** A similar moment when a very old lady named Lily got called down and when up on stage next to Barker.

* October 5, 1960 (nighttime): Bill entreated all the Yankees fans on the staff to give him his moment of glory as his team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, defeated New York in game 1 of the World Series, 6-4 (the Pirates would win the series in seven games). The first item up for bids was an ensemble of costume dresses modeled by 12 girls, who all surrounded Bill after being described. Bill passed on this bit of sage to the boys in the audience, home and studio:
-->'''Bill:''' When you bet on a team, it doesn't have to be for money!
** The first contestant, Paul Nordland saw the girls and this exchange took place (Mr. Nordlund, followed by Bill with an out-of-left-field malapropism):
-->'''Mr. Nordlund:''' Holy cow, my wife is watching!
-->'''Bill:''' Holy wife, my cow is watching!

* March 13, 1963 (nighttime): Zip the chimpanzee had the audience rolling as he demonstrated a pair of roller skates as an IUFB (it had a bonus attached to it); twice, Zip fell on his fanny.
-->'''Bill''': "He practiced all day doing that!
** At the start of that show, Bill introduced contestant no. 4, Anthony Kochinski and asked who he had in the audience to see him. His reply: "The original tranquilizer twins--my mother-in-law and my wife!"
* July 26, 1963 (nighttime): The third-to-last NBC episode had Bill starting right off describing a bonus a contestant had won the previous week (a role as an extra in a movie) and followed that by going straight to the first Item Up For Bids. Somewhere during the prize description, it dawned on Bill that he forgot to interview the contestants.
-->'''Bill''': "And everyone here in the theater knew it but me! The contestants knew it, the audience knew it...and now Hugh Downs will come out and finish the show!"
** Bill's reference to Hugh Downs alluded to the ''Tonight Show'' incident where host Jack Paar stormed off the set after having the term "water closet" censored. His announcer, Downs (then also the host of ''{{Concentration}}''), took over for that telecast.

** 1974: A NoBudget "Every Room In The House" Showcase with such "prizes" as paper plates and an eggbeater; the real Showcase was a Cadillac (or something similar). Apparently, the contestant who got this rare opportunity bid a mere $100 because, in his words, "I didn't want to go over!"

* September 14, 1977: This episode featured the debut of Secret X...and opened with Yolanda Bowsley, a contestant whose tube top also "came on down". Bob had no idea what was going on, so after he made his entrance, he saw the excessive amount of cheers and applause, got confused, misinterpreted it, and said things like "Whatever brought this, this is the way I want it from now on!" Bob would be informed of the incident after the first commercial break. Before the last One-Bid, the final contestant called down almost had a similar incident. Of this, Bob said that the contestant was "the best thing to happen to this show since Yolanda!"

* April 20, 1982: A contestant bid $1, thinking that his opponent had gone over; his opponent not only didn't overbid, but was a mere '''''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome $9]]''''' off, winning both Showcases. This incident is commonly used to show why it's never a good idea to bid an intentionally-low amount in the Showcase (currently, Showcases begin at around $15,000), but to be fair there was little chance of him winning no matter what he bid.
* February 8, 1983: An entire episode where pretty much everybody was ''drunk''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMMhgtzE9mA Watch the first segment here, with links to the rest.]]
* January 10, 1984: During the open, Johnny Olson called for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCjPvqYvOL0 Susan Derbeck.]] She, expecting to hear her future last name of Dupont, did not stand up for ''35'' seconds. After she finally came down, Johnny introduced Bob, but he wasn't there...and didn't appear for ''15'' seconds.

* December 1984: An [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1DRBiHt9xQ incident]] shortly after One Away debuted had Barker under the mistaken assumption that the "correct number" horns would be used after the contestant's second turn as well. Upon asking for the first horn, the standard bell sounded instead and the first number of the price was revealed; Bob, after asking if she had "one number right" (noting that the first number was ''already revealed''), hit the flat part right above the price — which, as it does now, is the signal to move the price-reveal another digit down. Bob continued to ask for horns, not noticing any of this, until the price had been fully-exposed.

** And it has happened again for Drew Carey.
* June 7, 2004: A contestant who won Half-Off went completely crazy over her win. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwuyNzJzCZE Here's one YouTube video of the incident]]. Some [[AvertedTrope hate this moment]] due to how loud it is, but user comments — most of which speculate what her orgasm moans would sound like and how well she'd do in bed — help save it for some.

