These great questions and answers are from the days when the Hollywood Squares game show responses were spontaneous, not scripted, as they are
now. Peter Marshall was the host asking the questions, of course.
Classic! Then there's Family Feud answers:
I still laugh at reading those...and I can hear their voices as I think
of them. You can still find The Hollywood Squares deals on YouTube.
1. NAME SOMETHING YOU’D DO TONIGHT IF THE WORLD WAS COMING TO AN END TOMORROW.
"Get the kids and pack."
Talk about an eternal vacation.
2. DURING WHAT MONTH OF PREGNANCY DOES A WOMAN BEGIN TO LOOK PREGNANT? "September."
Or on Feb. 14, the man is running after the woman. On Nov. 14, the
pregnant woman is running after the man.
3. NAME A REASON FOR KNEELING.
"To be beheaded."
You really can lose your head just thinking about that.
4. NAME A FAMOUS OR FICTIONAL WILLY.
"Willy the Pooh."
Was that Clinton's crappy relationship with Monica?? <EG>
5. NAME SOMETHING YOU OPEN OTHER THAN A DOOR.
"Bowels."
More like the orifice is opened. :P
6. NAME SOMETHING YOU SQUEEZE.
"Peanut butter."
That'll put someone in a jam.
7. NAME A FAMOUS DICK.
"Carrot."
Never mind "What's Up, Doc??".
8. NAME A BOY MENTIONED IN NURSERY RHYMES.
"Little Red Riding-Hood."
Little Red riding in "The Hood". Tex Avery did a cartoon called
"Little Rural Riding Hood". You had a country wolf, and a city wolf.
The country wolf was disguised as "Grandma", and he wanted to give
this good looking female (Red) lots of hugging, kissing, and loving.
He gets a letter from his city wolf cousin to come to the city, and
meet Miss Riding Hood at the club, who was real sexy. Now, the city
wolf was very calm in his behavior...telling his country wolf cousin
"Here in the city, we do not shout or whistle at the ladies".
Well, the city wolf ends up getting knocked out after going after
"the city Red". And, the city wolf says "I'm dreadfully sorry, cousin.
This city life is too much for you. I shall motor you back to the
country".
As the city wolf says goodbye to his country cousin, the "country
Red" says "Howdy, Boys!!", and the city wolf comes unglued...reacting
the same way the country wolf did to the city Red (roles are reversed
now). So, the cartoon ends, with the city wolf getting knocked out,
and he's told "Sorry, cousin. This country life is too much for you.
I'll have to take you back to the city!!".
The Tex Avery cartoons were known for their outlandish physical
sight gags. When the characters eyes bugged out, you heard the classic "Oh-Roo-Gah" Tin Lizzie horn. <G>
9. NAME SOMETHING YOU HIT WHEN IT’S NOT WORKING.
"Your spouse."
Who's In The Doghouse??
10. NAME SOMETHING ASSOCIATED WITH LIVERPOOL.
"The yellow brick road."
Oz was going to say "Never mind the Gary Mudfather in Rindercella,
who slopped her dripper at the bancy fall".
11. NAME A BODY PART BEGINNING WITH THE LETTER N.
"Name."
Nude (Don't Look, Ethel!!) <G>.
12. NAME A FAMOUS BRIDGE.
"Bridge Over Troubled Water."
So much for Bridge Over The River Kwai.
13. NAME A DOMESTICATED ANIMAL.
"Leopard."
That response was rather spotty.
14. NAME A FAMOUS BROTHER AND SISTER.
"Bonnie and Clyde."
Really. In the movie "End Of The Line", there was an exchange between
the 2 grizzled railroaders at Southland Railroad, who had lost their
jobs. The president of the railroad, son-in-law of the now Chairman Of
The Board (the former president), was going to turn the business from a railroad into an air freight company...but he didn't tell that to his father-in-law (as he loved trains, and hated planes). Well, the 2 guys
"borrow" a locomotive, and go from Clifford, Arkansas (which was filmed
in the city of Benton, southwest of Little Rock) head to Chicago to talk
to the Chairman Of The Board. On the way there, they stop off in the
town of Flat River...and one was asking the other where they could sleep.
He's told "I don't know why we don't curl up in one of those old boxcars.
Them hoboes do it, and they say you can't beat it". The other one says
"We're like a couple of outlaws...Bonnie and Clyde"...and he was asked
"Who you gonna be?? Bonnie Or Clyde??". <G>
15. NAME SOMETHING YOU DO IN THE BATHROOM.
"Decorate."
With your own special aromas. :P
16. NAME SOMETHING THAT COMES IN 7S.
"Fingers."
Sounds like a genetic mutation to me. I have "fat fingers" when typing
at the computer. But, without fat fingers, how do you pick up the food,
and the silverware??
17. NAME A CITY NAMED AFTER A PRESIDENT.
"Carson City."
That was a rather city answer.
18. NAME SOMETHING SLIPPERY.
"A con man."
There is a town in Arkansas where you can find them...Conway -- the path
of a crook. <G>
19. NAME SOMETHING ORANGE.
"A banana."
Only when it's between green and yellow.
I like watching "Funny You Should Ask"; they have 6-8 B list comics who answer every question, first with a funny answer, then their guess. Contestants need to guess if they're telling the truth or not. . .
That was like Hollywood Squares. It was up to the contestant to figure
out if the celebrity star was giving a correct answer, or bluffing.
I can't find a list of quotes. .
Might be only a Canadian show, dunno. . .
I have several quotes and newspaper headlines in my taglines collection.
And, as I noted in another message, here are 2 websites you might like:
1)

Unfortunately, there isn't a zip file to download, but there's a ton
of entries in both.
