If you catch yourself watching Family Feud this week, you might be in for a surprise, depending on what part of the country you’re in. America’s favorite competitive family-based simulator got weird:
Survey says ... ‘Family Feud’ is oversharing about bodily fluids
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The question asked by Steve Harvey was “If you were squeezed really hard, name something that might come shooting out of you.” It’s proof that we, as a society, have run out of meaningful questions.
Family Feud has always walked this razor-thin line of schoolyard humor and TV acceptability. It wasn’t long ago that people tittered at the mere mention of “doo doo” during the Feud — now we have this:
BEHOLD THE EDIFICE OF OUR CULTURAL DEMISE.
Granted, it’s been a long time since I watched Family Feud, but has this thing of adding adjectives been going on very long? Furthermore, in what universe is “pee” the same thing as a “flying turd,” or “barf” and “food” compatriots?
It’s the Feud’s world. And it has one grim emperor.

The show became desperate to cram as many bodily fluids onto the board as possible, so it doubled up. Furthermore, the Davis family got totally screwed over. Maria, trying to be the only classy person in a den of mustache-glad debauchery said, “spit up,” while giving the universal “I’m puking” motion. This was accepted by the board as “spit,” a correct answer to be sure — but it gave the Davis family the idea that puke wasn’t on there.
This let the Blackshere family, whose members are clearly evil, to swoop in:
They said puke and won the round. Family Feud isn’t fair, the board is rigged, and America is going to the dogs.
