Double Dare (2)/DD In Popular Culture


 * In the Summer 1988 issue of Muppet magazine, Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog visit Marc Summers on the set of Double Dare.
 * An October 1988 issue of MAD magazine contains a spoof of Double Dare as Double Damp along with Marc Summers and Harvey being lampooned as "Muck Slummers" and "Hardly". The piece mocked the show's use of food products, the dangerous nature of some of the stunts and the similarities of a Mark Goodson and Bill Todman created game show Beat the Clock. Both Summers and Harvey considered being parodied in Mad a high point of their careers.
 * A brief clip of "Super Sloppy Double Dare" made an appearance in the 1990 film failure "Ghost Dad" starring Bill Cosby. (NOTE #1: Omar Gooding of Wild &amp; Crazy Kids appeared in that film. NOTE #2: Cosby would go on to host the 90s revival of You Bet Your Life two years later.)
 * In the 1990 Tiny Toon Adventures episode called Europe in 30 Minutes, Super Sloppy Double Dare was parodied as Sloppy Dirty Dare with Blink Winkleman as the host. In this parody, Blink asks Plucky Duck to guess which country is shaped like a boot. Then Plucky guesses Italy, and is correct. The prizes he wins included a pocket protector, a pair of left-handed scissors and a trip to Europe with all of his friends on board the fabulous Concorde (who is later revealed to be Concord Condor).

Therefore, Helen took the "Physical Challenge" by jumping through three hoops on a trike. Eventually, she landed in a pit of slime making the Red team the champion.
