You Don't Know Jack (Dryicor)

You Don't Know Jack is a Dryicoran daytime game show broadcast on Channel 4 based on the successful since 2021.

Originally rejected by DTV in 2020, DTV chief executive Erno Torkelsen suggested he really liked the pilot but said it wasn't appropriate for DTV audiences, and personally recommended the programme go to Channel 4.

Format
The format consists of 6 players playing numerous minigames, all to try and give away money. In a Jeopardy!-style format, correct answers award points, and wrong answers take them away.
 * DisOrDat: Only played by one player. The player is given two categories and seven different subjects, and it is up to the player to determine which category the subject falls under (or, in some cases, whether the subject fits both of the two categories). For example, a player might have to determine if Jay Leno was a daytime or a nighttime talk show host, if orecchiette is a type of pasta or a parasite, or if "Urban" is the name of a Pope or a Britney Spears song. Money is added for every correct answer, and deducted for every wrong answer, as usual; any questions not answered before the 30 seconds expires are treated as wrong, and penalized accordingly.
 * Gibberish Questions: Players are given a mondegreen: a nonsensical phrase that rhymes with a more common phrase or title. For example, "Pre-empt Tires, Like Crack" could be the gibberish to The Empire Strikes Back. The question has a time limit of 30 seconds, and the first player to buzz in and type the correct answer wins the money. Clues are given as time passes, but the money decreases by 5% of the initial starting value with every 1.5 seconds that elapse.
 * Anagram Questions: This follows the same rules as Gibberish Questions; however, instead of trying to figure out a rhyme, players must rearrange the letters given into a saying, name, or other group (as in the famous example of "genuine class" being an anagram of "Alec Guinness"). Unlike in other question types requiring a typed-in answer, the answer to an Anagram Question must be spelled exactly right to win the money.
 * HeadButt: These also follow the rules of the Gibberish Questions. Players are given a word equation such as "color of pickles + opposite of night" and have to put it together to form a name or other group (in this case, the color of pickles is "Green", and the opposite of night is "Day", so the answer would be "Green Day").
 * Fiber Optic Field Trip: A random person is called from out of the phonebook and asked to come up with a trivia question. Fiber Optic Field Trips are initiated during the first half of the game, and the trivia question hosted by the special guest is the first question of the second half.
 * Trash Talkin' with Milan: "Milan the Janitor" hosts a standard multiple choice question about grammar.
 * Bug Out: Bugs will crawl and display a choice. When you see a choice that does not match the clue, buzz in. In a multiplayer match, if you are right, your opponents pay you money, but if you are wrong, you pay your opponents.
 * Fill in the Blank: A standard trivia question but instead of having four answers to choose from, you have to type the answer out.
 * Sequel Question: Some questions have questions that refer to them and are guaranteed to appear immediately after them. When this happens, all three selectable categories will refer to the sequel question. All questions are arranged into 'episodes' whose questions always appear in the same order. This allows for a question to refer to any previous question, and for running jokes to be made.
 * Pissed About A Question: A special kind of sequel question, based on letters from angry viewers. Each of these questions is based upon a letter from a viewer who complained about the previous question.
 * Road Kill/Coinkydink: In this fast-paced question type, players are given two clues (Such as "Sexy voice" and "Hefty kid"). Several words fly past in rapid succession, and the players must buzz in when the word on the screen connects the two clues in a pair (In this case, the answer is "husky"). At the end of the round, players can earn a bonus for choosing the category which all the correct answers have in common.
 * Jack BINGO: A five-letter word related to the episode's theme is first given (for example, W-I-M-P-S in an episode about gym class). A clue to an answer is provided, after which the letters in the given word are randomly lit. The contestants are to buzz in when the first letter to the clue's answer is lit. (In the example, the clue may be "SNL's Doug and Wendy _____"; the player rings in when the "W" is lit for the word "Whiner.") 250 Kr and that answer's letter is given to the first player who is correct, and the next clue is given; a 250 Kr penalty is received for wrongly timed responses. The first to collect enough answers to spell out the given word wins the prize declared before the start of this round; it can go unrewarded if nobody finishes the word after a set number of clues.
 * ThreeWay: Players are given three words that have something in common (for example: solid, liquid, and gas) and several clues that only relate to one of the words (for example, "______ Plumr"). Players must match the clues to the proper words. The possible answers flash up on the screen, and the player must buzz in when the correct answer appears (in this case, "liquid").
 * Wendithap'n: Follows the same rules as the ThreeWay. The player is given an event (either in pop culture history, or in sequence order) and must decide if several other events occurred before it, after it, or never occurred at all.
 * Impossible Questions: Impossible Questions are worth very large amounts of money, but as the name implies, they are almost always very, very difficult. An example of an Impossible Question is one which asks the players for the number of years between the invention of the can and that of the first practical can opener within a two-year range, what number between one and nine Jack is thinking of, or what the third word is in the third scene in the third act of Richard III. In a case of double-bluffing, one question, 'What has four legs, a tail, and barks?', has the category 'It's a Dog!' and the answer 'a dog'.
 * Super Audio Question: A sound will play, and the player is asked a question about it.
 * Whatshisname Question: In this question, the host is trying to remember a certain name. A clue is provided every few seconds, and the players must buzz in and type the name.
 * Picture Question: Similar to the Super Audio Question, but based on a picture rather than a sound.
 * Funky Trash: The host roots through the trash of a famous person, and the players must identify that person by his or her trash. For example, a World War I ambulance driver's license, cigar butts from Cuba, and a can of ointment for 6-toed cats would be clues to Ernest Hemingway.
 * Nocturnal Admissions: The host tells the player about a dream he had, which is based on a movie. The player then has to tell which movie that dream was about. The characters of the movie are replaced by the host's cats and his mother, which often makes it difficult to figure out the correct one. For example, the host tells of a dream in which he transferred his mind into a fake cat body so he could learn the culture of his two cats. He does this to help with his mother's research, but falls into love with the cat world and is therefore attacked by his mother's troops. The correct answer to this dream would be James Cameron's Avatar.
 * Wrong Answer of the Game: Not a question in and of itself. Before the beginning of the game, the host announces a satirical sponsor for the episode; If a player manages to buzz in with the wrong answer associated with the sponsor, they win 4 000 Kr (double in Round 2) and a 'prize' from the sponsor, instead of losing cash. Wrong Answer of the Game is not played in two-step rounds (see below).

