ProCo Episode 73: The Front Butt Dispute – Oh Sit!

Sometimes here at Professional Contestants we have to do things we don’t like in order to win a game show. This is NOT one of those times. If you don’t think that oiling up and listening to Lionel Richie music all night while running an obstacle course sounds like a great time then there’s really nothing else we can do for you. We’re forming bands, reading fan fics, and arguing over butt placement in our plan to take down Oh Sit!

Zach describes a rich 12 Angry Men backstory, Jared is overwhelmingly in favor of a juicy donk, and Adam gets excited about dancing to Lionel Richie covers

ProCo Episode 72: Big Bucks, Big Bucks, No Slytherin – Press Your Luck

When we first laid eyes on the Big Board, we knew that something about it was familiar. That’s because we are a cultured bunch and are familiar with the story of Harry Potter. We must respect the Sorting Hat, and likewise, the Big Board… but if it tries to sort us into the Whammy house ONE MORE TIME we’re gonna stab it with a sword! The Contestants are going magical and getting lost in their own metaphors as the face Press Your Luck.

Zach has it out for childrens’ science magazines, Jared knows too many Peacocks, and Adam is upset by the logistics of a stealthy Basilisk

What happens when you bring together a group of people who don’t know the difference between jello and jelly, dolphins and porpoises, or Bowser and Professor Utonium?

ProCo Episode 70: Trial By Trivia – Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

Some old bones just can’t keep up with new tech in the modern game show era, and that can lead to some of our classic favorites getting the boot. But there are some of those that are worth saving, and Millionaire is one of them. But if we’re bringing it back, a few changes need to be made. Specifically, a lot of people in the world already have one million dollars, so… we can just take it from them, right? The Contestants are taking down the fat cats and redistributing the wealth with their redesign of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

Wait… this is my new home? Time for a housewarming party! The Contestants are moving into their new studio homes and invoking tenants rights on Solitary.

The Contestants have found themselves in Game Show Detention, and this Teach is one real meanie-pants.
