12000, a time traveller from the future who forgot what year she's in. 😂😅
Not that far off, they're pushing $12k today.
😂
This is a rare behind the scenes look where you get to see the game lineup and the show production number...rare!!
Spoiler alert! Even that little TEST card above the game board.
Sometimes glimpses of the cameras and crew are visible when a contestant runs wild with excitement and runs in an unexpected direction as cameras follow him/her.
What's that guy doing on the phone? Calling the guy who was supposed to sound the overbid buzzer?
@@Tiqerboy he’s calling the producers upstairs because they don’t know how to handle thatbid. Bob knows that. He’s going over there to “harass” them to buy them some time so they have a moment to get the call from upstairs without stopping tape.

Producers momentarily screwed up again. The guy said 1750, and at first, it was 1700 on the screen, and if you watch closely, it flashed to 1750 right as the camera moved.
Contestant Scott said 1750 and Bob repeated back 1700. You could tell Scott noticed the mistake and likely just accepted it (sensing Bob's frustration with the previous bid). The producers caught Scott's original bid and corrected the display. He would have only lost by $2 on his original 1700 bid.
To be honest I didn't hear him say the 50 the first time around. Saw it change, has to go back and listen a second time. He said "50" significantly quieter than the "1700".
@@jasonkyleadams7577 Bob's foldback was obviously too low this time. He had trouble hearing all of them.
All kidding aside, when I bought my house in 2008 it had these exact 1985 model washer and dryer in it. I STILL use them BOTH to this day in 2024. And all I’ve had to do was replace the belt on the washer once. They both still run flawlessly to the day!
Are BOB STILL LIFE?
They forgot to triple the $50 for the Super Ball, so that is why there is a $200 total instead of a $300 total displayed. Bob cracks me up when he complains about all the mistakes at the end.
They were all well-groomed, well-dressed nice-looking people back then
Nowadays people show up in their pajamas.
Aah, the good ol’ days…when a motorcycle costs less than $2000.
And people dressed better and had more class than what you see on the show now.
My initial bid was 1,895. Not far off as it turned out.
1983 bought a brand new Yamaha 400 Maxim for 1800 Canadian dollars or around 1450 US dollars
@@KevinS-qj3enI’m gonna say it was in the days before DEI as that is a pretty vanilla starting contestant’s row. Never see that now.
$2000 in 1985 is $6000 in today's money
More recently a contestant bid $1,000,000 at first I was thinking this guy is out of his mind but then he explained he lost a bet to a friend of his that if he got up on contestants row he would bid a million dollars
great explanation at least
Yup, that's now considered the worst bid ever. He lost a bet and became a meme. I'd think that was his intent.
$12,000 bid: *Outrageous Bid Causes Chaos on The Price Is Right and producers to be chastised.*
$1,000,000 bid: *Satellite image shows massive mushroom cloud forming at Price is Right studio location.*
@@hlcepeda How about *$2,000,000* bid ?
And I thought $9,000 for a surfboard was outrageous
I was in the studio audience at this show twice during the Bob Barker era.
It was so incredibly loud in there that you literally could not hear yourself think.
If I was on the stage and trying to think, I'd would tell the audience to shut up.
Ur old than
@@shawn4585-- Write in a English sentence: You are old then.
I assume the music you hear on the show, all of it, is played during the taping, and not dubbed in afterwards.
@Tiqerboy No, it is all in the studio, and the audience is so loud you can't hear anything.
Not a single one of them bid $1 over anyone else's bid. Now that's rare.
took actual strategy back then instead of being an EEO contestant.
That's how the first 15 years of Price is Right was.
RARE! RARE! RARE! Never saw the Behind the Scenes People making the Show! Now I'm more Sad we don't have Bob Barker with us anymore! but I'm gonna say this He might be gone but his Legacy will still survive due to this Channel RIP Bob Barker!
Every so often you'll get a 1-2 second glimpse when Bob goes off-script you'll see them. Back in the 90s, you'd see Roger Dobkowitz and Kathy "Fingers" Greco quite a bit.
Never seen Bob actually look annoyed before and could hear it a little in his voice 😂 ☠️
I think he was having fun with them and the fact that Kathy Greco was smiling through it, I think, is Testament to that.
Agree there seems to be a little bite in his demeanor when he says “we only have 3 producers”
Happy Gilmore got him to punch him😂
No, Bob is just being funny. Every person, including the 3 producers is laughing hard. Sarcasm isnt for everyone.
