Family Fortunes 1983 - the Irishman and Turkey bloopers - Part 3

[FutureNewsAnchor]

The American version of Family Feud doesn't give out prizes.

[GeorgeASFTHM]

Pity Bob was never asked "name a middle eastern country" otherwise he would have said Iraq.

[angels77100]

@GeorgeASFTHM No. He'd probably have said Israel as he said Israeli was an Irishman in a previous round. The English truly are the thickest people in the world.

[H3WMW]

Haha. What a turkey.

And it's funny to see the reaction of the family members after Mr Turkey gives his answers.

They are in disgust. lol

[Visonu]

8:29

"You're in a pretty good position."

Yeah, but wait and see what he says.

[davemacc904]

At 5:10 the crew have to repeat the prize sound as Max is too dozy to react to it the first time. Classic.

[sprinter82]

Good god...how senile IS this guy? Well, he did manage ONE valid answer throught this show...That had to be the funniest game show moment I'd ever seen when I caught it on a special several years ago.

And on a side note: Sausages in flour...? Hmmmm, I'd try that.

[Visonu]

After he said "Hurricane Higgins" and it had already been said, he should have just said "Turkey" again LOL

[thelilypad01]

name a food rolled in flour before cooking -" you ladies should know this" wow that sounds sexist now

[dilwich123]

I wonder what thay had for there Christmas dinner that year?

[amour16]

I love how on Family Feud everyone claps even at the most ridiculous answers, but on Family Fortunes they just laugh at them like it's the dumbest thing they ever heard =D

[lostinbass4]

Classic, love the was his family look at him with such distain!

[jaqqqqqqattack]

You roll dough in flour... wow, that would have been replayed forever had it been in a normal episode.

[jellric]

Turkey FTW!!!

[jellric]

What was the "Irishman fiasco that occurred before the break"?

[WhatsAYak]

@jellric - The question was "Name a famous Irishman", but it took *8* tries during the face-off for someone to come up w/an answer that made the survey, not to mention some of the ridiculous answers offered.

[jeffrey44]

There was a brief interview with the remaining Johnson family (this was after Bob died) on Channel 4 a few years ago. Can anyone remember what programme it was on? Is it on YouTube? I'd like to see it again.

[semlohd]

Why would anyone take a turkey with them to the beach!?

[jeffrey44]

@semlohd

One might be a sexual deviant. Also, I believe Turkey has a beach so he may have got confused. Turkey does fit in a round about way with the first three questions. It was only he got to a famous snooker player that he got unstuck.

I wish Challenge would show this series again.

[tracyos369]

What year did Bob Johnson die?

[StFidjnr]

@ 6:15 the consolation prize

[Visonu]

I heard Bob Johnson's dead. Not that I was surprised, he looked middle-aged already in '83.

[them000ch]

I'd love to see this guy do a crossword, just jamming the word "turkey" into every fucking space, laughing maniacally like an escaped mental patient.

[2010Barbon]

You can go back to the asylum with the people LOL!

[0TedMaul0]

How the f##k can you go through that entire show and then decide Bob was your best chance for the Big Money round? Comedy gold :)

[CyberTechWolf]

@gameshowguy2000 I think Strike would be

[RetlocLive]

I didn't see the blue guy smile once throughout the whole bonus round.

Guess he really wanted the money. lol

[Visonu]

"Welcome back to the Irish Embassy."

That Max Bygraves was the BEST host ever of Family Fortunes.

[Classictv90s]

@Visonu WRONG, Max Bygraves was terrible as host of Family Fortunes he kept making mistakes and was forgetful plus he got the show a cancellation in 1985.

Bob Monkhouse and Les Dennis were better hosts of Family Fortunes.

[Hondo20132]

@Classictv90s It's just opinions.

[Classictv90s]

@Hondo20132 Yes that's alright then a very hilarious edition you have uploaded from Famiyl Fortunes Hondo.

[Visonu]

@Classictv90s WRONG, Max Bygraves was by far the funniest and wittiest host of them all, cracking a joke at every turn.

And just for your information, Bygraves has Alzheimer's disease, so please be a bit more sensitive.

[Classictv90s]

@Visonu I know that Bygraves has got Alzheimers as of 2011 but back in 1983 when this particular edition of Family Fortunes was recorded he was a picture of health.

It was just my opinion about his presentation on the show that's all I was saying.

