Holy cow it's actually you!! I have so much respect for you, I'm such a chatterbox and a people pleaser, Meredith would have stretched our time out for ages of I'd been in your shoes. You rock and I hope you get everything you want in life 🥰
If you think this guy was a pro, you should see the first guy to win a million on the show. The guy only used one lifeline on the final question, and it was only to brag to his friend that he won.
Or that one guy on price is right that knew the prices to the cent and would call out the correct answers while he was in the audience till he was eventually put on. The dudes a madman
I thought he only used his phone-a-friend to call his dad and tell him he knew the answer and was going to win? It was a legit emotional moment. Perhaps it was a different winner.
I genuinely once saw some lady on who wants to be a millionaire stretch out a stupid question about what was being eaten in the sopranos finale for over 15 minutes
That's what would make Jeopardy good if the outcome weren't 99% determined by buzzer reaction speed and getting lucky on Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy.
He's got this "Robotnik" look to him with these sunglasses and I love it, this could be the start of a villain arc where Huggbees deconstructs gameshows.
He must've done some basic comedy training or is just a natural, he told that exactly how a comedian would and it worked He told the story first, then held the punchline until the end. Man's a legend
My dad's friend used to work on that show, we were watching that episode together as it was a re-run. My dad was like breaking down how the show worked and all that, want to hear a fun fact? The "experts" are told what to say by the show. When someone is showing a bit too much promise at winning they have the expert feed the contestant the wrong ideas to divert them. If you notice by her wide eyes and silence for a moment, she's waiting to receive a message, all the "uuuuuuuhs" and "ums" you hear is nothing more than stalling until the message reaches them. That game show was built with the exact purpose to bring people close to victory and then prevent it, gaining views from grannies with nothing better to do.
@TransCube So the random contestents are given personalities they need to act out and pretend that's who they are? I know reality TV is just a fully pre-written soap opera that's pretending it's real, are gameshows with random members of the public operating the exact same way? seems like a lot of effort plus they would all need to act the part but most of them seem natural.
He doesn't act. He simply IS. THE. ROLE. They would all be non fiction, not "based on a true story", but the actual events as they are unfolding in his presence. No stunt doubles. No retakes because if someone ELSE fucks up their lines, he destroys them, that's the final cut (pun intended), and they start shooting (heh) the sequel. No special effects, why would you need any with his power?
My theory is that the “who wants to be a millionaire” crew hired the so called “expert” to make Alan lose because they were scared of losing 1 million bucks to this absolute chad of a man.
I like how confident he is, I would never be able to talk about the things I like in public, and look at him, on TV in front of millions of people not giving a flying fuck what people think.
@@drasticgray Well, I think the point its that Alan would never run by any of his tastes with a crowd. Like gravity or entropy, Alan states his passions as absolute universal law with no room for contradiction. None have dared to oppose Alan after he fully deboned a star trek convention goer and reassembled their skeletal structure into a flawless biology classroom appropriate human skeleton model when they criticized his flawless John de Lancie impression.
The reason Allie looked so surprised is because she saw the amount of money they were paying her to purposely get the answer wrong Because let's be honest, Alan would've won if she didnt

I will say, if nothing else, Who Wants to be a Millionaire's musical score goes HARD. Not only is the main theme far more dramatic and driving than the show material demands, but there are multiple variations of the music created for every possible situation to best fir what is going on in the show. Sadly the composer, Matthew Strachan, passed away last year.

The expert thing was genuinely infuriating. The best lifeline they can give their contestants isn't even helpful with the hardest questions? This isn't shade to her, because one person can't possibly be expected to know all of these questions, but it's pretty annoying that the game acts like this is a huge gift to the contestant when it's functionally useless. A much better lifeline would be the ability to remove one of the wrong answers.
@@ShiaNeko I'm also pretty sure that's a lifeline, so I'm guessing it either a) wasn't available in 2009 or b) Alan assumed that if those words were so famous, the expert would know, and they wouldn't let him use two lifelines on one question (which they should have, if the expert didn't know).

