  • 1:45 S. S. ugh JULY. :)

  • SUH UHM SUH UHM JULY.

  • skinny ties are skinny.

  • what in the f***

  • the question on keys wasnt vague..i understood it the first time...

  • I didnt get the key question too at first. lol.

  • Does anyone know the names of two childs stars?

  • @detentioner4life

    Missy Gold (Benson) and Glenn Scarpelli (One Day At A Time)

  • whos the flamboyant faggot in the white suit

  • @1488slav

    Glenn Scarpelli. He was on a show called "One Day At A Time" which aired on CBS for 9 years (1975-84). And yes, he is gay.

  • Can't blame the kids. The question is worded wrong. If you were to use that sentence in a university English essay, you'd lose a mark there.

  • @kimonji The question is worded fine, especially for the time period. I found it easy to understand first time I heard it. They were probably just over thinking it. People who made the question asked 100 people the same question, if a majority of the 100 people didn't understand the question, they would have re-worded it.

  • @lionslicer9999 "Something to which you often lose your key". I think Richard could at least made it sound like "Something to, which you often lose your key". (added a comma). If I'm on stage with a time pressure, I think I would rather hear something like, "What would you often lose your key on?". The 100 people in the survey probably had unlimited time to think before answering. I have a feeling some of them had to consider twice first.

  • @kimonji They don't have a time limit, but they are asked by voice over a phone. Surveyed answers on the Family Feud are actually done by randomly called 100 people, obviously its not the same situation, but the surveyor would notice if the person had to take extra time to think of the answer because the question was odd, they would know if it would be a timed question, and if the person took too much time they'd make a note of that. So the majority of the 100 people had to have answered fine.

  • @lionslicer9999 I see. But the surveyor would have to be a lot more forgiving when judging the coherency of a question, right? I mean, if they pick random numbers to call, what if it's a person with poor English or thinking skills? The families picked to be on the show must have had practices. Even if it's someone with normal English skills answered the phone, would you say the surveyors will ignore any short delay between the question and answer due to the fact that they were caught off guard?

  • woudnt the correct way to ask the question be : Something of which you often lose your keys

  • @lifemetall I like "A kind of key you might lose"

  • @grixic78 true, much better

  • It's funny when Richard says we need 16 points, and then 16 points appear on the board. Pretty ironic if you ask me!

  • whoever worded that question is a complete jackass

  • I disagree with those who didn't comprehend the phrasing. It made sense the first time for me, and frankly I just don't see what the confusion is about.

  • @thane9 The question does make sense, but it is an odd way to ask it. I don't see why they couldn't just say "something that requires a key".

  • I love his laugh at January

  • My brain told me 'Alzheimer's' as the first thing, so yes, the phrasing is off.

  • I can understand the confusion ;p Funny though

  • That really is a terrible question. It doesn't really make sense. "Something to which you lose your key"? That could have easily been avoided with "Something for which you need a key". Their phrasing was incredibly confusing. The "lose your key" thing isn't even a significant part of the question, so then you're like, what?

  • Something to which you often lose your key.

    The first thing that comes to mind is what thing might cause you to lose your key.

    For example , you could say i lost my key to the gutters. Meaning it fell into the gutters.

    If we change it a bit, it's more clear why one would think that. As a question like "Someone who you often lose to" is much more common. So our brains automatically try to answer a question we don't know using something that familiar to us.

  • something FOR which you often use your key!!!!!! okay

  • Something to which you often lose your key???

  • Something to which........WTF

  • whats the whole point of the timer if he doesnt use it

  • I agree that was poor wording. I probably would have had to think twice about that question too.

  • the key question sounded like something Yoda would say.

  • it was a badly phrased question, but I understood it. I also can see where some young people whouldn't know how to respond to it.

  • Awkward laughing...

  • That is poor wording. It should have just been "Name a type of key you often lose."

  • something to which you often lose your key? The question is correct but how do you answer that?

  • @Quy4life House?

