In Turkey we had a game show called "Hugo". I'm sure you're familiar with it. Anyway on this tv show, if you were lucky, you could play as Hugo using your phone or remote control and there were different games. So one day in 1993 (lately confirmed) one kid was trying to play the game with a fucking rotary phone (as people claim). So obviously he couldn't play and he lost the game. He couldn't even do something about it. The kid was upset, and he was about to cry. The guy on the left (he was called 'Tolga Abi' which means 'Tolga Bro') who presented the show tried to calm him down. He said "it's okay it happens" etc. But the kid said "Fuck Hugo". The guy was petrified. Then the kid said "fuck Tolga Abi too" and he hung up the phone.
This went viral. in 1993 everyone was talking about it. People swearing on TV wasn't really common. But there's no video evidence of it. The guy strongly denies what happened. Even in 2016, on an internet forum there was a huge thread about this Hugo incident being real or myth. For almost 1 month, people were trying to gather evidence to prove this happened. At last they found some columns talking about it. Columns were written in 1993. Literally thousands of witnesses say it happened and they witnessed that shit. Tolga guy denies everything but the producer also said it happened on twitter. Still we got no video evidence. Some people also claim it's mandela effect and false memory. OR even worse mass schizophrenia. A myth that managed to make people into thinking that they witnessed it but they didn't. Human brain is capable of producing false memories. Our brain might think we actually were there when that happened but we weren't.
USA Candle Cove just messing with you, we have a lot of lost episodes or movies but lately we’ve been finding some of them like the creepy Nickelodeon movies

Neat. For some reasons stories like these are kinda comfy.

Interesting thread

We also had it here. It was called Hugo Délire and everyone wanted to play the game. I also had a rotary phone at home at that time.
It was called Kuzya here, as in we have domovёvnok kuzya, soviet character, that's why i guess. Кyзя!!

Link to columns?

But i'm not sure if we had a show and a strange game like that, how the fuck does that work, what the fuck is a rotary phone??? I just remember playing it on pc and it was a platformer or something.
Aaron Scott
I had a button phone and tried calling a few times but never managed to get on the air
Sebastian Hernandez
It's not creepy but we have a whole mandala effect about sinbad playing a genie in a movie Shazam that no one can find and he denies it.
Ahh, this, we had that >zoomers How the fuck would i play hugo games on pc and ps1 then, motherfucker, i just can't imagine how could you play a game with that.

Each button on a phone sends a signal that corresponds with an in game control. But this connection was laggy as fuck, kids were kids and nobody fucking ever beat Hugo on tv
Blake Edwards
We have a similar case. We had a kids show back in 2000 where 2 clows presented the tv show LIVE. They invited kids to watch the show there. One clown would joke around by kicking the other clown's butt. One day, the clown didn't like it and started to say swears and they fought for real. They had to say "technical difficulties" and they stopped for 4 years, then they came back, but no one watched them. This is real, but there's no video online. It's a mystery talked about every young adult.

Btw, I have 3 hugo games for ps1. It was a pretty cool game and individual
Xavier Carter
I had a bunch of them for PC including the special Christmas one that was mostly point and click mini games.

This French cartoon about a polar bear travelling in a baloon. It used to air on public TV at 7pm, the timeslot for cartoons back then, but it's impossible to find episodes online, only few of them and nobody really remembers what it was about. People say that it was scary and creepy but I recall it as my favorite cartoon
He did in the movie Kazam but there is a massive online community who thinks Sinbad the comedian played a similar genie character called Shazam.
Austin Hill
Grandma and grandpa had it, disconnected of course. I'm boomer as fuck but I still had to think hard what the fuck a rotary phone was.
Kevin Barnes
This, i also had trouble working it out
Charles Ortiz
I remember I was in my grandma's house and I was drinking some juice. They had a number... I inserted the number and called them just to hear their voices hehe I was like 5yo I think
James Turner
Something called "prosperity". A lot of people swear we once had it and some even that they experienced it but nobody believes those things
Luke Rogers
Nothing spooky about this, but once one of our ex-presidents (Fernando Collor) went on the air while high on coke, and there's no records of this
Jaxon White
What's the name of the show? Interesting. Two clowns fightings sounds like krusty's show or something lmao.
We had this on the TV here too in the 90's. I think I played it once with a landline. Here's one of many clips from Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=_6P59sQcaWo
I remember many years later some kind of animation on the TV that got stuck in my mind. In this, a horse fell through the ice on a body of water it was crossing. The horse couldn't get up, no matter how hard it tried. Then a wolf showed up, and while the horse's head was exposed above water, the wolf sank its teeth into the neck of the horse and tore it off.
Hunter Perry
The show was Batatoon and the real video is on youtube.
Ayden Adams
I had a hugo game too I think it's the one on the bottom right.
I only have this ones that are good. I could've had Lara croft tomb raider but instead I chose a stupid motorbike where I can't even do campaigns. Also have tarzan. Finished it all. Also a game about delivering pizzas in a bike.

Was the Amiga big in Portugal? When I think of the 90's and nostalgia 2 things come to my mind: Amiga and eurodance.

Hugo was created by Danes. That little shit conquored the world.

I hadn't seen a Turk make a non-KARA BOGA thread in a while
