* Tomarken's astonished reaction at the end of Michael Larson's run.

'''Banks:''' Andre, I know [[YouKilledMyFather you didn't kill the Whammy's father]], but...

* August 10, 1984: The "[[https://youtu.be/0RM4cbC8Ti0 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...until she hit a Whammy on the ''ninth'' consecutive passed spin, and lost $31,408 and composure.

-->'''Peter:''' Don't call the Whammies "creeps" because I don't think they like it.
* Anytime the game ends with all 3 players having $0 and are eligible to return.

** February 5, 1986: Dorothy hit a Whammy on her final spin, which ended the game with all three constants with two Whammies and $0 each. This lead to one of the most bizarre and hilarious ending moments, which includes Wayne and Joe doing a bro high-five, Peter's HeroicBSOD and all 3 score displays flashing $0, as if the show was saying all 3 contestants won the game. To add to the bizarreness, the show even played the victory fanfare.

** Another one involves Whammy nervously working up the courage to light up a Christmas tree, which he does to his joy (with some encouragement from Banks)...[[YankTheDogsChain until a chipmunk comes out of the tree and attacks him, then he runs into the tree by accident]].

* 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, 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.

** Hitting "$[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!]]"

* For the first holiday special on December 6, 2022, no less than four holiday Whammy animations got played:

** Yet another is a chorus of Whammy carolers who sing about the contestant losing all their money before being run over by a snow plow. This is made all the more ironic by the fact that the contestant in question had won private carolers as a prize, minutes before.

* June 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.

** One features Whammy as Santa Claus taking off with a money bag as he wishes "Merry Christmas, dorks!". Elizabeth Banks was offended that he didn't need to [[BitingTheHandHumor insult everyone]].
** Another has Whammy as [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Ebeneezer Scrooge]] stating that he's had a change of heart and took all the money for Tiny Tim Whammy, whom he leaves with to buy him a poney.

** The last one involves Whammy nervously working up the courage to light up a Christmas tree, which he does to his joy (with some encouragement from Banks)...[[YankTheDogsChain until a squirrel comes out of the tree and attacks him, then he runs into the tree by accident]].

--->'''Banks:''' I have no idea how that Whammy got approved by Standards and Practices.

-->'''Whammy:''' All I hear is "Big Bucks! Big Bucks!" — I've got your big [[{{Pun}} buck]]! (''deer walks on-screen'') Heh, heh.

* January 8, 1985: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oid5AKrj-ww Peter demonstrates a use for the Flokati rug]]

-->'''Whammy:''' All I hear is "Big Bucks! Big Bucks!" — I've got your big [[Pun buck]]! (''deer walks on-screen'') Heh, heh.

* February 27 and 28, 1985: Scott Haven would say "No little red men!" when it was his turn to spin, [[InnocentlyInsensitive unaware]] that he was repeating an ethnic slur against Native Americans. It got to the point where [[RootingForTheEmpire the audience chanted "Whammy" during his second game and cheered when he finally hit one]]! (Scott's first appearance ended with him netting zero Whammies and nearly $16,000 in winnings.)
