This thread is exactly as it sounds...ideas for puzzles rejected by Wheel of Fortune

Someone earlier mentioned 'Taking a Dump' -- Event

I'll add to the list the following:

'Brooke and Panty Shields' -- Same Name

'James, Charlie and Doo Doo Brown' -- Same Name

'Hiring A Prostitute' -- Event

Any other ideas?

Hmmmm.

'A Bloody Nose' -- Event

'A Can Of Whoop Ass' -- Thing

"George Carlin's Seven Infamous Words" - Clue
"Shit Happens" - Phrase
"V" - Title

Hehe, enjoyable.

"Fluffer" - Person

"Shoving a Single in a Strippers G-String" - Event

"Sanitary Napkin Holder" - Before and After (or Clue)

"Se7en" - Title (they can call numbers, right?)

"Behind the Green Door" - Title (even mentioned by Richard on an ep. of Match Game)

"None of your damn business" -- What Are You Doing?

The irrefutable, indisputable fact is… psssh, it happens.

Actually, "Hiring a Prostitute", "Shoving a Single in a Strippers G-String" and "Taking a Dump" would be categorized as "What Are You Doing?".

As for Se7en, Pat has said you could call anything if you landed on Free Play, you'd call anything. I see no reason not to call a 7. Or an ñ. Or a glottal stop.

In all seriousness, pertaining to the thread:

Same Name: DIVORCE & ROLLING PAPERS

Things: BIG TITS. They were one letter off in the Puzzler era.

Thing: ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM

/Wait, I thought it was more of an ideological stance than a disease?
//I can finally take off this puce ribbon!

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"- Phrase (this one's a thinker)

So as long as you stay away from penalty spaces, you can't lose.

Yay.

That is a puzzle on the Wheel of Fortune Deluxe Edition on SNES.

I used this one in a game of Gag Wheel of Fortune on PYLP one time.

I would probably recognize that puzzle with no letters showing. And then call Q, Z and X just to show off.

PARTICIPATING IN YOUR FIRST THREESOME- PRIZE PUZZLE

BZZZZ

I Somebody might actually want that one, depending on who the other two are.

Toetyper, I've been meaning to ask: Do you really type with your toes? If so, why? I'm just super curious is all.

As a video game title that's sold millions of titles, why would they reject this one?

It's destined to be accepted if it's in the category, "What're You In For?"

That reminds me of the time that the puzzle was PIANO RECITAL. Of course, the E and the A were bought before the I.

Also, I believe "jackass" and "asshole" are both one word. But you never know; Wheel, for some odd reason, considers "keychain" and "milkshake" two words, and they have broken up one-word terms for Same Name (TINKER & TACO BELL).

As for Grand Theft Auto as a puzzle, Toetyper could be referring to the crime or the video game. If the latter, then yeah — Wheel tries to stay a family show, so I would definitely say that they don't want to be referring to a game that's probably one step beyond even the M rating. It'd be like if they had, say, "Conker's Bad Fur Day" as a puzzle back in '01 (although that game was nowhere near as famous, it certainly pushed the envelope for even an M).

Speaking of violence among cartoon animals, I don't see HAPPY TREE FRIENDS as a puzzle in the near future either.

this took me a good 5 minutes

It is a thing and it is DREW CAREY'S CLIFF HANGERS SUIT.

What in the hell are you talking about?

I disagree, since you could have substituted that for Mr. Blackwood's post and the result would have been same.

The ESRB disagrees with you.

Unless you were editorializing. In which case:

The ESRB disagrees with you.

A GROUP OF PILL-PUSHERS.

Oh, wait.

Not working for me; the link or Mr. 'ton's post. If the ESRB gave it a M rating, then it's a M rating. What's the whole "one step beyond?" The "TwoGirlsOneCupofHotCoffee" mode in the next game?

ObTopic: Before and After: GO POUND SAND CASTLES

Lemme try some more to make up for my epic fail at humor last time the last eleventy billion times: MINERS & HOES.

Hang on a second, I've got one… AN UGLY CHILD.

Oh wait, I've got it now. MUSTARD-FILLED CHOCOLATE ECLAIR.

…Ugh, I give up.

Somehow, I doubt it.

The Category is: What's Going On?

The Puzzle is: PAT YOUR ZIPPER IS DOWN.

Sadly, some of these seem more likely than
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE (person)
EID (event)
ISAAC NEWTON'S LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS (things or title)
ATLAS SHRUGGED (title)
TBILISI or even SRI LANKA (on the map) (At least the latter is solvable as a bonus puzzle.)

Titles in the original spirit of the thread:
THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST
DEBBIE DOES DALLAS
WHERE THE BOYS AREN'T (For my money, this is one of the cleverer adult film rip-off titles.)
SPERMS OF ENDEARMENT
MEIN KAMPF
THE SATANIC VERSES
SICKO (though it's not inconceivable that they'd use it as just PERSON)

It's also not inconceivable to me that they'd have THE KORAN as a thing, but I doubt (and simulataneously wish) they'd put it up as THE QU'RAN.

Things:
DI_DO
VI__ATO_
C_ND_M

Thing/Event: E_E_A (I can imagine an embarassed contestant guessing this if the actual puzzle were ENEMY.)

Names:
YASIR ARAFAT
POL POT
COLONEL MUAMMAR QADDAFI
JOSEF MENGELE
DOCTOR JACK KEVORKIAN
CHUCK WOOLERY

Twentington: I always wanted a captain on Family Feud to say, "I brought my beautiful daughter Emily, my ugly daughter ..."

That could've easily been a Slang bonus puzzle back in the early '90s. They loved really short bonus puzzles back then (would you believe WAX, WIG and ZOO all in the same month?).



File under "Arson, murder and jaywalking." Actually, I wouldn't entirely rule out Chuck as a puzzle; Pat has namedropped him a few times, and I would imagine that some people would know him from Lingo reruns alone. (With that in mind, has LINGO ever been a correct answer on Lingo?)