I want to imagine that Alan and Lorry spent their whole lives searching for anyone who can even hope to match their energy and the moment they met it was like two gods clashing on Mount Olympus, and now they reign as the only two powerhouses deserving of each other. Edit: Alan's only failing was placing too much trust in humans. He placed complete faith in the expert's guess and he was stabbed in the back as a result. His one weakness, his literal Achilles' heel, was his love and faith in the well meaning but bumbling creatures we call humans.
The one moment when he uses the expert and she literally GUESSES. This isn’t even like comedic, that’s actually horrific when you’ve just made it so damn far only to lose because someone else didn’t know.
I have nothing but respect for Alan. It's not confidence, it's pure logical deduction. If he knows the answer he goes with his gut. If he doesn't, he uses a lifeline. He plays the game in the most efficient way possible. And takes full advantage of the rules of the game. Also ironically the most beautiful two words in the English language are universally agreed to be "Cellar Door" for some reason. So the question itself was flawed.
There's also a guy who went on Press Your Luck who broke the show by landing on a space where there never was any Whammies every time. No one fucking noticed until they caught him for 'cheating' and they realized maybe having a safe spot that also gives you money and turns isn't the best idea.
as I understand it, the tricky part was more that he learned the precise point you had to stop the thing every time.. it was the equivalent of getting a frame-perfect glitch input in a game. So they randomized it and sped it up more.
I remember watching a documentary about this a long time ago. His name was Michael Larson. The real issue was that the board only had a few preset patterns, which he memorized after extensively studying the game on TV over and over again. The fact that there was a safe spot wasn't the sole problem. It was the fact that he knew exactly when to press the button to land on that spot. If it was truly random (like on the 2002 reboot) he wouldn't have been able to get away with it.
And even though they suspected foul play, eventually they had to conclude that he won it fair and square, so they paid him the 100k+ that he won. Sadly he would eventually lose his money through poor decision-making, get-rich-quick schemes, and even a robbery.
And yet, it was a declaration. Though he lost by cheats and foul play, he won the hearts of all men and women, that he shall be crowned the God Emperor
Australia has a variation of the show called "Millionaire Hot Seat" with timed answers and a handful of contestants that cycle through when one gets an answer wrong. The 1 million prize pool reduces with each wrong answer given, and there's a few other variations to the game I can't really remember, but I do remember that it kept the pace up and made the format more exciting. I remember the host was pretty funny too. Idk why that spinoff never spread beyond syndication in Aus and NZ.
Oh there was also one in India where a dude won and they couldn’t pay him so they hired someone to kidnap him and torture him until he confessed he cheated (which he didn’t) but luckily he escaped, I forgot the rest.
At first I thought this was going to be about the guy who beat jeopardy, then about the contestant who used his life line to call his dad and let him know he just won a million dollars, but this man is so much more powerful than the other who wants to be a millionaire contestant. I couldn't tell you who had more between this guy and the one who busted jeopardy though.

