When Pokémon was used as a style for the scene, Karen says in a purposefully bad Asian-style accent, "Harro, [''sic''] I am Ichi!" She stiffly walks up to Ryan and says to him, "Please don't go!" to which he responds, "Oh, you're making my tail catch on fire!" and pretends to spew a flame from a tail, most likely referring to {{p|Charmander}}. As Karen turns to Colin and walks up to him, Colin spreads his arms apart and shouts, "{{p|Jigglypuff}}!" Karen pretends to shoot beams from her eyes, and she and Colin both jump and walk around on stage. Ryan then walks up to them and yells in a high-pitched, drawn-out voice, "Pikachu!" After Karen bobs over in front of Ryan like a {{wp|drinking bird}} for a moment, host {{wp|Drew Carey}} sounds the buzzer to freeze the players and change the style. Pokémon was also suggested by another audience member in a later episode's playing of the same game, but it was not used. | ||
