Jeopardy Fail - Contestant Win

[IwantmyMTVback]

This brings injustice to a HOE new level!

[swerdna1970]

why wasn't ho the right answer!?!?!  this is an outrage! where's justice?

[ashcarl116]

@swerdna1970 why not screw ken? look at the scores. he's has so much money(!), the rest are below $0.

[nicholaswright2006]

a RAKE??! wtf??

[UnSandpip3r]

Watson would have said ho

[jkejke]

ho' =/= hoe

[nkg825]

hoe would have worked fine too

[xicyd39x]

I would've said that too...soo I'm not going to laugh at him.

[fadetoGTR]

@xicyd39x but im going to laugh at you!

aha, aha ha ha. aha. ha ha.

[acenace24]

Alex Trebek: " Whoa...they teach you that in school in Utah huh?"

Ken: "Fuck you, look at the stupid asses beside me with negative numbers!"

[manonthemoon516]

Ken Jennings was so smart that he knew he could just toy around with everyone and still win

[MsEminem2121]

Lmao people don't walk around calling other people rakes. Try hoe next time...

[tehJibbles]

Notice how Ken has 14,800 and the other guys are in the negatives...

[AussieTrex]

Damn, I said potato.

[bhstone1]

Um...the answer is hoe.

[tsusajop]

If your under 25 then the term rake will sound foreign to you.. :) Cheers from Kentucky

[boyboricua]

A rake?? wtf??? 

[skydome29]

Rake's are terms of 18th century, they were the underbelly of urban large cities

[Lettster86]

Rake's progress I guess? I would have guessed hoe as well.

[ashcarl116]

contestant win is right, even in final jeopardy of this game, Ken doesN'T get the question right, which Al actually does!

[gotrice1997]

i give that guy props

[kingdom7777777]

that was a loaded question.

[ProgDrummerQ]

People who annoy you...

[MSJjoshua]

Rake is short for rakehell which is basically a male slut. Do some research before commenting please -.-

[JohnRaines]

@MSJjoshua Its also a term that hasn't been in use for over a decade.

[MSJjoshua]

@JohnRaines That is the result of the decline of people reading books in the past decade. Americans are slowly becoming more illiterate.

[AtarashiNOhi]

@MSJjoshua It is truly sad.

[321ian]

LMAO thats hilarious...whatever tho, he was raping the other contestants

[codehackerzane]

What is your momma for the win?

[kimonji]

The other two contestants can't say Hoe because they can't afford one.

[6STARreviews]

WTF hoe is the right answer



[codehackerzane]

@6STARreviews I know right, when did they change that? So what if it was about what a female dog, I guess it wouldn't be a B, be some long word no ones heard of despite being in the dictionary and being a word that is in my opinion politically correct, my thing si this, so the same thing you use to rack your leaves with is the same as the thing you use to hand tool used in gardening, I think not, zane knows not! >.<

[tle041]

WTF? Hoe is the right answer. Ken was robbed!

[mAsTaChEeF7]

Why is everyone else losing by a shitload?

[Zomgwtfbbq1228]

@mAsTaChEeF7 cause ken jennings pwns face

[cpuser37]

that's actually a very reasonable answer.

PS: rake? what?

[codehackerzane]

@cpuser37 it's that thing you used to rake leaves, and hand tool used in gardening. lol

[cpuser37]

@codehackerzane

lol i mean how is a rake an immoral pleasure seeker

[PeopleR2sensitive]

When you're Ken, you can afford to fuck up everything and still win.

[Jeffieboi]

Hoe is a MUCH better answer than a rake.

[NobodyYouKnow09]

Can't say whore on Jeopardy can ya....hmmm

[MrUtopia77]

haha the guy who said hoe was way ahead of the others...clearly he's the smart one :D

[decemberdazzle]

Rake is a word for it, but i think hoe works better.

[supahninjadawg]

i thought that was right? what the fk is a rake!

[marty13612]

Its alright hes fuckin beating them by $15000

[molovesmusic567]

how is hoe not the right answer?? i've never heard anyone be called a rake and when i think of rake i think of the tool not a slut!!

[jinpayne]

Looks like PC got it right.

