Despite the random nature of The Wheel of the Worst and The Plinketto Board, the panelists are known to fudge the results of their random gimmicks to select films they’re actually interested in watching, even outright ignoring the gimmick entirely.
The crew is well aware that this is obvious and clearly do not care, shouting phrases like “We’re frauds!” and “Legit spin!” when creating these contrivances.
Examples
[edit | edit source]- Wheel of the Worst 10: For the third spin, all tapes were removed from the wheel while Exploding Varmints was placed in the center of the wheel. After the spin panelists universally claimed the wheel landed on Varmints.
- Plinketto #8: Rich Evans grabs the Plinketto ball mid-drop and places it on top of Game of Survival, which Patton Oswalt wanted to see.
- Wheel of the Worst #26: Come See What First Aid You Can Do was selected, but Mike Stoklasa enthusiastically celebrated for Surfing for Seniors. As a result, Jay Bauman and Colin Cunningham—who had spun the wheel—pretended Surfing was the selected tape.
