This was pretty much the final nail in the coffin for the Slang category--it offered one of the most difficult puzzles on the show, much like how Megaword had ones that had mostly uncommon letters and were very hard to pronounce.
Nancy Jones was dismissed from Wheel because of puzzles like this. I think she's the one who thought Megaword would be a great idea of a category to put into the show.
@wecantfightgravity I'd say that's a good thing. I get being strict, but this was going way too far. By the end, you could tell the players weren't enjoying it any more. It had gotten annoying - then you really know it's too much.
Yeah the writers/producers really drew the line on this one. The slang category probably was retired after viewers were complaining about what kind of message this gave off…
@@TenPoundHammerWith slang there’s no official pronunciation. Buttinsky could be said exactly as it’s spelled or you could round the TT off to more of a D sound.
Goodness...I remember that too! Those people were acting like idiots! And honestly....what got in to the writers' heads on this one? At least a better spelling would be with an *I* at the end so you know it's "skee" instead of "sky" 😄
about the *ONLY* way this could have gone any (WORSE* is if they'd solved it in normal play had time for a speed-up and that category ended up being Mwgaword (for those of you who have never heard of that category, once you solved the puzzle, you got an additional $500 if you could come up with a sentence with the word that you just solved in the sentence. it was that category that got the previous Producer Emeritus, Nancy Jones fired and her job was given to now Producer Emeritus, Harry Friedman.
I looked up how to pronounce it. He pronounced it wrong apparently is my guess. It is prounced like "bud-insky" but he wet hard on the T's. Sort of stupid I know especially with the way it is spelled. But at the same time I can understand not accepting it if pronunciation matters which it seems to or at least seemed too.
What is so hard to say butt en skee. Maybe it's the way it is spelled. Buttinsky. My aunt had a problem with the soda pop ski in 1960's. There was picture of a woman on the bottle on a pair skis, but my aunt still called a sky.

Yeah….it WAS ridiculous- the Slang category did itself in after this lol

Pat: "Yeah, what do we have there?"
Contestant: "Buttinsky, jackass"
I actually saw this when it aired. I've never forgotten it. I'd hate to have my butt in sky :P

The producers were needling WAY too much on the pronunciation here. Wow, that was excruciating to watch lol
Indeed, no wonder producer Nancy Jones was gone by 1995 and replaced by Harry Friedman, who is now executive producer.

It is in the rules: you have to pronounce the puzzle correctly or it won't be accepted.

She allowed (pronunciation) “dessey dem and dose guys” for “Dese Dem and Dose Guys” on an 1989-90 episode
It's like the Warsaw phone book we're doing! LMAO
Can you imagine how competitive this could’ve been if it landed on the $5000 space?
Producers to Nancy Jones after this- "We need to have a little chat, but first clean out your desk and your office!"
Producer was like, I don't even know how to pronounce that.
The guy seemed to get it at 2:05 but they buzzed him for some reason.
No. They all said it with the hard T sound like this at some point. They wanted the D sound, not T.
The judges were Buh Tin Skis.

Weirdest puzzle in WoF history
No wonder that category was retired.
Reminds me of the REGIS PHILBIN & KELLY RIPA incident XD
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Goodness...I remember that too!

Regis Phibrin and Kelly Ripe-ah 😂
After something like that, they should have invited all three of those guys back or did a do-over puzzle and thrown it out.
Nowadays, almost all of this would've been either 1) cut out or 2) left in at the expense of something else.
Butt in sky made me die.
And the category would have been Rhyme Time!😂
*THIS IS WHEEL OF FORTUNE, GREG, GORDON and LARRY!!*
This was aired on February 25, 1993 as I just found out.
February 25, 1993 - One day before the 1993 World Trade Center Bombings.
Buttonsky, Battensky, Buttansky, Bittensky, Bettinsky, Bottinsky, until we get to Buttinsky. Very funny.😆
Neither the "Boozing My Shore Excursion" episode nor the "Achilles" episode will ever amount to this.
Bottoms Up!

If I ever take over for Pat Sajak, this is going in the title sequence
Buttinsky? What the heck kinda slang is that? Had to Google it.
The first evidence of Russian bots affecting American culture right there....
It means someone who butts in where he’s not welcome, I believe
Nope...that is clearly "Butt in sky"
This is what happens when Americans try to Americanize our names😂😂😂
Zdzislaw Buttinsky
HE SAID IT AT 2:07!!!!!!

The producers were not being a bunch of buttinskies.

This is from either 1993 or 1994.
