** Also received a 1998 one called ''The D Show'', a Disney-themed trivia game that played a lot like ''[=YDKJ=]'', with a more kid-friendly version of the series' quirky/snarky sense of humor.

Moving to YMMV


* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Slightly. The questions are just meant to be silly and mixes pop culture and real world facts to keep them from getting too dated. But a lot of them are very much products of their decades (90s, 2000s, 2010s, etc) and whatever's popular at the time in the media. The themed one (Sports, Movies, Television) are really hit by this the most since a lot of the questions are steeped in subjects from the 60's, 70s, 80s, and 90s culture and likely anyone who played them nowadays that were born in the 2000s onward likely wouldn't get the questions.

Dummied Out is now trivia. Moving examples accordingly.

Added DiffLines:

* DummiedOut: The first version of the iOS game. Jellyvision announced that this was done to replace it with a completely redone version.
** Some of the lines in ''The Ride'' are either really obscure or buried in the data files alive. Such as this one for the announcer:
--->''Welcome back to the show!''
** Then there's the infamous Fill-In-The-Blank question featuring [[spoiler:'''shadow puppet of a duck''']] which was intact in ''Louder! Faster! Funnier!''’s Foolin’ Around episode, but got cut from ''Mock 2'', since the latter was a console release. If you browse around the game's files, though, there are chances that you will see [[spoiler:'''shadow puppet of a duck''']] written in all caps.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Before the 2001 ABC version, an attempt had been made in 1996 to bring ''YDKJ'' to TV. Not much is known about it, other than Creator/WarnerBros produced it (via subsidiary Telepictures) in UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} (possibly because WGN-TV's [[Creator/WGNAmerica superstation feed]] acted as a national WB affiliate); game show veteran Ron Greenberg (''Series/TheBigShowdown'', ''Series/TheChallengers'') was also on board (it appeared in a reel of clips from unsold pilots, as part of a celebratory video created for Greenberg's birthday at some point).