* October 2008: Drew has problems with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxGGRxoYouM Flip Flop.]]
* October 14, 2008 (aired October 7): Rich Fields [[HeliumSpeech inhaled helium]] as part of a Showcase skit, then inhaled it ''again'' for his sign-off. Watch it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRhIyc6HpPY here]], in a clip from ''TheLateLateShowWithCraigFerguson''.

* 2009-2010: April Fool's Day got much weirder following the departure of Roger Dobkowitz. See [[Awesome/ThePriceIsRight the Crowning Moment Of Awesome page]] for more.
* September 23, 2009: The contestant playing [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKCIAhGqCUQ One Away]] claimed that she had practiced the game beforehand, then went on to do...Bob Barker's "Ladies, do I have at least one number right?" routine. This gets weird when you realize that, when Drew became host ''two years earlier'', he changed the question to "Oh, mighty Sound Effects Lady".

* October 2, 2003: Bob spins the wheel for a contestant who's in a wheelchair, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGGokl1Rmgg&feature=related fails to get it all the way around]]. His response? "This is the most humiliating moment of my life."
* June 7, 2004: A contestant who won Half-Off went completely crazy over her win. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwuyNzJzCZE Here's one YouTube video of the incident]]. Some [[AvertedTrope hate this moment]] due to how loud it is, but the comments on the video — most of which speculate what her orgasm moans would sound like and how well she would do in bed — help save it for some.

* October 2008: Drew has his share of problems with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxGGRxoYouM Flip Flop.]]

-->'''Craig Ferguson''': "That's why you do well in this country. That's a great show. You got a hot-looking girl, a couple of great motorcycles, and a guy inhaling helium. ''There's no more entertainment possible!''"

** 1974: A NoBudget "Every Room In The House" Showcase with such "prizes" as paper plates and an eggbeater; the real Showcase was a Cadillac (or something similar).
*** It was indeed a Cadillac. And if memory serves, the contestant only bid $100 because "I didn't want to go over!"
** 1976: A "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLxzZuqeiYU Bicentennial Salute]]" Showcase (done sporadically during the 1975-76 era) honoring Dr. John Barrett Clapinger (played by Roger Dobkowitz), a famous American physician and author who had a wife ''and'' a mistress; the real Showcase was a Cadillac El Dorado.

** 1981: As Johnny Olson introduces Bob at the top of the show, Door #2 opens to reveal...a small stand with a white card reading "APRIL FOOL'S!" The camera then shows Bob making what would turn out to be his very first audience entrance.
* September 14, 1977: This episode featured the debut of Secret X...and opened with Yolanda Bowsley, a contestant whose tube top also "came on down". Bob had no idea what was going on, so after he made his entrance, he saw the excessive amount of cheers and applause, got confused, misinterpreted it, and said things like "Whatever brought this, this is the way I want it from now on!"

She, expecting to hear her future last name of Dupont, did not stand up for ''35'' seconds. After she finally came down, Johnny introduced Bob, but he wasn't there...and didn't appear for ''15'' seconds.
-->'''Bob''': "Welcome to ''The Price is Right'' — if it's good enough for you, Susan, it's good enough for me!"

-->'''Bob''': "This [reveal] would be exciting, but everybody ''knows'' the [[PrecisionFStrike damn thing]]'s not '''there!''' It's ''here''!"
* 1990s: An ''extremely'' excited contestant named Ruby Jean got called to "come on down" to Contestant's Row. Overwhelmed, she ran ''past'' Contestant's Row and onto the stage, shrieking as she embraced Barker. This led to the following exchange:

* June 7, 2004: A contestant who won Half-Off went completely crazy over her win. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwuyNzJzCZE Here's one YouTube video of the incident]]. [[Tropers/{{A-l-e-x-99}} This Troper™]] [[AvertedTrope actually hates this moment]] due to how loud it is, but the comments on the video — most of which speculate what her orgasm moans would sound like and how well she would do in the bed — help save it. I especially like this one:

* October 2008: Drew has also had his share of problems with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxGGRxoYouM Flip Flop.]]

