You Don't Know Jack (US, 1995)

The irreverent trivia party game that launched a global phenomenon, rereleased ad nauseam in various multi packs.

Revised Audio#

In most YDKJ games, typing the response "Fuck You" to a Gibberish Question causes the host to react in a number of ways: insulting the player, removing money, changing the player's name, etc. The original, unexpanded release features host Nate Shapiro swearing back, but the 1996 Question Pack expansion (later sold all-in-one as You Don't Know Jack XL) has all of the offending audio rerecorded to remove this.

Description

The first time in a particular game session the Easter egg is triggered, these play in order (although the third one doesn't play in all cases, leaving the player's name unchanged).

The second time around, it's acknowledged, but ultimately nothing happens.

The third instance kills the game off to a black screen. Keep trying to hit the keys, and the last clip will play.

The original vulgarities can be restored by replacing GIBBER.SRF with the original version of the file here.
