well, technically they both answered the first question correctly. Both frog and alligator have three letters...they just have a bunch of extra letters.
I saw one episode where a man was asked what is the most popular pet, he said an Aardvark. Then he was asked at what month in pregnancy does a woman start showing, And he said September. like the song says, The world is full of stupid people!
i think ppl just say stuff like that cuz you're pretty much being rushed. so you dont have time to think and stuff just comes out of your mouth XD honestly i think if i was to do it. it would happen to me.
Richard seemed upset about these idiots rather than just laughing it off. I bet he couldn't wait for it to be over so he could get a drink. ALLIGATOR????
"You can not and YOU DO NOT want to duplicate his answers" Lol. The second Bob should have went first, and I would have died laughing if the host said it
Actually, back then, the second teammate was allowed to listen to the questions and first person's answers. So the second guy knew he was going to lose so he did those answers as a joke
Okay, about the alligator answer. He explained why he made the mistake, so it's not THAT dumb. He said "I thought you meant name an animal with the same three letters in its name." Meaning, three letters repeated in a name. He's under pressure of time, on TV, and the brain works quickly, regardless of being right or wrong. The brain reacts as quick as it can. Believe it or not, there is logic in his answer, because his brain reacted in a millisecond. It was wrong, but it was a reaction to solve a given problem as quick as possible.
Blue Beetle Are you dumb? The question had nothing to do with frog and alligator having the same 3 letters. Frog's letters are all different, and alligator doesn't have more than 2 of the same letter repeated (2 of the letter A, 2 Of the letter L, 1 I, 1 G, 1 R, 1 O, and 1 T). He thought it meant the animal had to have 3 of the same letter repeated, Which alligator doesn't, and neither does frog. The 2nd guy also doesn't know the 1st guy's answers, so he had no idea the 1st guy said frog. You, sir, are an idiotic nincompoop.
This guy Bob is the same one that Richard Dawson in an earlier round asked "What is Russia famous for?" And he replied "Russians." Truly, either the worlds dumbest family or the worlds funniest family - or both.
Well to be fair "Name an animal with 3 letter in it's name" is a pretty stupid way to formulate the question. It should have been "name a 3 letter animal" or "name an animal with only 3 letters in it's name (maybe they thought 3 letters meant 3 DIFFERENT letters)....nevertheless a normal person would know what is meant by it either way.
llama and deer are three letter animals, so your version of the question is wrong. They wanted something that only has 3 letters in the name not one that uses only three letters- like cat or dog.
Richard Dawson said "Name an animal with 3 letters in its name". Well, logically a frog and an alligator both have 3 letters. They are not the only letters, but Richard Dawson didn't specify "name an animal with ONLY 3 letters in its name"
tutinrolling It's amazing to watch these guys split hairs. The winning answers had three letters in the name as well. Nothing more, nothing less. The game is based on the survey answers, not any one right answer. If the contestants misinterpreted the question well then f*ck em'. They're idiots.
A lot of talk about this question. "Name an animal with three letters in it's name". The CORRECT answer is all of them with over three letters in its name. The question was not "Name an animal with ONLY three letters in their name". Thus all animals with three or more letters will qualify.
What's really amazing is that Richard gives the impression during this that the day before they were really good on there!! I've seen the whole of this episode, but I wish we could someday see the other shows this family was in.
If anybody wants to argue semantics, one could say that both Frog and Alligator do have 3 letters in their names, however the complete spelling requires more than three.
I agree and you're correct., though the statement is a little misleading, Under pressure, live on stage with millions watching, any question can easily be misinterpreted. "Name an animal with 3 letters in it's name" Technically, Frog has three letters in it, with an additional letter. (F. R. O. or G.) The appropriate (question) Should have been... "Name an animal with ONLY 3 letters in it's name". Let's add a twist to the original question. "Name an animal with 3 letters in it's name and name the fourth letter? The 4th letter, WTF? Your Answer; Alligator. the fourth letter i. Technically, you're correct. LOL. Fun.