Bob is definitely being sarcastic and isn’t really yelling at his producers but I’m shocked he didn’t let her re-bid
Producers: "Not enough room!"
Connie: "I meant $1,200!"
Bob: No.
With a bid of $12000 Bob could have bought himself a set of hearing aids.
"What?"
Not to mention a decade's supply worth of meds.
YEAH
@@silentbob3208 -- He kept asking what she was saying, but she was speaking loudly and c l early enough into the microphone.
With $12,000 you can buy a better comment than that
Holly in the black dress though.
Yes sir!
Read your comment and looked up and there she was. 😍😍😍😍
She was always my favorite
YES! (THEY!! 👀) ARE (PROTRUDING!) IN THAT DRESS 👗
I watched this show just so I could see Holy.
The reason the overbid buzzer did not ring was because $1,200, shown on the screen, was lower than the actual price.
They were so shocked by the bid they forgot to sound it but thankfully someone there got the word to Bob.
The better thing to do would have been to display the price as 9999, which would have avoided the lack of buzzer. But then again, that's something you only learn after a situation like this.
The buzzer isn’t automatic, they would hit it manually. It didn’t signal based on the bids typed, someone had to push the button
You make it sound like this was automated. It wasn’t. They manually press the buzzer.
There was one person who tried to bid a 5 figure price for an antique wood heater. Bob remarked that the contestant probably thought the house came with the heater.
This Episode also got an Outrageous Guess in 3 Strikes when $90,000 a Car in 1985...
$12,000 motorcycles and $90,000 Corvettes. Inflation hadn't hit that hard back then. lol
You don't make bids in 3 Strikes you silly goose!
@@JohnSmith-zw8vp But you do state whether a number is the first, second, third, or fourth (sometimes fifth or today even the sixth). If they played Three Strikes Plus, the contestant could have mistakenly said 9 was the first number, thinking it was four digit, when it was really five.
@@silentbob3208 That would be a $102,000 in totals.
Bob could handle anything, and he left the show in good hands with Drew. It's just a game show, and any issues that pop up during a taping can be tempered with a little humor. Dennis James, on the other hand, seemed genuinely annoyed when things didn't go as planned when hosting nighttime TPIR decades ago, and it showed on camera, as well as to those of us in the studio audience.
The 80s Price is Right just hit different!!
From the opening segment of the 11/8/85 episode of The Price is Right. I've been waiting for this moment to hit the channel here. Plus, SUPER BALL!
A $12,000 bid would work well in the Drew Carey era.
Especially in prime time
The theme to the Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour played during the prizes for the Super Ball. Still used today for the car cues. The theme song to this short-lived game show still lives on.
That show’s longest legacy was its theme song, followed by the large glow-cube display that Family Feud ended up with
I like this better on TPIR than MG-HSH since the show gave Gene Rayburn PTSD for life.
They played this same music when showing the car the contestants could win on Card Sharks.
ua-cam.com/video/KvgG6PkhCBU/v-deo.html
Family Feud also had music that was shared w/TPIR - on TPIR it was the hyper excited music that would play before games that offered a big prize like a car, and on FF the same music played between rounds
@@meyerj75 It's been said that Gene hated working with Jon Bauman on "Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour", but he was still interested in hosting the also short-lived 1990 Match Game revival. I read he felt he was passed over for that job due to his age.
I don't remember the last time I saw an item up for bids be this chaotic. The poor woman brought her bid down over $11,000 after the overbid.
The irony is, if she had read the room and just said that she meant 1200 she’d have won because everyone else was over.

Days were better with Bob barker
Did anyone notice the can of Pepsi Free on the table?
A can of it is seen in the Cars video for Hello Again, directed by Andy Warhol
You can't have a Pepsi Free, you gotta pay for it!
I noticed that! There is also a can of regular Pepsi right next to it. Even Price is Right producers were in the Pepsi generation in the 1980s. Pepsi Free (now Caffeine-Free Pepsi in gold cans) was introduced three years earlier.
And if you remember the commercial jingles back then, they sampled Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" for "We Are Pepsi Free". What killed Pepsi Free?
Pepsi isn't free in the 80s. Very inexpensive, but it's not free.
1:12 that guy in the audience is the guy that got the exact bid on contestants row!!
Yes, good eye
if you are talking about the guy in the bottom right of the screen that is not him
Classic comedy with TV's greatest MC ever, RIP forever Bob Barker.
Bob was an assjole!!!
Caleen (superball) was a gorgeous woman.
