some talents were just dumb - Figure It Out (1997) Discussion

[–] angelflames809 19 years ago

Lmao! I saw that one last week...it didn't even look like florida...I betcha he couldn't do massachusettes. But there were sooo many dumb talents like this one girl invented a water spewing alarm clock. If you don't get up you get squirted with water....the thing that's stupid is your bed sheets will be all damp after wards! And she probobly didn't even make it...her dad probobly did. That's what I hate about the show.. Half the time the inventions they made were useless, or they didn't make it.a parent made it. There are a bunch of other "talents" that were dumd..but I can't think of any....

There was the girl who had the buzzer that would go off when she put her elbows on the table. But it only worked when you put your elbows on the buzzer. Like, just push the buzzer away.

I could live to be 132 and the image of that toddler happily scooping cereal out of the "chest bowl" will never leave me. It's not a talent...it's just gross.

The dog that "sang" on a beanbag chair is stupid because the dog just kind of screeches. Cow-pie bingo isn't a talent...it's still just luck.

The one where some boy created a slime-protector helmet or something like that was dumb.

I know, that was the lamest thing ever on the show. Some of them were gross or just stupid, but that was lame. The fact that the girl and her mother thought this was a real accomplishment showed how lame their lives were.

Grossest, though was the cereal chest bowl boys, and stupidest was the rat-tail boy.

There was this one where the girl made a heart shape with her throat-and then it was over! Whoopee!

I didn't like the one where the boy was born with "the big dipper" on his back

You could tell that the panelists were pretending to be amazed when a ridiculous talent was revealed. Like they'd work so hard through 3 rounds only to find out that a kid can say the ABCs backwards.

[–] peacebe_dajourney 19 years ago

i remember one, it wasn't exactly dumb (it was actually a pretty good idea) but anyways, the kid invented a glow in the dark safety marker that you used in the woods to help keep track of her path *note that you write with this marker* and one panelist asked the kid if he wrote with it and the kid said no. made no sense to me.

The Chest bowl was gross. I thought the one where the girl sat ont he swing andkicked her shoes off was dumb because ANYONE can do that also the one where the kid demonstrated allagator camoflauge and I thought it was going to be cool and then all he did was sit on the back of an allagotor who had his mouth muzzeled and closed his eyes. I wasliek WTF?!?! That's not a talent thats just annoying an allgator

[–] Redhawkof2008 19 years ago

One I thought was stupid was the one where this girl invented this 'no hands umbrella' and all she did was cut a stit in a vest and put the umbrella handle in it. Woooowwwww.

hahah i saw one tonight where this boy and his mom could flip pancakes really fast so i was kinda expecting it to be like especially fast but they just flipped them and they kept falling out, i was like what? and a panelist asked if you do it at home and they said no. so where the hell else do you flip pancakes? your own restaurant? i wish i could see all those kids now.

That kid who invented the fishbowl for cats or something like that. He wouldn't even let the cat use it. He flicked water at it. *eye roll*

reply

[–] silblaze 19 years ago

I saw that a few days ago. He drank out of the water bowl too.

Talents I saw that are stupid.
-Teaching your dog to jump over your back. (The girl called it playing leapfrog)
-3 girls in the stand performed a dance. Not much of a talent.
-Mouse catcher invention.

[–] cdogg6705 19 years ago

One of the talents I thought was stupid was on yesterday's episode when a boy could name the day of the week for every date. He said he had an "equation" for doing that but he wouldn't tell anyone what it was. I was thinking he probably wouldn't tell anyone because he didn't have an equation.
I just like watching this show because of the stupid talents.

remember the girl that sung lobsters to sleep? WTF was up with that?

reply

[–] xCHICKENS_CANT_MOOx 19 years ago

I would have to say the nastiest contestant "talent" of all was the little girl who's dog licked the inside of her MOUTH for water! (Or milk) So technically her mouth was the dogs drinking bowl....?...

That was just nauseating, her laying on her back while her 8 year old dog is practically making out with her....*starts to throw up in mouth a little*

And anyone remeber the little girl and dad who's (not so much of a talent) was putting lobster eyeballs on their tounges!!?? And that was it. !!!!!???

I'm sorry, all I heard was Blah, Blah, Blah. I'm a dirty tramp.

The slime hat was stupid, when are you gonna need that? The kid probably invented it cos he knew it'd get him on the show.

I saw one the other day where this kid invented floor scrubber shoes. All he did was tie some scrubbers to some shoes. And from the way he was usin them, it looked near impossible to clean with them.

[–] peacebe_dajourney 19 years ago

Even though the contestant's inventions/interesting things they do were very lame, sometimes the audience was lamer. This one kid stood up, did a backflip, and sat back down. You could tell Summer was like "OK, waiting for the talent"

And when they would show the videos that kids sent in, oh gosh, those were just ridiculous. Made you realize why dumb kids were on the show. Some kids were even dumber than them.

But to be fair, some kids actully had some degree of talent. I remember one kid who was a yo-yo champion and he actully was doing an assload of tricks. That was pretty cool.

reply

[–] hoopstar492 18 years ago

yea i saw the yo-yo kid too but i felt so bad for him because he kept messing up since he was so nervous. I thought that the girl with the stilts was cool.

[–] peacebe_dajourney 18 years ago

I remember seeing one where this kid invented a marker you could use to mark your trail in the woods.

A lot of them were stupid. There were a couple cool ones. Like one were a girl did tricks on an elephant. That was pretty cool I mean it wasn't very challenging but they said she had to go to lot of trining so she didn't hurt the elephant and she had to go to auditions. That on was pretty cool.

And then there were stupid ones. One was a pig doing a bellyflop. They didn't do it themselves the kid had to push them. Now I am going to be on, I can make paper fall off table all I have to do it blow on it. I mean come on this was really ridiculous.

Then there were the ones that weren't cool but they took some talent. Like the national solo syncronized swimmer. That isn't all that cool but it does take some talent. She probably worked really hard.

I think this show was jsut for laughs and the panel asked the stupidest questions like the following...
- am i pretty
- does it have anything to do with this show
- r u going to show us it later
- Is my name (whatever the panalists name was)
- do you want to win the grand prize
- ect.

It wasn't a bad show I always find it hillarious with the stupid questions and the stupid "talents". But there are gross ones and there are weird ones. But all and all this show wasn't too bad. It was just weird.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who thinks there was stupid/gross talent. I guess the only reason I watch is just like everyone else, curiousity. As mentioned before, for every like four gross/talentless person, there was like one really cool person. I do love how proud some people were of their lack of talent.

i know this is an old post, but I'm surprised no one mentioned the one where the girl hung 6 Gatorade bottles from her face. the worse part was, she ended up with the grand prize of going to Jamaica while the kid, who was on before her at least had a REAL talent. he was a "self taught opera soloist". he had a lot of work to do, but it was way better than "Bottlefacegirl". he took home some lame table football game and a skateboard. wow. while bottle-girl took home an $100 Toys R Us gift-certificate, some other cool stuff AND the grand prize trip to Jamaica. this episode came on last night.
