Tag: Double Dare

Not strictly Nickelodeon, but isn’t it interesting that even before television people amused themselves with dares?

The example of this game in the feature image isn’t for sale. I found it at Waldo Flea Market a little over ten years ago without any of the holes punched and had fun opening them and reading all the “stunts.”

Some of them are hard to read in the image, but here are the stunts in the pictured game:

• Do a hog calling act.
• Give a chorus girl’s lunch when she pays; when her date pays.
• Select 3 others and give an exhibition of amateur night.
• Pick a victim and show how you would make your first proposal.
• Say “black bugs blood” fast five times.
• Imitate an announcer at a prize fight.
• Act as if it were 100 in the shade.
• Imitate a husband trying to explain a blonde hair on his coat.
• Put your head on floor or in corner and recite a nursery rhyme.
• Place 3 fingers between teeth & say “Where are my parents.”
• Tell what Washington might have said crossing the Delaware
• Pretend it’s the morning after the night before.
• With partner, show how you’d apply for a marriage license.
• Like a radio announcer, conduct an early morning gymn class.
• Stare at someone for a minute without blinking or laughing.
• Place 3 fingers between teeth & say “Where are my parents.” (repeat)
• Imitate a man with the hic-coughs trying to order a meal.
• Sketch someone present and let the others guess who it is.
• Imitate a woman buying a hat.
• Imitate a peanut and popcorn vendor at a circus.
• Tell about a night you spent in a tourist camp.
• Put a clothes pin on your nose and sing a popular song.
• Sing “Home Sweet Home” while holding your nose.
• Name and touch 6 bones in your body.
• Sit in center of room and let everyone make a sketch of you.
• Put your head through a newspaper and imitate opera singer.
• Make a plea for more seeds in seedless oranges.
• Pick partner, each eat cracker, see who can whistle first.
