- This is an updated version from my original clip that I made that involves 4 PYL contestants that hit the Whammy 4 times in a row. The first 2 are from the original clip called "The Worst Players EVER! 2 more contestants are added to the list. Enjoy. This is also a detailed version too.
- Zábava
This is what makes Michael Larsons play so satisfying to watch...
Just happened in the modern version for the first time
I just saw that and that's why I ended up here!
@@roqueabalsamo Me too
2:10 - "You have sustained your fourth whammy. Sorry, but you are finished...here."
This is the ONLY game show where I want the contestants to LOSE. I love the Whammies.
Oh really, my sister used to cry when she got 4 whammies in a row
Idk why you wish misfortune on people who really need the money to kickstart their business or career now you say that but I dare you to go on the show and you play against the whammy and see how it goes when you’ve gained a good amount of money and have that gremlin take it away from you
It's the only game show where I get to punch tvs
Thanks for the upload :-) . I agree that these all sure are four-in-a-row consecutively with or without a break in between since no money or prizes were accumulated at all between whammies.
**Found another episode for ya... #121: Nita/Andres/Otis - Otis gets 2 in a row in R1 and then first 2 spins in R2 were whammies, giving Nita the win
Ed Yu's second ep. The last four spins he took were Whammies, and that happened before this one
"today's my day..." only if he knew hahahaha
Yeah... All that determination then bad luck sometimes
6/9/2021 episode - the first time in the 21st century a contestant has gotten four Whammies in a row (hence the title for the episode: "Four in a Row.")
Came back to this video after watching that episode, looks like you had the same idea lol.
Some of these players were bad, some weren't. Let's look at this objectively.
Paul - The first spin you can't entirely put on him. He hit the button when there were only 2 whammies on the board (which I'd call a generally "safe" board), and the board changed right as he hit the button. A bit slow and it cost him, but not the worst. Second spin, board changed as he hit...but he still hit the button on a 3-whammy board, this is bad. Third spin he hit the button on a 3-whammy board where there was a 0-whammy board a few seconds prior. Fourth spin, board changed as he hit the button, again, making a non-whammy space into a whammy - but he did still hit stop on a 4-whammy board (that transitioned into another 4-whammy board.)
Dave - First whammy the board transitioned as he hit the button (seems to be a common theme here...) Seconds pin - same as Paul's fourth spin, caught in transition, 4-whammy board to 4-whammy board. Third spin was not AS bad, hit the button on a 3 whammy board. Fourth - this was just unlucky. It was a 3-whammy board, but the light was just moving AWAY from a whammy, so it only had a 2/17 chance of moving to another one. Effectively this was almost as good as a 2-whammy board and he just got got.
Mona - First - 5-whammy board. Oof. Second - exact same set of circumstances as Paul's fourth, but slightly worse because there were SO MANY 1 and 2 whammy boards prior to this she could have stopped on. Third - just got fucked by being too slow, there was only ONE whammy on the prior board, the board changed when she hit the button. Fourth - EXACTLY Paul's fourth whammy circumstances AGAIN.
Tinker - first one was not overly offensive, 3 whammy board transitioning to 3 whammy board. Second - this was BAD, 5 whammy board she chose to stop on when there was not a single whammy on the board two cycles ago. Third - THIS one was atrocious. Possibly the most out of all the spins in this entire video. 5-whammy board, and the light was on that whammy long enough she could see it was on him by the time she started to hit the button and STILL didn't pull back. Fourth - for how bad that previous one was, this was just unlucky. She managed to hit the only whammy up there.
Long story short, you have players that don't even bother looking at board composition, you're going to get things like this that happen. You don't need to be Michael Larson to know that if damn near a third of the board is yellow, DON'T HIT THE BUTTON!
It happened again tonight (June 9, 2021)
2 players who took a total of 4 spins the entire game.....and hit 4 whammies! Yikes!!! 😮
Confirmed list of players with four in a row (# in first round/# in second round):
Cre from 42 (2/2)
Otis from 121 (2/2)
Carol from 244 (1/3)
Ed from 312 (0/4)
Paul from 443 (0/4)
Kimberley from 485 (0/4)
Mona from 542 (3/1)
Tinker from 551 (2/2)
Lorraine from 631 (3/1)
John from 694 (2/2)
Dave from 711 (0/4)
Kimberley and John were seated in the first spot, Ed was in the second spot and all of the others were in the third spot.
