A melanke David can never be as smart as his elder David.

Hey David, was there any tension between you and the other 2 contestants, or was it just friendly competition?

[gravey6009]

Watch the youtube video, and you'll hear me telling off my fellow contestant (there's a pop-up where I explain the moment). We both wanted to win!

This is Dave with a quick message--I posted this video a couple years ago to document my appearance on "Remote Control." I'm happy it's being viewed so much, but sad that the reason is because Ken Ober passed away yesterday. RIP, Ken. You were great at what you did, and have secured a place for yourself in game show history.

when i was a kid i was scared when they went behind the wall ...i thought the boogie man was back behind it cause hands used to grab them and stuff

@PMD220S whitney had an amazing talent back then and it was before she used drugs. she was called 'the voice'

[ThePuppetgirl12]

i am sure that when they went too the unseen box there where demons ot the worst kind back there

[PMD220S]

Ooooo. Milli Vanilli and Whitney Houston CD's!!!! lol Fake artists and a coke head. YES!!

[TylersOasis]

@ThePuppetgirl12 Hahaha I thought the exact same thing.

[Retrofanatic10]

@ThePuppetgirl12 LOL! I'm watching it right during their 30th anniversary , and they were showing Remote Control , LL Cool J and this girl when behind the wall , and I was thinking that would freak me out if I was a kid. Because back in the 80's , things seemed scary and freaky to a little kid , I should know I saw part of it. XD , but yea , it's weird i was thinking that , that to a small child that's like a haunted house or something scary.

Ken Ober was great on this show. I tried never to miss an episode. Colin Quinn was great too. Adam Sandler? Ehhhh... Anyway, I'm sorry Ken Ober died, he was obviously not that old.

Dude seriously this show was really funny and clever. Adam Sandler got his start on this before SNL as well as Colin Quinn.Adam Sandler had one character called the Stud Boy LMFAO.Now MTV shows are made by those that have an I.Q. of a coffee table