[gimnazjalista97]

rodzina johnson ma karę że nie dostaną jedzenia

[MrMatteNWk]

The sad thing: The famous snooker player John Turkey was the number 1 answer and they would've won the money had he said "turkey" one more time!

[Hondo20132]

@MrMatteNWk How do you know that? It was never mentioned, I don't think.

[Visonu]

@MrMatteNWk I think the top answer was Ray Reardon.

[SAIL4323]

"no dough"

Nice wordplay, Max.

[DEATHEXISTFOREVER]

and we shall be back next week with 1500lbs of turkey

[Visonu]

Two weeks in Turkey.

[JoeGutfeld]

the looks on the family is funny

[r4h4al]

Wow max bygraves is even better than Les,

dough should have been top answer btw.

[DEATHEXISTFOREVER]

@r4h4al no dough.i guess you can say dough is a food

[DEATHEXISTFOREVER]

it sounds like he said tennis gave 11 but clearly its 13

[SuaveTito]

@TheDiddlysquat Oh this is nothing. There was one family on family feud, where the first guy was just awful. When he was asked for "an animal with 3 letters in its name" he said "frog". Then "something besides rain that comes with a summer storm", he said "snow". Thought that was bad? The second guy gave the answer to the first question: "alligator".

[cupcakefairy87]

I bet his family killed him when the cameras stopped rolling.

[SuaveTito]

@cupcakefairy87 and then stuffed him and took him to the beach.

[Visonu]

This is the kind of stuff that legends are made of. Max Bygraves is just fucking HILARIOUS!!

[HaniiPuppy]

They accepted "Pastry" but not "Dough"?

[MattTheSaiyan]

He looks sorta kinda almost a little bit like Charles from "Mash". Which makes it more funny.

[DaBearFan715]

Bob's family looks pissed after he gave those answers.

[mattie30]

Even as a little kid, I can remember how useless Max Bygraves was at presenting this show. All he used to do was shout constantly and forget the rules of the game even! Bob Monkhouse who preceded him was excellent, should never have stepped down

[HWJASURY]

Anyone notice that max said 11 for tennis the points for it popped up. But tennis wasn't 11 it was 13

[antster1983]

These would have been my answers...

1. Windbreak

2. Newspaper

3. Turkey (of course :o)

4. Steve Davis

5. Football

Yet Bob's are better :oD

[antster1983]

"Come on, just before you go back to the asylum!"

[jblth]

i like max i think hes a great person,and i have most of his cds, but i feel sorry for him, keeps forgetting his cues and the rules of the game, but u can tell hes trying, i found it funny when he clicks on that one of them had to disappear into the dark "and i hope he never comes back" lol, :)

[shutterrrrbug]

look at the uncles face at 9:12, he's all mad shaking his head LOL

[StFidjnr]

@shutterrrrbug he is thinking to himself there goes the money

[antster1983]

"Hello, Bob, it's nice to see you sober!"

And then, having already cemented his position at the Irish embassy with Disraeli and Gerry Fitz he put the icing on the cake... or should that be the stuffing in the turkey?

[antster1983]

You roll DOUGH in FLOUR? :oS

[MyNameisB4U]

8:10 Max said he got 11, when it was really 13!

[JaimeLuvzEarth]

@ 8:08 he said "For eleven (points)" but really it was "For13 points".... hmmm you have to wonder with that one. ;)

[BaronSamediVoodooLoa]

The turkey guy sounds like Larry from the three stooges which makes it twice as funny.

[DANWOODHOUSE]

Cant you post the whole end music

[bobbinz]

vernon kay....he really is bobbins

[wooferdogs]

this is without doubt the greatest ever full family fortunes, against which all other bloopers shall be judged, this is the highest echelons on foolishness :)

[CraigFoye80]

Max Bygraves: Name something people take with them to the beach.

Contestant: "TURKEY!"

Max: The first thing you buy in a supermarket.

Contestant: "TURKEY!"

Max: A food often stuffed.

Contestant: "TURKEY!"

[joesakic91]

@CraigFoye80

First answer: Buzz 0

Second answer: Buzz 0

Third answer: Ding 21.

Hilarious stuff. 

[glassaghman]

love at 6.15 he says the d funnish show he's -- it gets funnyer

[mal2pool]

even max was better and funnier than Vernon. All the members got a go too.

[David9788]

i love that part at 9:27

[David9788]

[caholla]

[nufcdazzla]