And, as mentioned in other posts, Mona and Lorraine got four whammies in only four spins taken for the entire game.
They were the unluckiest players ever. I wouldn't call them "the worst players".
Of those four, Mona would win the prize for hard luck for she was the only one to not accumulate ANY money for that entire episode. (She took exactly FOUR spins in that game, 3 in round 1 and the 4th in round two and all were whammies) On the flip side, she was the only returning champion among those four and left with almost $23,000 in cash and prizes.
1:09 "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
(elephant trumpets)
Tarzan Whammy: Hey!
If it were random, 1296:1.
ok. Besides the 4 i have on here, give me the list that i need to add so all of them r together. Thanx.
They aint no Michael Larsons up there.
That's not what I meant. In the first 2 clips the players hit 4 whammies in a row (consecutively, without stop or pause) in the other 2 clips they hit 1 or 2 whammies in R1 and then hit the remaining whammies in R2 (non-consecutively, with stop or pause due to going back to the question round to obtain more spins).
The players shown in this video, as well as others mentioned by other commenters, had bad luck rivaled by the contestant who, in 1980, played the Money Cards on Card Sharks and hit FOUR threes in a row before the adaptation of the "doubles push" rule that was enacted on Card sharks later that year and carried to all subsequent versions. Amazingly, that contestant did NOT bust out on those four successive threes and I believe won a small amount on that particular playing of the Money Cards.
***** There was also a contestant who busted TWICE during the Money Cards around that time too
Contestants frequently busted twice on the same Money Cards, but what I think you mean is that a player busted above the bottom level after getting the starting money for the second row of cards without the host knowing it by making an incorrect wager or incorrect prediction without the host realizing it, and let the player continue, only to bust again later on, this time for real.
***** I meant the contestant who lost two complete rounds of Money Cards. (As he won the game, but busted at Money Cards each time he was up there)
Thanks for clarifying what you meant. I imagine a number of players had that happen to them. After all, the first run of Card Sharks ran about 800 episodes, and the Money Cards was played more than once on many of those episodes, and a player could play the Money Cards up to seven times, so I imagine that more than a few players busted on more than one playing. It wouldn't surprise me if someone actually busted THREE times, especially during the period that double aces, kings, twos, or threes could bust a player. The bonus game became imminently more fair when the rules changed when players were no longer penalized for doubles.
But again, thanks for clarifying what you meant, because I didn't know what you meant originally.
Technically that's still 4 in a row, since there was no money or prizes hit between those times
I remember watching in a different time and the same thing happened
Has anyone ever whammied out in the first round and couldn't play in the second?
Nope. Usually, anyone with two or three whammies in the first round was wise to pass.
yep. i should put these in order so they wil be consecutive plus the Cindi/Ed/Cheri too.
Not necessarily in a row, but has anyone ever whammied out in round 1, not making it to round 2?
I e-mailed someone about this... and he told me it has never happened. Not then, and I hope not now. (Never happened on Whammy, the GSN revival)
7:05 She also appeared on Classic Concentration IIRC
Here's another one: Episode #695 (5/28/86) John/Mona/Sandra (obviously not the same Mona in this clip) John whammies on his last two spins in round one and on his first two spins in round two. This episode was more known for Sandra hitting Add-A-One in round one and finishing round one with over $15,000 only to lose it late in the game. Mona ended up winning the game with three whammies on the last spin which was passed to her by Sandra (if Mona would have whammied on the last spin, Sandra would have been the (4th?) person to win by default with $0)
You got the names wrong. Mike and Rita were there names
My mistake the episode I was referring to is actually #694...The PYL episode guide has it as #695
LOL Found 1 more again... #244: Susan/Todd/Carol... Carol gets a whammy in R1, passes her last spin to Todd.. Then in R2, she hits 3 in a row for a "technical" 4 in a row whammy out
whammy3323 i hope to do this and update it as well when i make new videos on my channel.
no worries :-) Take your time...
oops. i forgot about that. Thanx. Maybe i need to re-edit this again.
I wouldn't really call them the "Worst Players Ever." Maybe a better fitting title would be "Players with teh Worst Luck EVER!" But that's just my opinion.
Someone needs to do a Whammy compilation which includes the losing horns from The Price is right being played if someone gets a fourth Whammy.
Whammy pianist must be "Whamerace", a play on the late Liberace.