That host is hilarious, you don't see a host like that in today's game shows. "You don't use narcotics, do you?" would probably get you fired, and then his answer was priceless "No, but I will" "Football, you gotta give him that!... Anyman who says 'alligator', you gotta give it to him!" Very funny piece!
kiyonexus Bob Barker used to have female contestants reach into his pocket for money (called the $100 pocket). He never had the men do it. Furthermore, many of the women would stick their head out to get a kiss from Richard-they wanted him to kiss them, before he started to do it they would request a kiss. Plus it was not just the pretty ones, he would normally kiss any of the women. Barker apparently kept trying to sleep with all the models on the show and there were some out of court sexual harassment settlements.
CRAVEN MOREHEAD I told this to kiyonexus and i will tell you: Bob barker kept trying to sleep with the models and had to pay out of court settlements to some of them because of sexual harassment. Furthermore, not to single out the female contestants there was the $100 pocket where the women and only the women had to actually reach into his pocket (never know what else you might feel). As for Dawson-women were asking his to give them a kiss even before he started doing so most of the time on the show. Hell, a few even grabbed him (one woman grabbed his butt while they were checking to see how many points she had accumulated in the final round). If a woman did not want to get kissed by Dawson they could pull away, say no thank you or shake his hand. Bob Barker was worse than Dawson sorry to tell you.
As if these guys weren't bad enough already - to top it all off at 2:55, when Richard tells him the number one answer of "dog", he STILL doesn't get it for another 10 seconds!
The second man said he misheard the first question, he thought Richard said "same letters in its name." Several times I've seen lot of "stupid" answers on the show that have been merely a result of mishearing or misinterpreting the question.
Whenever I'm depressed, I watch this video to cheer me up! So hilarious and I'd love to know whether or not these two ever heard the end of this monumental embarrassment.
My Turn An animal with three letters in its name: Ass (i.e a donkey; no points but still humorous) Something you find in a fridge: Milk Brand of Gasoline: Exxon (I personally prefer filling up at Sunoco, but Exxon would get a lot of points on Feud) Something that comes with a summer storm: Lightning (I grew up in Florida, so I know what a summer storm is like) Sport with an All-Star game: Basketball
At first I started to crack up when Richard pull the second contestant back to the mic. But I completely lost my mind the second contestant said Alligator.
The question about an animal with three letters reminds me of an incident on "What's My Line?" when a woman who dealt in some way with crabs was a contestant. One of the panelists asked, "Does this animal have two legs?" Host Wally Bruner answered yes, and the panel became hopelessly confused; a crab has six legs. Afterwards, Gil Fates asked Wally why he gave the yes when obviously what the panelist meant was, "Is this a two-legged animal?" Wally said, "Well, if it has six legs, it has two, right?" Fates tried to argue but Wally shut him up with, "OK, boss, you tell me, am I supposed to answer the question they ask or the question I think they meant to ask?" Fates admitted he had no answer to that one.
1:20: Good ol' Richard Dawson. "You cannot and DO NOT WANT TO duplicate his answers ....." So "Dad" came up with a few that were even more outrageously stupid ..... such as "Alligator." LOL
look into it a bit more, the older fridges had the ice box located in the fridge itself, not a separated compartment like nowadays, it was just a thin piece of tin or some such screwed to the top of the fridge, and when you opened the door, there was the ice
What's scary is that to get to Fast Money, they had to win the game. That means there's a dumber family out there, people...
Something you find in a refrigerator. NAKED GRANDMA.
Son of Jesus naked huh??!?!
"You don't use narcotics, do you, Bob?"
"No, but I will."
DiabeticTurtle Yup - that's the best bit. He's obviously not all that slow-witted :-)
DiabeticTurtle Bahahaha!! This was a funny answer! I died laughing!
They were both idiots, and yet somehow they beat the other team. That says something incredible about the other team.
Name an animal with 3 letters in its name!
You said "ALLIGATOR!"
It was a real tough one... "Dog" was the #1 answer.
I ALMOST FELL OUTTA MY CHAIR!
LOL!
BUT... What about Bob???
+Stuart K. Seels Loved that movie!!!
well, technically they both answered the first question correctly. Both frog and alligator have three letters...they just have a bunch of extra letters.
It's so funny when Richard said "You need 172points," and the guy almost walked off the stage.
You don't use narcotics do you, Bob?
No, but I will
+bradlbe ok only thing i got is narcotics (because i am ukrainian) and its called drugs dude
bradlbe
Bob's a true team player
Earlier before that the old man was asked "what is Russia famous for", he said "Russians"
that was actually a different episode
TheGamingTaco Still the same guy... Which is actually rather scary.
