that they have "Double Whammies". Hit one, the whammy no only takes everything you won, he messes with you by dumping things on top of you!

[plaga378]

Epic catfight.

[rickhh1]

It's moments like this what made that game show amazing. The tensity. The drama. Never knowing how the next spin will finish. And the best part... the producers didn't have to resort to music to increase the drama... the sound effect was enough.

God I miss game shows like this.

[felixthegreatac]

that guy was prob just like, wow glad i finally got on this damn show lmao

[shadowstrike2123]

I remember watching that episode. I was rooting them both on, curious to see the outcome. I feel sorry for Cathy. Lori gave her a run for her money, though. Truly an epic moment!

[fluteplaya22593]

such an awesome and exciting show and what a spin war!

[domirules28]

sucks for cathy, before the whammy was that the closest anyone's ever got to michael larsen's rampage???

[jfachris]

wow....

[parliboy]

@FenrirLupus Rule that you don't like != stupid rule.

[biruss]

@FenrirLupus you pass it to the one in first or 2nd place. They couldn't pas it to Randy!

[SamJay57]

that guy is like...'

"Shit...dumb broads..im getting owned on live television!" mwahawhhw!

[sbtbfanatic]

Wow, Cathy was smoking hot!

[biruss]

Well at least Cathy had the satisfaction of knowing she was not wearing a bra! And she knew Lori's boyfriend would be dumping Lori for her after the show.

[M51210]

Damn Chinese

[voltairex999]

@M51210 that's a racist comment big head 

[unknown234]

This was my favorite game show of all time. Sucks about the end though, I had a feeling that was coming, but still that sucks.

[Mariofan103]

Asians are TOO good...

[maldicientin]

That third contestant must've felt like a dork.

[cd637299]

Was this pre- or post-Larsen?

[BigAl1976]

@cd637299 - I daresay post-Larson. If it was pre-Larson, I'd spot 2-12-1-9-4 pretty quick, as well as 13-17-7-4 and 13-17-8 (the other two patterns Larson used).

[t1ngley]

Wow, if that happened to me I'd want to physically maul that other lady so bad it would eat me up inside.

[biruss]

@t1ngley I would have srceamed: DIIIIIIEEEE! BITCH!

[DJRaveN4x]

FATALITY.

[ShutEmDownNow]

at 3:58 - Awww ...

[RCGWNV]

WTF I'd have took the big screen

[Narrator007]

@RCGWNV and you would have lost

[corosequis]

Cathy's hot.

[biruss]

@corosequis on her 1st day, peter said that she was a lovely lady.

[crunkrocka]

Two women on the verge of The Big O on national TV. Whatever happened to '80s television?

[biruss]

@crunkrocka Cathy does have the big O when she hits 5k+spin!

[hallpriest9]

@biruss What's "the big O"?

[biruss]

@hallpriest9 the big O is, if a may say this word on youtube, orgasm.

[iammach6]

@biruss: no, the Big O is the number 0.

[TheDragonBoss]

Who or What isCedars-Sinai,

[GyrenDeLeonard]

@TheDragonBoss well cedars-sinai is the name of a famous hospital in California

[TheDragonBoss]

@GyrenDeLeonard Ok thanks

[goodfellabeats]

I hope see got some great parting gifts because losing 31k by hitting a button at the wrong time hurts....

[cstring420]

@goodfellabeats Thanks for the spoiler! Why couldn't you keep the outcome to yourself so people who read the comments while their watching videos can still enjoy it?

[goodfellabeats]

@cstring420 There are like 3 other people who mentioned that one of them lost that much so don't single me out. Next time, watch the video, then read the comments. Problem solved.

[pancakeman22]

No whammy, please!!!!!!!!!!

[kelperdude]

no gameshow ever pumped the adrenaline like this one did.

[bigpboy1012]

4:00 Finally! It's over!

[TheRandomRedSoxGuy]

Somebody alert Cedars-Sinai, we're on our way xD

[wyo20]

gotta love the contestants hair dos on this show lol

[wolfdrew23]

lol you could here the other lady say i'm sorry when them one lady wammeyed out!

[littlemacaddict]

Of course it would end in a Whammy...

[shadydawg555]

IF I was that girl, I would have cried! Remember, this was in 1984, so that was BIG money back than! Seriously, I would have cried like a little girl!

Also, that guy was just sitting there, poor dude!

[unknown234]

@shadydawg555 That's where, if I were him, I'd kick my feet back, hands behind my head, and just relax.

[livendapast]

I remember this like yesterday. i was about 8 when this first aired. Damn time is flying look how old it looks.

[retrofever1969]

That was a kick in the pants! Lost over $30, 000 .

[tml4873]

wow, a game of random luck, exciting.