  • Prince?

  • Whoa I'm foreign and I understood that question :D

  • The first teen was Missy Gold from Benson.

  • how is this jonas brother wannabe related to that chick???? one of them must be adopted

  • I think they are all on coke, everyone was then.

  • How awesome would it have been if she said, "PASS!!" when he gave her a second chance.

  • The blonde girl is Allison Sweeney

  • Could you repeat the question

  • It's a wonder they won fast money.

  • Is that Julia Duffy? the girl with the blonde hair? Does anyone know what two shows were up against each other?

  • @babyleontyne13 I think that's Missy Gold from Growing Pains

  • Is that Julia Duffy?

  • The question WAS worded correctly. These nimtards don't understand English grammar!

  • I understood the question perfectly, the first time. Anyone who didn't is a retard.

  • @altcommand ...or 60 years younger than you, gramps.

  • @taintedhlub8 that's terrible english, prepositions can never end a sentence, that's why it has to be the way it was

  • haha "you overdosed on 5"

  • I never knew AC Slater made an appearance on Family Feud

  • "dorky" is right...

  • to be honest,i didnt understand it neither

  • i didn't understand it at first either... but i wasn't trying hard to think of answer either

  • I didn't get it until he explained it either

  • THESE FOLKS AIN'T NO ROCKET SURGEONS LOL

  • I understand it come on now

  • the answer is 2.

  • what was the Q i could not understand very well can some one write the Q thk

  • Jerry Lewis??

  • terrible question. thats bad english

  • The question was easy enough to understand but it just should have been "Something that uses a key."

  • 1:43 till the Answer JULY hahahaha is hilarious.

  • haha the second contestant looks like nick jonas

  • It is a poorly worded question. "Name something you would lose your keys to." Um, an alligator? A raccoon? an ex girlfriend? I lost my keys to a bad poker hand. It makes you think of what caused you to lose your keys, not what the keys go to.

  • Why did they accept "door"? "Door" covers almost everything.  Presumably, "car" is a reference to the car door. Could be the ignition, I guess. I'd imagine that over 90 people went with a door-related answer. I can think of very few possible non-door answers. I assume they interpreted that as "house" for purposes of the game. But that's quite a leap.

  • @9262ABC thats not true..when most ppl hear door, they think of house door, or a door to something..however oviously cars have doors..so there could be many similiar answers to that question

  • that was a poorly worded question

  • I didn't understand the question, that's stupid!

  • bullshit question!!!

  • The boy is funny and he sounds funny LOL!

  • And they got to 200...

  • Something you lose your key to..house,car,mailbox...

  • Margeaux from Punky Brewster

    

  • @COGIC1 - No, that was Ami Foster...the first player here is Missy Gold (Katie from Benson).

  • I didnt get it either..

  • Question on keys was quite ambiguously worded.

  • I didnt understand it at first either

  • @hotrodsniper I didn't get it at first either... the way it was phrased was confusing.

  • I understood the question, but that was AWKWARD!

  • I have to admit that the question confused me when I first heard it, also!

  • People.... it was NOT a question! It was a PERFECTLY WORDED IMPERATIVE SENTENCE! Please, folks, get OFF the computer and go learn something!!

  • i thought he meant were you loose keys,,,i think it is poorly worded hahahaha

  • I like how these questions were dumbed down to begin with. Other contestants don't have this part so easy!

  • I definitely did not understand the question eaither.

  • Something to which you often lose your key? No one understood this question! When they survey these questions I'm surprised this didn't get reworded? How about "Often we lose are keys to this?"

  • @RJupiter2 ...your comment speaks VOLUMES about you. "Are keys??" Really? How about "OUR keys?" And you have question marks in three places where they do not belong. No wonder you didn't understand this simple English question. The wonderful United States public government school system strikes again. Jeez.... we are doomed, I swear.

  • @Tre404 Yes you are correct I should have wrote "Our keys". Oops sorry!

