Hollywood Squares' infamous "You Fool" clip - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Here's the clip, but here's a warning: Your funny bone will be absolutely vulnerable to what you're about to see:

As you can tell, Gilbert Gottfried contagiously cracks up the studio audience at the Bob Barker Studio, where Hollywood Squares was being recorded. Chime in with your thoughts on this hilarious clip.

Great clip! I'm still grinning as I type. Thanks for sharing a reason for a hearty laugh!

As for the clip, I have it on a game show bloopers clip I taped off t.v. years ago. I laughed at it, but it was because the contestants kept getting their quesetions wrong, and it was NOT because of Gilbert Gottfried and Penn and Teller's consant yelling of "You Fool" I never cared for any of them and I think there was a reason they were all on Hollywood Squares.

You'll have to tell it to everyone else who has used it.

You're wrong, again. Maybe you need to check out the Happy Days Message Board and see MikeL's posting,

The no youtube posting applies only to Unsolved Mysteries segments or full episodes of series. Short clips and opening intros are generally ok. It's up to youtube whether or not they remove them.
