Downfall (TV series)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fridge Logic: Why go through all this trouble showing the prizes on the belt and building the premise of the game around preventing them from going overboard, when you're just gonna lose them all if you fail on a later round? This is especially annoying since there were safe levels for the cash and the more expensive prizes may be turned down anyway.
  • Funny Moments: Jericho's reaction to a female fan accidentally blurting out her Hooters Girl credentials.
  • Padding: Averted by the last two episodes. ABC ordered six episodes, but due to the faster pacing in the final two episodes, they were able to edit the final two episodes into one. You can easily tell it was edited, however, since Chris awkwardly says "Welcome back" at the beginning of the final episode.
  • What an Idiot!: You can safely blame Central Casting. One failed to connect the Hula Hoop with the dance it's named after, another said that Kentucky Fried Chicken serves "Italian B.M.T.", a third couldn't get the answer "Y2J" as Chris Jericho looked on in amusement, and everyone seemed to have difficulty when faced with anything involving pop music.
