Line #6 Funny/TheNewlywedGame


1	----
2	* Late 1960s: Bob Eubanks asks the wives what their husband's favorite kind of gas is. It quickly gets out of control when the first wife asked keeps coming up with "the rectal gas", and despite the fact that the judge wouldn't accept it, she couldn't think of another answer.
3	* One of Eubanks' favorites was a DumbBlonde who was baffled at the terms "rural" and "urban" after being asked which one described her husband better. Eubanks asked whether the doctor had given him anything for his urban, and she said "Well, he [[NoodleIncident gave me something]]!"
4	* "In our house, the power flows from the [blank] to the [what]?" "From the plug to the vibrator." This one is so out there that it's often said to be fictitious, but clips of it invariably turn up on blooper specials.
5	* 1977: Bob asks the husbands "Where specifically will your wife say is the weirdest place that she personally has ever gotten the urge to make whoopie?" Hank answers "In the car on the freeway" which gets raucous laughter from the audience. When it comes time for his wife Olga to answer the question, she hesitates before saying "In the ass?" The audience laughs even harder at this as Bob tries in vain to tell her they're asking for a ''location''. She doesn't think of anything else and gets buzzed out. Bob has long since denied this event happened until a clip surfaced in the late 90s.
6	* 1978: Pat & Charlie Berg, an older couple who heavily resembled (and sounded like!) [[Series/AllInTheFamily Archie and Edith Bunker]]. They also gave us the famous "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPILhFrwY1c Closet Queen]]" moment.
7	* Question to the wives: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blATm1sBneM What's the first thing your husband does before he goes to bed?]]"
8	* Another classic moment from the ABC era had a husband recalling an experience where he, knowing that his wife hated spiders, put a rubber spider in the shower where she was, making her run out of the shower. The wife then said, "This was before we were married!" [[OhCrap just before realizing what she had revealed on national television]].[[note]]At the time, living together pre-marriage was [[ValuesDissonance frowned upon]].[[/note]]
9	* When Eubanks asked a wife how many decades old her mother-in-law was, the wife answered that she had no idea what a decade was, and so she guessed ten. When her husband came out and was asked the same question, he ''also'' had no idea what a decade was, but miraculously guessed '''ten''' as well! StrangeMindsThinkAlike.
10	* "Gentlemen, what is your favorite pasta?" One husband says, "Uh, flat on my stomach, looking at the TV screen...", [[JustForFun/IThoughtThatWas since he apparently misheard it as "posture"]].
11	* This one:
12	-->'''Eubanks:''' What is your favorite part of our ''Newlywed Game'' set?
13	-->'''Husband #3:''' Probably "Wife #2". ''(he laughs)''
14	-->'''Wife #3:''' Jim! ''(she chuckles and elbows him playfully)''
15	* Awkwardness Ensues:
16	-->'''Eubanks:''' What is your husband's favorite thing to squeeze in the supermarket?
17	-->'''Female contestant:''' I'll say his meat.
18	-->''(Bob and the audience laugh)''
19	-->'''Female contestant:''' [[ThatCameOutWrong He's a butcher]].
20	* Another example of a CMOF:
21	-->'''Eubanks:''' Ladies, what will your husband say is his favorite rodent?
22	-->'''Female contestant:''' What's a rodent?
23	-->'''Eubanks:''' ''(laughing)'' His favorite kind of a rodent.
24	-->'''Female contestant:''' His [[TooDumbToLive saxophone]].
25	-->''(Bob, the other contestants, and the audience erupt into laughter)''
26	* Another CMOF:
27	-->'''Eubanks:''' Ladies, in what country will your husband say the last foreign car he drove in was manufactured?
28	-->'''Female contestant:''' The United States? ''(Smiles as the audience laughs)''
29	-->'''Eubanks:''' [[CaptainObvious That's not a foreign country.]]
30	-->'''Female contestant:''' Ummm, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Texas]].
31	-->'''Eubanks:''' [[BigWhat Texas!!!]] ''(begins laughing with the audience)''
32	* "Gentlemen, what would your wife say your neighbors have more of than you?". One husband answers "cars", but his wife guessed "grass". She says, "They have more grass...", [[OhCrap but when she realizes]] [[ThatCameOutWrong what she said]], she adds, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial "We have none!"]] making him say, "I wouldn't bet on that!"
33	* Bob asks the couples for the name of the Chinese restaurant closest to their house or apartment:
34	-->'''Husband:''' Well, for one thing, I don't like Chinese food.
35	-->'''Eubanks:''' That's okay, we just wanna know the name of the restaurant.
36	-->'''Husband:''' But she never lets me forget.
37	-->'''Eubanks:''' Oh, good.
38	-->'''Husband:''' Um...
39	-->(''everyone laughs'')
40	* "Where is the busiest place you and your husband have ever made whoopie?" One wife guesses "[her] apartment", while her husband guessed "a drive-in movie". When she stares at him in puzzlement, he says, "Oh, maybe that wasn't you...", making her scream "IT WASN'T ME!" and gasp in shock while he laughs with a shit-eating grin. If that didn't lead to a divorce, who knows what would?[[note]]([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4bogN3cB2Y Turns out that there really wasn't anyone at the drive-in, and that they remained married for over 40 years after that.]])[[/note]]
41	* "What was the last Jewish food you ate?"