[dan007iel]

hoe is correct -_-

[Jenji6]

He's such a rake! (lol never heard the word that way before) xD

[Hatunam1983]

I remember from my old high school English classes that rake is an older term rarely used today and what is means. that is how I knew that even though hoe is true so is rake.

[lolliga]

Lol. Look at his score then theirs, I think he was messing around. ^^

[floppyking8]

LOL i know what he got it wrong look at his score they were trying to help the others ><

[vivi028]

Hoe, ho. . . . . . . it would've made an acceptable answer if you ask me. p.s. SMOSH!

[ponyboyismybf]

it is a hoe

[puppyluveromg]

hoe should have been counted...

[xkennyPLx]

That's bullshit. It was obviously Hoe. I've never heard the term Rake to be used to describe a... well hoe...

[theonemankliq]

@xkennyPLx From Wikipedia - A rake, short for rakehell, is a historic term applied to a man who is habituated to immoral conduct, frequently a heartless womanizer. Often a rake was a man who wasted his (usually inherited) fortune on gambling, wine, women and song, incurring lavish debts in the process. The rake was also frequently a man who seduced a young woman and impregnated her before leaving, often to her social or financial ruin.

[brooklyntheredone]

@theonemankliq

Funny,I thought that was a description for a typical American douche bag.

[invisibleworlds11]

@xkennyPLx Rake... as in like... 18th century Rake lol Like... Rakes and Libertines.

[WotTehPhok]

@xkennyPLx Like to rake in cash.

[MixiAiko]

People don't know what rakes are? Clearly they don't read Regency Era Romance novels. Also, it's not an unsavoury word, so it's logical that it'd be that rather than "hoe/ho"

[dognaper321]

@birdman5050 thank you that way i didn't had to check it up

[mykindoffairytale]

that makes no sense.... ho is the right answer... he didnt mean it as "hoe", ho is a gardening tool... okay im clearly confused

[fightingfoos]

But clearly hoe is the right answer... that's weird.

[ocollins87]

@fightingfoos Don't feel bad cause that's the first answer I had too LMAO!!! Everyone that saw this thought that too..

[happyfacefries]

@fightingfoos I saw this on live TV and was outraged

[codyoty]

That was stupid. I think anyone would've said hoe!

[TheRyukenhadoken]

@birdman5050 looooooooooooool thanks for that, really. I was flipping in my chair, like wtf first guy got it right!!!

[ohemgeeitspaigebabyy]

@birdman5050

haha really, i actually didnt know that.

[insarmanse]

I first saw this on The Soup and what the heck is a rake!?

[619426]

I wonder what type of pleasure seeking that old man was doing back in his day.

[SuperUncleruckus]

a hoe is a tool too lmfao he was close

[ohemgeeitspaigebabyy]

what? who says rake? i thought it was a hoe too!

[SuperFunkyAfroNinja]

What's a hoe? No.................Wooow

[the12221]

i dont get it...

that was a good answer

[DeathAngelsFury]

Hey, they both work!

[divinegod102]

I'm so calling girls in my dorm "rakes" now.

[FruherIntiser]

hahahahaah who wouldn't say hoe?

[ElenaKat333]

He's just saying what we're all thinking.

[KrysOfSorrow]

Where ma rakes at? <-- Doesn't work so well. 

[iPaulTV]

I wuda said hoe too

[ausauspatpat]

lol.... rake.... how is that "immortal pleasure seeker" >.>

[PervAccount]

@ausauspatpat hoe means whore

[ausauspatpat]

@PervAccount NAWW REALLY?!.... I knew that already... I was saying how is "RAKE" immortal pleasure seeker... god.... because the answer was rake... -.-

[StrangePotion]

a RAKE? Ive never heard rake used as slang for something like that. Dude should have gotten it

[samysnes]

Fuck this show... seriously... Hoe was a correct answer.

[muffingirl337]

lol, im laughing and im a girl!

[spiderman4112003]

a rake? anybody would have said hoe too. Rake my ass.

[RonnShad]

This is incorrect

[Marcobalt]

how did they choose that question and not think "oh people won't say hoe at all" xD

[maalbe987]

Gotta love Ken!