I saw one episode where a man was asked what is the most popular pet, he said an Aardvark.
Then he was asked at what month in pregnancy does a woman start showing, And he said September.
like the song says, The world is full of stupid people!
that was a woman that sais September
i think ppl just say stuff like that cuz you're pretty much being rushed. so you dont have time to think and stuff just comes out of your mouth XD honestly i think if i was to do it. it would happen to me.
They might have asked the same questions more than one episode.
Richard seemed upset about these idiots rather than just laughing it off. I bet he couldn't wait for it to be over so he could get a drink. ALLIGATOR????
He seemed incredulous and rightly so. And he created a lot of laughs, so I'm not sure what you're watching. Never question Richard Dawson.
"You can not and YOU DO NOT want to duplicate his answers" Lol. The second Bob should have went first, and I would have died laughing if the host said it
Actually, back then, the second teammate was allowed to listen to the questions and first person's answers. So the second guy knew he was going to lose so he did those answers as a joke
No, that's not true.
That's why he gave the same answer on the second question, right?
"You don't use narcotics do you Bob?"
Bob: no but i will. XD
He started to after this to wipe away his embarrassment.
im convinced the 2nd guy was giving bad answers on purpose knowing he had no way of winning. he couldnt have been that stupid.
Knowing his son was, the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
"The bad news is you need 172 points to win the money."
Guy: *goes to walk off stage XD
+greekfire995 yea I like that it was funny kinda like something I would end up doing
This is very funny but sad at the same time.
Richard Dawson and Steve Harvey are the best at moments like this, getting the contestants to laugh at themselves.
Just think, a family lost to this group
Okay, about the alligator answer. He explained why he made the mistake, so it's not THAT dumb. He said "I thought you meant name an animal with the same three letters in its name." Meaning, three letters repeated in a name.
He's under pressure of time, on TV, and the brain works quickly, regardless of being right or wrong. The brain reacts as quick as it can. Believe it or not, there is logic in his answer, because his brain reacted in a millisecond. It was wrong, but it was a reaction to solve a given problem as quick as possible.
David "Miscarriage" Miscavige Plus he's stupid.
David "Miscarriage" Miscavige But, alligator doesn't have 3 of the same letter repeated.
Thor Christensen He had to think quickly, so give him some slack
Blue Beetle Are you dumb? The question had nothing to do with frog and alligator having the same 3 letters. Frog's letters are all different, and alligator doesn't have more than 2 of the same letter repeated (2 of the letter A, 2 Of the letter L, 1 I, 1 G, 1 R, 1 O, and 1 T).

The 2nd guy also doesn't know the 1st guy's answers, so he had no idea the 1st guy said frog. You, sir, are an idiotic nincompoop.
Blue Beetle Well, firstly, I'm 14. Secondly, the second man had NO IDEA of the first guy's answer of frog, so your argument is flawed.
This guy Bob is the same one that Richard Dawson in an earlier round asked "What is Russia famous for?" And he replied "Russians." Truly, either the worlds dumbest family or the worlds funniest family - or both.
I love the tag line - dumbest family ever! LOL
I bet they were trolling :D
Especially alligator man
I never laughed so hard in my life! I love this! Especially the alligator part.
Name a animal with 3 letters in it's name--
Kangaroo......0
Porcupine.....0
Dinosaur.......0
Spider...........0
Horse............0
Dog, cat, rat, bat, pig, ape, cow, bee... Umm... Egg! No, wait... More drugs... Ok.
Man is an animal with three letters.
415 dollars for being stupid....sign me up!!!
That first guy is a total "A-yuk-yuk-yuk-yuk! Golly gee!" type. (0:45) for a visual aid.
Well to be fair "Name an animal with 3 letter in it's name" is a pretty stupid way to formulate the question. It should have been "name a 3 letter animal" or "name an animal with only 3 letters in it's name (maybe they thought 3 letters meant 3 DIFFERENT letters)....nevertheless a normal person would know what is meant by it either way.
Yeah and I think the type of gasoline question was really confusing actually.
llama and deer are three letter animals, so your version of the question is wrong. They wanted something that only has 3 letters in the name not one that uses only three letters- like cat or dog.