42	** One husband answers "chow mein", [[PekingDuckChristmas which is somewhat true]].
43	** One of the wives answers "corn", although her husband gave the logical answer "bagels", making his wife ask, "Bagels? What are bagels?" But when Bob asks him to explain what bagels are, he answers, "I don't know, I'm Mormon."
44	** One husband says, "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint I haven't been Jewish in a long time]]!"
45	* 1980s edition: "Gentlemen, how would your wife complete this sentence: 'Every morning, I usually find my husband's [blank] on my [what]'?" One husband, an elderly man, says, "I'd probably find my teeth on her sink!".
46	** Similarly, in the 1960s/1970s edition, Bob asked the wives, "After your wedding, would your husband say he did or did not carry you over the threshold?". One wife, an elderly woman named Florence, answered, "He didn't because he couldn't!"
47	* Both times where Bob said "25-point [[FreudianSlip Boner]]" instead of "Bonus Question".
48	* One question was "What's the one thing you wouldn't want to hear your wife say about your last girlfriend on coast-to-coast television?" One woman responded by saying that her husband's last girlfriend was a hooker, to which her husband reacted by saying "Oh (BLEEP)!" What makes this even funnier is that the husband was a sailor.
49	-->'''Eubanks:''' Never had that answer before!
50	* This moment:
51	-->'''Eubanks:''' Gentlemen, how would your wives say you would complete this sentence: "The next time my wife leaves her [blank] on my [what], I'm gonna toss that sucker out a window"?\
52	'''Male contestant:''' Her... dress.\
53	'''Eubanks:''' On your...?\
54	''(Contestant is trying hard not to laugh)''\
55	'''Male contestant:''' [[WholesomeCrossdresser Body]]!
56	** Even better, this turns into a BrickJoke as Bob asks the wife for confirmation, and she happily agrees with the story, even agreeing that he'll try on her lingerie.
57	* A contestant who gave Main/TooMuchInformation in his answer and in the process misused the word "commemorate".
58	-->'''Eubanks:''' Gentlemen, what is the last thing you commemorated? Robert.\
59	'''Robert:''' The doctor took Janet off pills because they're messing up her system, so... we don't... now, listen. We don't wanna have any kids, so once a month, we commemorate!
60	* A contestant who isn't afraid to admit she's a bad cook.
61	-->'''Eubanks''': What will your husband say is the last spice or flavor you used too much of in one of your home cooked dishes?\
62	'''Jenna''': [[LethalChef Is burnt a flavor]]?\
63	'''Eubanks''': ''(looks at judge)'' They say no.
64	* Some husbands had no problem putting their foot in their mouth:
65	-->'''Eubanks:''' What Spanish word or phrase will your wife say best describes her bust?\
66	'''Husband:''' Nada.\
67	'''Eubanks:''' What kind of horse will your wife say her mother most resembles?\
68	'''Husband:''' How 'bout a donkey?
69	* During a maternity special, Bob asks the husbands what else took place the day their wives conceived aside from the obvious. One admits that his wife [[AMistakeIsBorn forgot her pill]], and she [[OhCrap buries her face]].
70	* Bob asks one wife how many times she thinks her husband made whoopie, and how many of those times with her. She rattles off ''3,500'' for both parts to his 200.
71	* Bob asks the wives what they think their husbands will say is the one gripe they have about their husbands' romantic techniques. One poor woman tries to say that there isn't any, but Eubanks says she must give one. She settles on "[[FreudianSlip It's not long enough]]" and [[ThatCameOutWrong tries in vain to take it back]].
72	* "How long will your husband say his inseam is?" A wife who looks like she may not have even heard of the term says, "[[AccidentalInnuendo Seven inches]]."
73	* TooMuchInformation from one word.
74	-->'''Eubanks''': What will your husband say is the last thing he loaded?\
75	'''Contestant''': Me.
76	* A husband is asked how long his first kiss lasted, to which he says five seconds. His wife previously said 45 seconds, and he blurts out "45 seconds!? ''That'' was my brother!"
77	* Eubanks finds out about an interesting night between a couple.
78	-->'''Eubanks''': What's the very last thing you said to your wife during a whoopie session that had absolutely nothing to do with whoopie?\
79	'''Contestant''': "Wake up"?
80	* Bob asks the wives if they have any advice for other couples looking to make whoopie in the same spot where they had their first romantic encounter. One of them says, "[[AutoErotica Look out for the stickshift]]."
81	* This one, where two contestants fail to understand what an “anchorman” was:
82	-->'''Eubanks:''' What will your husband say is his favorite anchorman? \
83	'''Contestant 1:''' I’d have to say [[Music/ElvisPresley Elvis]]. \
84	'''Contestant 2:''' Series/DanielBoone?
85	* Even more or so, there are contestants who can give out an absurd answer, regardless of what question it is.
86	-->'''Eubanks:''' What’s your favorite thing to buy by the foot? Kathy. \
87	'''Kathy:''' I guess [[LiteralMinded shoes]]. \
88	'''Eubanks:''' What is your favorite thing to masticate? Tom. \
89	'''Tom:''' Masticate. Uh - [[EmergencyFoodSupplyAnimal the dog]].
