Kirk's Fogg-Ups - What are your favorites?

[The Mandarin Hand]

The guy couldn't remember Temple Room names to save his life.

"The Jort Court Jester's Room" is a classic, as are "The Room of the Shrine of the Silver Monkey," "The Temples of the Tombs of the Ancient Kings," and "The Room of the Chamber of the Sacred Markers."

My favorite, though?  Calling the Troubled Bridge "The Stairs."

[dshban]

"The Center of the Room."

Classic.

[Mstrgmr]

I always found that funny

[nicklegends]

Also, "The Temple of the Ancient Kings" and "The Ledge of Size." He said both of those in the SAME temple run! (Map to the Lost Gold Mine)

He didn't only mess up on the room names, though--there were always gems sprinkled throughout the episode ("Dreaded Temple Games" comes to mind). Also, we can't forget the now-somewhat-famous quote, "The Key to this Game is... the Key."

I've always called them "Fogg Quotes," but I love your title, "Fogg-Ups." I'll have to start using that term more often now. :wink:

Meh, it's something I've been doing on my site for a while.  Looking back, one of the worst Fogg-Ups (well, set of) occurred during 'The Leopard-Skin Cloak of Annie Oakley', an episode that I feel was the first appearance of the Room of the Secret Password, for Kirk made three errors on the name of the room one right after the other:
- "The Secret Passage Cabinets"
- "Cabinets of the Secret Passage"
- "Secret Password"

However, out of all the runs I've seen, 'Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress' has the most incorrect Temple Room namings by far, with a whopping SIXTEEN.
- "Sir Lawrence Arabia's Headdress"
- "Treasure Island, I love it."   (The Grand Prize was a vacation to the Cayman Islands)
- "The Royal Gong Room"
- "The Troubled Bidge"
- "The Light Wheel" (the Celestial Lights)
- "The Room of the Columns"
- "The Fallen Columns"
- "The Columns"
- "The Room of the Fallen Columns"
- "The Throne"
- "The Golden Orbs"
- "The Room of the Golden Orbs"
- "The Well Room"
- "The Snake"
- "The Holes of the Python"
- "He's gotta climb that mountain."   (the Wall Climb portion of the Wheel Room)

The Broken "Ring" of Iccarus.

[Olmec]

All the times he misnames a team.

"Red Monkeys"
"Green Snakes"
"Red Iguanas"

How Kirk pronounces jaguar "jag-wire" & how Olmec pronounces pharoh "phay-roh". Those 2 have my whole family going nuts.

In "The Ruby Earring of Benzibab", when Kevin is running across the Pit of the Pendulum, Kirk says "he has the watch!" Does this mean that this episode was filmed the same day as "The Good-Luck Watch of Empress Eugenie"? I've wanted to e-mail nicklegends about this, so he could put it in his website (The King's Storeroom), but I didn't want to give away personal information, like my name & stuff, but now that nicklegends is able to see this, it's all settled.

I know this isn't a quote, but in "The Jewel Encrusted Egg of Catherine the Great" Kirk was being chased by the camera man and he jumped into the Pit! I loved that

[Mstrgmr]

That should be in the season three golden moments

[Olmec]

This is even an Olmec-Up. Out of all the times trying to name the Bamboo Forest in "The Stolen Arm of Shiva", it was only right once, by Olmec. In the Steps of Knowledge, after the legend, Olmec called it the Bamboo Swamp. Kirk kept calling it the Swamp. Olmec got it right during the Temmple explanation.

Just for reference, you don't need to share a word of personal information with me if you want to submit something to the site. The single thing you DO need is an alias of sorts to go by. Some people choose to give their names, others (like "El Short Guy") simply choose a different name so they can be identified. E-mail me if you'd like to "officially" submit that to the site. :wink:

[Olmec]

Yeah, I might do that eventually.

This isn't a Fogg-Up, but it was funny.

*second temple game (Tina [Silver Snakes] vs. Maria [Red Jaguars] in the pushing the boulder up the wet ramp to block the volcano with their backs game) in The Pendant of Kamehameha. Here's the scene*

*both are almost at the top*

*Maria slips to the bottom*

Kirk: OHHHHHHH What a gnarely fall!

*Tina gets her boulder to block the volcano*

Kirk: *after the game to Maria* Wow, awesome splash there.

[nicklegends]

Kirk also had a tendency to make the contestents feel absolutely terrible at the end of a game that was already embarrassing for them. If a contestant slipped down the ramp, he'd always go on and on about "Oh, you were SO close, but you just had to slip down... You almost got to the top, but you lost your footing. That's TOO BAD..."

I don't know if Kirk was trying to make them feel bad, but what he said made me feel sorry for the kids!

[Olmec]

"The Observation Tower"

"The Shrine of the Three Silver Monkeys"

"The Temple of the-"

Those were all in the Pendant of Kamehameha. He didn't finish the last one, because the Temple guard came in as he was speaking, about to call it The Temple of the Ancient Kings.
