Is the $1 bid the biggest dick move in game shows? I understand the strategy but still.. frick them
If I was yellow, I'd bid $2,002.
The person who's the newest on the stand has to bid first. It was probably the yellow guy
This show lost literally every piece of soul it ever had. I fell into a temporary TPIR obsession in late 2021 when I watched the old episodes from the 70s and 80s
Yeah it's sad what it became but there's 1000s of hours of Bob Barker era so I'm not too upset..I could go my entire life and not watch a moment of anything post Bob
>This show lost literally every piece of soul it ever had
I stopped watching when they went to almost no audience during covid. Not having the studio packed with a crowd drags the energy level down. Have they brought them back yet?
The show was getting worse and worse before then, losing the studio audience was the final nail. They will play a lot of the same lame pricing games over and over because they're quick plays - that way they can fill more time with commercials. It was also evident that producers had Carey stop bantering with the audience and contestants to squeeze every second of air time out of the show in order to run more ads.
it's a limited crowd now, only like 30 people
The reboot of Legends of the Hidden Temple was an hour long, as opposed to the half hour original, and it had less Temple Games played than the half hour version per episode. The state of modern TV is ridiculous.
I blame them stuffing the time with interviews with each of the players.
>Event gets underway
>Cut to one or more of the players being interviewed for reactions.
>Spend more time on the players reacting than on the actual game.
I've been watching the Roku channel that shows old PIR episodes and it's absolutely kino. Bob Barker takes no shit and constantly flirts with the Barker Babes.
It’s like a dick kick in a fight. It’s a perfectly viable strategy, and honestly probably the most effective, but you’d have to abandon all self respect in order to do it.
Exactly
>abandon all self respect
He says as he lies crying on the ground, hands cradling his nuts
>abandon all self respect in order to do it
why's that? I didn't start the fight and I'm only defending myself, why am I suddenly the one in the wrong for defending myself in the most efficient way?
It's always been an unwritten rule that you don't hit another man in the dick
yea, keep following your unwritten rules after the other guy smashes your head on the pavement and you become paralyzed from a night brawl, at least you were the man and didn't target his balls amirite
Anon of course if he's going to seriously hurt you or even kill you you can do whatever to defend yourself
I can't believe I have to explain this
Because kicking a guy in the balls isn't the most efficient way to defend yourself. And you don't tag a guy in the balls anon.
Dick kicks aren't that effective in street fights, same with eye gouges.
its a kick in the balls not the dick. kicking your dick is far less hurting. i'd argue its just like a kick anywhere if not even less effectice because its spongelike
Not everyone has a micropenis like you.
THAT'S MY PURSE!
>Shit prize Bob. Don't want it. I'll bid 1$.
Im not 75 years old so I don’t watch “game shows” so can I get a QRD on the $1 thing?
Your guessing on the price of something. The winner is the closest without going over. So if you bid $2,000 and I bid $2,001 I ruin your bid.
How? What if the price was $1,999?
Well sure. But I have a better chance since I get every number over $2,000. Doesn't always pan out though.
Without going over, numbnuts. So both 2000 and 2001 don't get it, it'd got to the 1700 guy. Once someone does your bid plus a dollar, you literally cannot win unless you guessed it exactly, which never happens.
>Once someone does your bid plus a dollar, you literally cannot win unless you guessed it exactly
Alright….. so if some shithead guessed 20 bucks, and the item cost 1999 the shitbird would win? So wouldn’t the 2000 guy still win if the price was $2,000.00-$2,000.99?
Yes. That's why if you're the last person to bid its a common tactic to bid $1 if you believe that everyone else has over-bid
Why not $69? Hehehe
Because you'll look like a complete jackass if it's $68.
But is 69, dude
They only do dollar increments, so your stupid a-ha doesn't even work.
I play Yugioh so I know small technicalities like that matter, so I had to ask so I wouldn’t misplay.
