Ways to make lameass game shows more interesting

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Just to balance things out, add a "tournament of champions" to Wheel of Fortune, like Jeopardy! has. One of the spaces on the wheel spin for the final prize is "Time travel to 1982 and make a porno with Vanna." The other contestants then receive a copy as their consolation prize.

Since the Arizona Law is making big headlines, I propose a gameshow that is half Wipeout! (or that awesome ninja show on G4) and half Jeopardy! Illegal Immigrants compete for legal immigration status. It's a giant obstacle course set up along the border and along the way you gotta answer Social Studies questions that get progressively harder. Maybe even throw in a little American Gladiator with border officers wearing colorful wrestling costumes and those padded staffs they use (forgot the name).

Tell me Red-Staters wouldn't eat that shit up.

Make it even more interesting: set it up like Family Feud/Double Dare, and have a family of illegal immigrants vs a family of rednecks, answering social studies questions. I think you'd see the rednecks having to perform more physical challenges because they don't know shit, and getting pissed because they're too obese to win the challenges.

It is really fucking baffling that it's completely unconstitutional for citizens to have to show any knowledge whatsoever about anything to do with anything when they go to vote, but a legal immigrant who is naturalized has to answer far more than 99.9% of born citizens could answer to become citizens.

If it works, I'd like to see a spin-off where it is guys from the Lucha Libre vs. American Gladiators playing for the fate of a Chevy-load full of immigrants.

Well it doesn't look my American Gladiator idea was original. Robot Chicken had a bit where Mexicans went up against the American Gladiators. After they beat the piss out of the guy, they put the guy in a catapult and launched him back across the border.

Another fun space for Wheel of Fortune: Closet. If you land on it, Weird Al's "Stuck in a Closet with Vanna White" starts playing. The contestant is locked in a closet with Vanna until at least one of them ejaculates. At one time, this space would've been a boon. Now players wish they'd landed on Bankrupt or Gorilla Buttfuck.

BTW, considering unlimitedpudding's chart, the gorilla has a strap-on.

Change 'Gorilla Buttfuck' to 'Gorilla Fistfuck' and you're good to go.
'Gorilla Handjob' would probably be pretty nasty as well. And that works either way. Tugging on a gorilla's banana is just as unpleasant as having him rip yours off by yanking too hard.
