@@martyklestadt6766 how do you think the point values are created. Out of 100 people if one person says one thing that’s what they use. You see one pointers all the time but usually not on questions with such a small pool of answers

To be fair, that was an absolutely legendary episode of TNG. Probably one of the best IMO. For those who haven't seen it, Picard is knocked into a coma by an alien probe they find floating in space. Whilst in the coma, he experiences the entire adult lifetime of another man, living on a remote planet. At first he is confused and doesn't accept what is happening, but over time he comes to terms with it, forgets his life as a starship captain and accepts his new life. He lives a long and fulfilling life as a scientist, raises a family and becomes very skilled at playing a type of flute that is common on the planet where he lives. He eventually dies as an old man, surrounded by his family. He then wakes up back on the enterprise, and only seconds have passed since he was knocked into the coma. But for Picard, he has literally just experienced an entire lifetime. They inspect the probe and find the flute inside it, which he keeps as a memento of the experience. He can play it very skillfully due to his experience whilst in the coma. The probe was designed to be a record of a species and society that was wiped out by a supernova hundreds of years ago. The flute continues to feature in the series from this point onwards, and later helps him strike up a romantic relationship with a female officer who is a skilled pianist. So yeah... It's definitely a pretty awesome flute, and I'd much rather have that than a dead squirrel!
Easily a top 5 episode of one of the greatest sci-fi TV shows of all time. The climax of the episode where "Kamin's" dead family and friends return to him to say goodbye before Picard wakes up has been known to reduce hardened men to tears.
Unfortunately, that Flute couldn't actually be played, so it wasn't a real Flute. I hope one day that Flute and Sisko's Signed Baseball end up in a Museum
@@CheapandCertifiedMemes_YT Oh man, have you seen how much stress the fans of both constantly deal with lmao, imaging having to constantly butt heads with one fandom, now double it lmao. I don't wish this on anyone 🤣
Indeed it was, the race who sent the probe were a good people, it's too bad that their planet's home star pooped out and went nova which killed them all.
@@LetsAllLoveLain_ he was in the survey and he is the only who gave Picard's flute as the answer to that question, that's why he could give a correct answer
I actually doesn’t make sense. The survey would probably not be multiple choice and if it was there’d be more options than the 4 they’d show. Only the top 4 would make it on the board so anything with a 1 would likely not make the list.
Man, it's depressing how much JJ Abrams destroyed Star Trek and then Star Wars. At least Stars Wars is kind of recovering with the Mandalorian. But Star Trek? Eh, feels like a generic space action series still.
The flute that Captain Jean-Luc Picard played first in his imagination then in real life in the episode "The Inner Light" from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
My favorite thing about this clip is that it is the 1970's Family Feud set and Richard Dawson is wearing what is quite clearly a 1970's suit, but it's the modern Griffins referencing an episode of Star Trek from the 1990's. 😂
@@marccolten9801 yup, I still cant help but enjoy star trek and I didnt think the orville was half bad. I'm in my twenties and currently discovering all the star trek shows I missed growing up.
I came to this video, because for the 200th time, I'm at this episode in TNG and every time I see it now all I can think about is this ridiculous Family Guy clip.
Watched this and got a good laugh. Went out to the family room and the Star Trek Next Gen episode mentioned is on BBC America. Cue Twilight Zone music. LOL.
"Money" might have still been the blowout answer, but Peter played it safe because he knew it would pay off. For those who might not get the whole thing, look at 0:27. They survey 100 people and sort the answers by the number of responses. There's a space marked "1". The space below it is 27. That means 27 people out of the 100 person survey chose "jewelry". The space marked "1" is another answer which had more than (or at least equal to, not entirely sure) 27 responses. And the points you get are equal to the responses. So there's a mysterious "1" on the table that would win everything. The checkerboard pattern on the other slots implies there's nothing there. Adding up the remaining numbers, there's clearly more than 50 points just on that #1 answer. I only point this out because usually Peter is remarkably stupid, but he's crafty when it counts (or when it's funny). Needing just one point to win, it's obviously better to go with the sure thing, even though it's only one point. But it's still a slight departure from the usual doofus.
Does the number of points affect how much money you get in this game or is it all or nothing? (In theory, if Peter had guessed the number one answer correctly, would it have gotten his family more money than the Picard flute answer did or did it not make any difference?)
@@abduljah9355 That is a really good question. I think it has varied over time. If I were to try and answer that myself, I'd be relying on wikis and such.
if i recall the rules to family feud correctly, when a family gives an answer to steal the round, the points for their answer aren't added in-they only receive whatever was in the pot when the opposing family earned their third strike
@@rocknrollcannibals this Family Guy Episode appears to be "Big Man on Hippocampus (3 Jan. 2010)", the IASIP episode seems to be "The Gang Goes on Family Fight (4 Mar. 2015)". So Family Guy did it roughly 5 years before IASIP. But it is a super basic idea it's easy for either of them to come up with it.
Did this episode come out before or after the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode where they're on Family Fued, because it had basically the same joke.
Not to be that guy, but according to the rules of Family Feud, an answer needs to be given by a minimum of 2 of the 100 people surveyed in order for it to appear on the board. Therefore the minimum number of points for a correct answer is 2 and the number of points available on the board often add up to less than 100. This rule is in place to prevent this very thing from happening.
The only bad thing about the episode is (spoiler alert) when they don't win all Richard Dawson says is thanks for playing. They real way is you get $5 a point so they still get $995 dollars. I guess that wouldn't have made the plot of Peter losing his memory happen the right way but at least address it at the end. Maybe the postman delivers it after the episode or something.
"I was in the survey!" LOL

Not to be that guy, but according to the rules of Family Feud, an answer needs to be given by a minimum of 2 of the 100 people surveyed in order for it to appear on the board. Therefore the minimum number of points for a correct answer is 2 and the number of points available on the board often add up to less than 100.
