[edit] Being forced to answer a question

I distinctly remember a humerous aspect of the game. In a multi-player game, if nobody buzzed in and one of them had a substantial amouont of money, the host would ask something like "What? Nobody wants to answer? Hey player (with substantial amount), you've got money to lose, you give it a try." The player would be buzzed in and forced to answer the question. Amount of money gained or lost from answering right or wrong stayed the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.18.60 (talk) 10:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What's with the sudden accolades for Buzz

I thought most players hated Buzz and that's why he gets his ass kicked in his cameo in The Ride. Why on earth do we suddenly have a huge outpouring of enthusiasm for him and a list of companies that have approached him? Shouldn't this information be in an article about him and not in the main description?

[edit] Agreed.

I was also convinced that nobody liked Buzz's 'nasal' speech, wikipedia is the first time I've read anything differently. I always heard that nobody liked the 'change of host' when Volume 2 came around, because they preferred the original host, and thought Buzz was irritating. --CherryMay 09:41, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fixed

I reverted it back to the original version, due to A: Overwhelming agreement of dislike and B. No evidence of the offers made by companys.

[edit] Screwed

For some reason I remeber that in one YDKJ game (possibly the first) that you could "screw" other players, and a screw would impale their number and they would have to answer the current question. 24.240.41.48 21:39, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Available in versions 1-4 (US), and 1-3 (foreign territories), and it's called Screw Your Neighbo(u)r Elcondor 11:10, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

In YDJK 4: The Ride, it was more than just making your opponent answer the question. The person administrating the Screw Your Neighbor would press the S key repeatedly, and the screen would fill with screws, making the question hard to read in addition to making the opponent answer the question. It should also be noted that if you tried to Screw Your Neighbor, but didn't pick another player, the screw would come back to you, thereby screwing yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.18.117 (talk) 12:10, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality dispute

Someone has tagged this article as needing a discussion regarding its neutrality. I cannot see what the problem is, and the individual in question has not given any reasons. However, rather than immediately remove the flag, I'm going to leave this discussion open for people to state their case. If no-one does after a reasonable period of time, the tag will be removed. Elcondor 13:46, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Here's a few examples:
  • Clever text art
  • ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous
  • an amusing but crushing punishment
  • still quite popular today
  • one of the most memorable features
Additionally, the article does not source any of it's other claims. --InShaneee 23:08, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
While it's difficult to discuss a game like this without such adjectives, and I can't see what particular claims can't be traced back to Jellyvision or any video game review site. I appreciate that this was written largely by fans, of which I am one.
I've rewritten your specific cases, but feel that I may not be able to provide an NPOV. Elcondor 10:59, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Tag removed - specific cases fixed, no need for continued mark Teque5

[edit] Todd Rundgren credit

Todd Rundgren is a guitarist with some measure of popularity. In You Don't Know Jack: The Ride, a credit for a 'Todd Rundgren' is listed as providing wickedly awesome guitar licks, or somesort. I can't imagine that this would be some OTHER Todd Rundgren, but I don't know for certain, and can't verify from any other source. Anyone know for certain? If it is the famous guy, I would think that the information would be notable enough to be included in the article. KensterFox 14:08, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I know someone who has contacts at Jellyvision. I'll see what they can find out. Coolgamer 20:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I work at Jellyvision, and I can confirm that the credit is for THE Todd Rundgren. Someone knew someone, etc. KnowsJackSomewhat 22:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proper Title

The proper capitalization of the title is: YOU DON'T KNOW JACK —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.185.194.215 (talk) 17:32, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
