-->'''John''': (after the Piece of Sharp answer) [[DeadpanSnarker It’s gotta be up there.]]

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: [[https://youtu.be/BbzilsInq1w?si=IGslqei3TWzidTzp This moment from The Ohio Alums vs The Firefighters]]. The prompt? "Be careful handling that (BLANK), it could poke your eye out!" The Firefighters state the P____ O____ S____ is a "piece of stick". When the Ohio Alums get a chance to steal points, they answer back with a "piece of sharp". [[WhatTheHellPlayer Cue a "What did that person just say?!” look from John Michael Higgins]] and the team clapping along like it was a good answer. [[note]] For the record, the answer was Pair of Scissors. [[/note]]

* ScrappyMechanic: Very few people find the Skip to be any kind of help in the already [[NintendoHard tough-as-nails]] BonusRound, since it does absolutely nothing to help a team that’s stuck on an answer. Many have suggested replacing it with something that adds additional letters to any given answer to help nudge teams in the right direction when they’re stuck; while the Skip remained unchanged through five seasons of ''Says'', the later GSN original ''Hey Yahoo!'' would implement the additional letter idea throughout its format.

* FandomRivalry: With ''Series/FamilyFeud'', predictably. ''Feud'' fans tend to criticize this show for its bland atmosphere, boring host, nigh-{{Unwinnable}} BonusRound, and its format seemingly going out of its way to encourage contestants to give increasingly stupid guesses until time runs out once they run out of ideas, whereas most of these are what make the show endearing to its fans and criticize ''Feud'' for increasingly going out of its way to be [[HotterAndSexier deliberately risqué]].

* WhatAnIdiot: Usually, teams that have a teammate call an answer out of turn try to be more careful at least for the rest of the current round, but in at least one episode, one of the team members called an answer out of turn ''three'' times in a row (despite John saying "out of turn" increasingly louder each time) during the '''bonus round''', ensuring that the team wouldn't win the episode.
