What's do you think is the toughest Joker's Wild categories, in your own opinion?

Horse Racing, as evidenced on one of the early CBS episodes GSN ran in 2001.

I had a hard time with Fast Forward Pakistani Taxidermists. YMMV.

Wait! GSN should show this at 3:00 AM too! Followed by a rerun of American Dream Derby.

What on earth is Pakistani Taxidermists

They're people who deliver hair to bald Asians.

Thanks for the info. Now let's go back to our topic.

As it happens, that's also the toughest Winner's Circle subject I ever saw on The $100,000 Pyramid--but it was the tournament after all.
Toughest for me is SCIENCE. Boring, I know, but you asked.

Was it General Science Fast Forward Science, or just "Science?"

WHOOOOOOOOSHHH!!!!!

I believe it was Corporal Science.

To tell you the truth, the toughest ones in my opinion is the categories, All About Languages, Physics, and Chemistry. Because I didn't take them in High School.

P.S.: Isn't All About Languages kind of like "Foreign Words" on Tic Tac Dough?

I don't think that the categories were that hard, per se (untill I saw some of those early CBS eps.), but I think they became much harder when they were preceded by 2 jokers...

(spinning wheel sfx)

Joker......JOKER!!!......Name That Psalm.

(crowd moans)

Joker's Wild had a helluva lot easier categories(IMHO) as compared to it's sister show Tic Tac Dough

*Exactly* like Foreign Words. You haven't noticed the similarities between the two shows?

Well, no offence but I only have 2 episodes of "The Joker's Wild" in my collection.

When I probably get more episodes I'll make a difference.

Do you know what's the crossword category is called?

Sports.

TJW had a Crossword Definitions category in the syndie era, but the clues used in that category paled in comparison to clue writing on Cross-Wits, Scrabble, Jeopardy!(when they have their crossword clue category) or Monopoly.

Zach, you ever hear of the saying "Birds of a feather?"

Of Fence. Because not enough people are on the fence.

I have exactly zero episodes in my collection, yet I'm able to tell the difference.

Made me laugh.

You know, if you can find a sap who will trade with you after this performance, I'll smile and kiss a pig. :)

I'd say that he's British, but that would be an insult--to whom should not be difficult to determine.

Oh, and which categories did Jack Barry ever mispronounce?
Which categories were Jack's favorites?
Which questions did Jack know the answers to?

Anything not having to do with sleeping, eating, or birdwatching.

Oh, wait, that's not my own opinion, that's my cat's opinion. Sorry about that.

And if you can make just ONE person laugh...

you should get out of comedy.

Another tough Joker's Wild category, at least for the players on a 1978 syndicated episode: Mixed Fruits.

It would be soooo easy to make a joke after this...must....control...fingers....

Was'nt there a category called Tropical Islands, or Beaches?

Oh, by the way clemon79 you're in my ignore list!!

"The answer is Sigfried and Roy, Jack."

"And you've won the game!!"

The "Mystery" category is obviously one of the toughest, because you have no idea what the category is.

Chemistry is also another tough category.

There is one category that contestants didn't do to well with... Road Signs... the player is shown a road sign, and he/she has to identify what the road sign is.

One of the most memorable of this category was when a road sign indicating "two-way traffic" was shown. One contestant answered, "you can pass on one side". That was wrong. The other contestant guessed "you can pass on either side."

Jack Barry's response:
"If you two were both doing that, you'd be in an accident! That's what it means."

No I'm not. I'm not finished with you yet. I will be in your ignore list when I TELL YOU I am in your ignore list, and not before. Do you understand me?

Now DANCE, monkey!

I dunno. There was, however, one called Films Of The 70s.

My only hope is that contestants who missed this category weren't 5 time winners.

My only hope is that I am not on the road with contestants who missed these questions.

Wait a minute...you killfiled him. Isn't that considered a threat?

No it is'nt!! He just told me that he isn't finished with me!!

Okay, can we please get this child out of here? It's painfully apparent he needs to learn how to behave around here, and that he doesn't understand fully the elegibility requirements..

Kid, take this as honest advice : Lurk more, and type less. You may learn something.

No. I and I alone will tell him when he can leave. I have more business with this one. ;)

Yeah. I'm sticking around and waiting for him to dance for you. ;)

BTW, love the new sig - I laughed out loud at "Evil Personified". :)

And besides, you said you'd kiss a pig if anyone would trade with him--there have to be more people out there who would chip in a tape or two to see that...:)

Was'nt there a category called News of 1978?

Yes. It was during the first season episodes.

Seriously, please stop posting.

I'll bring the popcorn. :)

Doug -- and the countdown to 1000 continues

Which was weird, since 1978 was still 6 years away.

Seriously, some of this is like intentionally mistyping an air date in a thread Zach is reading, and then expecting him not to correct it.

He probably means the first syndie season.

Gee, Sherlock, nothing gets past you. Maybe if you had read Robert's entire post, but of course, it would make too much sense for someone to make a joke around you, because it's a well-known fact you'd only kill it by being so anal.

Woolery left Wheel and said "WHOOOOOSH" as he walked out the door.

I have little doubt that Zach did read my entire post, did get the joke--and posted anyway.

There are two ways to invoke Zach, I've found: mentioning his name, and not mentioning his name.