Richard Dawson said "Name an animal with 3 letters in its name". Well, logically a frog and an alligator both have 3 letters. They are not the only letters, but Richard Dawson didn't specify "name an animal with ONLY 3 letters in its name"
CCLGamer
exactly. you said it more simply than i did.
tutinrolling It's amazing to watch these guys split hairs. The winning answers had three letters in the name as well. Nothing more, nothing less. The game is based on the survey answers, not any one right answer. If the contestants misinterpreted the question well then f*ck em'. They're idiots.
Alligator doesn't even have three syllables, let alone just three letters LOL.
Actually, it does snow in a summer storm - a lot. Just not at ground level.
Ethyl... which I think you've been drinking. Lol! He's funnier than Steve Harvey.
How the hell you could keep ICE in a FRIDGE?!
Ice an water are technically the same thing.
I know that… but Ice needs a freezer. Water needs a fridge. difference.
orhugs
The point was that if ice is in the fridge it turns back into water so therefore they count that as the same.
-.- shady
It could be a very cold fridge
"A brand of gasoline"
Guy: "regular"
Hilarious 😂
and ethyl
Poor guy, the tension got him. :(
OMG I looove this! My fav episodes are "September" and "Alligator"
alligator dose fit 1,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,3
"You don't use narcotics do you Bob?"
"No, but I will"
Epic!
A lot of talk about this question. "Name an animal with three letters in it's name". The CORRECT answer is all of them with over three letters in its name. The question was not "Name an animal with ONLY three letters in their name". Thus all animals with three or more letters will qualify.
No one wants a dopey devil's advocate.
What's really amazing is that Richard gives the impression during this that the day before they were really good on there!! I've seen the whole of this episode, but I wish we could someday see the other shows this family was in.
What's really sad to me is that these people get in front of me when I drive...
***** I'd rather have them in front of me than behind me.
The Rockin' Donkey Excellent point
In France, there was a family that only scored 5 points !
If anybody wants to argue semantics, one could say that both Frog and Alligator do have 3 letters in their names, however the complete spelling requires more than three.
He meant ONLY three letters, each letter used once. Why is it so hard for people to understand?
Didn't make our survey
"you can not -and you do not want to- duplicate his answers" that was hilarious

"Name an animal with 3 letters in it's name" Technically, Frog has three letters in it, with an additional letter. (F. R. O. or G.) The appropriate (question) Should have been...

Seconded!
+Balze Negative one-ded.
That host is hilarious, you don't see a host like that in today's game shows. "You don't use narcotics, do you?" would probably get you fired, and then his answer was priceless "No, but I will"
"Football, you gotta give him that!... Anyman who says 'alligator', you gotta give it to him!" Very funny piece!
Is that host "Kilian" from "The Running Man."
yes
My grandmother and I used to watch this show; and we had so many good laughs over the crazy answers.
haha... Richard Dawson was the greatest game show host of all time... Bob Barker comes in second... both were naturals.
And Steve Harvey
kiyonexus Bob Barker used to have female contestants reach into his pocket for money (called the $100 pocket). He never had the men do it. Furthermore, many of the women would stick their head out to get a kiss from Richard-they wanted him to kiss them, before he started to do it they would request a kiss.

Ana Costellano you must have never seen the host of match game (1970s)
+Ana Costellano bob barker never man handled contestants
CRAVEN MOREHEAD I told this to kiyonexus and i will tell you: Bob barker kept trying to sleep with the models and had to pay out of court settlements to some of them because of sexual harassment.

Funny! "you don't want to duplicate answers.". As well as "you have got to give him that!". Dawson was hilarious. Best host of all these shows!
3 letters
Dog cow cat... and now what?
pig!
Bat
As if these guys weren't bad enough already - to top it all off at 2:55, when Richard tells him the number one answer of "dog", he STILL doesn't get it for another 10 seconds!
WHAT did they go against?
maybe it's just those two players
Exactly what I'm thinking. They must have given an answer of elephant to a question of name a type of cat.
I wonder if they won the next game and if so how well they did in fast money. I would hope they wouldn't put those two up there again.
Maybe he meant to say dog and accidently said frog. How the other guy said alligator who knows. Maybe they hire comedians for the show.
i love how the host trolls epicly. those were different, better times.
Cat or dog. Duh!
+Thomas Dickensheets But alligator does have three letters in its name... just not EXACTLY three letters.
+Thomas Dickensheets LOL!
shit even Rat wouldve been better lol
True!