Nowadays you couldn't even buy a set of wheels for a Honda at that price
That bike might not be much to look at but I'll bet it still runs to this day!
Good grief. $12K would of been the cost of a Ducati back then.
Skeeball is a game of both skill and luck, but sometimes, the game itself is not built properly, thus it'll not be accurate.
would've been amazed if the 850 won.
12000 to 850, what a deal.
@3:40 you can see the list of game to be played during this episode. Bob’s reactions remind me when Gene Rayburn would call out the crew when something went wrong. It makes it real.
if the contestants could see the list of games and they should be able to determine when the car is going to be the prize - right?
Roger was working both shows. Can't remember his last name.
@@valleyguy633 Roger Dobkowitz. There's a fairly recent interview with him out there as well
The Superball game is probably one of the toughest games to win.
I’d still rather test my ski ball skills than play than “3 Strikes”.
Also known as Skee Ball. Agreed it is a difficult game.
The bid sequence was great. But after it, the audience really did a good job disrupting her during Super Ball. It was like they didn't want her to win.
Funny episode, but this must be one of Johnny's last. Air date for this is November 8th 1985 according to someone in the comments. Johnny passed away about 4 weeks earlier.
As you know, Johnny wasn't finished yet. He still had mileage left in the property.
Are you kidding $12,000!😅
She couldn't be more relieved that everyone had overbid. lol
It would work in the Drew Carey era since the bid panels are all computerized. In the Barker era, the 4 panels are 4 digit Sports-type display digits and for the first 3 years to say the least, they were eggcrate digits, both making any bids above $9,999 impossible to show.
The Barker Era was the only era, Drew Carey stinks.
Wrong. The Bill Cullen era was the best of all
This is about as bad as the contestant who thought that a pair of surfboards cost $9,000.
The world's most expensive surf boards. 😂
Not to mention there was a $12,000 bid on the 25th Anniversary Special.
I remember the 25th Anniversary Special (somewhat). Bob offers her a "deal" on a single surfboard for $3900 (UA-camrs of the future, for context, $3900 in 1996 dollars is as outrageous of a price for one surfboard as $9000 is for two). That old lady was not a fun contestant to watch for such a landmark special.
And as fate would have it, someone would bid $12,000 on the 25th Anniversary Special. Bob referenced a $9000 bid with, "Anyone got a surfboard?!"
With a bid of $12000 you would have thought a car was being bid on.
Ugh! Skeeball to win ANYTHING is a no-win situation! This game is worse than Three Strikes! SMH
It's really fun seeing the host go off on the technical staff. Gene Rayburn has done the same thing on "Match Game" but in a funnier, more flustered manner.
which episode?!
Bob is roasting everyone and everything 😂
Obvious blocking error during the _Superball_ game. A camera, Bob, (or both) were not in the right place during each roll attempt. Entire opening segment was one train wreck after another 🥺
Plus, a scoring error at the end.
the guy bid 1750, they put 1700 on board then quietly changed it... no effect on winner
Trainwreck? I love seeing "errors" like this - makes the show appear to actually be produced by humans instead of robots.
@@TPIR_Fan_1972 "Trainwreck?"
*_TrainwreckS_* ⬅plural
Calleen was a doll.
This is incredible! a 450 cc motorcycle ONLY cost $1,698, in 1982?
I grew up watching the show , and that is why I would never pay the type of money that people pay nowadays for cars .
I bought a brand new 82 Yamaha 400 Maxim in spring of 83 for 1450. Hondas were always a bit more expensive in those days.
The median salary was like $23k though. It all tends to move in tandem.
After the manufacturer heard that their motorcycle was wildly overbid by all four contestants, they jacked up the price.
At Calleen got up on stage after not bidding $1 in the first round of overbids. 😅
Bob was...kind of a jerk to that lady...
Nah, he was just settling into his cantankerous old person personality
Yep. She was visibly upset, too.
Barker was a real perv as well. I could not stand him
Everybody is thin and nicely groomed.
Bob Barker goes crazy when a TPIR contestant bids $12K on that motorcycle. Unreal RIP Bob Barker (1923-2023)
Seven years later, a contestant named Clint would bid $350 on a watch during Cliff Hangers even though it wasn't a Rolex of some sort.
@@meyerj75 There was actually another good one involving motorcycles. A contestant near the end of the Barker era had a showcase with two motorcycles. He bid $250,000! Changed to $60,000 and OVER he goes.
All of the chaos caused Bob to reveal the day's game list. Wait until you see what happened in 3 Strikes +. Until they went with digital screens, they never did add the fifth digit for those kind of bids.