I love when contestants break gameshows like this. You can feel the executives panicking, trying to figure out if the contestant is cheating and weasel out any way they can.
14:45 I wouldn't have been able to wait until she was reading the first line before blurting out the correct answer. That question was so fucking easy and it was worth $25,000. I love how Alan knocked her the fuck down each and every time before dominating 3/4 of the show.
Alan is a perfect example of how confidence is key. Dude could be a walking stereotype, but he knows exactly what he's doing and what he has to do. Match that with the deadpan humor and honestly the only downside is that he answers quick enough that it's interrupting
It's YOUR (i.e. the contestant's) lifeline, or it used to be. YOU choose someone you know in real life, and the producers make sure they're on-call during the taping of the episode, "Powered by Sprint!" Although I remember someone still not answering at least once, and the contestant was SOL; this was before webcams, and they'd call landlines with 60 seconds to be read the answer over the phone and give their answer. Maybe the rules have changed in regards to who you can call, but I somehow doubt it. I assumed he'd met this woman at a convention of some kind, given she worked in showbusiness -- that is, if he hadn't just happened to have known her from school or something (hence the "we should have dated" comment), and decided she was smart enough to be a good phone-a-friend. Some people chose someone with knowledge pools they specifically lack, like sports or pop culture. This guy still chose a final answer while having a 50/50 lifeline available. However, 50/50's pretty useless as a lifeline, especially late in the game, as they only take away the two most obviously wrong answers. Especially after the contestant is sure it's one of 2, like just this episode. I don't have proof, but I think they change which answers disappear live depending on the contestant's guess. "It has to be either A or C! I'd like to use my 50/50!" _B and D magically disappear_ I shouted out "cellar door" before realizing it wasn't even an option.
@@pickles3128 this particular one wasn't phone a friend, it was "call a celebrity expert", they probably ended up swapping the phone a friend out because of everyone having very quick google access
@@barrothontherocks3325 That's too bad; thanks for the info. I really only watched this show's original run when I was 9 to age 12; 1999 to 2002. They could at least have had the phone-a-friend in a hotel with no Internet access save the webcam, or something like that. Pretty hard to google something when you're being filmed on national T.V. If you watch the original run, the questions are incredibly easy; I think this is because it was prior to internet access, which I like to think has made us a bit more knowledgeable. One of the 1 million dollar questions was "what is the prefix for one billionth?" and I remember screaming "NANO!" at my screen -- any high school student who'd passed basic Chemistry 1 could've told you that. Pico means trillionth (they use picometers to measure the space between protons and electrons in individual atoms.)
My god, this video actually made me kinda nervous. His assertiveness is genuinelly intimidating. I look up to him now, i will be as brave and confident as him!
Honestly been having a ton of fun watching Bullshit on Netflix, Howie is a fantastic host, the concept is interesting and the players have a lot of fun with it.

Wait, Bullshit as a tv show has been stolen now? Am I really the only one who actually watched that Penn and Teller show? My pet peeve is things taking existing names of intellectual property and reusing it so it's bloody impossible to find the original. See Toy Box and The Last Minute.

Gotta love how Alan and his wife are on the same wave length. They are not here to have fun, they are not here to be team players, they are here to get paid
Honestly, the compilation of this man being an absolute pinnacle of confidence set to "Devil Trigger" is filling me with some new form of motivation I haven't felt before.
20:08 i appreciate that he put the extra effort in to used hand gestures that aren’t visible in the actual video but only the reflection of his glasses to truly annunciate his sentences
i love how well you can see the reflection in your glasses. It's kind of interesting to see how you record. It's also funny to think 50 years ago staring at the upper part of your computer talking to yourself, like you do, would be seen as insane or crazy.
His wife wasn’t made to be like him, Alan’s wife was already as powerful as him and that’s why he was attracted to her. They aren’t the most gorgeous people, but the truly greatest among us rarely are, and that doesn’t take away from the raw energy they both exude JoJo style when they’re auras are on full display during their cinematic walk cycle
He’s so smart, thinking about the patterns in the questions and deducing that the $25k question was harder than the last few questions is a big brain move
I love that you do this on a black background because I watch this in a dark room and it makes it look like you’re just standing in the corner telling me shit while I smoke weed
The way he acts he reminds me a lot of a long time gambler. Short, quick, and to the point. He even physically sits like he's keeping his cards close to his chest.

I remember the host was pretty funny too. Idk why that spinoff never spread beyond syndication in Aus and NZ.

This game show spinoff sounds better than the original
I always thought it was better as well
Oh there was also one in India where a dude won and they couldn’t pay him so they hired someone to kidnap him and torture him until he confessed he cheated (which he didn’t) but luckily he escaped, I forgot the rest.
@@therealalmightyloaf3285 Game shows are really getting more edgy...
At first I thought this was going to be about the guy who beat jeopardy, then about the contestant who used his life line to call his dad and let him know he just won a million dollars, but this man is so much more powerful than the other who wants to be a millionaire contestant.
I couldn't tell you who had more between this guy and the one who busted jeopardy though.
Jeopardy has no lifeline