>you literally cannot win unless you guessed it exactly, which never happens
some autist did, and then repeated it with the showcase, but they thought he was cheating and wouldn't show the episode
He guessed the correct number and they thought he was cheating? Was this a post Bob era episode? People have guessed the exact number numerous times
was more to do with guessing it twice
or vpn poorgay
Ah makes sense.. wonder how he'd be able to cheat unless someone feed him the answer?
Vibrating anal beads
show had a limited number of prizes so it was possible to remember all of them
Reminds me of the press your luck guy that memorized the board and dominated
They refused to let him back if I remember correctly
There's a halfway decent documentary on the whole thing called The Perfect Bid.
Can’t you just study up on going rates of products if you’re going to be on the show?
I watched a recent episode. Inflation has made it harder to do this. Pack of ramen going for $8, bout diarrheaed my dungarees
Why did Trump destroy our economy like that?
idk but Biden just gave ukraine a few more billion
As a business he's not afraid of debt. Trump dropped the match on inflation, Biden keeps pouring gasoline on the fire
>Can’t you just study up on going rates of products if you’re going to be on the show?
If you watch the show enough you can get fairly accurate at guessing prices, especially car prices
>Pack of ramen going for $8, bout diarrheaed my dungarees
The producers or their assistants go out and buy the groceries, likely from some store nearby that's insanely overpriced
But it's not over, 1999 is under 2000
have a nice day
You both lose cause you went over I thought. I wonder why they don't have em write a bet and then reveal.
That would be ideal to be h0nest
>What if the price was $1,999
Then they lose
Go watch the price is right or leave the thread
>I’m too cool to care about game shows, so one of you gays explain this game show I don’t care about to me
No, homosexual.
the price is right was very popular with college aged kids for a number of years
I’m 25 and I fricking love TPIR. I also enjoy Family Feud, Cash Cab, America Says, and the greatest..Wheel of motherfricking FORTUNE
>Cash Cab
I frick with some Cash Cab boyyeeeee
>cash cab
is that in any way similar to fake taxi?
Yes you get inside a well-lit cab filled with cameras, and pretend to be a real person shocked to find out the true nature of the cab you're in while you perform for money.
>he never spent time at his grandparents house
Although maybe i'm the weird one because my grandparents raised me until I was like 12
If you want to watch kino Bob era PIR there's a channel on Amazon Live that's free that shows 24 hours of it. Has stupid commercials but it's worth it. I watch it every morning when I wake up to relax and just have some background noise on. Reminds me of a better time.
Shit like this reminds me of Will Smith watching old news reels in I Am Legend…
>old people still unironically watch shit day time tv every single day
What's your point
They are siphoning off resources. They should be put in labor camps
I don't think that was your point
I'm a different anon. I don't like old people. The boomers are selfish and deserve to suffer
Oh
GIGAbased. My parents just got a reverse mortgage so when it’s time I’m gonna find the nastiest, filthiest, most abusive and diverse inner-city nursing home and leave them there to rot.
No you won't
>me locking the culturally enriched nursing home bedroom on them never to return
>Catharsis
Going to feel good
>My parents just got a reverse mortgage
Based.
May your plans come to fruition. My dad has early symptoms of dementia, so he will forget what a POS he is, and is becoming a more belligerent pos.
Why do boomer parents want to harm their children? In ever movie I’ve ever seen parents will do anything for their offspring no matter what (Land Before Time) but my parents actively sought to frick me over and abused me my whole life til I left. Did television and film lie to me?
>my parents actively sought to frick me over and abused me my whole life til I left.
See: made me get a job and stop being a homosexual
It's probably your fault
You're welcome son
My parents are the same. Life isn't like the movies.
A lot of parents regret having children.
The women blame their children for their body never being the same post-child rearing. They blame the child for interfering with their career and romantic prospects.
The men blame the child for having to pay child support or being a drag on their life.
The child is a convenient target to vent their frustrations on their dreams never coming true.
It’s easy to say, “Man, if I never had kids I could have…”
Demented generation.
