00:01On your mark, get set, go!
00:06These two teams look ridiculous in grass skirts
00:09as they try tossing lays around the pineapples.
00:11Whoever rings their partner first
00:13will say aloha to the lead with $20
00:15and control of the Hula Happiness show
00:18on wiki-waki television, Double Dare.
00:21And now, here's your Double Dare host, Mark Summers!
00:27Hi there. Thank you, Harvey. Thank you, audience.
00:30Welcome to Double Dare.
00:31This is the show where we run through a crazy obstacle course
00:34and in the process win eight fabulous prizes.
00:36You did that very well, very quick.
00:38Say hello to a team to my right.
00:39They call themselves the Fat Oxen, Jordan and Sarah.
00:48Jordan, you played cello for eight years, huh?
00:50Yeah.
00:51You still doing that?
00:52I'm still playing.
00:52That's terrific. Would you like to do it professionally?
00:54I'm not sure yet.
00:55That's a great instrument.
00:57And Sarah is a cheerleader
00:58and tell me about this competition in Dallas.
01:01Well, first we had to go to camp
01:02and we won an award called the Award of Excellence
01:04in which you had to go down to Dallas
01:06and compete with cheerleaders all around the country.
01:09That's terrific. Congratulations.
01:11You have $20.
01:12And let's say hello to the team that calls themselves
01:14the Cool Cobras, Dave and Shelley.
01:22This past weekend, Harvey and a couple of the group here from the show
01:25went down to Atlantic City
01:26and there was a baseball card convention down there.
01:28Did you get down to that at all?
01:30Do you go to those at all?
01:31Yeah, sometimes.
01:32Do you have any good cards?
01:35Mostly from 1984 and 1987.
01:38Great. All right.
01:39And Shelley has a collection of seashells, right?
01:42Yeah.
01:42How long have you been doing that?
01:44About three years.
01:44All right.
01:45You have no money just yet.
01:46That will change as time goes on.
01:47Let's talk about the show.
01:48It's one where daring for dollars will double your bucks
01:50and here's how that works.
01:52I'm going to ask you a question
01:53and if you don't know the answer
01:54or think the other team hasn't got a clue,
01:57you can dare them to answer it for double the dollars.
01:59But be careful because they can always double dare you back
02:02for four times the amount
02:03and then you either have to answer that question
02:05or take the physical challenge.
02:07Good luck to the Cool Cobras and to the Fat Oxen.
02:09They have control in a $10 question.
02:12Fat Oxen.
02:12What a strange name.
02:13How many strings are on a standard violin?
02:16You might know this playing cello.
02:18Four.
02:19Four. That is right.
02:20You have added $10 to your score.
02:22Not many string players on this show,
02:24but worked out for this gentleman.
02:26According to the comic books,
02:28in what town do Donald, Daisy, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie live?
02:42Or you could take a double dare to them.
02:45Double dare.
02:46All right.
02:46Double dare over here to Sarah and Jordan.
02:48What town do Donald, Daisy, Huey, Dewey, and Louie live?
02:51Or you could take the physical challenge.
02:53Physical challenge.
02:54The old country, Duckburg.
02:55Okay.
02:55That's where they're from.
02:56Duckburg.
02:57I've never heard of that,
02:58but apparently that's where they live.
03:02Well,
03:02you could take the physical challenge.
03:02Duckburg.
03:02Well,
03:03you both look like you're in great physical shape,
03:06and I need somebody who wants to toss some rubber balls into a bucket.
03:09Who wants to do that?
03:10Do that.
03:10You'll do that?
03:11That means I'd like you to sit right underneath that triangle.
03:13Step over here, if you would, please.
03:15Indian-style facing us.
03:16Just sit down underneath there,
03:17and I need you to step over here and right behind this line.
03:20Now, this bucket of balls will be over here on the floor next to your partner,
03:23and she will be tossing them to you.
03:25All you have to do is get them in the bucket.
03:27Now, you could win this one two ways.
03:28If you get three balls in the bucket, you win.
03:31But if you get one or two, and it makes this bucket go down,
03:34what happens is as this goes down, this bucket over here goes up,
03:37and that's filled with a little liquid we call water.
03:39Okay?
03:40So you sit here.
03:40Don't you move.
03:41Your job is to take these and toss them over to your partner,
03:44either three in the bucket or two or one with a lot of strength to turn it over.
03:48You have 20 seconds.
03:50You can move up right up to this line if you'd like.
03:52Very good.
03:52On your mark.
03:53Get set.
03:54Go!
03:55Toss them over there.
03:57We have none in there so far.
03:58You may want to move a little quicker than that.
04:00You need to get a couple of them in there.
04:02Oh, very close, but not just yet.
04:05We need to get at least one or two.
04:07Oh, that may have gotten something started.
04:08There's one.
