Added a joke Peter made at the end of the Larson episode.


* The commentary that Peter offers over a freeze-frame at the end of the first half of Michael Larson's game:
-->'''Peter Tomarken''': Will Michael hit a Whammy? Will the Whammy hit Michael? Will Michael pass his spins? Or will he end up owning the network?
* Followed by his astonished comment when the game finally ended and the show cut to its last commercial break:
-->'''Peter Tomarken''': We'll be back. We'll be back sometime.

* 2020:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CN5w6vrFYM One Whammy animation]] from the second season of the revival has a chorus of Whammies singing "[[SophisticatedAsHell You suck]]!" to the tune of ''The Beautiful Blue Danube''.
** They also now have animations when the contestant hits a whammy without any cash. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RGss1o8Sjs In one]] the whammy comes out only to do a WildTake when he realizes the contestant doesn't have any money. He then stands there and goes "Well, this is awkward."
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veBGI75YPbI A particularly ridiculous one]] features Tammy Whammette ''giving birth to a wad of cash'' while being encouraged by Whammy, and as soon as he catches it, Tammy says "It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and it's all mine!". The two then laugh together. Even Elizabeth Banks was left stunned by that one.

** "$[X] or Lose-1-Whammy" if a contestant chooses the latter option. The Whammy on the contestant's podium goes back down while the Whammy screams "[[BigNo NO!]]"

* July 14, 2022: A Whammy is hit two spins into the game, which triggers an animation that has a Whammette inform Whammy at his dressing room that he's on, but he's not ready yet. He calls out Elizabeth Banks for this, states that he can't work in these conditions, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere and storms off]]. The kicker is, none of the contestants land on a Whammy for the rest of the game.
