What is your favorite?

Big Falldown. Nuff said.

To the best of my knoledge, the lady who practically went "topless" while entering Contestant's Row from TPIR back in the late '70's or early '80's. WHOOPS! I guess CBS nearly caught that one before it truly got "exposed".

It was on the pricing game "Master Key" that Bob did his Chuck Norris-esque karate chop.

You make it sound like the contestant who said that did so with authority and pride, which wasn't really the case.
As for one of my favorite bloopers, Chuck Barris destroying the GONG curtain during the final week of the NBC daytime run ranks right up there.

For me, GR's "dimples/nipples" screw up was one of the most hilarious bloopers ever...game show or otherwise.
ITSBRY
-
It wasn't exactly a "blooper" per se, but when Carol Burnett's on TTTT introducing Garry Moore, and his chair is missing when he goes to sit down and falls on the floor.
-
To settle this rather odd argument, Barker has kicked both Squeeze Play and Master Key. I don't know of a time that he ever "attacked" Ten Chances.
-
And IIRC, he's kicked Squeeze Play twice.
Fave blooper: either Patricia Bernard or Dick Clark accidentally throwing away a piece of paper of The $20,000 Pyramid. What made the latter so funny was that the cameraman didn't tell Dick that he was on.
-
Speaking of Pyramid, a favorite of mine was when Vicki Lawrence got mad and left the $100,000 Pyramid set after struggling all week.

Some more from Price....
Janice and Rachel's car crashes, and the countless bloopers made by Holly.

Another one to throw to the list.
One word: "September".

3.) The "In the Butt, Bob" episode of The Newlywed Game
4.) Richard Dawson: "Name one of the three bears." Contestant: "Yogi."
5.) Contestant: "A Group of Pill-Pushers." Pat Sajak: "THIS IS WHEEL OF FORTUNE, JOE!!!"

9.) Roz kissing Ray Combs, leaving lipstick on his mouth
10.) Todd Newton: "What form of transportation is used in the Tour de France?" Contestant: "SUVs."
Other countries around the globe:
1.) The "Snake Charmer" puzzle on Catch Phrase in the UK
2.) A man responds "Turkey" to all five questions during the "Big Money" round on Family Fortunes
3.) On Hopp Oder Top (German $otC), host Thomy Aigner speaks English by proclaiming, "NO, I'M WRONG! I'M F***N WRONG!!"
4.) The two female contestants who wheezed on the Aussie Price is Right

We'd add that to the list.
Host-Isms, Spin-Offs and Bloopers. Just because one doesn't know what one is, doesn't mean one shouldn't list one's favorites.
And now, my favorite nude scene:
Geoff Edwards lifting his pant legs on an episode of Play The Percentages, exposing his socks and shins.

>> Geoff Edwards lifting his pant legs on an episode of Play The Percentages, exposing his socks and shins.
How soon we also forget Jim Perry pulling Gene Wood on stage to see if his socks matched? [Gene: "You guys in this audience are a little kinky, aren't you?!"] Probably the most classic CS78 moment, aside from Norma Brown's $28,800 run of the Money Cards.

Speaking of clothes shedding moments, one of my favorites(though I have never actually seen it), was when Bob Barker said something to the effect of: He would take off his shirt if the guy won his pricing game. The guy ended up winning, and needless to say: Bob revealed all... so to speak.

Adam, for you to be taken more seriously around here, you always say that people attack you - look at your posts before you make them, and ask yourself "Is this something that will make me look bad?" If so, either modify the post accordingly or don't post it at all.

No one said it that it didn't happen -- just as, to use Aaron's example, even those who haven't tasted chocolate ice cream know that it exists. (I speak from experience on this, as I was allergic to milk and chocolate until I was in high school. :-) The question is, how do you know if something is your favorite unless you've experienced it? It doesn't make sense.
Hint: if your answer is some variation of "well, it makes sense to me" then you're still not getting the point.

Here's one that no one ever mentions, probably because it's not neatly summed up in a few words. On a Monday on The $100,000 Pyramid, Dick Clark turned to Terry Lester and explained why Keif Farrendini, the defending champion, wasn't there. (She and Mr. Lester knew each other.) He then returned to the other team, who played their turn--without introducing Terry's partner. (On the Golden Pyramid Awards marathon from March 2002, this was one of the three nominees for Best Brain Freeze.)

Sorry dude, I think you're on your own on this one.[/quote]
Actually not.
'Twas the $100,000 Pyramid. When describing the Mystery 7 prize, he said something to the effect of, "If you get 7 out of 7, you will win a knew nineteen fifty-eight Chevrolet Chevette."
When questioned by the male celebrity (whose identity I can't recall at this point) and people backstage started yelling "'85!" at him, he asks, "What did I say?"
When told, he takes a couple steps back, embarrassed, and says that he's so used to talking about a '58 Chevy, it just came out like that.
So that's one on the plus side for Adam. One.
Note: It's been a while since the last time I saw this. It may have been '68 and '86, but it definitely happened; I've seen it with my own two eyes---multiple times. (And I think it actually was on one of the NBC specials.)

Dick was on Oprah's show in Spring 1997 to promote the American Bandstand coffee table book that came out around the time, as well as a FOX dramatic semi-reality series premiering that Fall whose title escapes me at the moment. It was during this interview Oprah made that slip of the tongue.

