Getting angry/annoyed with game show contestants

Ugh, it blows my MIND sometimes how dumb some of them can be. Some questions are pretty fucking common knowledge and they even use up all their lifelines trying to figure out the answer! Goddammit! I want to find these people and make sure they don't reproduce. Who the hell doesn't know that The Kingsmen song that prompted an investigation for hidden obscenities was "Louie, Louie"???? The ONLY song that comes to mind when you think about The Kingsmen is Louie fucking Louie! Goddammit! How could you just stare blankly?!?!?!?!? EVERYONE KNOWS LOUIE LOUIE! GOD!

 

uuuuhhhh

 

No deal !

 

Haha, I'm listening to Cashcab, because the TV is right beside my head, and these people didn't know the answer to that question and it kind of made me a little irate. I think I might need to go and kill some flies.

 

Never heard of the kingsmen lol but im british soooo.....

 

I'm sure you've heard Louie Louie. If not by them, by a marching band.

No, do not ask what the hell they are singing. I don't think anyone knows.

 

yep, never heard of it..sorry :/

 

yeah, haha. I would have went uuuhhhhhhhhhh

 

NEVERMIND!! it was in animal house i think...

 

Oh my god. My head is exploding. Maybe I'm too much of a band nerd to comprehend how people don't know that song. It was my favorite song they played at football games. Marching bands do it so much better than the Kingsmen. Haha.

 

I know the song but never would have been able to answer that question

 

lol, I guess I am just a band nerd. But does anyone else go off at game show contestants? Like the ones on Millionaire that flunk out on the first question? Or the guy on Jeopardy who can tell you some shit about rocket science but is completely clueless when it comes to the pop culture trivia? Come on, don't tell me I'm the only loser who yells at game shows.

 

Oh yeh i recognise it. Never knew who sung it tho so i would have won jack on that quiz lol.

 

i'm pretty sure they intentionally find morons to appear on game shows so the viewers can feel better about themselves and are thus more likely to watch again.

everybody on the planet knows louie louie.

 

That guy who hosts the show sure is fucking good at finding morons on the street, lol. I guess it wouldn't be hard in NYC. With so many people, it's like pulling red M&M's out of a bag with 60 red M&M's and two blue ones.

 

Those people are souly on there for entertainment value, some are prolly even actors, price is right for example, I've seen some way out of common sense type answers...

I don't care for TV, when I go through Netflix I find some series that look interresting, but that is just about it when it comes to watching TV.... unless it's Discovery channel.

 

I'm pretty sure that's the channel Cashcab is on...I'm pretty sure that's what channel the TV is on right now. Or the History channel. The TV seems to stay on one of those two channels until Adult Swim starts.

 

Adult Swim, I do actually like that too... I've just stayed away from the TV for a while, it's over rated IMO, not enough good stuff to pull me in, that and my addiction to HF... that keeps me away from TV too. :tongue:

 

I can't stand silence or the hum of the computer anytime but when I'm sleeping or first thing in the morning, so the TV is usually on, but it's normally educational...normally.

 

Around here quiet is a luxury, ahahaha.

I used to be the same way, I had to have the TV on... I'd fall asleep watching movies and stuff a lot, for some reason it's comforting, it's harder for me to sleep in the quiet, I think way too much... I get the best sleep with I smoke, and fall asleep during a movie.