-->'''Bill''': "Normally when somebody wins a prize I say "Here is your price tag", tonight that's changed--(''to Mr. Jones'') champion, here is your membership to the Blue Cross."
* This quite humorous exchange took place on a Nov. 26, 1962 nighttime telecast. The contestants were bidding on a dry heat sauna. Thomas Linge was contestant number four, and he bid $1300 on his first turn. Upon his second turn:
-->'''Mr. Linge:''' (''to Bill'') Does that take weight off you?
-->'''Bill:''' Um, I don't know if it takes weight off ''me'', but...er, yeah, it takes weight off you.
-->'''Mr. Linge:''' I think I'll freeze. (''audience laughter'')

** Back then on the show, "freeze" meant the contestant wanted to stay at his/her current bid and was out of further play. The audience obviously took Mr. Linge's comment as wordplay.

-->'''Bill:''' Um, I don't know if it takes weight of me, but...er, yeah, it takes weight off you.

* 1990s: An ''extremely'' excited contestant named Ruby Jean get called to "come on down" to Contestants Row. Overwhelmed, she ran ''past'' Contestant's Row and onto the stage, shrieking as she embraced Barker. This led to the following exchange:

-->'''Bill''': Normally when somebody wins a prize I say "Here is your price tag", tonight that's changed--(''to Mr. Jones'') champion, here is your membership to the Blue Cross.

* 2009-2010: April Fool's Day got much weirder following the departure of Roger Dobkowitz. See [[CrowningMoment/ThePriceIsRight the Crowning Moment Of Awesome page]] for more.

-->'''Bill Cullen''': "Tune in tomorrow, when we give equal time to the Democratic Party!"

** 2009-2010: See [[CrowningMoment/ThePriceIsRight the Crowning Moment Of Awesome page.]]

-->'''Richard''': "Yes, and it was a special because I didn't get a damn--er, darn one right!"

-->'''Richard''': "Yes, and it's a good thing I wasn't on it because I didn't get a damn--er, darn one right!"

-->'''Bill''': "And you didn't get off to a good start tonight, either!"

** 1974: A NoBudget "Every Room In The House" Showcase with such "prizes" as paper plates and an eggbeater; the real Showcase was a Cadillac.

** 1981: As Johnny Olson introduces Bob at the top of the show, Door #2 opens to show...a small stand with a white card reading "APRIL FOOL'S!" The camera then shows Bob making what would turn out to be his very first audience entrance.

--->'''Bill''': "Normally I say "Here is your price tag" -- Mr. Jones, here is your membership to the Blue Cross."

-->'''Bill''': "This outfit gives away thousands of dollars worth of prizes and they are the chintziest bunch with this game! You know, I've been trying to get one for-let me see... (''opens up the box and looks inside, then closes it back up again'') ...I don't want it. Now, let me explain how the game is played -- first of all, someone comes in here and takes my place."

-->'''Bob''': "Welcome to ''The Price is Right'' -- if it's good enough for you, Susan, it's good enough for me!"
* December 1984: An [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1DRBiHt9xQ incident]] shortly after One Away debuted had Barker under the mistaken assumption that the "correct number" horns would be used after the contestant's second turn as well.

Bob continued to ask for horns, not noticing any of this, until the price had been fully-exposed.

** Making matters a bit weirder is that, in reality, none of Bob's shenanigans were unnecessary -- the game had been won a full minute earlier, as the first number was the only one left unchanged.

* October 6, 1986: The Shell Game cheating incident had several of these through Bob -- his reactions to the contestant (Deborah) and, later, playing up the rather anti-climatic reveal. At first, she tried to turn over one of the four shells (which didn't have the ball under it), and saw that the ball wasn't under it. After Bob scolded her, she put her chip next to ''the shell she just looked under'', to which Bob said that she was sweet for doing it but added "that's ''dumb''." After Deborah won the last two chips (and marked all the shells except the one she lifted), the audience applauded the upcoming win. ("You know, I'm pretty sure she's won this...").

* June 7, 2004: A contestant who won Half-Off went completely crazy over her win. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwuyNzJzCZE Here's one YouTube video of the incident]]. [[Tropers/{{A-l-e-x-99}} This Troper™]] [[AvertedTrope actually hates this moment]] due to how loud it is, but the comments on the video -- most of which speculate what her orgasm moans would sound like and how well she would do in the bed -- help save it. I especially like this one:

* On a handful of occasions, a contestant that has bid $1 higher than the person before them will have the next person bid $1 higher than ''them''. On one such occasion Drew quipped "So how does it feel?" to the second bidder.
* Circa 1959 (daytime): A promotion for the Barnum & Bailey Circus had an elephant brought on stage, who then proceeded to relieve itself of its...um..."[[UnusualEuphemism burden]]".

