2* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBUM0fM2Qdc This episode's Big Sweep]] (from 1994) has Michael of Team 3, who uses some Rubbermaid pails to do his shopping at first, and then, right before time runs out, he manages to get a bonus across the red line, only to nearly crash into David in his haste; Johnny Gilbert even goes "Look out, David!"
3* The closing seconds to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRAigvzrHJg this Canadian sweep]]: "Here comes Michelle! Watch out! Whoa! *Thud* What a landing!" Cue host Tino Monte being unable to cut to a commercial due to serious {{Corpsing}}.
4* During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiduEQtNsNg this Big Sweep from 1991]], David gets hit ''twice'' [[GroinAttack in the plums]] with shopping carts, the second just before time expires. He tries to walk it off the first time, and after the second his voice is noticeably higher.
5* 1991: A question round had David singing the lines to a song with a grocery item blanked out. One had "Go tell Aunt Rhody/The old gray (blank) is dead." Incorrect guesses of "mare" and "dog" prompt a rare WhatTheHellPlayer reaction from David.[[note]]Answer: Goose.[[/note]]
6-->'''David''': Which market do ''you'' shop at!?
7* 1991: During one Three Right playing, one question had the slogan "Everybody's (blank) dipping." Instead of saying "Skippy", one contestant accidentally said "[[NakedPeopleAreFunny Skinny]]" and couldn't correct herself because she was so consumed with laughter. Another contestant did buzz in with the correct answer, and David even gave a sarcastic "Thank you!" in response.
8* On an episode of ''Dale's Supermarket Sweep'', a shopper goes down one aisle and throws an item from each display up in the air. He doesn't stop to grab any that misses his cart. What sells it is the announcer's reaction.
9-->'''Announcer''': Would you like to be rescued by this man!?
10* December 13, 2020: The game is all about rushing items in your cart to win altogether, but [[https://youtu.be/RmEeqpz7SQE a contestant named Charles]] opts to use his sweet time like he’s actually at the supermarket. This causes the host, Leslie Jones, to really [[WhatTheHellPlayer lose it]] for not playing the game right. Special kudos for the editing team for giving him a personalized shopping theme while this is happening.
11-->'''Leslie''': (one of her reactions when she looks at Charles) No, '''NO!''' This is not the way you do this! Charles, what you looking for? '''CHARLES! PUT STUFF IN THE CART!!!'''
12-->'''Leslie''': (after revealing that their team score is $733) Man, you would have even lost with that in the 90s.