04:09It's starting to go now.
04:10There's two.
04:11We have just four seconds left.
04:13Will it work?
04:16Oh, did he get it?
04:17Yes, he got it.
04:18Yes, there are three in that bucket.
04:19Absolutely.
04:20Congratulations.
04:21The water turned over, but they got three in, and that means they get $40.
04:25It also means we are going to take a commercial break,
04:26so we'll be back with lots more Double Dare after this.
04:29Good job.
04:43Hi there.
04:44Welcome back.
04:44It's still round one in Double Dare, and Sarah was very lucky.
04:47Didn't get any water poured on her, but they did get three balls in the old bucket successfully.
04:51They have $40 added to their score.
04:54It brings them up to $70.
04:55Still in control.
04:56Quasimodo was the name of the bell ringer of what famous French church?
05:09Double Dare.
05:10Now worth $40.
05:11The man's name was Quasimodo.
05:13He was the bell ringer of what famous French church, or you can take the physical challenge.
05:17We'll take the physical challenge.
05:20I have that same problem.
05:21Notre Dame.
05:22That's what it is.
05:23Notre Dame.
05:25Right over here is where we need to go.
05:29Well, look what we have here.
05:31We have Harvey's Wild Oats.
05:34Step over here, if you would, please.
05:36Harvey has been into other things besides announcing our show.
05:39He also has the wild oat business, and we're going to take these and put these over here.
05:43And why don't you step right over here behind this line?
05:45And if you could come over in this direction and stand behind this line.
05:49This is one where you will start off over here, and your partner will take the four cans of oats
05:54and stack them on your hand.
05:56Now, with the other hand, you have to put it either behind your back or at your side.
05:59Walk all the way over here to your partner.
06:02Then you must hand the four containers to your partner using one hand and you using one hand.
06:07If they tip, you've got to go back and start again, okay?
06:09So it goes from this side of the stage, put the four on this hand,
06:12go all the way to the other side of the stage, and 30 seconds or less, we'll add $40 to
06:16your score.
06:16Understand what you have to do?
06:17How about you?
06:19Yes.
06:19Good. All right.
06:20$40 on your mark.
06:21Get set. Go!
06:22Get those going.
06:24There's one.
06:24There's two.
06:25He's going for number three.
06:27And slow and steady with this race, but you don't want to take too much time,
06:31because if it falls, seconds will preciously be ticking away.
06:36All right.
06:37There's number one.
06:38Now they need to make the exchange.
06:39They have 13 seconds left.
06:41And this is where it is very important.
06:44Oh, it fell down.
06:45Okay, get the other one on.
06:46Get the other one on.
06:46You can put it on.
06:47We are down to just six seconds.
06:49Four, three, two, one.
06:52Oh, time ran out.
06:54That means we will put $40 on this side of the board and they are in control.
06:57Nice try.
07:00Almost had it, but apparently it didn't work for them.
07:04So the Cool Cobras, Dave and Shelly, have control.
07:06They also have $40 now.
07:08Heliology is the study of what?
07:10Is it ice crystals, the sun, or Band-Aids?
07:16Or you could dare them.
07:18It would bring you to 50 if you're correct.
07:20Dare.
07:21Dare, now worth $20.
07:22Heliology is the study of what?
07:24Ice crystals, the sun, or Band-Aids?
07:28Or you could double dare them back.
07:31The sun.
07:32The sun is right.
07:33Add $20 over here.
07:34Uleology is the study of sun.
07:36Very good.
07:38Tell me, Jordan and Sarah, in the poem Casey at the Bat,
07:41what was the hometown of Casey's team?
07:43Would bring you to $100.
07:46Mudville.
07:47There's no joy in Mudville.
07:48Mighty Casey has struck out.
07:50$100 and a $60 lead for the fat oxen.
07:54Who was called the Divine Miss M
07:56long before making an outrageous fortune
07:58for being one of the ruthless people?
08:02It's worth $10 or you can dare them.
08:04Dare.
08:05Now worth $20.
08:05Bring you up to $60.
08:06Who was called the Divine Miss M
08:08long before making an outrageous fortune
08:11for being one of the ruthless people?
08:14Or you could double dare them back.
08:17Double dare.
08:17Now worth $40.
08:29Bette Midler.
08:29Bette Midler.
08:30You are right.
08:30Put $40 over there.
08:33Where did you pull that out?
08:34That was great.
08:35I knew the two people that were in Ruthless People.
08:37You knew the two people in Ruthless People
08:39and you took a shot and you were right.
08:40All right.
08:40You have $140.
08:42And that sound means it is the end of round one.
08:44And with $140, the fat oxen have the lead.
08:46$40 over here.
08:48But we are going to come back with a $40 toss up.
08:50Try and find some mess on this stage.
08:52It's been very clean so far.
08:53Don't go away.