* January 27, 1960 (nighttime): The first item up for bids was a midget car. As Don Pardo was describing it, he began to break up laughing because show model Toni Wallace could not get the thing started. She finally did after the description and cruised the car to the right front of the contestants. Bill assured the contestants that the car they win "will have a motor".
* June 29, 1960 (nighttime): Contestant Richard Jones returned after a week off, following a "Honeymooners Special".

** Jones won the first item, a dining room set, and got so excited he fell off his chair and the curtain, raised at the start to show the item, was lowered over him.

* July 26, 1963 (nighttime): The third-to-last NBC episode had Bill starting right off describing a bonus a contestant had won the previous week (a role as an extra in a movie) and followed that by going straight to the first Item Up For Bids. Somewhere during the prize description, it dawned on Bill that he forgot to interview the contestants.

** Bill's reference to Hugh Downs alluded to the ''Tonight Show'' incident where host Jack Paar stormed off the set after having the term "water closet" censored. His announcer, Downs (then also the host of ''{{Concentration}}'') took over for that telecast.
* August 28, 1964 (nighttime): On the third-to-last nighttime episode of the original series, Bill plugged the home game (''Bid It Right: The Price is Right Card Game'') and discovered that the returning champion didn't get her second copy the previous week.

* September 4, 1972: The ''first episode of the revival'' had several of these.
** Connie, the very first contestant to play a pricing game (that being Any Number), was loud and somewhat jumpy. Bob also had this little gem before the game:

** During the Showcase Round, Connie was the Top Winner and told Bob ''to his face'' that "I don't trust you!" Presumably, she thought the Showcase was akin to the [[LetsMakeADeal Big Deal]] (''Price'' and ''Let's Make A Deal'' were similar in some respects) and that she would lose her car and fur coat. Bob reassured her this was not the case.
*** This is also something of a FunnyAneurysmMoment, due to all the scandals that Bob got himself in during his tenure as host.
** Following the very first Showcase, which featured a trip to Acapulco:

* September 8, 1972: Boo Boo Cooper, the second person ever to play Grocery Game, didn't completely understand its rules. Bob more than makes up for it.

** Her performance there caused the rest of the show to be somewhat rushed. She managed to get to the Showcase, and showed that she wasn't paying attention to Johnny Olson's prize descriptions:

* In general, pretty much every time the show did something weird for April Fool's Day:
** 1974: A NoBudget "Every Room In The House" Showcase with such "prizes" as paper plates and an eggbeater; the real Showcase was a Cadillac.
** 1976: A "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLxzZuqeiYU Bicentennial Salute]]" Showcase (done sporadically during the 1975-76 era) honoring Dr. John Barrett Clapinger (played by Roger Dobkowitz), a famous American physician and author who had a wife ''and'' a mistress; the real Showcase was a Cadillac El Dorado.
** 1977 (possibly): A bizarre Showcase where, after a dining room was shown, the model pulled off the tablecloth and a few platters shattered on the floor. A pair of [=TVs=] then smashed into each other from opposite ends, followed by the furniture at the back of the room falling and squashing the table. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_UjNweV5hM This promo]] shows all of the aforementioned description from 0:18-0:21, ''then'' 0:13-0:17.
** 2009-2010: See [[CrowningMoment/ThePriceIsRight the Crowning Moment Of Awesome page.]]
* September 14, 1977: This episode featured the debut of Secret X...and opened with Yolanda Bowsley, a contestant whose tube top also "came on down". Bob had no idea what was going on, so after he made his entrance, he saw the excessive amount of cheers and applause, got confused, misinterpreted it, and said things like "Whatever brought this, this is the way I want it from now on!" Bob would be informed of the incident after the first commercial break. During the last One-Bid, the final contestant called to come on down almost had a similar incident. Of this, Bob said that the contestant was "the best thing to happen to this show since Yolanda!"
** Years later, Bob would [[LampshadeHanging hang a lampshade]] on the whole thing by saying "She came on down and [[KeepAbreastOfThisIndex they]] came on out!"
* November 10, 1980: The first Grand Game win (long believed to be the debut, but was actually the eighth playing) in which Pauline (a Samoan) chased Bob around the stage. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qlmQd8XEb0 Watch it here.]]