3:00 that CBS stripe back there looks just like that long plastic adhesive strip Target offers you to help you carry out large sized items.
I will always Love Bob Barker no matter what happened on set he rolled with it in a comical fashion.
This is why Bob can't have good things.
Anyone got a surfboard for Connie?
😂😂😂😂
Let's call Lila and get a good deal on one. lol
@@silentbob3208Who's Lila?
@@KevinMiller-xn5vuThe lady that bid $9,000 on a pair of surfboards. There’s also Corey, who bid $7,000 on a hammock.
@@angrybirdsfan2003 She's probably passed on by now.
When you played sick in order to stay home from school. So you could watch The Price is Right and Bob Parker.
Shoulder pads a big hair put a time stamp on this.
If I ever get on the show and one of the contestants keeps out bidding me by $1, I’m going to bid 1,000,000 dollars and say to them-“You want to make it $1,000,001?😅
Ha ha - and that $1 bidding over someone else always annoyed me. I wish they made a rule that you had to be at least $10 more than a previous bid.
Special insight. One can tell Bob used hair coloring sometime along the way he just gave up. Almost 40 years ago. Scary how time flies.
Maybe three producers aren't enough.
should this rank up there with Jose who bid $250,000 on a showcase...🤣🤣🤣
$12k for a 1985 motorcycle...
The best part about Jose...the top prize in his showcase was TWO MOTORCYCLES!
How come they never the display The Price Is Right home game on the show which had recently been released at that time?
I forgot how nicely the audience used to dress back then
Same end result but Calleen should have bid 2701 and 851. They were strictly better than the numbers she actually said (covered the entire range of prices that win for her and then some.)
Janice Pennington changed me from a boy to a man.
Hard to believe he's been gone A YEAR now. I have sat and watched like 1000s of hours of game shows from 72+.
Wow, Barker has a real bug up his on this show. You tell he was pissed at everyone.
He did it to be funny/ intertaining! He could've given her the $1000 bid that she asked for, but he wanted to entertain the audience/ viewers. He even continued by saying, she had the highest overbid in the history of TPIR and ended by saying he had to have a talk with the staff.
almost as pissed as that time he beat up happy gilmore
The announcer sounds like he's drunk 🤣
Bob really knew how to handle hiccups in the show and kept his professionalism.
Johnny Olsons health was not
doing good
she was smoking hot
(question: "she")
We all now know that Scott’s bid for the bike was $1650 but babbling “can’t turn my hearing aids up” Barker heard $1600 ……
My favorite prize background music from TPIR begins at 5:08.
That’s the theme from “Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour”
@@JimRockford853 Really? Thanks. I gotta look that up.
I’ve never understood the rule of not going over on your bid. How about the closest bid whether it’s over or under. It shouldn’t matter.
It's always been that way. I think it's to prevent a tie with these bids (one person bids $590 and another bids $610 for a $600 item).
@@roachtoasties I think a simple tie breaking rule could easily solve that issue. Perhaps the first person to bid breaks the tie. It just doesn’t seem fair that if a product is priced at $499 and someone bids $500 and another bids $1 the $1 bid wins.
@@tomfuzesy4896 Well it's the rules. It's the same when bidding on the showcase, the grocery game, and some others. It might add a bit of skill needed by the contestants to make sure their bids aren't too high.
@@roachtoasties Yes its the rules but the rules aren’t fair and havent been fair from the start. It’s not a rule to pick the closest bid. It’s an arbitrary rule to disqualify a bid going over. They could have easily put in a rule disqualifying bids going under instead. To me it adds nothing to the game play other than shaking my head to the unfairness of it all. Closest bid no matter it it’s over or under with a tie breaking rule is what they should have done from the start.
@@tomfuzesy4896 The rules are not fair? Go cry some more Mr. Buzzkill.
Who is the producer guy on the phone with? at 3:43. Is he calling to order an extra large pizza for himself? What could be more important for this minute that he needs to be on the phone?
He's calling the show's electrician to wire the board for an extra numeral, pronto.
That’s the phone to the control room. He may have been talking to the Standards and Practices representative of the network to decide what to do about the fact that the contestant made an impossible bid and then tried to correct herself.
The judges of the show, are always right there, just off the stage. That’s the way it is with Jeopardy, Family Feud, Password, Match Game etc. etc:
The fact that the digital displays, did not go to 5 digits is not an “all of a sudden” emergency. (That’s the way that the displays have been since the 1970s) If it was a surprise emergency, then the heavy guy would’ve been on the phone in the first minute with the problem (which he wasn’t)
“Standards & practice” are usually when there’s something that is a “network”sensitive, that is a debate whether to get past the network sensors or not.
