Title: Pyramid: Unused Winner's Circle Categories
Post by: WarioBarker on April 13, 2010, 12:34:18 AM
Much like the Wheel of Fortune list, I thought I'd try to start up a list of categories you'd never see on Pyramid...and some that really shouldn't have been on the show, but were. If anybody wants to chip in on either count, go ahead!

Categories the show never touched:
* Why You Fail
* What Air Would Say
* Countries Surrounding Pakistan
* Things Found In Al Capone's Vault
* Unused Winner's Circle Categories (:P)
* Smells Found In The Back Of A Bus
* Failed Shows Developed By Fred Silverman
* Things To Which You Might Lose A Key
* What Dana Carvey's Left Butt Cheek Might Say
* Programs Gary Coleman Has Appeared On Through A Cameo

==========
Categories that were actually used during the show's history:
* Used Car Dealers You Can Trust (~)
* Hit Shows On NBC-TV (~)
* Oil Companies In Bankruptcy (~)
* Famous Japanese Rabbis (~)
* Things Kissinger Did Not Foul Up (~)
* Famous Italian TV Directors (~)
* Things That Are Enshrined (#)
* Things Associated With Morse Code (^)
* Why You Grow A Mustache (^)
* Famous Sculptures (^)
* Brown Foods (^)
* Why Your Soufflé Falls (or Fails; don't quite know which is correct)
* Why You Have A C-Section
* Colors In The Olympic Rings
* What Regis' Coffee Cup Might Say
* What Tom Cruise's Dentist Might Say
* At least one of the categories in this 2004 Winner's Circle (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXsY_qZLjMo")

(~) -- Used in the "...if we wanted to save the money" Winner's Circle (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtkXOtN_eHM") (June 27, 1980) which, despite not being a "genuine" Winner's Circle, had the same camera angles.
(#) -- Denotes a category that was actually guessed. "Things That Are Enshrined" clinched the tenth $100,000 win (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDpCQsVUyCw") (January 19, 1988), which is also one of the few wins I know of where the contestant gave the clues.
(^) -- Used in this Winner's Circle (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOFtfmQgfwg") (May 18, 2004). Unlike the above, the contestant gave the clues but had absolutely no chance of getting any of these, which were the only ones revealed before time ran out.

I'll kick in a few of my own ridiculous categories though.

-Ten-letter words
-Things that are there
-Things that "it is"
-You give it up for Lent
-Words with double meanings
-City names that end with "City"

We had a Pyramid party night a while back, and as a gag, the $300 (top category) subject was "(Names of) MGM Lions".  Unfortunately for me, I killed the spirit of the gag by rattling off some of the names: Slats, Jackie, Coffee, Tanner, Al-Morah, Leo, etc.  Long story short, my partner got the Lions part of the subject (probably because I emphasized the word Leo several times), but couldn't nail down the MGM part.  Needless to say, we lost, but the joke somewhat wound up back on the subject issuers, but made for some really good post-mortem conversation.  

Then again, I am an excellent clue giver.  I remember playing Pyramid with one guy who gave the correct subject "Things on a Track" after I gave the clue "streetwalker prostitutes."  Go figure...

Going to play out a technicality here.  The box is "What Flipper might say", not "What *A* Flipper might say".  Chris - is your clue technically legal?  Seems like it probably wouldn't be, since "Flipper" was clearly a thing and "a flipper" is something completely different.

Methinks you're missing the point. One can come up with *a* clue for damned near all of these. But if you have to say "hey, here's a clue, and it fits the category because of this oh-so-clever loophole I found in your logic," then it's not really a clue worth giving, is it?
