The Hottest New Game Show - “Win Temporary Car Insurance!” There have been a lot of crazy game shows over the years, many of which have gone on to become massive hits. Shows where contestants have to eat disgusting things for money, or shows which pit mentally-deficient contestants against each other in a battle to survive. Some say these shows appeal only to morons, and the fact that they are giant successes is a sign that humanity is doomed. The newest craze in game shows, aptly named “Win Temporary Car Insurance!” is no exception. The prize seems mundane, offering contestants free temporary car insurance. However this hasn’t stopped contestants from fighting desperately for the prize. You can get temporary car insurance here in the UK. You have to buy it though (you can check here for temporary car insurance prices. The basic premise of the show is
fairly standard. Contestants answer questions related to car
insurance, and the contestant with the most points wins. The alleged
excitement occurs, however, in the way the show has twisted this
format. “We decided that the best way to create a hit game show was
to take the most unique elements of other shows, and combine them
all together!” said the show’s creator. “I feel that original ideas
are overrated,” he continued, “and what people really want is to
watch the same thing over and over again, only packaged
differently.” Contestants have to earn the right to answer a
question by doing demeaning and often life-threatening stunts. One
such stunt is to drive a car through the city at high speeds for 3
minutes, and if they stop for a stop light or the police, they lose.
“We figured since the whole theme of the game is ‘temporary car
insurance’, we might as well make some of the stunts related to
driving dangerously,” the show’s creator said. “I’m really surprised
anyone is dumb enough to come on this show,” he laughed. Even if the
contestant manages to complete the stunt, they still have to answer
difficult questions related to insurance. “Hardly anyone answers the
questions correctly,” one contestant complained, “but that doesn’t
stop us from trying to win that cash! Wait…you mean this isn’t for
cash?”