[mathematicalbagpiper]

@tml4873 Well, it wasn't really THAT random. The system was entirely beatable and it was beaten shortly before this episode. :-P

[willhancock2008]

this game is the jerkiest game ever. It turns people into A holes. i would of let the girl with 30k win if she split it with me lol.

[tbeals46]

@willhancock2008 The only problem is that most game shows, then and now, have a clause in the contract you sign that doesn't allow players to make arrangements to split prize money in order to affect the outcome of the game.

[culturaleyes]

Take your money and run lady! Game shows used to be so fun and intense

[KassiRissaCo]

WHAMMIESSS

[JBTHREAT]

Talk about the Ultimate Ping Pong effect!!

[trendon]

I bet if you got Cathy out of that ridiculous hair she was pretty hot.

[jjlucash]

PYL at it's best! :D Big bucks...big bucks and NO!!!

[james9322000]

I remember watching this show!! awesome :D

[djseriousbizness]

I would've kicked that Asian chick in the mouth if I had gotten a whammy. LOL

[im264shirt]

The most exciting thing since the Larson game. Unbelievable.

[HarlemHyena]

That's the idea! That's why it's called Press Your Luck!

[CJBojangles]

@JBieberFanLuv I expect no less with someone with Justin Bieber's name in their screenname.

[LilSC19]

@JBieberFanLuv Wtf does Justin Bieber have to do with Whammy. Justin Bieber came a long way before whammy. Get your timeline fixed or dont say anything at all.

[HarlemHyena]

@CJBojangles Amen to that. Just another mindless fangirl who can't appreciate REAL entertainment.

[LilSC19]

@CJBojangles You tell that bitch.

[Jumpybeaver]

@JBieberFanLuv Just like Justine Beaver

[trueblue4ky]

@JBieberFanLuv ... That makes it EXCITING.

[biruss]

4:09. Cathy look says: DIE BITCH!!!

[kingofkc2005]

Press Your Luck at it's best

[DeleteThisMF]

Damn that was epic. Loved that show. Never saw it.

[alman666]

I found that very amusing.

[onearmedmario]

thats amazing

[bb6f44]

oh yeah, damn that evil Lori for trying to win!  how dare she!

[m2diggs]

i would have blown my brains on right there on the spot if that had happened to me.poor Cathy is right!

[biruss]

No, suicide is no good. Cathy would then go to hell. Homicide is forgivable! Blow LORI's brains. On the next episode Lori said that she went to ICU over the weekend. Cathy had something to do with Lori needing to go there!

[KoraggRules]

never kiss a whammey

[joeglimmix]

the blonde is smokin

[biruss]

She is hotter than Sancy!

[giovannipancia]

2 words:

Poor Cathy!

[Thunderwing88]

"The Spin That Wouldn't Go Away"

[aduecey]

amazing

best gameshow ever

[livinforwestwood]

I am crying right now!!

[biruss]

I swear, Cathy has an orgasm at 2:19-2:29!

[Edubbplate]

Kathy's Hot!

[vin8162005]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[xobrentox]

This was EPIC!!

[MadThad0890]

i call hak

[ukgladiatorsfan]

How exciting. Does a full episode out there exist somewhere? would love to see it oin feel

[biruss]

After this, randy got a run up to 15499, and hit M1S to 1000+S or a tent trailer. he took the spin and passed.(not the best idea). Lori got up to 21135, and hit M1S to 1500+S or "2000 $ please" & "we're going over!" Randy stopped and the slide switched to a whammy as he stopped! He gave the 2 spin to lori, with 23135. (Dumb!) She got 750+S and then appeared to get "you just avoided the whammy" 750. However the slide shifted clearly AFTER the yellow square had clearly stopped on a whammy!

[biruss]

lori then went again (she said go!) Then she said stop and banged down her hand in frustation. Peter let her take it back but she hit double your money & spin, & passed to Cathy, cathy hit 500+S, & then lori whammied. Cathy said apology accepted! She laughed and laughed. I wish! Lori passed the spin to randy and he (give me a spin i need one and stop) whammy! Lori you are the Champs with 24685! That last slide change looked like when dice flipps it self after it's stopped.

[xtmno3]

The audio for this starts to sound like an adult film by the time Cathy gets around to her last turn.

[jjthevidfan]

So much for her happy ending!

[biruss]

The next episoded lori had gone to ICU. I think Cathy beat her up!!

[GameShowNetwork]

Cathy: No Whammies!! NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOW!

Peter: STOP AT A WHAMMY!!!!!

Whammy: Hit It Tammy!

Tammy: I'm Up...Up....I'm UP!

[biruss]

i think cathy said A BAD WORD!!

[froboy0981]

THATS EFFIN' AWESOME.  I was yelling for one em to whammy!

[namk19]

too bad none of them hit double your money and a spin
