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

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

"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! 😂

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!

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

I love when the contestant reacts/plays along

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

My Mother was just 10 years old when the show premiered.

Absolutely loved Breakdance Whammy.

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

OMG!!! I LOVED this show!! 😃😃😃

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!

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

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!

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

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.

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

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

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

staying home from school to watch the wAmmmie circa 85

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Love it that the First Baptist Church got a Whammy.

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

The Cyndi Lauper whammy is the GOAT, LOL.

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

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

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

Anthony Walker: Man, I used to love watchin' this ol' game show when I was little. My brother did the same thing when he was little, too, and I know my mom loved seeing that as well, and now, I can watch it anytime I want! 🧒

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

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

GOD’S PERFECT GAME SHOW

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

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

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

LOL at the Big Buck Pun!

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

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

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...

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

Love those whammies! They are funny!

RIP host Peter Tomarken!

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

I love Breakdancing whammy with the 80s boombox

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

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

The Elvis whammy was good.

hahahah the breaking dancing one was my fav

6:05 my favorite of all-time 😂😂

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.

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

I love the Paul revere whammy!

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*

Michael Larson - The Whammy's worst nightmare

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

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

I love those darn whammies. 😂

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

I love the Cyndi Lauper/Madonna and Michael Jackson Whammies

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

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

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

Hm, Arin and Danny really nailed the voices.

after 20yrs+ this shit is still funny..... If im right wasnt this show in the 80s???? If so thats when the BEST shit was ever made (music some of it lol) Im proud to be born in the 80s.... They dont make shows like this anymore... Best tv show to come out of the 80s was MWC (married with children) Best game show PRESS UR LUCK....

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

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

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

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

Surely, you mean best TWO episodes ever!!!

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

3:12 - My all time favorite

Elementary my dear Fang, it was greed that GOT HIM

stop at a whammy lol they are the most funniest cartoon 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.

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

Wow a lot of these still had the patterns Michael Larson memorized.

Why do I enjoy watching this so much?

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

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

Loved the Eddie Van Halen whammy.

7:56 AGH! Whammy sanked my battleship!

I like the Micheal Jackson Whammy lol

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

The whammy on the boat waving one of my favorites

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