Two-step rounds
When the programme went to 6pm and was extended to 60 minutes for the second series, some new features with multiple steps were introduced. At least one of these will always be played in the 6pm game. "Wrong Answer of the Game" is not active in these games.


 * Fibbage: Players are given a prompt and must answer the prompt with a response. Afterwards, all options are shown to the players. Players then choose which statement to choose.
 * Bidiots: Each round starts with each player individually given a playful phrase and a drawing canvas on their local device. They have a short amount of time to draw out that phrase. Following this, each picture is presented to all players. The players then bid on these images as if at an art auction, trying to be the highest bidder for the art that matches specific categories, earning bonus prizes for doing so. Players can force other players to bid ('screwing'), and if players run out of money, they can take out a predatory loan to try to compete through the rest of the game. The player with the most money at the end wins the game.
 * Quiplash: In the game's first two rounds, each player is given two prompts to provide an answer to; the prompts are given so that two players see each prompt. Players provide what they believe is a funny answer to each prompt. Then, all players are shown a prompt and the two answers provided. They vote for the answer they think is the best quip. Each vote gains points for the player that wrote the quip, with a possible "quiplash" and bonus points if they get all the votes. In the final round, "The Last Lash," all players respond to the same prompt, and vote three times for the best answers of those presented. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Reception
Reception to You Don't Know Jack was poor from the critics but the show was overwhelmingly popular with viewers, some calling it "Channel 4's best daytime show since Deal or No Deal. Many compared to the British hit Richard Osman's House of Games, and the show received a second series later in 2021 and a third in early 2022.
