he was 3 jokers left? why are you people allowed to upload this rubbish, you've not got a clue what you're even talking about. This stuff pisses me off that these idiots are allowed to post this stupidity when they clearly haven't got a clue what they are commenting on

I call bs, the biggest fraud on TV is clearly trump/anyone working for fox news/anyone working on wallstreet/anyone who was associated with jeff pstein
so yeah, actually, based on that, still just trump

Imagine a game show that doesn’t give a fuck about integrity, but is about ratings, then squeals like a pig when somebody games their game?
Who fkn cares. A fraud who ‘frauded’ frauds?
He’s a fkn legend.

I absolutely hate when pages like this try to "cleverly" hide their ads by disguising it as a part of the video. Fuck you and fuck everyone like you. I will not fall for that shit, I will always skip ads so just make it clear that it's an ad so it doesn't seem like you are an idiot who thinks people that watch your videos care about your ads.

Charles Ingrim never did anything really noteworthy compared to some of the other people featured on this channel. Ingrim was just a cheat and bad one at that. There's nothing impressive about what he did.

People saying "a googol" wasn't common knowledge back then, it wouldn't be too hard to figure it out by process of elimination. Nanomole and gigabit are out because they are known units, not numbers, and that's much more likely to be known. Megatron is a character from transformers, and that's probably the one I'd most likely be considering other than a googol, which is saying a lot.

How does one throw bags* of vomit at a house?
@AmericanHuskyCash
October 8, 2024 at 3:01 pm
There is almost no clips of anyone actually coughing maybe a few. Very little testimony was made to say there was memory of anyone coughing an abnormal amount. They edited un the coughing to win a case

Really, that was the 1 million question? Hmm I guess knowledge about the origin of the word Google is now much more common than it was back in 2001.

the coughs do seem very loud. You wouldn't have the audience mics picking up everybody coughing and letting it bleed over the contestants and presenter. Go to any room with a lot of people in it and there will be coughing. It's inevitable.

Actually this cheat actually benefited the show because of the media attention ( though i do not encourage cheating)
