* April 14, 1985: The question put forth was along the lines of "Which ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' character says sufferin' succotash?" All three contestants said Sylvester the Cat, which was the right answer. However, Peter said they all got it wrong and that it was actually ''Daffy Duck'' who said that. After the second commercial break, Creator/MelBlanc himself called the show (in-character as Sylvester, also doing his Speedy Gonzalez and Porky Pig voices) to call them out on their blatant CriticalResearchFailure, pointing out that yes, Daffy has said "sufferin' succotash" in the past, but he actually stole that line from him to boost his popularity. Peter then promised to go through the Warner Bros. office in the future to fact-check any ''Looney Tunes''-related questions.

* June 26, 1984: The last question of round 1 "In a recent study of college aged students, when asked what human quality is the most important, what ranked first?" After no one buzzes in, Peter responds with "Evidently, it wasn't quickness."

* March 23, 1984: Peter dances along with the Michael Jackson Whammy.

'''Michael:''' $50-bill.\\

* The Whammy that [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] contestants' cries of "Big Bucks!" by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyjLNt3EMTE&t=8m29s bringing out]] [[VisualPun a large deer]]. It's even more amusing when you realize that the Whammies were generally voiced by franchise creator Bill Carruthers.

* October 22, 1984: Mabel [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_9AO2EOA58 won by default]] because the two other contestants hit four Whammies. Unfortunately, her score was $0, which caused Peter to stumble around a bit in total disbelief. When the show returned from break and he had composed himself:

* The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUjkPHltzNA Spin Battle]]" between Cathy and Lori. The two just ''could not'' stop landing on "$X + One Spin" spaces and passing the extra spins back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, with Cathy growing more and more incredulous the longer the spin-passing stretched on...[[spoiler:until she hit a Whammy on the ''ninth'' consecutive passed spin, and lost her entire bank and composure]].

-->''Peter Tomarken''': We'll be back. We'll be back sometime.

'''Peter:''' —of what American ''coin''? ''(Michael [[OhCrap winces and looks down in disbelief]])''[[note]]Answer: Dime.[[/note]]

* Some of the Whammies, including one that [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] contestants' cries of "Big Bucks!" by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZN9hk2eDdM&t=6m40s bringing out]] [[VisualPun a large deer]].

'''Rod:''' Bupkis!

* March 12, 1986: Peter [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEjaoQsPaCk#t=5m25s imitates the windsurfer from the Bahamas prize film.]]

* The Facebook game has one: If ''none of the players'' on a "Whammy Round" question ''get it wrong'' -- either by answering correctly or using a wildcard to pass on it -- the Whammy walks out, sad and hands in his pockets. He then pulls the pockets out to reveal they're empty, and then kneels on the ground and has a round of silent InelegantBlubbering. His tears almost fill the space...only for a hand to come from above and pull out a stopper plug on the floor, draining the tears (and the Whammy) off the screen.

* On the series, whenever a contestant landed on an UndesirablePrize (say, a [[RunningGag Flokati Rug]]), Peter would ask "Stop at a [undesirable prize]! ''What'' is an [undesirable prize]?!"
