Vote on the Doughnut Game

Did you see the biggest disaster to hit daytime, called “Doughnuts for Dough”?

After it aired, we received dozens, possibly even thousands of emails, phone calls and faxes from people who loved it. Now it’s time for you to decide the fate of “Doughnuts for Dough.”

If funny receives more votes, we’ll play it again this week. If stupid wins, you’ll never have to see that stupid, dumb game again.

Ellen,

I Emailed my friend and ask him:

What's up?

He replied and said I'm poking.

I replied and said poking what?

He said I meant I'm smoking.

Doughnutspoll.. Not so bad :)

Doughnutspoll.. Neat :)

I have been finding many different opinions on this and find this post to be one of the more enlightening on the subject. Hope we can increase the quality of responses than what I have seen as many do not seem to be very relevant. http://www.torpedogratis.co

i loved it! but that might be cause im only 14 :P

i think the game is stupid. but i like whatever you do ellen, even if it's stupid:)

Hi Ellen
My name is Leanne Fletcher. I think Doughnuts for Dough is hilarious. I love to watch your show and I think you are fantastic. Thanks for all the great shows. Keep up the good work!!!!

Completely agree with you, Ellen.. It is a stupid game.. Boring and dumb..
Don't have it on your show..please.........

I love all the games. They are so much fun and funny. The games are so good they can really become morning game shows.

You just need a bigger doughnut!!!

I really don't like the doughnut game, kindof stupid. There has got to be better ways to get rid of money. I would love to see a version of 'Lets make a deal'!! I have heard you mention that game a few times, just do it!! Your audience seems like they would enjoy that and the trend in handbags is 'bigger the better'.

Congrats on your wedding!! I love your show!!

The donut game is the stupidest game I have seen and I think it should be put to rest forever. The ONLY funny part about it is the fact that Ellen hates it. So dunk it!!!

Please Ellen- have mercy on us. No more of the Donut Game! It's idiotic, and not in a fun way. In your heart you know this is true! The fact that so many people love it and voted for it is irrelevent. Proposition 8 passed despite it's lack of internal logic and I bet if you thought of the dumbest, most boring game you could think of (say, Guess the Pitch of My Belch) there would be people out there who think it's the greatest game in the world.

You should punnish the writer or whoever among your staff thought of putting that on the air by making them stand in a corner or something.

Hi Ellen,

This is the worst and most stupid game ever! Sorry to anyone who likes it! Aw Snap is way, way better.

Best to you and Portia, too, Ellen. Prop 8 s##ks!!!!!!



i think the funniest part of the game is how 'stupid' ellen thinks it is and how much everyone laughs at it anyway, because it is kind of rediculous. though who doesnt need a good laugh?

What i think is truly stupid is the post a few comments back where someone refers to the game as "boring and gay".
while you may not find it the most entertaining thing to watch, using "gay" as a term to describe your distaste for the game, i think, is a terrible choice of words. unless you were implying that it is both boring And merry/ carefree at the same time, then this
"perpendicular, solitary, child-bearer" (thesaurus talk for straight, single mother)
may agree.

I think the donut game is stupid, there is no way you can get to the donut with all those "donut tubes" around you and the little donut on the string swinging to and fro. Ellen makes all games funny and I love her show. I record the Ellen show every day since she is shown in Chattanooga at 10 am and I am a working woman. The first thing I do when I get off is go home, fix an adult beverage and watch Ellen and laugh!

Keep up the fun, games, laughter and dancing Ellen - we, your fans, love you!

Get rid of it or at least change it to where the doughnut is stationary so it's more fair and a bigger challenge. Junk the marshmellow game too. Your contraption doesn't seem to work like it does for the real version... the elastic is always flipping off. Love Aww Snap, judging by yesterday's show you should have them on a gymnastics mat so no one gets hurt.. and maybe wear helmets.

dunk it! Use the time for the horizontal bungie cord game!

Don't Dunk the Donuts!! I love watching people dressed up like a stack of donuts and bouncing across the stage and trying to get the first bite. In this economy people will do anything for "free" food!!

Hi, even I'm in jakarta, Indonesia, I watch the show everyday, but most importantly,...

...I really really like your doughnut game, just keep it will ya!!...
