OK, HUGGY, WE KNOW THIS GAME USES SIMILES, BUT IT'S ALSO BEING HOSTED BY SEYMOUR SMOOTH, WHO'S AS CROOKED AS A BENDY STRAW.

WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S FUNNY ABOUT ALL THIS.

WELCOME BACK TO "AS SOMETHING AS SOMETHING."

DID YOU ALL BRING YOUR SOMETHING?

YEAH!

WOO-HOO!

OK, BUT FIRST, LET'S SHOW EVERYONE AT HOME TONIGHT'S GRAND PRIZE.

IT'S AN ALL-EXPENSES PAID LUXURY OCEAN CRUISE TO BEAUTIFUL NEBRASKA!

[CHEERING] LET'S GET STARTED.

CONTESTANT NUMBER ONE, TELL US YOUR NAME.

I'M-- OUTSTANDING!

LET'S START THE GAME.

PLEASE COMPLETE THIS FAMOUS PHRASE.

AS SOMETHING AS SOMETHING.

UH...AS LIGHT AS A FEATHER?

[BUZZER, AUDIENCE GROANS] OH, I'M SORRY!

THAT'S WRONG!

THE CORRECT ANSWER WAS AS SLIPPERY AS AN EEL.

BUT THANKS FOR PLAYING.

HOW WAS HE SUPPOSED TO GUESS THAT?

AND SINCE YOU DIDN'T GUESS OUR SOMETHING, NOW WE GET TO TAKE YOUR SOMETHING.

AW, SHUCKS.

THOSE-- THAT'S FASCINATING!

NOW LET'S WELCOME OUR NEXT CONTESTANT, MRS. SALLY BOTSFORD!

[CHEERING] [GASPS] THANKS, SEYMOUR.

I'M SALLY.

YOU KNOW IT!

THAT NEBRASKA CRUISE IS PRACTICALLY YOURS.

JUST COMPLETE THIS FAMOUS SAYING.

AS SOMETHING AS SOMETHING.

AS SOMETHING AS SOMETHING.

OK, AS BUSY AS A BEE!

[BUZZER] OH, NOT EVEN CLOSE!

THE CORRECT ANSWER WAS AS PLAIN AS DAY!

[AUDIENCE GROANS] NO!

OH, NO!

MOM!

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, SEYMOUR!

WHAT'S THIS?

LADIES AND GENTS, WE HAVE A VERY SPECIAL GUEST.

PLEASE GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO WORDGIRL!

[CHEERING] CARE TO PLAY AS SOMETHING AS SOMETHING?

NO, I WOULD NOT.

IF YOU ASK ME, YOUR LITTLE GAME ISN'T FAIR.

I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT EVEN USING REAL SIMILES.

AH!

I'M NOT?

NOT BY A LONG SHOT.

A SIMILE IS A SAYING THAT COMPARES ONE THING TO ANOTHER BY USING THE WORDS "LIKE" OR "AS."

FOR EXAMPLE, YOU COULD SAY MY SIDEKICK, CAPTAIN HUGGY FACE HERE, IS AS STRONG AS AN OX WITH MUSCLES LIKE SOLID STEEL.

AND WHEN I SAY THAT, YOU CAN GET A PICTURE IN YOUR MIND OF AN OX OR A STEEL BAR SO YOU KNOW HUGGY MUST BE REALLY STRONG.

BOTH OF THOSE COMPARE TWO SPECIFIC THINGS, SO THEY'RE SIMILES.

BUT WHAT YOU ASKED FOR AS SOMETHING AS SOMETHING, AND NO ONE COULD EVER GET WHAT YOU MEAN.

HEY, SHE'S RIGHT!

WELL, WORDGIRL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

I, SEYMOUR ORLANDO SMOOTH, AM GOING TO GIVE ALL OF TODAY'S CONTESTANTS ANOTHER CHANCE TO WIN THEIR SOMETHINGS BACK BY ANSWERING NEW AND IMPROVED QUESTIONS.

PLEASE COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING.

AS CLEAN AS A SOMETHING.

OH!

AS CLEAN AS A WALRUS.

THAT'S CORRECT!

HUH?

YOUR TURN!

LIZZIE AND KATIE WERE FIGHTING LIKE CATS AND...

HOT DOG!

THAT'S RIGHT!

WHAT?

YOU'RE BOTH BIG, BIG WINNERS, SO GO HOME AND PACK YOUR BAGS.

GOOD-BYE.

WOW.

MAYBE THIS ISN'T A TRICK.

MAYBE YOU'RE JUST REALLY BAD AT SIMILES.

YOU KNOW WHAT, WORDGIRL?

THAT MUST BE IT.

MAYBE WE JUST NEED HELP FROM AN EXPERT.

[CHEERING] AH, WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF I'D SAY EX-- YEAH.

WELL, HERE'S A LIST OF ALL THE SIMILES WE NEED FOR THE NEXT SHOW.

WON'T YOU HELP US OUT, PLEASE?

CHECK THEM ALL OVER.

THE GAME DEPENDS UPON IT.

WORDGIRL, YOUR PEOPLE NEED YOU!

UM...OK, WHY NOT?

I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT.

YAY!

GREAT!

GREAT!

Man: OH, HA!