"An Expert"
... In saving the company a million dollars.
I love when contestants break gameshows like this. You can feel the executives panicking, trying to figure out if the contestant is cheating and weasel out any way they can.
14:45 I wouldn't have been able to wait until she was reading the first line before blurting out the correct answer. That question was so fucking easy and it was worth $25,000. I love how Alan knocked her the fuck down each and every time before dominating 3/4 of the show.
Alan is a perfect example of how confidence is key. Dude could be a walking stereotype, but he knows exactly what he's doing and what he has to do. Match that with the deadpan humor and honestly the only downside is that he answers quick enough that it's interrupting
How do we know that this "expert" isn't just purposefully giving him wrong answers?
and what was she even an expert in? i bet they do things like phone in a top chef guy and make sure 0 of the questions are about food
It's YOUR (i.e. the contestant's) lifeline, or it used to be. YOU choose someone you know in real life, and the producers make sure they're on-call during the taping of the episode, "Powered by Sprint!" Although I remember someone still not answering at least once, and the contestant was SOL; this was before webcams, and they'd call landlines with 60 seconds to be read the answer over the phone and give their answer. Maybe the rules have changed in regards to who you can call, but I somehow doubt it. I assumed he'd met this woman at a convention of some kind, given she worked in showbusiness -- that is, if he hadn't just happened to have known her from school or something (hence the "we should have dated" comment), and decided she was smart enough to be a good phone-a-friend. Some people chose someone with knowledge pools they specifically lack, like sports or pop culture. This guy still chose a final answer while having a 50/50 lifeline available. However, 50/50's pretty useless as a lifeline, especially late in the game, as they only take away the two most obviously wrong answers. Especially after the contestant is sure it's one of 2, like just this episode. I don't have proof, but I think they change which answers disappear live depending on the contestant's guess. "It has to be either A or C! I'd like to use my 50/50!" _B and D magically disappear_
I shouted out "cellar door" before realizing it wasn't even an option.
@@pickles3128 this particular one wasn't phone a friend, it was "call a celebrity expert", they probably ended up swapping the phone a friend out because of everyone having very quick google access
@@barrothontherocks3325 That's too bad; thanks for the info. I really only watched this show's original run when I was 9 to age 12; 1999 to 2002. They could at least have had the phone-a-friend in a hotel with no Internet access save the webcam, or something like that. Pretty hard to google something when you're being filmed on national T.V.
If you watch the original run, the questions are incredibly easy; I think this is because it was prior to internet access, which I like to think has made us a bit more knowledgeable. One of the 1 million dollar questions was "what is the prefix for one billionth?" and I remember screaming "NANO!" at my screen -- any high school student who'd passed basic Chemistry 1 could've told you that. Pico means trillionth (they use picometers to measure the space between protons and electrons in individual atoms.)
@@pickles3128 or even worse, Double Dip, where you answer twice, but cannot walk away
My god, this video actually made me kinda nervous. His assertiveness is genuinelly intimidating. I look up to him now, i will be as brave and confident as him!
Honestly been having a ton of fun watching Bullshit on Netflix, Howie is a fantastic host, the concept is interesting and the players have a lot of fun with it. It was absolutely hilarious watching a dude completely bullshit his way to 250k without answering a single question right. Highly recommend it.
Wait, Bullshit as a tv show has been stolen now? Am I really the only one who actually watched that Penn and Teller show?
My pet peeve is things taking existing names of intellectual property and reusing it so it's bloody impossible to find the original. See Toy Box and The Last Minute.
@@JXero to be fair this is a show just called bullshit and the penn and teller show was called Penn and Teller: Bullshit! plus id imagine not many people know of that show it was great though also no one looking up bullshit would get it confused with a penn and teller show if you are looking for that show you know its penn and teller
edit: also neither show is just called bullshit the game show is literally called bullshit the game show you could not get these 2 mixed up lmao
@@abhrntcrtre fair point, apologies for the knee jerk reaction and rant.
@@JXero no worries it's a problem that needs to be addressed but it makes more sense in those instances you brought up cause they are more generic things