Can't imagine what it would be like to be such a loser your own mom and dad wouldn't love/care about you haha
My grandparents were moronic and abusive, so that's what they learned. I was more intelligent than my parents by junior high. They didn't take it well.
Literally me except my grandparents were good people. My parents were just sick fricks and I have no clue why. They always hated me. They like my siblings though.
Anon if they like the other kids but not you that means it was your fault
You seem like a pompous ass I would have hated you too
The irony is I'm not. I've been too humble and contentious. I would've done better to be more selfish.
>Dumb people are scared of intelligence. Intelligence does not always equal succuss either.
*conscientious not contentious
>Reverse Mortgage
Got ‘em again boys.
Kek, boomers scamming boomers. Everyone but the corporate boomers and government get ripped off
Why would they not?
Pluto has a channel too that's what I'm currently watching
Classic game shows are unappreciated entertainment
>haha hey guys you can watch [old meme show] on this streaming service you don't use! I mean it has ads, but I'd sign up! It's so great and easy to use. Just reminds me of a better time guys.
Why is the price is right making you seeth this hard?
You got it anon. Thanks to your post the entire Amazon stealth marketing apparatus has been disbanded.
You're a hero anon
This. Insanely comfy and I’m constantly laughing at how shitty most of the prizes are.
>fish tank coffe table
>baking rack
>everything made out of ‘ponderosa pine’
Sounds like heaven
what’s it called?
Happy Gilmore
I remember back in High School, 2003-2004, I would sometimes bring this portable black and white TV with me to school to watch inbetween classes and at lunch. I would always watch some of the Price is Right on this shitty-ass B&W TV that would always have a shit signal because of the antennae... man those were the days.
How do people not know how TPIR works
People are dumb
Never heard of the show
It's a cable phenomenon for those who love it. Streaming/internet watching is almost-exclusively people who watched it on TV tv. Zoomies increasingly don't have cable tv, and don't use it to watch game shows if they do. Home sick they do phone/laptop, not tv.
We didnt have cable growing up because my dad was based but we did have scooby doo reruns on sick days on our shitty rabbit ears
>Yep. Its kino time.
>you will NEVER get to do that thing they did at the end of Figure It Out or whatever when you had 30 seconds to run through Toys R Us and grab whatever you could
I would have gone right for the Yugioh cards…
>a full shopping cart of yugioh/pokemon cards from back then would literally be worth millions today
jokes on them id $2001 to start with
>checkmate
Does anyone have the episode of TPIR with Cinemaphile legend Paul Latza in it? There used to be a ton of webms that were posted regularly.
It applies to more arenas than games.
>oh you broke all records by a huge margin to pull 500kg?
>well I did 501 how bout them apples
>Nicole?
>Nicole?

NO
YES

Jfc that studio audience is so soulless
I like how it’s segregated lmao. Then all the ads in between will show a Christmas dinner inexplicably with one member of every branch of the tree of primates on there (besides White).
My wife asked me if drew Carey had AIDS after watching a recent episode
I saw him on a price is right commercial and had no clue who he was for a hot minute
He looks like he's been possessed by Rod Roddy
Haha classic
What's the joke?
Ok boomergays, what's the most kino moment in TPIR?
bitch
>Not available in my country
when the Hispanic bid in pesos
The $1 bid or the $1 over the last guy bid?
Bidding $1 when you think everyone else is over is legit. You can't help it if everyone else is moronic.
But Bidding $1 more than the last contestant is bullshit and shameless.
Latter
Why aren't they all inserting their guess simultaneously? Problem solved.
Anytime I watch this with my parents and a white person does this they stay quiet most of the time but if it’s a black person they say “WOOW OF COURSE THAT Black person IS GONNA DOLLAR THEM GOD I HOPE THEY DONT WIN IT”
You have good parents anon, treasure them (and be racist).
>Make them bid at the same time then reveal at once or in a particular order (preferred option)
Or
>remove the without going over rule
Fixed
this. why didn't they just put in bids all at once?
