This topic is for the purpose of discussing #7196: PP_Unknown's SNES Family Feud "playaround" in 08:18.83

You know, I was looking forward to an improvement of Family Feud, with some good jokes, nothing that would get outdated, all round good time… let’s get into it. Immediately out of the gate we’re given a reprisal joke "Oops I pressed it" (Speed Limit) vs "SHIT I pressed it" (Shirts). Now, in terms of usage the original feels stronger cause it's in the Double Round and you're not expecting it. What makes it funnier (to me) on the original is that you can't spot Speed Limit, compared to Shirts. Now with the prompt “Name something men have their initials on” the only thing I found funny, which worked was "Edible Birth Certificate". Everything else fell flat as immediately after the answers "Breast Thief Cassette” and "Chicken Ruffling Kids" were used and that didn’t work with the prompt. Compared to the original TAS’s Round 2 which has the prompt "Name a sign no one seems to obey" immediately opens with "No yodeling allowed" (YIELD) and so on working with the prompt, and playing off of the prompt. With the first round is that this is just writing witty answers to trick the thing rather than playing with the prompts. I’m not going to break down any further as the next rounds have the same issues as highlighted in the sentence above. The goal says "now with less N-words" is very counterproductive with other offensive answers that you have provided in its place instead. These answers were also just all round bad, disrespectful, outdated basically immediately: "Is this your sex pin" "Really Communist England" "This show sucks" "British wankers" There’re also crude comments such as: "Stupid Titty Case" "Sharp Razorblade Dildoes" "Penis holding cilinder" (which has a typo) There’s also this answer here which honestly is just going for the trick rather than playing for it: "Valentine can go right D" There was also this chain that was just to basically pad it out. "No" "Y Tho" " " " " All and all I only lightly laughed once through this entire thing, it’s a forward No Vote.

Voting no. With the published TAS, the given answers follow clear themes - they try to fit the patterns of the questions most of the time, to the point where it becomes a meta-joke when they don't, and otherwise provided creative, humorous jokes in their own right. You barely even realize that the answers are constrained to whatever the text parser reads as a valid answer. This TAS, by comparison, doesn't provide that level of humor. Half of the answers are crude jokes, and the other half are very obviously strained attempts at coming up with something the text parser reads as correct. Or they're both. Forgoing giving one of the answers in round 3 was also a bad choice. It breaks the flow, did not take the opportunity to write anything funny even when you have almost full creative freedom, wastes a lot of time, and the extra round doesn't offer much of anything new. In the end, I don't think it has the entertainment value to even stand on its own. But especially compared to the published TAS, considered one of the most creative and entertaining playaround movies on the site even after more than a decade, there just is no positive quality to this run to merit publication over or alongside it.

Yeah, the humor level isn't that high here. Nevertheless, it still has some potential to have a decent TAS "volume #2", but for this to happen, the game has to be brute-forced for all questions and prescribed answers which would let you come up with hilarious answers

This submission doesn't really uphold the quality of the orignial publication, which - I might add - hasn't aged too well, which even the author of it admits. I feel the vast majority of the answers weren't exactly funny, the crude stuff notwithstanding, and honestly feel a bit tacked on. I feel for a TAS such as this one, it is strongly advised to upload a WIP to userfiles and post in the game topic, and see how the audience reacts to the answers. With that said, I'm voting No on entertainment. Good luck for your next attempt, however.

The answers were too vulgar and not all that funny. It was also much more obvious how the system was tricked, compared to the published run. That's a "no" from me.

There were some RARE reedeming points (pills against drowning + MAYBE some answers in the very last round) for this TAS, but most of the answers are immature and pretty pathetic. If they were meant to be jokes, then I cry over your sense of humour. Tased loser, cya dope. No vote.

The problem is that the solutions need to answer the question since this is a quizshow. The best answers here do that, but most feel like a madlib. The original is hilarious with those. However the worst sin was that you spelled cylinder wrong.

I'd like to emphasize that while people are free to criticize the TAS, they should still be civil and constructive.

Comments like this put the author down. Humor is a skill that can be improved upon. You can express your distaste for the movie without putting down the author in the process.

I'm not sure a volume #2 would be a good idea. It might open up the flood gates for endless submissions. If that was allowed, then TASes that have the same frame count could be judged as another volume for the same category, where different things were done for entertainment. I don't know, since it is a "Playaround"...you might be on to something. I just think that volumes would have to be defined for the rules so that it doesn't overwhelm the site.

I just have a shit sense of humor and don’t find most things funny, so I don’t even find the older one that funny, but I don’t think this improves over the currently published run. I did slightly chuckle at some of the answers but nothing had me falling out of my chair. No vote

I personally have never found any Family Feud TAS "funny" (that's not really the point of a TAS now is it) but that's just me. So they are all equal to me. I cannot understand how so many in this topic are pretending that Family Feud TASes can be "compared" or "improved". That notion sounds ridiculous.

The second paragraph was a nod to the original TAS. Presumed it was.. obvious? Beside that - maybe some stronger words were used, but it would be crushing only for a.. snowflake? Just plain truth there, nothing else. As for the sense of humour, it's more complicated than just broadening knowledge, since it's obviously very subjective and as such the root often stays the same. Feel it's a digression tho.

om, nom, nom... blech, bitter!