    I see we have the Nazi English Patrol of YouTube, par-oozing grammatical erred comments, so he/she can lambaste them in a foul manner in order to stroke their ego and feel more superior.

    Why not just make your corrections to these wronged comments and reply them back so we can see how smart you really are? Instead of just insulting everyone!

    But honestly if you were any smarter I could water you!

  • @RJupiter2 ... Oooooh, scathing!! LOL... keep trying, junior.

    Oh, and you should have "written" "our keys."

  • that guy is a fag

  • It isn't poorly worded in the slightest. It may be confusing, but its the most proper way to say that. They were trying to avoid ending with a preposition which is something most people don't think about.

  • @Skope111 ...EXACTLY!!! Thank you! It is PERFECTLY worded! Thank God I've found at least ONE intelligent response to this video! Maybe there's hope for us yet!

  • What a horribly designed question.

  • @ebeatworld ... If that "question" was "horribly designed," (and it's NOT a question at all, it's what is called an "IMPERATIVE SENTENCE!") then the English language is completely idiotic. Where in the hell did you people go to school?? Oh, that's right. The wonderful United States public school system. That explains EVERYTHING!!

  • @Tre404 Wow, man. I've never seen somebody get so passionate about something as small as this. I'm not saying the English wasn't correct in that question. I know English. I'm a court reporter. I deal with English every day. But sometimes questions -- or sorry. Imperative sentences -- are formed correctly, but they are still hard to understand.

    And yes, I agree. Most US public schools are pretty rotten.

  • @ebeatworld An imperative sentence is a command. A question is interrogative.

  • @TycheTheLlama Yes, I know. 

  • The key question was pretty damn obvious, actually.

  • I didn't get it either.

  • the audio is only 7 seconds behind the video whats the sense in uploading this

  • It is not worded poorly. It is proper English.

  • Poorly worded question.

  • This clip sucked lol

  • When I use a key in my car or door it's not LOST!!!

  • Name something to which you often lose your key...

    I see nothing wrong with that... I had no trouble understanding it.

  • I didn't understand the question either and still don't....how do you lose your key in a car or door?

  • @Boneslinger88 No man he's saying, something that you use a key for but you often lose the key for it

  • i didn't understand the question either lmao

  • i friggin love this host, very cool xD

  • Lol. That was total luck

  • After that ridiculous ass question, they deserved the win.

  • host sounds like he's had a few drinks

  • Richard Dawson used to drink a lot.

  • hmm... the wording isn't common, but it is right (technically). the host's slurring doesn't help, though.lol

  • idk what he said either...i heard key

  • Same thing happened to me. i did not understand the question. It probably means that it is poorly worded.

  • @SpinozasPsyche "Name something to which you might lose your key." That is not poorly worded. It is PERFECTLY worded. It's just that we are mostly a nation of morons, and hardly anybody has any clue as to what good grammar and syntax are anymore!! And this was back in about 1985—it's gotten even worse since! Lord help us.

  • @SpinozasPsyche sorry, I have some bad news for you....it's not the question.

  • @SpinozasPsyche you cant be serious.....

  • @SpinozasPsyche no, it just means you, and anybody else who doesn't understand it, are stupid. this is exactly how you word this question

  • I'd have answered 'theft'. The question was worded badly. A good construction would have been "You often lose your keys to your what?"

  • what a thick family

  • a key u often lose?

  • Comment removed

  • very bad wording ! a lot of people do that !

  • Oh i would have asked what the host means too. That question was worded horribly!

  • The key question was actually worded horribly.

  • true!!!!Thats why she was like "what the fuk do you mean

  • @newyorkjamaican yeah, I actually was asking myself what the hell he meant lol

  • I agree. Something to which you often lose your key - I would have said 'theft'.

  • The question implies that some keys are lost more often then others. I would have wrote the question to read "Name something that requires a key to use"

  • @JoeDSileo1988 The question is saying that some keys are lost more often than other. Car keys are lost more often than house keys for example.

