HAHAHAHAHAHA and these people are defending our country.

1/8/2010 3:12:37 PM

i kind of like that our military guys spend more time on important stuff than keeping up with how to pronounce the names of worthless celebrities. thanks!

1/8/2010 3:16:37 PM

In their defense, I don't think the armed forces let them take a break to watch morning tv and master the pronunciation.

1/8/2010 3:16:45 PM

that speaks a lot more poorly about Wheel of Fortune being douchebags than anything else

1/8/2010 3:21:30 PM

the only stupid part was they guy buying the vowels. Who cares if they don't know how to pronounce the names?

1/8/2010 3:21:48 PM

what would be the point of the game if all the contestant had to do was get it in the ballpark

reggie philbrin and kelly ripley
YOU WIN

To be fair, the people that enlist probably weren't close to valedictorian.

1/8/2010 3:27:25 PM

what was wrong with the way the first guy said it?

[Edited on January 8, 2010 at 3:41 PM. Reason : oh, i guess he added an R]

1/8/2010 3:41:36 PM

^I think he said it as "Regis Philburn"

1/8/2010 3:42:56 PM

my favorite episode was when they were in boston and one of the contestants had a speech impediment and kept having to repeat himself

1/8/2010 3:44:36 PM

He said Philbrin. I, too, think that the WOF people were being dicks.

1/8/2010 3:44:47 PM

I, too, think that the WOF people were being dicks.

1/8/2010 3:46:33 PM

Lol the comments are just as retarded..

Freeproduct2010
u know why they cant pronounce it? because instead watching those pointless daytime shows they are out risking their necks to protect our freedoms...and pat sajak is a douche bag just give it to one of them who gives a shit if they cant pronounce the? names of two irrelevant individuals....i bet they can pronounce demoracy or freedom

bluebirdallamerican

BlazeOfAero
What's? the point in knowing how to pronounce "demoracy"?

PWNT

yes i saw that episode of WoF, and commented after that round that every time there's a "military appreciation week," the contestants they have are always idiots.

seriously, if anyone else under the age of 80 watches this regularly, look out for the idiots next time the military people are on.

1/8/2010 3:58:07 PM

really? you think this is that funny?

1/8/2010 3:58:38 PM

WOF is a liberal media trying to degrade out men in uniform, next on Hannity

i kind of like that our military guys spend more time on important stuff than keeping up with how to pronounce the names of worthless celebrities. thanks!

1/8/2010 4:00:23 PM

LIBERALS ITT

1/8/2010 4:02:26 PM

^^then why did said military guys volunteer to go on WOF where they will be asked such things?

1/8/2010 4:04:19 PM

people who annoy you

1/8/2010 4:04:33 PM

^^ They probably got volun-told

1/8/2010 4:05:12 PM

"Sergent, report to weel ah forchin at O nine hundred"

1/8/2010 4:06:53 PM

oh noes they can't pronounce a name!

Ahh yes, I only got a 1550 on my SAT because I couldn't remember the names of any morning show hosts.


That shit always got me.

new scale doesn't count

Yes, I do.

Everyone that has lived in America for a length of time knows who the fuck Regis Philbin is.

And unless they are total fags, they know who Kelly Ripa is and how to say both their names.

Even after getting it all wrong over and over they manage to spell the entire thing out

And the proceed to STILL get it wrong.

Yes, its that funny.

1/8/2010 4:35:55 PM

if they were saying Regis "Philburn" and stuff I don't have a problem with WOF not accepting it

But when motherfucker READS "Kelly Ripa" and just mistakenly makes a long 'i' sound instead of a short 'i' sound, that is Wheel of Douche

ok ok wait...so non fags know all the names of morning talk show hosts...total fags don't.......yeah..........

UNLETH THEY ARE TOTAL FAGS THEY OBVIOUTHLY KNOW ALL THE NAMETH OF ALL THE WOMEN ON THE VIEW


[Edited on January 8, 2010 at 4:47 PM. Reason : .]

1/8/2010 4:46:12 PM

i must be a total fagot then. I didn't know it was philbin

1/8/2010 4:53:19 PM

You're also a woman.

1/8/2010 5:01:37 PM

I thought it was Regis and Cathy something or other?

1/8/2010 5:44:16 PM

I'll bet those fags don't even know who won Idol last season.

1/8/2010 5:50:21 PM

I thought the guy got it right around 1:00.

That was a little bit amusing. I cant believe they wouldn't just give it to the first attempt.

I dont fault them for not knowing something they could google in 10 seconds. Memorization of tv shows/pop culture is a rather worthless thing to be good at (no offense).

1/8/2010 8:12:16 PM

I had no idea what her last name was. I would have gotten it wrong...

1/8/2010 8:15:33 PM

This isn't funny. The WOF people were being dicks. They were probably being dicks because they know their show sucks and only retards fail to change the channel after the highly respected show Jeopardy is over.

1/8/2010 8:43:01 PM

I wasn't aware that once the puzzle was totally completed that a person's ability to pronounce it (especially proper nouns) would matter.

The players were good sports. I woulda been upset.

1/8/2010 8:55:29 PM

The ones where they added extra letters (or used the wrong letters) to the name were warranted...

but after it was spelled, and he turned a short i into a long i... then WOF is just being dickish.

lol at the bird lady cackling in the background who felt the need to put this on youtube

1/8/2010 9:13:16 PM

Haha I watched this with my grandparents the other night. I thought the guy who pronounced Ripa wrong should have caught a break.

1/8/2010 11:03:23 PM

I was watching WOF one time category was authors i think, and the board said "CHARLES _ICKENS" and the dude was like "I want to solve....Charles Pickens". I fell on the floor laughing so hard.

Merv Griffin was a genius.

He created Jeopardy for smart people, and Wheel of Fortune for other people who can read.

It's not secret that the kind of people who end up on WoF are not the same kind of people who end up on Jeopardy.

1/9/2010 3:56:15 AM

And the kind of people who end up on American Gladiators are not the same kind of people who end up on Wheel of Fortune.

Jeopardy is the only thing I watch on AFN

1/9/2010 5:36:34 AM

I honestly didn't know how to pronounce the names either.

1/9/2010 6:06:24 AM

I would think less of our military if he DID know how to pronounce that shitbags name.

I didn't know who she was...I know who regis is because of who wants to be a millionaire but not because of whatever morning show he's on. A morning show for me was Price is Right at 11. Anything on TV before that meant I was up too early.