Here's the deal. It happened around '85 or so. The kid was a college kid, and he wore a shirt with words to the effect that "Bob, I'd give the shirt off my back to win". He gave Bob his shirt after he won the Showcase Showdown (not on camera), and before the showcase Barker thought he should have a shirt on, so Barker took his shirt off (not on camera) and gave it to the contestant, and Barker put his jacket back on and did the showcase just wearing a suit jacket. The contestant wore Barker's shirt through the showcase. At the end of the show the models tried to take his jacket off.
It's worth it dragging this back from three days so this thread doesn't swell to 60 pages.

Here's a few more from me:
Mark Thompson calling Michael Smith "Michelle" on Greed
Alex: If a Japanese doctor asks you to stick out your "shita", he means this.
Contestant: What is your behind?
(From Jeopardy! international tournament in Sweden)
The "Mosquitoes" on "Scrabble"
The "YOU FOOL!!" episode on Hollywood Squares, which took up the entire half-hour!
Garry Moore holding an armadillo until it started to poop (and the panelists trying not to walk on it) on an early '70s "To Tell The Truth"
I've Got A Secret: One of the panelists trying to milk a cow until IT started to poop and later went off the stage
The "erection" clue to "Things that are stiff" on Davidson $100,000 Pyramid
Joker's Wild: A slide listing the categories not popping up behind Jack Barry's podium and Jack ad-libbing ("These were written in invisible ink; if we don't have the categories, I'll make them up as we go along")

About the IGAS Cow blooper, I think GSN aired the episode where this happened, but the part where the cow had "bad timing" was missing, but yet everyone KNEW what happened. I guess the moment was edited out of the original broadcast, but someone was smart enough to save this rather uncomfy but funny moment.

It was in there on GSN, just as MOGSM aired it. I never noticed what it had done until the second time I saw it, but it was in the original broadcast.

That wasn't Mark Thompson who *initially* did it--it was Burton Richardson, who warmed up the first show and was supposed to announce it until Fox wanted someone else. But since the incident was so funny, it was left in and Thompson did the same gaffe when recording the voice-overs in post.
IIRC, Thompson didn't do warm-ups or was ever on-set--his work was always added in post. Corrections appreciated.

So Mark "recreated" the blooper. Shades of Kermit Schafer. I was so disillusioned when I found out most of the "bloopers" I had on a record as a kid were recreations.

Shades of Kermit Schafer
Would that be Ross Schafer's infamous Match Game fall, that you are talking about?

No, it wouldn't be.
Do a Google search on "Kermit Schafer" and see what you find. You might learn something.

No. Kermit Schafer is the guy who first came up with marketing "Bloopers." There was a series of record albums that he compiled way back when with many recreations of bloopers. There was also an R-rated movie in the mid 70's that K-Tel distributed to theaters called "Pardon My Blooper." From there Dick Clark and Ed McMahon took the ball and ran with it.

Didn't every "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes" make a mention of him at the end of every show during the credit roll? (I'm thinking something along the lines of "In Memory of Kermit Schaefer..")

No, they are two different people.

By researching it.
ObGS: Kermit Schafer's 1975 book "Bloopers, Bloopers, Bloopers" listed a couple of GS-related incidents:
1) Match Game '74: "'Breasts' seems to be the answer; Fannie, let's see yours."
2) Jackpot: "First you make the sale, then you open my drawers. What am I?" "A hooker!" "A cash register--you louse!"
I know GSN has run MG into the ground. but I don't remember ever seeing that particular quote. Anyone remember this? (I won't bother asking about Jackpot, since it hasn't been run anywhere in a long time, or at least the version referenced here.)

I'm not calling you on the fact that you didn't know who Kermit Schaefer was; I'm calling you on your response to him.
When the comment "Shades of Kermit Schaefer" was made, your response was:
"Would that be Ross Schafer's infamous Match Game fall, that you are talking about?"
I'm calling you on the fact that if you had read more carefully (something you really need to do, BTW), you would have seen that it was KERMIT Schaefer that was mentioned, and not Ross.

In an article I have from the Jan. 17-23, 1981 issue of TVG (Paging Jimmy Owen!!), there is an article in there about game shows......I forget the title of it (Jimmy can help)....anyway, in the article, I remember reading this:
There was an episode of Cross-Wits where the clue was four letters, Jack Clark read the clue: "I am one", and the contestant answered "Homo".....

I did realize that it said Kermit Schafer. I wasn't sure if that was an actual name, or just a nickname for Ross during the incident. That's all.

This was from the question "The big bad worf said, 'I just came from a house where this old lady had the biggest blanks I've ever saw!'", to which the contestant emphatically said "Boobs!", leading the celebrities to walk off the stage.
The episode was aired in the Match Game GSN marathon last summer, and I trust it has aired other times.

I didn't recognize the name, and when I saw Schafer, I immediately thought of Ross and the falling incident.

Listen, I just want to apologize for what happened here. I shouldn't have responded so rudely, after you had all told I was wrong about this. And clemon, I didn't see that initial google post either. But anyway, looking back you had every right to respond the way you did after I said:
"well how am I supposed to know who Kermit Schafer was?"
After all, the saying goes: "Treat others the way you want to be treated."
anyway, I am sorry.

I accept your apology. I also have deleted my "common sense" remark. That was rude of me as well.

Surprised nobody's pointed out that Kermit and Ross both spell their last names differently. Kermit Schafer, Ross Shafer. (buzz) No match.
I have a couple old Kermit Schafer albums and some of the game show bloopers on them are obviously canned. But there are a couple of real ones.