And then millionaired all over everybody

“I clapped when I saw a million dollars”
As a fellow Washingtonian I am glad to see he said he was from Federal Way, rather than Seattle like most people do. Yet Another dominant move from Alan
I love that there was even more chadness that Huggbees didn't highlight, amazing 😭
I thought you were going to talk about the absolute badass who calls his dad with his lifeline for the final million dollar question only to tell him that he doesn't need his help at all and that he knows the answer and that he's bringing home a million bucks. Total badass move

I was so invested in this that when he got the question wrong, I winced and sucked in through my teeth. I don't think I'll ever recover
If you looked up the definition of "Chad" in the dictionary.....you'd find that it's a country in Africa.
It also means a small lake
Shaded Figure looking over the game: "He is too powerful, we must stop him... Call in 'the Agent'"
Dude, this has been the best 180 of content creation ever and I freaking love it.
Alan just radiates the combined energy of the final boss and a seasoned player who 200%s every game within the speedrun record.
The way he also rejected the advances of the "expert" is pretty fucking alpha. I have a new personality to adopt.
144p 👍
the pure raw confidence this guy has is so fucking intimidating
I felt immense energy watching this
Man I got genuinely sad when he lost like this
Not many people would have the balls to wear those glasses in front of thousands of people.
Kudos.
I always get excited for a huggbees upload. Thank you as always for the laughs. Whether it's how it's made parodies or commentary I'm always here for it and always entertained beyond my expectations.
Alan is so powerful that he could answer a question incorrectly and the universe would change to fit his answer.
No, that’s not me, that’s Chuck Norris.
He’s slowly turning into the Riddler, it’s starting with the glasses and the snarky attitude.
Gotta love how Alan and his wife are on the same wave length. They are not here to have fun, they are not here to be team players, they are here to get paid
Holy fuck, Alan is now my inspiration in life.
"even a god can have his flaws, just look at Kanye West" has never aged soooooooo poorly lmao
That really is a way to dominate a game show
Honestly, the compilation of this man being an absolute pinnacle of confidence set to "Devil Trigger" is filling me with some new form of motivation I haven't felt before.
20:08 i appreciate that he put the extra effort in to used hand gestures that aren’t visible in the actual video but only the reflection of his glasses to truly annunciate his sentences
This was the most exciting episode of the audience and the host. For Alan, it was a Tuesday.
God my heart broke into a million pieces this is the worst day of my life alan didnt deserve this
I love how he waits for the full question and cuts off Meredith RIGHT when the answers are listed. That. Demands. Respect
I love the energy this guy exudes
The difference between Millionaire and Jeopardy is that Jeopardy’s contestants are actually smart and the trivia is actually challenging
we need to start some sort of gofundme or something to give this guy the money he deserves
not just that, Alan is also a showman making the audience interact w/ the help of lifelines
I love the use of the controversial MTG card "triumph of ferocity" artwork in the thumbnail

i love how well you can see the reflection in your glasses. It's kind of interesting to see how you record. It's also funny to think 50 years ago staring at the upper part of your computer talking to yourself, like you do, would be seen as insane or crazy.
mostly because 50 years ago cameras weren't attached to the upper part of computers
@@Pihsrosnec well 50 years ago most people didn't have computers, it's more like staring and talking to a wall but my point still stands
His wife wasn’t made to be like him, Alan’s wife was already as powerful as him and that’s why he was attracted to her. They aren’t the most gorgeous people, but the truly greatest among us rarely are, and that doesn’t take away from the raw energy they both exude JoJo style when they’re auras are on full display during their cinematic walk cycle
all of the game shows are rigged. It doesn’t matter if you are a massive cocked, hyper intelligent masculine god, the house will always win.
There are people who won millionaire, though.

"Trust the experts" they said. What harm could it do, they said.
Now he knows.
He’s so smart, thinking about the patterns in the questions and deducing that the $25k question was harder than the last few questions is a big brain move
Allan is the most wholesome person on this planet “NO CAP ON GOD”

Ali Wentworth does not deserve to share the same first initial as Alan the Elder God.
The way he acts he reminds me a lot of a long time gambler. Short, quick, and to the point. He even physically sits like he's keeping his cards close to his chest.

This man was living his own groundhogs day scenario where he just lived that day so many times he just knew the questions and the answers in advance.