** Samoans in general seemed to love Bob [[{{Yandere}} just a little TOO much...!]]
* April 20, 1982: A contestant bid $1, thinking that his opponent had gone over; his opponent not only didn't overbid, but was a mere '''''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome $9]]''''' off, winning both Showcases. This incident is commonly used to show why it's never a good idea to bid an intentionally-low amount in the Showcase (currently, Showcases begin at around $15,000), but to be fair there was little chance of him winning no matter what he bid.
* February 8, 1983: An entire episode where pretty much everybody was ''drunk''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMMhgtzE9mA Watch the first segment here, with links to the rest.]]

She, expecting to hear her future last name of Dupont, did not stand up for ''35'' seconds. After she finally came down, Johnny introduced Bob, but he wasn't there...and didn't appear for ''15'' seconds.

* December 1984: An [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1DRBiHt9xQ incident]] shortly after One Away debuted had Barker under the mistaken assumption that the "correct number" horns would be used after the contestant's second turn as well. Upon asking for the first horn, the standard bell sounded instead and the first number of the price was revealed; Bob, after asking if she had "one number right" (noting that the first number was ''already revealed''), hit the flat part right above the price -- which, as it does now, is the signal to move the price-reveal another digit down.

** Making matters a bit weirder is that, in reality, none of Bob's shenanigans were unnecessary -- the game had been won a full minute earlier, as the first number was the only one left unchanged.
* 1985: An older lady about to play Clock Game ''really'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Typo2CuSDPs didn't want a computer.]]

* October 6, 1986: The Shell Game cheating incident had several of these through Bob -- his reactions to the contestant (Deborah) and, later, playing up the rather anti-climatic reveal. At first, she tried to turn over one of the four shells (which didn't have the ball under it), and saw that the ball wasn't under it.

After Deborah won the last two chips (and marked all the shells except the one she lifted), the audience applauded the upcoming win. ("You know, I'm pretty sure she's won this...").

* A 1990s episode saw an ''extremely'' excited contestant named Ruby Jean get called to "come on down" to Contestants Row. Overwhelmed, she ran ''past'' Contestants Row and onto the gaming stage, shrieking as she embraced Barker. This led to the following exchange:
--> '''Bob''': "Now, Ruby Jean? You wanna play a pricing game, don't you?"
--> '''Ruby Jean''': "Yes! AAAIIIEEEHOOHOO!"
--> '''Bob''': "And you wanna play it ''right now,'' don't you?"
--> '''Ruby Jean''': "Yes! Yes! YES! OHHH!"
--> '''Bob''': ''(pointing to Contestants Row)'' "Will you explain to them why you get to play and they don't?"
--> '''Ruby Jean''': "I'm up ''here.''" ''(realizes her mistake, then shrieks in embarrassment before scampering for Contestants' Row)''
* June 6, 2002: The big reveal in Flip Flop was averted by a stuck price cover. Although the price was revealed enough that the outcome was known, Bob and the contestant ended up [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQmI8Clfms4 ripping the cover in half]], shaking the game board considerably in the process.
* June 7, 2004: A contestant who won Half-Off went completely crazy over her win. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwuyNzJzCZE Here's one YouTube video of the incident]].

I especially like this one:

* October 2008: Drew has also had his share of problems with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxGGRxoYouM Flip Flop.]]
* October 14, 2008 (aired October 7): Rich Fields [[HeliumSpeech inhaled helium]] as part of a Showcase skit, then inhaled it ''again'' for his sign-off. Watch it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRhIyc6HpPY here]], in a clip from ''TheLateLateShowWithCraigFerguson''.

** A lot of people actually consider that a DethroningMomentOfSuck due to it being one of the Drewcases.
* September 23, 2009: The contestant playing [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKCIAhGqCUQ One Away]] claimed that she had practiced the game beforehand, then went on to do...Bob Barker's "Ladies, do I have at least one number right?" routine. This gets weird when you realize that, when Drew became host ''two years earlier'', he changed the question to "Oh, mighty Sound Effects Lady".
** On a related side note, [[TheDrewCareyShow Mimi Bobeck]] was the Sound Effects Lady on April 1, 2010.

* A 1990s episode saw an ''extremely'' excited opponent named Ruby Jean get called to "come on down" to Contestants Row. Overwhelmed, she ran ''past'' Contestants Row and onto the gaming stage, shrieking as she embraced Barker. This led to the following exchange:

* In general, whenever a contestant bids $1 higher than the person before them, only to have the next person bids $1 higher than ''them''. On at least one occasion of this, Drew quipped "So how does it feel?" to the second bidder.
