I almost wish I could make this a regular segment, but luckily Best Week Ever is on top of some of the funniest/most inappropriate answer given on Family Feud hosted by John O’Hurley. Here’s a very funny clip from a week or two ago.

Man, I haven’t watched Family Feud in some time. I gotta start watching it again cause that is funny. They always do something funny!
And can you put up the video clip from FF with the question “Name a reason why someone would marry Martha Stewart.” It is hilarious.
We put it up the day after it aired.

Now that finding a competent host isn’t a problem, they can focus on good writing and let the game be fun again. This is just a great answer. It always surprises me what word they choose to use as the nickname. I remember one they used “NOOKIE” instead of “have sex” on the board for an answer.
when it’s kinda tongue and cheek like this great, but I remember the first ep. I saw hosted by Louie Anderson the question was “name another word or phrase meaning having sex” I’m amazed it aired for one and two the humor was clearly forced. same with celeb. family feud last summer questions like “name something that’s slippery and hard to hold on to.”
Uh, okay. What is Mr. Happy supposed to be?
Just curious, why do they use the “Game Over” win cue at the end of the round when the family doesn’t even have close to 300 points yet? Really weird to hear that after the first round…
I don’t like these euphemisms. If “make love” or “sex” was good enough in the comparatively tame 70′s and 80′s, it ought to be good enough today. And if the producers weren’t comfortable with erection as an answer, they shouldn’t have used the question.
To Marc Power: I remember that episode of Celebrity Family Feud. Name something that’s slippery and hard to hold on to. I was rolling on the floor laughing when Ice-T gave his answer (which we won’t say on here), and it was on the survey as “Mr. Happy”. If that didn’t tear me up I don’t know what did, but it was hilarious.
To Nikolai: You serious? Mr Happy is a euphemism meaning the man part of the anatomy (again, I won’t say it on here).
“Sex” may have been acceptable in the 70s, but according to the GSN Match Game documentary, you could not use ANY word for genitalia. (Including “genitalia” itself, which got bleeped when Marcia Wallace gave it as an answer.) And the only words you could use for urinating were “tinkle” and “wet”. So really, this is nothing new.
When that particular answer makes the survey for “Name something that goes up”, but a flight of stairs doesn’t, you know America’s in trouble. :)
But a flight of stairs DOESN’T go up. People go up the flight of stairs. Escalator would be a better answer still, but technically those go around, not up.
Personally it seems ridiculous to me not that it made the survey, but that they couldn’t just say so. I mean, that-which-shall-not-be-named (which I guess is as good of a non-name as any other non-name) can go up, and does go up. It’s just biology—people are way too crazy about this stuff.
