The Price is Right: The Best Pricing Game

The Price is Right is arguably the one of the most popular gameshows on American television. One of the most popular features of the show are the pricing games.

Which pricing game is your most favorite of all time? Need a refresher? List of The Price Is Right pricing games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My personal pick...



Jam it back in, in the dark.

Plinko is overrated because the pricing part is over-shadowed by the luck of a bouncing disc.



Cliff Hangers, however, is an awesome pricing game. Between the morons who haven't got a clue how much things cost to the ones who take it to the limit to the absolute freaks who hit it on the nose, it is always good for a laugh.

Race Game is a blast too if only because watching people run their asses off is a proven, effective method for giving out prizes.

Clock game is all about skill, and what makes it hilarious is that after 30-odd years, PEOPLE STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Plinko may be all luck, but it is still my favourite pricing game. I honestly love watching the disc bounce down to the bottom with those sounds and crap. That's two for Plinko!

Cliff Hangers would be runner-up though.

And also, I'm SO up for a Price is Right theme week on GFF. Complete with Golden Road's forum layout. :P

I was speaking idiomatically.

Always loved watching the price is right. I could only really watch it over the summer since I was always at school anytime it came on. As much as Plinko and Cliffhangers were awesome games because of their hilarity factor. I, on the other hand have a bit of a horrible taste when it comes to picking my favorite pricing games, but I've always been fond of these two. They were probably boring, but I liked watching them to see if they ever did get the top prize, those two games were

1.) Spelling Bee



2.) Punch a Bunch



Out of all the times I've ever watched the price is right, I've only ever seen two people win both showcases during the showcase showdown.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Being a long time Price is Right fan, when I was a kid I could only see it on days I was off from school (holiday or sick). The pricing games I've seen so far, I've really liked...but for the best pricing game, you have to look no further than the now-rarely played 3 Strikes!

It is luck based, but it's very fun and exciting...it's a shame they haven't played it since December, yet they play that goddamn That's Too Much game at least once a week while there are much better selections from the 70+ pricing games in the back.

Hey I'd be down for members having their avatars and signatures from games that are featured on the Price is Right.

FELIPE NO

Because it's probably the game that you can fail at the most out of any of them. It's always hilarious when a contestant is on the complete wrong track for most of the game while the audience is shouting him or her down. They may recognize it and change something up, but usually not the part of the price that is way off.

Well Dr. Uzuki if you love that game so much, you'll probably love this clip.

Yep, that's pretty much what I was going for. I couldn't quite tell if she kept tacking the 3 to the end because she kept forgetting it and was embarrassed over changing the whole price again and again, or if she actually thought the price was going to end in 3.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well to be fair, Bob was kinda being a bitch that round. Makes me wonder if he had to pee real bad, and wanted her to hurry up, and at the end she wins, and he just ends up peeing himself anyways so he sits down with a look of despair or something.

But no, really it can be quite nerve racking with your friends trying to give you signs and Bob yelling "WILL YOU HURRY UP?!". I probably woulda turned around at that point and yelling "I'M TRYING TO WIN A FUCKING CAR HERE! SHUT UP!"

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Like Dope, my favorite game is Cliff Hangers as well. The anticipation you get watching that game is just unrivaled by anything else, made even more awesome by the music and hilarious mountain climber guy.

My favorite game is "Master Key."



1: It's a great gimmick for a pricing game. Nice props, fair enough challenge without being unfairly difficult.

2: You can still do everything right and get fucking screwed. One key doesn't unlock jack shit and that is awesome. I think every pricing game needs a "complete innocent failure" clause. This is what makes Plinko and Secret X such potentially wondrous disasters to behold.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Along that line, Punch-a-Bunch can completely screw you over for no reason if you hit nothing but $50s. That's a FANTASTIC price to leave with. :|

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

But you still leave with $50, which is better than absolutely nothing. It's a modestly decent meal after the show, or taxi fare to the hotel, or something. And it's a small enough prize that there's no taxes levied upon it, unlike a car or $10,000. That's a clean fifty right in your pocket.

I mean, it's one thing to fuck up because you're a dumb contestant, but it's a work of sinister genius by the producers to force a contestant to leave with nothing even when they made as many correct moves as they could, short of sheer clairvoyance.

Two of my favorite TPIR moments:

That's DUMB.

Holy Bajeezus

Good lord, I remember both of those videos. The Shell Game one was hilarious while the Spelling Bee one was just unbelievable. It's hard enough to spell out the C, A, and R. It's almost like trying to win Lucky Seven without missing one number (I'm sure it's been done) or being able to play Superball perfectly...which someone did once.

This had to be another one of my favorite games, even though it was just Ski-Ball. I also liked Penny Ante because it had a cool sound effect when the light traveled up to the price. Sadly, both of those games were retired years ago.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That Ten Chances bitch has to be one of the dumbest individuals I've ever seen. 19,302? Really? And how many times did she use the 1 twice? She didn't deserve that car. I hope she crashed it into a moving semi leaving the show. Even Bob was like "WHAT THE FUCK."