"Name an animal with three letters in its name""Alligator"*Later On*"That was a real tough one""The top answer is.....""DOG!"...oml
THey should have said "Name an animal with ONLY 3 letters in it's name" Games fault really….
The second man said he misheard the first question, he thought Richard said "same letters in its name."
Several times I've seen lot of "stupid" answers on the show that have been merely a result of mishearing or misinterpreting the question.
he isn't wrong. alligator does have 3 letters in its name. so does frog. he never said only 3 letters in its name
+Jacob Esquivel dumbest family?... or smartest?
It doesn't meet the criteria. LOL!
When he tried to walk away, Richard should allow him to do it instead of playing the second round LOL.
So, your calling them stupid (as they are obviously trying to be comedic) yet you can't correctly spell feud?
He spelled it right at first, then spells it wrong second. I don't get it...
Whenever I'm depressed, I watch this video to cheer me up! So hilarious and I'd love to know whether or not these two ever heard the end of this monumental embarrassment.
Well technically there are 3 letters in frog and alligator. He didn't ask for an animal consisting solely of 3 letters :3
NEVER GETS OLD WATCHING RERUNS OF FAMILY FEUD WITH RICHARD DAWSON....LOVED HIM..RIP
My Turn
An animal with three letters in its name: Ass (i.e a donkey; no points but still humorous)
Something you find in a fridge: Milk
Brand of Gasoline: Exxon (I personally prefer filling up at Sunoco, but Exxon would get a lot of points on Feud)
Something that comes with a summer storm: Lightning (I grew up in Florida, so I know what a summer storm is like)
Sport with an All-Star game: Basketball
Good thing that old Bob didn't say toad or young Bob didn't say crocodile.
Was he thinking syllables, even then, ugh! Alligator? I fell out of my chair.
XD "Something that comes with summer?" "Snow"
A family feud video in my recommended box, there goes my day.
Richard was THEE !!! best host Feud ever had. The man was a scream.
1:06 Dwight D. Eisenhower? Is that you?
This Family Looks like they were one Taco short of a Fiesta Plate...
The guy that said alligator was probably thinking "4 syllables"
Alligator!!!
Cracks me up every time.
"Something that comes with a Summer storm"
"Snow!"
LOL XD
Steve Harvey would go insane with the alligator response
I died. This was so adorable I couldn't even be mad at the dumb.
Was the second contestant Dwight David Eisenhower ????
At first I started to crack up when Richard pull the second contestant back to the mic. But I completely lost my mind the second contestant said Alligator.
The question about an animal with three letters reminds me of an incident on "What's My Line?" when a woman who dealt in some way with crabs was a contestant.

Fates admitted he had no answer to that one.
To be honest... If there from Michigan... We sometimes get snow in the summer... Definitely hail.
What is the last name of this family? I have to see them from start to finish! =P
1:20: Good ol' Richard Dawson. "You cannot and DO NOT WANT TO duplicate his answers ....." So "Dad" came up with a few that were even more outrageously stupid ..... such as "Alligator." LOL
well depends... if you are in Alaska does a summer storm then have the small chance of having snow?
I read on Snopes that the entire family was caught using narcotics that night and ended up in jail and missed the next nights show.
These answers are cleverly incorrect
7/10 made me laugh
I love the fact that when the show host said that 2 people would have to say that, the next person did... :)
Technically a summer storm could have snow if it's close enough to the poles. :P
is it me or are the people on stage gold that look gold?!
that had me cracking up.. alligator WTF
"You said Alligator" I find the way he says that hilarious
I just about died. That was hilarious.
when i first heard the question, my first answer was hippopotamus
I woke up my wife laughing when he said "Alligator!".
This is very funny. Naturally funny! I dont think they are dumb. Its the pressure.
Animal with 3 letters "ALLIGATOR!"
"You don't use narcotics, do you bob?" - Priceless
40 years later and they still give 5.00 a point. I guess the show doesnt have popularity like it did back then to warrant a good budget.
2:33 "No, but I will!" makes this worth watching
how can this be the dumbest family when they beat another family to get to Fast Money?
look into it a bit more, the older fridges had the ice box located in the fridge itself, not a separated compartment like nowadays, it was just a thin piece of tin or some such screwed to the top of the fridge, and when you opened the door, there was the ice
