Yahoo just had their baby and they were like he's so cute what do we name him I don't know we already have the dumbest last name ever let's give him an equally dumb first name his arch nemesis is blank Google blank Google I said you know cuz like wink and then Yahoo the search engine so blink google okay okay so wink Yahoo was a very over-the-top game-show host obviously but it's pretty clear that's what they were going for like kind of like a parody of game show hosts and game shows in general but even me as a loud annoying ten-year-old was like alright wink dial it back a bit you know show some restraint Oh wink yeah who do you think you are okay so dumb so this next part of the show is probably the weirdest part of the whole thing so let's watch we must introduce you control control publisher boy water Punisher will grab a shower later so this guy dressed in all leather with a hockey mask on comes out and just [ __ ] with kids and just squirts him with water and [ __ ] just messes with him like that's what that guy's job was that's what he got paid to do these are just bully kids I don't know how I wasn't terrified by this when I was younger like this is all like you know he's the Punisher is is crazy but with some simple editing this can be a horror movie trailer watch see that's so scary cuz next part is when they announced the prizes and I love this part so much because it really shows you how little budget we have up in Canada for television programming let's see what these kids will be competing for our grand prize winners will receive the new butane freestyle snowboard from Rossignol kept some big air with its extremely high performance pour that all the riders will enjoy for our first runners-up DPM hockey jerseys the official licensee the National Hockey League second runners-up receive the auto racer game console the clear choice for serious PlayStation players a cool snowboard hockey jerseys and something for your PlayStation what if you didn't like snowboarding or hockey or playing video games uh-oh oh my god I get it now so to those who haven't seen the show this is how it worked there were three teams of two a blue team a red team and a green team they would all spin the wheel to see what mini games they had to play to earn their team points and then whatever team had the most points at the end one obviously you know there were games like the dump that was like a weird Plinko spinoff and then there was speed round we had to answer questions really quick but the one that was my favorite it was called mayhem mayhem was great here's an amazing example of a mayhem time to break the pinata open ok so take this bat stand on the box you got 20 seconds to break it open but you gotta remember the three facts the hubbub of bubble gum in there then you gotta get to get those 50 points are you ready get set go just so dangerous you know kids swinging a bat as hard as he can literally like inches away from the heads of other children like so holy [ __ ] even like even the host is like okay whoa whoa whoa stop in light taps alright this little flaps little taps little tap this is mayhem and if that wasn't scary enough here's a here's another example of a great mayhem like you know that that host went home that night and stared herself in the mirror and was like what the [ __ ] am I doing with my life I went to film school for four years intern for two years just to do this to yell at a girl to eat food and shove food in her face you know there's no way you can be a normal human after that eat it what you do the spaghetti dude eat it come on this poor girl just wants to win some points and this this late 90s girl is yelling at her she can never eat spaghetti again she can forget about spaghetti so mayhem you got head injuries choking hazards scarred children oh now you're all probably wondering why the show was called uh-oh other than all the Big Show's you say when you see all the the dangers of it but oh is an option that you can get on the wheel when you spit so let's see what happens when you get oh okay cool so already right off the bat we got a grown man Punisher pulling a kid by her pigtails into a small inescapable glass tube that's fun and good I think the Punisher is Miss Trunchbull husband there's a conspiracy theory Shane Dawson do it hey what's up you guys yes so the realm of the Punisher we all know miss trench so after the kid is dragged into that tiny prison the other kid has to answer a skill testing question like this okay so I wanted to clear something up before me see this next clip so the girl with pigtails the other person got the question right so all they really do is get points if that happens and that's not entertaining I want to show you what happens when they don't get points so that's why there's a completely different kid in the inescapable glass tube okay enjoy they have rhythm bubbling water or start crackles start speckles no its month larvae you're wrong and he got it wrong uh-oh so what happens obviously the Punisher pours slime on to the kid who didn't even do anything wrong that's the messed up part if you're gonna pour slime on anyone poured on the kid who got the question wrong he's the idiot first same thing as before this is all fun and games and it's filmed like whoa this is crazy paper but with some simple editing scary as [ __ ] watch this is weird okay trust me it's weird that there's a [ __ ] pouring slime on the helpless children okay and trust me I'm not the only one who thinks this okay the man who played wink Yahoo whose real name is Scott yeah Scott Jeff Scott Scott he didn't AMA on reddit six years ago cuz I was doing a bunch of research for this video okay I didn't want to let I don't want to leave any stone unturned and somebody asked if he was aware of how weird the concept of the Punisher was and that like weird sexual undertone of like you know being dressed in all leather and stuff and he said yes okay he said yes he knew it a lot of people knew it so I'm not weird for thinking that okay they're weird for doing it that was basically uh other than like this weird betting thing that they did on like some pre-recorded obstacle course challenge that a bunch of kids did in some random field in small town in Canada and guys you had no idea how badly I wanted to be at one of those things and I never did I never never never got to go that's why I'm making this video I'm bitter so a winner would be announced they'd all go home with hubba bubba gum audience members are going home chewing ha ba ba ba and i would just be so jealous of all the kids they look like they're having so much fun you know as strange and weird and dangerous as a show was i love it so so much i'm commenting on how weird and strange it is but there's something so pure and joyful about it that i honestly i can't really put into words it didn't take itself seriously at all it didn't try to be anything it wasn't it was just a fun crazy stupid game show for kids to watch after school because you know math is tough so you need something to be happy about and I've watched so many episodes when researching for this video and the love that I have for that show is still there it's not a nostalgic thing either it's the show is genuinely fun to watch I feel like the 90s early 2000s was such a strange time for kids television because I feel like that was a time where like technology was just starting to grow like a really fast pace and I think everybody on television and stuff was just trying their hardest to make something that could appeal to kids in that like ever-growing community I'm so smart look at my hands moving you know there wasn't really rules or anything they just like needed to make something that was attention-grabbing and fun and crazy and oh did that in a world where kids watch other kids unbox toys or watch some man scream about slime for entertainment I don't think a show like uh-oh could exist now and that makes me sad because I have so much love and fondness over this crazy dangerous game show but I figured most of my followers are from America and just you know other parts of the world where it's my duty as a Canadian to spread the word about this amazing show if you guys have never heard of this show there's a channel that has literally all the episodes on YouTube and I'll leave it in the description because it's something truly amazing so do yourself a favor and watch a few episodes and just bask in the weird Canadian danger WCD weird Canadian baby and if ever
