Barkerisms Of The Week: Five More Years (hopefully) edition
And, now for some more badly needed laughs...
"Now, before we proceed. Stephen, I want you to know the item up for bids will eventually end up right over there. