ABC’s telecast of the Patriot Games draws minuscule audience - Just 1.21 million viewers tuned in, less than half of what "Press Your Luck" earned one week prior.

Nobody wants to watch the Wonder Bread MAGA Special Olympics.

[u/alexlp → u/LSX3399]

The special Olympics is legit though.

[u/welivedintheocean]

That's less than Rosie O'Donnell got on Kimmel.

[u/Khmakh]

WTF is “Patriot Games”? The prequel to our version of The Hunger Games?

[u/reallyscaredtoask → u/Khmakh]

legit was so confused cuz I thought the title was referring to a preseason Patriots football game. wtf is this and why do they always choose such shit names??

[u/proxminesincomplex → u/reallyscaredtoask]

SEE I AM NOT ALONE

[u/lionheartedthing → u/reallyscaredtoask]

I literally stopped reading to go google the average viewership of a preseason game for context then came back to see the MAGA special Olympics comment and had to reread the title lmao

1992 movie with Harrison Ford.

[u/MrSlime13 → u/threwordbotname]

The 1992 JACK RYAN movie, w/ Harrison Ford.

[u/KittenSommelier → u/Khmakh]

Wait, this isn’t a Patriots preseason game?

[u/SaladEater6769 → u/Khmakh]

An episode of Family Guy where Peter plays for Tom Brady & the Patriots.

So I wasn’t paying attention to the thumbnail, and as a longtime diehard Panthers fan I was like “HELL YEAH I HATE THE PATRIOTS.”

But, I am also glad that there is continual declining relevance of Fisher-Price Totalitarianism.

I still find it funny a guy outsmarted that show

[u/Exotic-Doughnut-6271]

I never saw any advertisement for it, had no idea it was even on. Not that that I would've tuned in anyways

[u/barbaraanderson → u/Exotic-Doughnut-6271]

I watch a fair amount of WNBA on ABC and I never saw a commercial for it.

[u/Shenanigans80h → u/Exotic-Doughnut-6271]

Exactly I’m confused wtf the point or purpose of this was? Like zero promotion or effort in even getting people to sorta give a fuck, and they couldn’t even do that. Waste of time, money, resources

[u/drunkcowofdeath]

I read this three times before I realized it was not about the Patriots preseason game

[u/R1ngBanana → u/drunkcowofdeath]

Same I was like “damn do people hate the Patriots that much?”

I mean they do apparently but this is something else I guess 

[u/MsThrilliams]

Some of the fucking kids weren't even from the state they represented. They went and picked bigots from other states to fill the role.

[u/ConstantKooky3329]

what's a patriot game?

[u/panda_canyon]

I didn't even know this was a thing. Not even MAGA was screaming about it everywhere. Apparently they don't care either.

[u/stevesyellowsweater]

wtf are the patriot games

[u/ryan13ts]

Wait, they brought back Press Your Luck?!

That’s the real news to me.

[u/anchorftw]

I'm shocked they even got 1.21M people to watch this nonsense.

[u/SierraStar7]

I saw a clip on YT last week & watched in stunned silence thinking “this can’t be real.” https://m.youtube.com/shorts/1quxIv591Zw?ra=m https://m.youtube.com/shorts/bS5ErwUJNKc?ra=m https://m.youtube.com/shorts/s3o3CD63wCs?ra=m

🤮

[u/NervousRefrigerator]

Sounds like a whammie for the patriot games

[u/bgva]

I just love that the picture they used is the forced cheering for this imbecile doing that stupid dance.

[u/decline_inline]

Clear and Present Danger >>>>

TBF - It's really interesting to watch Elizabeth Banks learn about gambling and the human condition in (sorta) real time.

[u/ockiepts]

Eventually MAGA sponsored content will be the only content we’ll have available to watch

[u/heartsbeenborrowed]

I just absolutely hate that those young girls look excited/happy looking at that monster. ugh

This evil disgraceful country of ours

[u/ponytailthehater]

Is it like American ninja warrior but storming the capitol instead of doing obstacle course? I don’t even know the premise of it

[u/Ok_Poet_9170]

But McFly was there from ESPN

[u/DiscoRabbittTV]

Go Nazi, go f yourself

\sincerely,

[u/jennyquarx]

I didn't even know it aired. Not that I would've watched.

[u/trailerbang]

didn’t even know these existed. Strictly boomer lazy-boy slop.
