Match Game '08 continues: Question "B"

[thatcrazycajun]

Many, many thanks to all those of you who responded so...um...creatively to yesterday's inaugural installment of "Match Game '08," the newest periodic feature on STTL in which we prove that Gene Rayburn, Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly, gods rest them, did not live in vain. (My favorite was beki 's very Somers-esque response, "Three goths, two fairies, and a partridge in a pear tree." Dear, I loved Brett and Rose too, which shows you how much I adore sick, sick, sick women—or should that be "sick³"?)

Now, since we've had Question A, in true Match Game tradition, it's time for Question B. Let's see how you all do with this one, starring an old Match Game staple, Dumb Dora:
Dumb Dora was so dumb (pause as audience shouts in unison, "How dumb was she?") she ended up in the hospital after mistaking a tube of _________ for toothpaste!

And more nominations for present-day celebrities to fill a new MG panel are still welcome. I like terriwells' idea of Robin Williams for MC, but he'd likely want too much money to be more than an occasional panelist. And Phillip Seymour Hoffman or Eddie Izzard would indeed be fine selections for the CNR chair.

"HOW DUMB WAS SHE!"

Well, Bill Engvall would'a said Preparation H... but I think I've gotta go with PolyGrip. (i.e. denture adhesive.... after all, it's tooth paste! :)

I suspected Prep H would be the first answer to come to most of my friends' minds. Do I know my people, or what? :-)

Dude, what a gimme.

Also, there has to be an occasional place on the panel for Jackie Mason.

(1) K-Y jelly was my first impulse. ;)

(2) On the other hand, one of my favorite Tank McNamara cartoons of all time was about "Laszlo" the tennis player [very clearly a parody of Ivan Lendl -- complete with the signature argyle patterned polo shirt -- who was absolutely rolling in the endorsement money at that point in his career] just breezing in to a studio to do an advertisement... without wasting time on a rehearsal. There were a toothbrush and a tube involved, yes, but the final panel read something along the lines of:

"Didn't Laszlo read the words 'deep heating rub' in the contract?"
"Laszlo only read the words '$50,000 dollars' in the contract."

(3) And yeah, Philip Seymour Hoffman might be good in the CNR Memorial Chair. Or how about Harvey Keitel? (Ah, I realize anew how much I miss waspish elitist sarcasm like CNR and Rex Reed in these days of bathroom humor movie stars like Adam Sandler and radio shock personalities from Howard Stern to Adam Carolla.) I'd also love to see Matthew Broderick as an occasional guest panelist - I think the contrast between his look of boyish innocence and the answers he might be inspired to come up with could be great fun.

Well Gene, Dora went to see her gynecologist and used her tube of monistat (yeast infection stuff.

Close seconds were Preparation H and KY jelly. I wanted to use something a little different ;)

Those on the panel were paid a standard days wage (like the minimum) for their appearances on game shows and talk shows. If it was worth staying in front of the camera and in public, it was probably worth it.

What about Fannie Flagg's spot?

_Library paste_. All the really good ones were already taken. :-(

Wasabi.

For the Brett Somers chair.....how about either Judy Tenuta or Tracey Ullman?
