** ''New Family Feud'' isn't the official title of either the prior four seasons (1988–92) hosted by Combs, the 1994-95 season hosted by Dawson, or any subsequent versions. This didn't stop Creator/{{GSN}} from referring to Richard Karn's version as such when they acquired it (nor did the fact that he had been replaced by John O'Hurley by that point).

* ItsPopularNowItSucks: Among game show fans, Steve Harvey's version. GSN's repeated airings of this version and the fact that it relies on HotterAndSexier humor is likely one of the reasons.

** One survey about "another way people would say 'mother'" ran dry very quickly, with the contestants saying whatever two-syllable words sounding roughly like 'mama' they could come up with, and Steve saw the pattern immediately, not just mocking them but repeating it in increasingly incredulous tones, like 'nana' and even 'nani'. The fact that Steve had stumbled into a BigWhat in Japanese was not lost on more culturally-savvy viewers.

** Most people think the Fast Money time limit extension from 15/20 seconds to 20/25 seconds started on the current version back in 1999, but it had in fact been in place for Richard Dawson's return season back in 1994. Said season also debuted the look of the main game board, including an eight-slot maximum, as seen on the current version (albeit modified) from 1999-2008.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHO84rOp8FQ Dic Logo - What Were You Really Thinking?]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One survey asked for a slang name for policeman, and a contestant answered "dick" (as in "private dick"). Except he delivered it in [[https://youtu.be/OOcJSIk01is?t=63 a growly, overenthusiastic voice]] that made the answer [[AccidentalInnuendo sound worse than it is]]. As a nod to the way Creator/DICEntertainment was commonly mispronounced, someone dubbed the audio over the studio's VanityPlate.[[/labelnote]]

** To a smaller extent, it can be easy to guess that the current version was when the main game changed from dollars to points for matching each person surveyed. The change actually happened in 1992, when Bullseye was added to the Combs runs.

*** If a contestant who rang in doesn't provide the number one answer, past hosts would always prompt the other contestant with something along the lines if "X answer(s) will beat that." Harvey sometimes doesn't do this, instead opting to simply point at the other contestant, so they can run out of time to answer without warning. Harvey also refuses to repeat the question to the opponent, something previous hosts were allowed to do[[note]]Although this rule was in place as early as the O'Hurley era[[/note]]. This has resulted in a higher rate of buzz outs on his run than on previous versions. It's most noticeable on ''Celebrity Family Feud'' since contestants on that version take more time to come up with answers.

* SoOkayItsAverage: What many people now think about John O'Hurley's version, considering [[ReplacementScrappy who he replaced]] and [[WinBackTheCrowd who replaced him]].
** This was even referenced in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad''- Steve and Hayley created a totem pole featuring the heads of all the hosts for a now-elderly Stan ([[ItMakesSenseInContext long story]]), and Stan points out they omitted O'Hurley (to which Steve goes "I told you!").

** A Dawson Era question asked what is prohibited on most beaches, prompting the answer "Sex" from a player. Later that decade, the drink "Sex on the Beach" would be invented.
