I saw a clip the other day of a bizarre Price is Right strategy. You know how the last contestant to bid will often go one dollar higher than another contestant, making it virtually impossible for that other contestant to win? Yeah, I hate that strategy but this one woman went a different track. She guessed one dollar lower than another contestant’s bid. The other contestant was right…and moron who guessed one dollar lower thought she’d won, and she started celebrating. It’s worth seeing. The best part is that later in the show, he told this woman she won and she started jumping around again, but he was wrong…someone else had won.
So, that got me to thinking about other Price is Right moments that I thought were funny. I decided to just do an entry dedicated to Price is Right clips. Is it lazy? Yes but the alternative is just telling the AT&T story, finding a nice place and calling it quits. Instead, you get clips. See how this works?
This is the famous clip of the guy who kept bidding 420 over and over again.
This is a funny girl that doesn’t know how to play the game and it’s a long clip but the last two minutes make it worth watching. Bob Barker is clearly getting frustrated and wants to strangle her and his reaction at the end is great.
This is a crazy woman who actually makes Bob Barker run and hide like he was Thumbkin.
This is the famous Tidy Cats blooper.
Emma goes nuts…or maybe she just came that way.
Bob Barker calls the wrong person up on stage.
This one isn’t funny, it just makes me mad. Contestant doesn’t know how to play the game, makes a mistake and gets the prize anyway. He may have won this time but he’s still a loser.
And for our last one, we’ll end with my favorite game. I love Plinko but not as much as this woman does. She also has to pee and that’s funny too. In the book I wrote (that I hope to one day read), Plinko is used to explain free will and coincidence or something like that. It mentioned Plinko and likened Bob Barker to God. Now that I think about it, my book sounds kinda stupid and I don’t think I want to read it anymore. But this clip’s still funny.
Up Next
In the last two posts before everything ends, we’ll cover me winning the lottery, gay marriage, cable companies and of course my AT&T story. I promise not to have a post of just a bunch of clips from daytime game shows again.