[maalbe987]

He isn't wrong...

[maalbe987]

I've never heard of someone being called a rake in my life!

[dognaper321]

@maalbe987 me neither hoe made so much more sence

[maalbe987]

@maalbe987 3 consecutive thumbs-uped comments! Is that a record?

[happyfacefries]

@maalbe987 No kidding. Can you imagine if someone went up to you and said "You rake"

[gcahn2]

@maalbe987 Its before your time. Not used so much anymore. Wach some old movies read some dated liturature you'll see it.

[datlibra17]

the answer is hoe! who says rake?! i've never heard that used ever in my life.... that girl is a such a rake? pfft!

[hvf26]

i love it how he's still winning

[mAsTaChEeF7]

Yeah, so he got the "wrong answer", but how many wrong answers did the other contestants get?!?!?

[artman201]

how is it a fail? Ken Jennings has the most consecutive wins on Jeopardy and over 3 million in winnings?

[KaiaLoandBehold]

@artman201 Read the title again. It says Jeopardy Fail - Contestant Win

[thankennedy]

besides gardening WHAT THE HELL IS A RAKE???????????

[ThaBongKing]

Ken Jennings is a boss

[ictennispro]

thats not the only fail in the video. look at his score compared to the other two contestants!!

[Nitroglycerine1000]

rake...???!??!?!?!?

[SamuelYLam]

HOE is an acceptable answer.

[SickMouth]

I don't understand how promiscuous people are immoral as long as they're being honest, responsible, not spreading around STD's knowingly...So please, people. Don't slut-shame. It's stupid.

[Conducingpillow]

How the hell does a rake mean an immoral pleasure seeker?

[RadialSkid]

@Conducingpillow

That's one of the definitions of "rake," or "rakish." Look up "Rake_(character)" on Wikipedia.

[reloaditfast]

what is my cock?

[joemaccer]

"What's a hoe" WRONG

"What's a rake" Correct

Wat?

[MarcusDolby]

Actually, ho is more of an accurate answer than rake if you live in the modern age.

[help4343]

@MarcusDolby

but a ho is not a garden tool. A hoe is a garden tool.

[tangocash84]

i had to look up all the meanings of "rake" to get this.(ps. everyone would say hoe)

[CaptainCocaine]

@MrCharlieSinclair I never name-called, but anyone who clicks to see all comments will see that you have removed FOUR of your comments while I have not needed to remove any. Because I have used the same reasoning the whole time, while you have altered yours multiple times.

[syzygy502]

So Tiger Woods went with rakes??

[Juice1984]

@syzygy502 No. Tiger Woods is a rake. He went with hos.

[Akon127]

@MrCharlieSinclair

I have decided that the winner of the argument is Mr. Charlie Sinclair. It is quite apparent.

[XbobSector]

Why in the world is their an argument about this? What a stupid thing, the whole comment section is filled over a petty argument over grammar and vocabulary. It's not a bad thing to look it up, that would end the argument.

[CaptainCocaine]

@MrCharlieSinclair So you're saying you didn't look it up. Both spellings are accepted. I'm starting to think you don't know what promiscuity means, either.

[CaptainCocaine]

@MrCharlieSinclair Well your entire argument is that "hoe" isn't a word used to describe an "immoral pleasure seeker" but if you simply look up the word on any dictionary site, you'll see that it's used to describe a promiscuous person or prostitute. This concept isn't really all that difficult to understand.

[CaptainCocaine]

@MrCharlieSinclair No, actually, I'm just really bored. and feeding your desire to expose your ignorance/arrogance (can't tell which one's worse) is slightly more entertaining than doing nothing.

[CaptainCocaine]

@MrCharlieSinclair I don't know which astounds me more: your ignorance or arrogance. But you acknowledged you ignorance when you deleted your own comment that proved you wrong.

[CaptainCocaine]

@MrCharlieSinclair "MrCharlieSinclair

Comment removed

Dislike•Flag•Block User•Unblock User•Remove 6 hours ago Like "

You actually stooped to removing the comment where you proved yourself wrong? Pathetic.