>oh umm what did the other guy say?
>1 dollar over that, bob
What happens if 2 people both picked $2000? Do they have a cage match?
It’s meant to give people who have been up there longer an advantage.
If you like documentaries there's a good one for TPIR. Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much. It's pretty good if you like TPIR. Gives you some insight on the behind the scenes too.
Drew really comes off as an butthole in that.
>Just got the biggest job of your career
>Some dude just bullseyed the showcase after being perfect all day, so he's clearly gaming the system
Drew thought it was over before it began. Of course he'd be a bit dickish.
Well he did murder his gf so yeah he’s kinda a dick
he seems like someone who plays a nice guy on tv, but isn't very nice in general
Who is paying them to say “get your pets spayed or neutered” at the end of every episode or is it supposed to just be “le random” humor?
It’s just something Bob started doing in the 80s
Why would you think that's "random humor"?
Millennials and zoomers are so mindbroken they cannot fathom sincerity
Strange
>It's an "Anon castrates dogs for fun" episode
>bids $1 as first bidder
i am jocker
>1st bidder says $1
Cute
>2nd bidder says $2
Absolute madman
Do they still have the audience on those covid containment cubes?
As of the most recent episode, yeah. Time will tell if it stays that way with the move to the new studio.
No, it's fair Game. People came to win. WIN. Not like anyone that come on the stage is gonna share the prize with anyone else in that place. So who cares?
t. this guy:
Everyone knows you give the kids and new people whatever they want during yankee swap. Bastard deserved to get thrown through that door.
He just gets worse and worse. Okay you're a moron and didn't realize you were being autistic about the rules and hurt a little girl. Now give it back.
>No it's mine.
Okay here's a couple hundred bucks.
>You think I need money?! I make more than you!? My penis is small!
Boom through the door. I would've tried to do it without property damage but yeah.
I've seen a few clips of this show now, is it literally just this guy fricking up people who very much deserve it and then getting in trouble for it?
Largely. Trouble to varying degrees, often gets away with it. He writes/directs/stars. Made an indie movie of the same general principle, the character much less fleshed out, but it's a piece of shit today, really not worth watching.
American "culture" is nothing but a greed fest
Not all American culture. America is a big place. I live in the south and country culture is usually poor white people getting drunk and doing stupid shit and eating fatty food. It's pretty fun. They don't show that shit on tv tho.
>American "culture" is nothing but a greed fest
Honestly the business practices of the Chinese would make a israelite blush. Honestly probably why they're so israelite-free. Their businesses don't have the adherence to law to be israeliteed, and they out-israelite the israelite at israeliteing.
Is that why moronic 3rd worlders and europoors love it so much?
>oh anon your sick, stay at home
>no cartoons, you gotta watch this shit instead
When you actually were sick it sucked because you'd always get the worst episodes or contestants.
Sucks to be a poorgay with no vidya or VHS.
No it was worse because my parents thought that if you were sick, you can't play games or watch stuff. So basically you got stuck with Price is right or who wants to be a millionaire.
You're apology is accepted. And you'd be surprised at how skinny a lot of us are. We can't afford to eat to we just drink all day. I'm 6'1 175lbs. Not fat at all. Racing the scooters is fun tho.
In the UK there was a variety program called Noel's House Party and one of the gameshow segments they had was them putting a random phone booth at a random location and the first person to find it got to play. They were given a 4 digit number, that was then scrambled and they had to guess what the new number was in under a minute. The price money was every number they'd entered added up.
After a month or two of doing this, someone did it and then just hammered the 9 for about 20 seconds and ramped up the price money, before playing for real. The game didn't last long after that.
CHAOS EMERALD
One thing I notice no one has mentioned yet is that TPIR makes it up to the person who gets outbid by a dollar by letting them go last in the next round and having the new contestant go first.
The 1 dollar bid isn't the dick bid. The dick bid is bidding 1 dollar above another bid, especially when it isn't the highest bid.