08:54We're going to come back with
08:55Let's Move Under Dare right after this.
09:10Welcome back to round two of Double Dare.
09:12That means all the dollar values will be doubled.
09:14And when you hear Beth the buzzer, that means the game is over.
09:17Now down here, we have a red team and they have straws in their hands.
09:20And in front of them, they have a container of some yucky substance.
09:23It's very thick and goopy.
09:25Over here, the blue team has the same thing.
09:27I will say on your mark, get set, go.
09:28All you have to do is put that straw in that liquid
09:30and fill that empty cup past the line.
09:33First team to do that gets $40 in control of round two.
09:36On your mark, get set, go.
09:39Get in there and do it.
09:40First team to do it gets $40 in control of round two.
09:42This is very important.
09:46$40 at stake.
09:47And it would be very important to whatever side does pull this off.
09:51Once again, we have to go past the line.
09:53And there is no time limit in this.
09:54It's 140 to 40.
09:56And it seems like our red team, the Blue Covers, have a slight edge so far.
10:01Red team is making their move, but so far, so good for the red team.
10:06And yes, I see it.
10:07It is past the line over here.
10:09Nice job.
10:09Let's move back.
10:11And she's going to swallow that stuff.
10:15Yes.
10:16Just like the dentist's office, she's going to rinse and spit now.
10:19Watch this, ladies and gentlemen.
10:20There it goes.
10:20Yes.
10:21One of my favorite parts of the show.
10:23All right.
10:23$40 added to Dave and Shelley's score.
10:25They have 80.
10:27And pretty good stuff, Shelley, huh?
10:29Yeah.
10:30Okay.
10:30A $20 question.
10:32On a letter received from an admirer, what do the letters S-W-A-K on the back of the
10:38envelope stand for?
10:40It's worth $20 would bring you to $100.
10:43Or you could dare them.
10:47Quickly, before time runs out.
10:48Dare.
10:49Now worth $40.
10:50On a letter received from an admirer, what do the letters S-W-A-K on the back of the
10:55envelope stand for?
10:56Sealed with a kiss.
10:57You're absolutely right.
10:58You have added $40.
11:00Sealed with a kiss.
11:03How do you know that, Jordan?
11:04As Sarah told me.
11:05Oh, okay.
11:07George A. Green and Will Scarlet were members of what famous band?
11:12Was it Led Zeppelin?
11:13Was it Uncle John's band?
11:15Or was it Robin Hood's band of merry men?
11:18Yes.
11:19Bring it to $200 or you could dare them.
11:22Dare.
11:23Now worth $40.
11:24George A. Green and Will Scarlet were members of what famous band?
11:28Was it Led Zeppelin, Uncle John's band, or Robin Hood's band of merry men?
11:33It's worth $40.
11:34Would bring you to $120.
11:35Or you could double dare them back.
11:39Ooh, time ran out.
11:40It's Robin Hood's band of merry men.
11:42Put $40 over here to the fat oxen.
11:44If you lose control like that, it'll cost you dollars, so jump in or say double dare.
11:49Okay, Jordan and Sarah, what is traditionally the tallest piece on a chessboard?
11:54The king.
11:55I am the king.
11:56Yes, $240.
11:57It's a commercial back in Los Angeles.
12:01Tell me, fat oxen.
12:03What a strange name.
12:04Son of Kong was the 1933 sequel to what film?
12:09Would bring you to $260?
12:13Dare.
12:13Now worth $40.
12:14Son of Kong was the 1933 sequel to what film?
12:19King Kong.
12:19You are right.
12:19At $40.
12:20You have $120.
12:22And you are now down by $120.
12:25Tell me, what is the cause of most forest fires?
12:28Is it lightning, cigarettes, or overcooked s'mores?
12:36Lightning.
12:37Lightning is right.
12:37At another $20.
12:38Making their move now.
12:40$140 for the cool cobras.
12:42What kind of animal is an oyster catcher?
12:46What kind of animal is an oyster catcher?
12:48Dare.
12:48Now worth $40.
12:49Trying to find out what kind of animal is an oyster catcher would bring you to $280.
12:54Double dare.
12:54Now worth $80.
12:56Physical challenge.
12:56Physical challenge?
12:57Okay, an oyster catcher is a bird.
12:59It's a shore bird with a long orange red bill.
13:01Okay, and we have an $80 physical challenge.
13:04And this could certainly, oh, walk this way if you would, please.
13:08Now, this is called Life of the Party, and we try and be as informational as possible on this show.
13:13Here are three simple steps to becoming the life of the party.
13:16Serve chips and dip, use a noisemaker, and always, always wear a lampshade on your head.
13:21Who would like to wear the lampshade?
13:23Oh, good.
13:24You step over there next to Dave, and you step over there next to Rob.
13:27And now over here, we have a lampshade.
