Punch-A-Bunch clip from early 1985.
« on: August 26, 2006, 10:58:10 AM »
See Barker get the Punch-A-Bunch rules confused when the contestant punches multiple "Second Chance" punches.  He even takes his frustration out on the lovely Janice.  The show was taped on his birthday in 1984.

Part 1-
Part 2-

GREAT clip! That has to be one of the funniest (and longest) playings of Punch-A-Bunch I've ever seen!

Excellent clip! The interaction between Bob and Janice was so funny not just in this playing, but other Punchboard playings as well during this era. Thanks Ted, keep 'em coming!

"You three are DRUNK!"

This is the stuff I miss about the show.

Thanks Ted. :-D

You say 1984, but when they should that last part in clip 3, it sounded like Rod laughing. Johnny didn't pass until Oct. 1985

Wow, I always wondered if this ever happened, getting two Second Chaces in a row or more. I got the answer. :D

Those second chance slips have tripped Bob up a couple of times at least. I had an episode from around '91 where he makes the same mistake and argues again with the producers and Janice when they correct him.

I don't think that's Rod.  I don't think that's Johnny either.  It is probably one of the replacement hosts from late 1985 or early 1986.

How the hell could it be one of the fill-in announcers if it was taped in December '84?

My apologies...

The copyright date for the show is 1985, however, Rod is the announcer on this episode, so it must have taped in December of 1985, and aired in early 1986.

Actually, I would guess it aired in December, as well...there's only room in January for at most one Rod episode before Rich Jeffries starts.