  • That seems odd to me. All my keys are on the same ring. So if I lose one I must lose them all equally.

  • In normal day to day conversation, most of us as Americans don't actually speak English perfectly. Most of us split verbs or end sentences with prepositions. So, due to that, when someone asks us a question in its grammatically correct form it can sound confusing. I must say in all honesty that that question did confuse me a little.

  • surely the key you use most often is the key which is most likely to get lost the most.

  • I understand the grammar and the concept of the question, but for me it still just doesn't make much sense...

    It honestly would never occur to me that you'd lose your key for one thing more than another, why would someone lose their house key more than their car key? Quite apart from anything else I keep all my keys on a single keyring... don't most people? I guess I'd say 'car', it's still a bad question.

  • agreed, "Something to which you often lose your keys"

    It sounds as though you're betting your keys on something and you keep losing it, only get it back somehow

  • Which key do people most often lose?

  • Mary Jane.

  • holy shit there stupid... how can you not understand that.. if you dont just go die

  • Its sad though. How most people don't understand the question. Irony strikes Native English speakers again. The question was, in fact, the best way to phrase it and was correctly put. "Something you often lose your key to." More people would understand, no? Yes they would but it is improper to end a sentence with a preposition (to).

  • It's an oddly wooded question. I guess it's just a test for these hosts.

  • always the blondes...

  • Either I'm watching Family Feud or That 70's Feud?

  • "Something to which you often lose a key."

    The question is confusing because he's asking for the identity of the object that the key serves. Eg., you lose a key to a car, to a house, etc.

    But the question sounds like it means: what causes the loss, as in "I lost the football game to the other team."

  • No, it's not confusing at all.

    I'm sure many people understood the first time.

  • I would have said house

  • I understood the key part..I was thinking door..

    lol, I love the guy at the big pause: "does this count for time?"

  • It's not their fault, it's the writers(').

  • I didnt understand the question either hahahaha

  • @kosmonaut5

    neither did I. hahaha

  • Killian, I'll be back

  • This is Glenn Scarpelli from One Day at a Time.

  • Thanks :D

  • I don't see how the key question is confusing. I got it right away.

  • I didn't know what the hell he meant lol

  • "Something to which you might lose your keys" I say stupidity. I lose my keys to stupidity at least once a day.

  • Who's that male child star?

  • He's Glenn Scarpelli, from later episodes of "One Day at a Time".

  • that wordage was confusing

  • c'mon give them a break !!

    the sentence had more than 5 words, u know !! how can anybody understand that in one go ?

  • Is that hes daughter...on the first one

  • It's Missy Gold, from Benson

  • Boy, were child actors THAT annoying in the '80s??? I couldn't see it then, but I do now. They are both beyond stupid and cocky.

  • that question is fucked up....

    something for which you often lose your keys ?

    -.-

  • the question made no sense to me as well.

    it should have just been "somehting to which you often use your key and might lose it" because the guy had to explain basically that everytime

  • are you a native english speaker?

    cause i'm not, and i understood that question easily. maybe beause in russian it would sound somewhat alike. i mean, just replace each word with the russian equivalents, and the question's meaning is obvious. (in fact, it's even constructed in the right way lol)

  • fyi yes i am a native english speaker- i was born in canada and have known both english and serbian my entire life. (my family descent is from serbia) and i also realize i may have worded my comment wrong because i understood the question , but after i had a few seconds to think about it. so im just saying if it were worded the way that i sugested it be, then there wouldntg be as much confusion over it. also many other comments on heere didnt understand the question as well.

  • Funny things happen when the pressure is on. They had 15 and 20 seconds respectively to answer 5 questions (time doesn't stop for the host to read each question either) and they knew that everything was going to be broadcast on television. It's an easy question at home, where you have nothing to lose or gain, but it's a different story when you're actually on the spot.

  • Ok "genius", here's 1 4 u: Name something for which you've seldom eaten a meal?
