I must have been a sadistic child. I was rooting FOR the Whammy. And to this day, I am still rooting for that Whammy.

"One if by check! Two if by cash! The Whammies are coming to steal your stash!" CLASSIC!

"All I Need is Cash. Give Me All Your Money!" Some good/old memory comes back to me.

"All I hear is 'Big Bucks! Big Bucks!'. I gotcha Big Buck!" LOL! 😂

28 years after the shows cancellation and I still enjoy watching these as if it were yesterday! Nice collection!

What a fascinating show this was! Three hapless people drawn to a hypnotic, flashing monolith that promises them riches. If they displease it, they leave broke and humiliated. Still, the contestants keep coming, and we can’t stop watching!

5:48 - The Boy George one will live forever in my mind. It stuck there ever since I was a kid.

These were hilarious ..seeing the contestants getting pissed even made it funnier😂😂😂😂😂

I love when the contestant reacts/plays along

The only game show where I actually wanted to see people lose. The Whammy rules! Hahahaha.

My favorite one is "All I hear is 'Big bucks, big bucks.' I got your big buck!" I like how the Whammy in that case not only steals the contestant's money but also mocks them! There's also another one that wasn't shown in this video where the Whammy is bowling, and he says "I'm bowling for bucks, and it's a strike!" Then the bowling ball reappears behind the Whammy and he says "Uh-oh..." and the ball runs him over.

In the golden age of game shows, this show brought on so much anxiety 😂

Imagine how much fun the crew that put the whammies together must have had. I've always wondered how many unaired whammies were created and whether any still exist in a vault somewhere.

The funny thing is the Whammies can sing better than most modern "singers".

Absolutely loved Breakdance Whammy.

God I miss the 80s...everyone and everything was so awesome and fun back then.

Michael Larson was a master of this game show he didn’t cheat it was his skill

I used to love to watch this show when I was little.

Whammy should get his own film. It’s a love story with heart, emotion, and whammys!

Even at age 28, can't get enough of those danged whammies!!!

OMG!!! I LOVED this show!! 😃😃😃

I'd watch this show just to see this happen to them! Brings back memories!

11:40 "Hasta luego! Arrivederci! Bon voyage! That means goodbye!" That one was pure evil! 🤣

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!

Best collection of whammies ever. Nearly half of them I wasn't able to see in my childhood!

You forgot the one when a person gets 4 whammies and the Whammy dressed up as an umpire says "You're Out".

"Elementry my dear Fang. It was greed that got him." LOL

"I'M OPEN I'M OPEN THROW ME THE BOMB THROW ME THE!"(BOOM.) LOL

staying home from school to watch the wAmmmie circa 85

I admit it, I actually watched this show just for the whammies, some of them were very creative and downright hilarious.

The surfing one's my face, because of how adorable he whammy sounds when he says,'It's a wipe ouuuuuuut!' Also, I tend to like the earlier show's animations, because they were more primitive, thus making them more cute to me. :)

I love Peter Tomarken's reaction when Robert loses it all. Other than the Whammies and the contestants' reactions, Peter made the show what it was.

Best thing about growing up in the 80s and staying home from school, was seeing contestants getting humiliated by the whammy. My mom used to get so frustrated with the contestants getting so greedy and ends up leaving with nothing. I loved the reboot it brought back memories of my childhood, now my children enjoys watching and says no whammies!!! lol.

I watched Press Your Luck while I was growing up and I always laughed whenever the Whammy came up and they're different antics was freaking hilarious and it still is after all these years whether it's Whammy!The All New Press Your Luck or the new Press Your Luck where contestants have a chance at winning $1 million dollars.

8:10 Michael Jackson Whammy was the only one i remembered from the show! xD

In reality for every Whammy, two groups of people cheered. The other opponents and the producers paying the cash prizes!

Love it that the First Baptist Church got a Whammy.

Oh my lord, thank you!!! I'd been looking for the one where Peter fainted after a guy lost 30 grand forever! I knew I didn't just dream that up!

"I cannot tell a lie, YOU LOSE" Had me cracking up

all I hear is big bucks big bucks... I got your big buck here xD

"This is it. A new world record!" That was cool.

My favorite was always the Bluegrass band at 5:10! It always brought a smile to my face

I used to love watching this show with my grandma when I was a little kid.

Sweet potatoes, cranberries, and... *WAM* ...a turkey. 😂😂😂

That was too funny when Peter was shown lying on the floor after that guy lost over $30,000 to a Whammy.

2:48 “If elected, I will raise your taxes!” 😁 Gets me every time! 🤣

RIP host Peter Tomarken!

"Who would ever hurt a whammy?" at 5:43 was always my favorite as a kid. Sorry lady, hahaha.

Personally, my three favorite whammies were the "elimination" whammies (the whammies that would only play when a player got the fourth whammy; though this only happened in the second and third seasons) 1. The cruise boat whammy (which was shown twice here), the umpire whammy and the Barbershop quartet whammy...

I wonder how many times a contestant who got whammied yelled a four-letter word that had to be deleted.

