313. “Let’s Take a Dump” with Monty Hall

August 3, 2011

Q: I recall seeing a TV Guide-type ad parody for a game show called (either) “Let’s Take a Dump” or “Let’s Take a Shit”—with an actual picture of “Let’s Make a Deal” host Monty Hall.

A: Dawn sez: The TV Guide parody was a 16-page insert in the April ’77 (Ripping The Lid Off TV) issue. Page 12 of the insert has an ad for three game shows; ‘Let’s Take a Shit’; ‘The Dong Show’; and ‘The Snatch Game’. Don’t go looking for it on the “complete” (ha ha) Poon DVD; they didn’t include that section. Thanks, Dawn!

Thanks for this. I could have sworn I saw this when looking through the DVD. Oh well... thanks, again.
