  • Late 1960s: Don Rickles plays on behalf of a young lady. As you can probably guess, Hilarity Ensues.
  • When asked how he spells "relief", one bachelor responded "F-A-R-T".
  • A bachelorette asked one of the bachelors to beat-box. All three of them started to do so. To add to the levels of humor, the first bachelor ended up being Cuba Gooding Jr..
  • November 21, 1978: Andy Kaufman pretends to be a confused foreigner named Baji Kimran. For example, a role-play question about Santa Claus.
  • 1973: On the episode with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Arnold gives his measurements ("Biceps 22 inches, Chest 57, Waist 33, and Thighs 29") and asks one of the bachelorettes what they have in common. The bachelorette guesses, "You get smaller as you go down?"
    • Then his question for another one:
    Arnold: I've only been in this country five years, and there are some expressions I still don't understand. What does it mean, "hanky panky"?
    Bachelorette: Well, let's see if you understand this: "Playing around".
    Arnold: Playing around with what?
  • Date unknown: One girl addresses "Bachelor number five", only to be told there are only three bachelors. She then says, "Aw, that's a shame!"
  • Date unknown: A bachelor asked a mother to tell them what reminded them about their daughter to the moment they had their first date. The mother mentioned that she didn’t have much memorized, but quipped “except maybe she likes to park?”note