The Cyndi Lauper whammy is the GOAT, LOL.

9:22 😂😂 I was looking to find the whammy on the electric guitar - thanks for uploading!

I love the Cyndi Lauper/Madonna and Michael Jackson Whammies

TRG: Stop Host: Stop at a whammy TRG: GAMEEEEEEE!

4th grade me loved Press Your Luck.. and I STILL do, too! 😊

6:05 my favorite of all-time 😂😂

7:15-7:33 that made it to Game Show Marathon as a question for the viewers at home where you could win some prizes. *I miss Game Show Marathon*

My favorite is when the lit panel is a prize for a fraction of second and then changes to a whammy. Deliciously cruel.

Love those whammies! They are funny!

GOD’S PERFECT GAME SHOW

Michael Larson - The Whammy's worst nightmare

Now appearing in the center ring -- The Great Whamini!

the "Do you really want to hurt me" Whammy parody of Culture Club. "Whammy"

I love Breakdancing whammy with the 80s boombox

Omg! The final minute ... The dude losing over $30,000 .... This was a cool compilation. Thank you for putting this together

2:03 is the best LOL!!!! That lop-sided hairdo just ads to it! HA HA HA! "OH NO!!!"

Paul's 2nd Whammy at 10:47, the "walk like an Egyptian" one, didn't get stopped on a whole lot, from what I recall

Me: Come on, big bucks! Stop! Host: Stop at a whammy! Me: Dang it! Tammy: ( Singing ) It's good to have your money back again! Whammy: Ladies and Gentleman, Tammy Whammette! ( Pie in the face ) Host: I'm sorry, But you got your first whammy. Ok? Me: That's ok.

One missing is another one when you whammy out. The tenor singing "you're out". As well as the baseball umpire one where he also says you're out.

5:29 One if by check, two if by cash The Whammies are coming to steal your stash!

My favorite whammy was the barbershop band! I loved that! Any of the whammys that were special if you got 4 of them

I love those darn whammies. 😂

The Elvis whammy was good.

How could you NOT crack up at 5:44!!!!!!!

Elementary my dear Fang, it was greed that GOT HIM

2:07, 2:33 & 12:53 are my favorite whammies, especially "I wanna get a picture of you losing your money. Say cheese!"

The Whammy clips all have one thing in common: "BYE BYE MONEY!"

That was a surprise at the end, but concerning...poor host passed out!

I love the Paul revere whammy!

3:36 -- Fun fact: Holmes never said the full quote, and only ever used the adjective in _The Crooked Man_. 4:43 -- That means the Whammy (or a pinch-runner) advances to first automatically. 10:02 -- Somewhere, Murphy laughed. BTW, did Paul have any relatives in British television? Because I swear he looks like a younger (and saner) version of Harrison Chase from the Fourth Doctor chiller _The Seeds of Doom_. 12:02 -- With apologies to Friz Freleng: ♪Now the Whammy, he was a swingin' like a gate/Doin' Liberace on the eighty-eight...♪ 13:24 -- Somewhere Murphy laughed again.

"Throw me the bomb I'm open! Oh no..." (My favorite one)

No other game show make you hurt sooo much...but they always cracked a 😃 smile

Surely, you mean best TWO episodes ever!!!

I wonder if the contestants knew that all the kids who watched Press Your Luck were wishing they would hit a Whammy so the kids could have a quick laugh at the cartoon animations that denoted their misfortune.

"Who would ever hurt a whammy, who would ever want..OW!"

LOL at the Big Buck Pun!

This has always been, and always, will be "MY MOST FAVORITE GAME SHOW OF ALL TIME" Although it is sad 😢 that the original "PRESS YOUR LUCK" HOST "PETER TOMARKEN" is gone, Contrary to what contestants would say about the "WHAMMY": PETER will always be missed. "R.I.P PETER".

3:12 - My all time favorite

The one at 0:42 gets me every time "Was it something I said?"

Why do I enjoy watching this so much?

The Daily spin in Bejeweled is now based on this Press your luck board (No Whammies *just prizes) *Little bucks and Medium Bucks (Coins) Big Bucks (Gold Bars) Prizes (Shards and Rare Gems)

7:33 SO PAINFUL!!! AWWWWW.....

I love the "Whammy songs" that were not-so-changed versions of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me", "Billie Jean"... did I miss any?

Love the Eddie Van Halen whammy. Plus that lady at the end was a sore winner.

Press Your Luck 1983-1984-1985-1986 Hosted By Rebecca Peters, Emily Blunt, Xavier Burke, Hazel Burke, Tom Kennedy & Peter Tomarken & Whammy! The All New Press Your Luck 2002-2003 Hosted By Cow & Todd Newton

OMG!! Love the "Cnydi Lauper" Whammy at 3:05.... hilarious and unexpected!!

My favorite Whammy of all time has to be the Elvis Whammy (1:52).

Still they are adorable ❤

Loved the Eddie Van Halen whammy.

🎶 Who would ever hurt a whammy? Who would ever want to--OW!! 🎶
