You're On! - Rules

Rules

Two kid contestants on a remote location work together to complete three tasks, each with a common theme. The tasks involved convincing a passerby to do silly things, like kissing a fish or playing hopscotch with one kid riding piggyback on them. The kids had 10 minutes to do this. Performing all three tasks won a prize (such as a Nintendo 64, snowboards, or camping equipment), failing wins a smaller prize (usually a gift certificate).

Three games like this are played. The later two games had a feature called the "Runaround", played in the studio. Six people, two from each section of the audience, would be called down. After they saw the three tasks the kids had to perform, they had to guess how many tasks they thought the kids would complete. Getting it right won a prize.

In the first runaround, all six players were kids. In the second, it was three kids and three adults who were somehow related to the kids.

At the end of each show, one of the adult Runaround losers and their kid would be called to the center of the stage. There, Phil and the kid would do gross things to them, such as pouring slime on them or getting them to stomp on large purple balloons to make "grape juice". On one episode, the tables were turned on Phil. Before Phil could call anyone to the center of the stage, Vivianne & Travis suddenly walked in from backstage. They, along with Phil's own son David, proceeded to slime him with a variety of substances.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:

    Under the rules of a society that cannot distinguish between profit and profiteering, between money defined as necessity and money defined as luxury, murder is occasionally obligatory and always permissible.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

    ... cooking is just like religion. Rules don’t no more make a cook than sermons make a saint.
    Anonymous, U.S. cook. As quoted in I Dream a World, by Leah Chase, who was quoted in turn by Brian Lanker (1989)

    Different rules apply when it gets this late. You know what I mean? It’s, like, after hours.