Ouch.
Love the umpire whammy!
YOU'RE OUT!!!
they had one with three whammies and Fang singing "You're out" in barbershop quartet that was priceless.
mark vargo LMAO
Hasta luego! Arrivederci! Bon Voyage! That means Good Bye!.
Should they use them all in the 2019 version
If that's a hairpiece on Dave it sure sticks out like a sore thumb
Another bit of irony....ALL of the players involved were in the third, or far right, position...And based on the previous posts, everybody except one person played from the third position when they accomplished this feat.
How about the one that aired on Friday 7/3? Andy/Linda/Lorraine (#631 from 2/28/86) Lorraine did the exact same thing Mona in this video did! Mona, congratulations, you've got company in the "four whammies in four spins for the entire game" club!
i'll find that episode and add that too
The first one, this guy was supposed to be a zookeeper?
Do you not have episode 312 (Cindi/Ed Yu/Cheri)?? Ed whammies 4 in a row to give Cheri the win...
Lorraine is another one of the contestants who hit 4 whammies, too! They're not the only ones, esp. "Amazing Dave!"
which episode is that?
Can be found in Ep. #631 - Andy/Linda/Lorraine, filmed weeks before Dave got 4 whammies in a row, and 2 mos. after announcer Rod Roddy had been in an automobile accident, on his way to work, therefore, he made it to the studio, but not to work, so Charlie O' filled in for Rod, for at least 2 wks. You oughta add in that one, with the rest, I must say, please?! Thank you! :)
Not the “worst players ever”, just the unluckiest.
And ones that never learned from the late Michael Larson.
@@ericzubyk2329 Learned what? They changed the patterns not long after his run.
The worst players are those who don't get any earned spins, pass their remaining spins if they're in third place, or, on a Pick A Corner, select the Whammy if its an option. Still, Mona is the only contestant to ever hit four Whammies in a row without landing on anything else. That happens just 1 in 1296 times. Given that there were over 2100 contestants (including returning champions), it's not surprising that this happened just once. The ABC version just had its first player hit four Whammies in a row, though it was similar to Paul and Dave's fate in that hit happened in Round 2.
Lorraine in 631 did the exact same thing Mona did...
Hasta luego! Arrivederci! Bon voyage! That means goodbye! 👋🏻
Yer out! ⚾
Whammies 0:27 1:07 1:37 1:59 2:40 2:58 3:20 3:51 5:10 5:28 5:50 6:30 7:31 7:56 8:24 8:52
Should they use them all in the 2019 version
Lisa Cogar yes
In honor of the Cubs....
+James Fabiano Whammy says (on the fourth whammy on two occasions on this clip) "YOU'RE OUT!!!"
funny to watch
4 whammies your out of the game
Whammy busters?
4:05 -- Memory isn't perfect.
What about Debi? She got 4 whammies in a row the same Tinker has! You must update the video!
marie k actually she got $1500 on her first spin in R2 then got her 4th whammy. So no she did not get 4 in a row
Does anyone know if anyone ever whammied out in the first round? And if so what happens in that situation?
I think once
@@chrismc410It had to have happened in either episode 66 or one of the September 1986 episodes that have yet to be found.
Has anyone ever gotten 4 whammies in round 1?
Nope
Demario Smith thanks (sorry for late reply) I’ve always wondered if it ever happened
I bet it would’ve been crazy if for some reason someone got 4 whammies in round 1
Kirk in episode 412 came close....he got three whammies in round one and an opponent passed him spins but he wound up winning the round. Norma (episode 374) and Darren (episode 602) were both passed spins in round one with three whammies but they avoided the whammy to make it to round two.
Not for nothing, but I think the last 2 clips shouldn't count as they were non consecutive like the first 2 clips.
This kind of reminds me of in another past Game Show called Legends Of The Hidden Temple where a Temple Guard went into The Tomb Of The Ancient Kings from The Dungeon to end the Temple Run.
Hilarious
This is the opposite of michael larson
Odds of hitting 4 in a row are about 1/1296. (1/6)^4. Talk about bad luck.
8:00
lol
The Contestants Want BIG BUCKS and They're Gonna Get BIG BUCKS!!!!!!!!
Oh wow. 😳. Go whammies! 👍🏼☺️
8:56
*You're out!*
3:55
You're out!
Disappointing. Very disappointing.
