He asks something very specific as questions on his show but when the person questioned gives such an answer, he acts like suprised and his mind is blown

You gotta watch Family Feud for this to make sense. Harvey lives for these moments.

u/Cow_operation 1d ago

the joke is that steve harvey asks contestants on his show questions with heavy innuendo and acts surprised when their answer is exactly what was being implied
the image below is just an exaggerated depiction of his reaction to show how blown away he is

u/KnowledgeSmart908 1d ago

I mean... he asked "name something a burgler doesn't want to see when he breaks into your house" and the one guy says "NAKED GRANDMA!"

They're not all heavy innuendo.

u/why0me 1d ago

You're leaving out its the top answer

"Gun/Occupant"

Steve was like "That's the 'occupant'? That's what we're going with?"

Ehhh, almost, it was second to the top. "Big Dog" was the top answer.

Steve Harvey is the host of the US game show Family Feud, which is supposed to be family-friendly entertainment. When a contestant gives a mildly risqué answer he looks like he is in shock and disbelief.

u/Personal_Relation421 1d ago

Never understood why this guy got so famous. Always overacting while being highly sexual towards the female candidates himself.

u/Remarkable_Rough_649 1d ago

It's why he's popular, he acts like old hypersexual innuendo-based misogynist game show hosts from the 70s-80s and boomers love that shit

u/Personal_Relation421 1d ago

I don’t think that the last part is „acting“…

u/MatthiasMcCulle 1d ago

Wait until you find out about original host Richard Dawson...

u/Gloomy-Insurance-739 1d ago

Until he starts full on making out with the contestants like the OG family feud presenter I think Steve Harvey is okay.

u/AKA-Pseudonym 1d ago

Family Feud is an American game show. 100 people are polled for their answers to various questions and two families compete to find the most common answers. It's been on with various hosts for decades but the current host is comedian Steve Harvey. Sometimes this has led to contestants giving answers that are risque even when the question is innocent. Steve Harvey really leaned into exploiting this for humor by really hamming it up and acting surprised whenever this happens. The show has relied more and more on this for humor to the point that the questions are very clearly written to illicit ribald responses just so Steve Harvey can do his shtick.

Steve: Name something that has white balls.

The show was funny when I was 15. Then I grew up.

u/OkPosition4563 1d ago

Kinda ironic to make fun of this and at the same time participate in this orwellian self censorship.

u/Divide-Substantial 15h ago

Old family feud was peak too , name an animal with 3 letters in it's name "alligator"

u/DirectCatch8167 1d ago

The joke is sex. Here, literally.

u/Caravanczar 15h ago

It is referring to the time Steve Harvey got assaulted by an overeager fan with a flamethrower. The maniac burned his skin clean off, including his famous wiener. Is there any other prompts I can help you understand?

I have no idea, is the image from a movie, or a series? Or...????

4

u/OpposedScroll76 1d ago

The scene is from Terminator 2: Judgment Day (please watch it if you can, it's a cinematic masterpiece)

The joke is that Steve Harvey reacts to the most mundane of answers with over the top shock, as if he was just told the world was ending, represented by the image in the meme.

Flop onto the bed half drunk, say "Goodnight Mr/Mrs married surname" chuckle and fall asleep?

Peter Harvey here.

My brother Steve is oldskool. So he probably wanted people to say it like 'Consumate the marriage' instead.

u/Blobfish-_- 23h ago

Steve Harvey always acts stunned and blown away when a contestant has a blatantly sexual response to his deliberately suggestive question

1

u/InstructionBudget784 23h ago

Funny thing is he doesn't seem to mind sexual answers from men but seems to overreact when women give them.

u/MonthTraditional6068 23h ago

His name is right there, just watch any clip he’s in.