-
The shows are recording in advance. So something that is an error on the show, can be resolved later on, and they usually invite the contestant back on.
-
Often on the end of Password on the shows from the 1980s, I often hear “due to a programming error technicality, one of the questions was discarded and replayed.
-
I just found it humorous that he’s on the phone, while Bob Barker’s having a tantrum and trying to get the issue resolved.
The fact that someone guessed a price of 5 digits, for a price of a $1,600 motorcycle back then, technically, Bob should’ve said: “the highest bid, can only be $9,999”.
-
Something like this, probably happened more than once They just happened, to show this on the air, due to the humorous & absurdity with that lady’s ridiculous initial bid.
Scott actually said 1,750🙄
They had fixed it on his display by the time that round of bids were in.
Wow, this is the America I love! ❤
She clearly said she wanted to change it to 1,000 and he completely ignored her
The ding means the bid is in
Bob looks pissed... big time
I think those people at the table got something like $77 for appearing on camera.
The bidder’s row podiums today can display up to five digits, but if someone bids a price that is over five digits, then leave it blank.
So, the display got adjusted, spent more money, due to inflation.
For some reason, that cracks me up!
"You said twelve thousand. Did you mean twelve hundred?"
Problem solved...unless she meant $12,000.
$12,000 is nothing compared to someone bidding $2,000,000.
...in 2008.
She meant $1,200, she was nervous. She tried changing her bid to $1000 and he didn't let her. The guy who bid $2 million was trying to be funny/ get attention.
I saw that episode
Just to let the contestant know, TPIR does not give away Harley Davisons on the show.
The first woman actually corrected herself to say 1000 - listen closely at 2:35 - she would have won if he had heard her correctly.
She only did it after the reaction Bob had to the bid. But, yes, had Bob accepted the change, she would've. Fortunately for her, she would get up on stage in a big spot later.
1000 bid would not have won.
@@stephf2053 actual price was 1698. If they had recorded her bid as 1000, and everyone else overbid, she would have won. "Closest without going over" ... Have you ever actually watched the show?
@@r6u356une56neyI think she forgot they all overbid the first time and combined the $1000 with the second bids of the others
How did Bob know they all had overbid?
I Think Bob should of retire years prior his hearing is horrible
12000 couldn't fit just 15 years later everybody was scared of the Y2K bug cause the Computers wouldn't know how to read 99 going into 00. Basically humans forgot a simple coding.
But really computers after the fix can crack billions of codes like in chess, Rubik's cubes and other things.
Here is simple Bob even mentioned we round up but never down. Round up to the closes bid so which means their system cannot not round up it had to round down as the bid can only go to 9999. The rules say any bid so it wasn't against the rules to bid 12000.
But this was 1985 there were not a lot stuff that cost 12k unless it was custom made.
Bob screwed everyone and couldn't hear for spit. Hits different now that he's a corpse and tongues are loose.
If you watch until the end, you'll notice they made yet another error. Bob needed to go wake them up over there.
plus the guy bid 1750, bob said 1700... it was quietly fixed
Connie: "I bid $12,000" *inserts pinky in mouth*
Bob: "Hahaha, Connie this is 1985. That amount of money doesn't even exist. That's like bidding a cajillion bajillion dollars."
I have a question for those that know more about the show. If the contestant wins all 3 balls & gets all 3 balls in the win circle, does the minor prize (to guess the price for the superball) go unmentioned?
If so, it'd make sense to have all 3 minor prizes + the superball prize mentioned, before rolling any of the balls. That 4th sponsor would not get any publicity.
Bob CANNOT HEAR on all of the shows from this era.
It is off-putting AF
I had a 1985 450 Nighthawk. I loved it. Nice riding bike.
This episode went bonkers. And when I said "Bonkers", the pricing game debuted on October 1st, 2001.
12000 ... we don't have room for that. LOL
NOW I am curious. When DID they upgrade for a fifth number???
I bought that exact same motorcycle in 85. That's when a motorbike was affordable, nowadays...forget it.
Back when Barker’s beauties were actually beautiful, and not men.
Ahhh, Holly
Gosh, motorcycles were so cheap then!
Contestants are dressed nicer than today’s contestants. ⭐️👍⭐️
barker was just giving her a hard time, disrespectfull
