Line 8:
In the United Kingdom, ''Fun House'' became something of an institution to kids now aged between 20 and 30 as the zenith of gungey game shows. Airing on [[ITV]] during the 1990s, it involved much the same things as the U.S. version did, but with different twins, different hosts and a set which was more like a carnival funhouse than just a fun... house.

=== [[Game Show]] Tropes in use: ===
* [[Big Win Sirens]]: Heard if the team won the grand/Power Prize in the [[Bonus Round]].
* [[Bonus Round]]: The Fun House itself. Contestants took turns grabbing cash and prize tags three at a time for two minutes. One of the tags also contained the "Power Prize", which awarded the team the major bonus prize that day. Changed in ''College'' to each player getting 30 seconds in the house to grab as many tags as possible, with the grand prize being awarded for "Cleaning House" (finding all 13 tags).
Line 27:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Several.
** "We're ''going'' to the Fun House!"
** [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|Let's! Get!! MESSY!!!]]
** "High five", in particular, was [[Take That|lampooned]] by ''Double Dare''.
* [[Celebrity Edition]]: The show once had a "Teen Star Week", where young actors were teammates to ordinary schoolchildren. One episode pitted [[Small Wonder|Tiffany Brissette against Jerry Suprian]].
