Talk:Laff-A-Lympics

Really Rottens
I vaguely remember one episode in which the Really Rotten team actually won first place. Am I misremembering this? --Modemac 16:03, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * I think they DID win once, because of some technicality where the other two team members lost all their points. --b. Touch 17:20, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * The Rottens won the Morroco/Washington DC episode

They won in two episodes - Morocco/Washington, DC and New York/Turkey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.30.199.133 (talk) 23:20, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Updated Laff-a-Lympics?
If Laff-a-Lympics was updated today, which Cartoon Network/Boomerang characters would be in the teams?

1985-86
Should it not be mentioned that reruns of the program were shown during the 1985-86 television season? That's how I got to watch it. -Amit

Oh, I see now. -Amit

Yes, Amit, Laff-A-Lympics was in fact re-ran on ABC from March 1 to September 6, 1986. WikiPro1981X (talk) 20:40, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

DVD Name Change
It should be noted WB as of late last year on their shop have renamed "Spooky Games" into "Laff-a-lympics: The Complete First Collection", which while not definitive is a good suggestion that this set served as their relaunch of the series to DVD with a second to probably follow. At the very least however this page should add the info on the name change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.176.33 (talk) 01:18, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Action replay
This article could say how there was a feature in the cartoon series of "Action Replays", showing in slow motion what team members had done, often exposing cheating (typically by the Really Rottens). It could also point out that this was almost certainly a copy of a feature in a similar series called "Bailey's Comets", about roller skating teams racing around the world.