[CaptainCocaine]

@MrCharlieSinclair "Promiscuous CAN mean immoral, but not necessarily." You proved my argument with your own statement. Thank you.  Goodbye.

[clark15107]

I would have thought that too.

[CaptainCocaine]

@MrCharlieSinclair promiscuous means "characterized by or involving indiscriminate mingling or association, especially having sexual relations with a number of partners on a casual basis. "

Ok, now that we have that, "having sexual relations with a number of partners on a casual basis" by the standards of most people is considered immoral. Sexual relations usually involves pleasure. How are you not putting this together?

[CaptainCocaine]

@MrCharlieSinclair promiscuous women are generally regarded as immoral pleasure seekers. Hoe still works for both definitions here. Jeopardy should have given him the points, because it was their fault for coming up with a question with two answers, and only finding one themselves.

[canuck4life81]

Ken Jennings doesn't fail. 50 something wins in a row on a show that actually rewards intelligence rather than ignorance. That's more 'winning' then the pathetic cadaver that is Charlie Sheen.

[CaptainCocaine]

How was that wrong?

[IBleeDodgerBlue]

isn't that what a ho is?

[1234guitarvibe]

I would of said hoe lol

[CaptainJetJakal]

That was the right answer though!!!!

[1990Danilwin]

what is he says. I don't understand engish very well

[nic11112]

@1990Danilwin Derogatory term usually aimed at women. Similar to whore

[1990Danilwin]

@nic11112 ha-ha. Thanks for translate

[FlamingFieldsForever]

Don't know what a rake is? Read erotic novels people.

[TheSlevinCalevra]

@FlamingFieldsForever lol. Umm i'm good actually.

[RankerTossBosss]

WINNER

[leshark]

its wrong because its not immoral... OBVIOUSLY!

[Trollinitsobvious]

i have NEVER heard anyone describe a "immoral pleasure seeker" as a "rake"

[unInnocentBystander]

WHAT THE FUCK IS A RAKE?! THAT WAS RIGGED!

[dilljr124666]

i said hoe in my head....i guess im a fail too

[MrSmartypants99]

I live in Utah, and thought that was just fucking hilarious.

[bakedfresh13]

I would have said hoe too. I've never ever heard rake used like that.

[rangersboy99]

@bakedfresh13 same

[ReklawLah]

I don't get it. Why isn't hoe right?

[chriskoegler]

@gregboyds Not really. Who the hell calls anyone a rake?Are you old as balls? What lame country are you from?

[MrDrWOO]

@MrDrWOO yes but the rake is not seeking pleasure now is it?

[dasunrisin]

i personally saw this episode and was thinking "hoe"

[jmiceli63]

Haha! I wish the other guy had just got caught up in the moment and said rack. That would have been perfect XP

[Snowboarder147852]

like this if you thought it was a hoe too ;)

[theirishinc]

He got it right...that's not a fail! That should count! AND he's winning!

[xkg47]

i'm pretty sure that should count...

[AlbinoBoy207]

Hey definitely should have given it to him

[bdrabik1]

He was technically right.



[ParasiticDaemon]

WINNING



[crazytoad10010]

WHO WOULDN'T SAY HOE?

[DarkDesertRose]

My Grandpa was watching this when it came on TV XD

Though we all know how jacked up English is. Hoe and Ho are two different things, I suppose.

[MaximilianMontesa]

Hoe - Female, Rake - Male So only men could be immoral??

[1BYEBYE1]

yah my ex-girlfriend was such a rake!

[ulongkoror]

a rake means someone that drinks and parties and have good times,all his life,in some shakespeare play

[everythingstakin]

@ulongkoror so thats where that dude got his name on Viva la Bam! lol

[moondy11]

Hoe is 100% correct.

[FunkMasterKRoc]

he thinks hes halarious

[spork24601]

Ken Jennings is awesome. Ask yourself if you would spend $200 of your own money just to make a joke.

[SirFrankoman]

He was so far ahead he did that on purpose. Just look at his reaction after saying it. Lmao

[avschase]

Since when does using a rake to scratch your ass considered pleasure?

[itchycow98]

Ken Jennings is a beast

[darklordixor]

I think this was on purpose hahah. Nicely done.