13:29We want it to go right on your head, okay?
13:31All good parties have this.
13:32And over here, before we do that for the full time, what I want you to do is look in
13:36there.
13:36This is a dip.
13:37And inside those dips, we already have the chips.
13:39Looks good, right?
13:40Yes.
13:40Oh, good.
13:40Now, all you have to do is find some chips and toss them over to your partner who will be
13:45wearing that party hat,
13:46who will be making noise with that noisemaker, and trying to catch two in that container in 20 seconds or
13:51less, all right?
13:52One at a time is the way they must go, and we're looking for two in that container, and you
13:56must go behind the line, all right?
13:57Now, keep that noisemaker going.
13:59On your mark, get set, go!
14:01Find some dip and toss it over there.
14:04There's, oh, almost there, but not successfully caught.
14:08And you have to do it a little harder than that.
14:09Here goes some more dip.
14:11And will she catch it?
14:12Oh, down to nine seconds, going for $80.
14:14Oh, in and out.
14:17Keep going.
14:18Down to three seconds.
14:20They got one.
14:22Oh, yes, they got it.
14:24Out of the buzzer.
14:24They got two in.
14:25Congratulations.
14:26We will add 80.
14:27They have 220.
14:29Very exciting physical challenges today, right down to the wire.
14:32Still control.
14:33Oh, that sound means the end of the game.
14:35And by $20, the fat option.
14:38Yes!
14:38Today's Dan the Double Dare.
14:40Congratulations.
14:41$120 apiece.
14:42More important, a trip to the Double Dare obstacle course.
14:44Dave Shelley, you played a spectacular game.
14:46We ran out of time.
14:47You get $110 apiece.
14:49And, Harvey, what else do they get today?
14:51Well, Mark, every contestant on today's show gets the official Double Dare home game,
14:54featuring the unique stunt helmet that lets you do over 100 outrageous physical challenges.
14:59Yours from Pressman Toys and from Double Dare.
15:02And our second place team today will also get the GE Steppin' Up.
15:05Keep up close to home or on the road with the Steppin' Up.
15:07Colorful compact music with the exclusive Bud earphones and its own built-in storage compartment.
15:11And they'll also each receive Tyco's four-wheel drive super turbo hopper.
15:16Big 112 scale provides four-wheel drive, four-wheel suspension, and twin-turbo motors from Tyco.
15:22We're getting ready to run today's obstacle course when we come right back.
15:30Hi, welcome to the Double Dare obstacle course where Jordan and Sarah got here by $20.
15:34You won by just $20, and congratulations.
15:37Let's get started today on the one-ton human hamster wheel.
15:40Jordan, when I say go, you'll walk around this huge wheel and keep walking up this wall until I tell
15:44you to stop.
15:45As you do that, these lights will light up.
15:46When it hits the number six, that boxing glove comes down.
15:49Then, Sarah, you grab that flag.
15:51You don't have to pass it, but if you do it successfully, Harvey, what will they win?
15:54A $150 gift certificate to KB Toys.
15:57Where do you go to find great toys? KB Toy Stores.
15:59And where do you go to find KB Toy Stores?
16:01Your nearest shopping mall, KB America's Toy Store.
16:04So you'll grab that flag, Sarah.
16:06You'll come into this great big bird cage.
16:08It's called Bye Bye Birdie.
16:09Get in either through the slots, or if you want to open the door, do that.
16:12You can sit on the perch and then pull on this little thing right here,
16:14and then a little surprise will drop down as well as a flag.
16:17Grab that flag, pass it over to Jordan, and win this prize.
16:19This new Mad Magazine Skateboard.
16:21It's a pro-style deck, complete with protective accessories,
16:24equipped with full precision bearings. Knee and elbow pads are included.
16:29Number three today is the sewer chute,
16:31and Jordan gets to go into this large tube right over here.
16:34And you will notice that there is a rope in there.
16:36Once you get inside, I want you to pull on that rope,
16:38and a bucket with a surprise as well as a flag will drop down.
16:41Then you need to climb up this ladder.
16:43Follow me if you would, please.
16:44And you want to pick up some time, go head first down our tube.
16:47And over here it says, Slippery Sewage.
16:49That's what it looks like to me. Pretty yucky.
16:51Your hand will be outstretched.
16:53The flag will be in it.
16:54It'll be Pasta Sarah, and then you'll win this.
16:56You and your pet can have fun with Carousel's Gumball Machine
16:59and Stand and Yuppie Puppy Treat Machine for dogs.
17:02Carousel Gumballs and Yuppie Puppy Treats are included.
17:06This can be a very easy one, but for some reason it hangs people up.
17:09Inside we have a lot of articles of clothing.
17:11Somewhere in those articles of clothing is a flag.
17:13Once you find it, pass it over to your partner.
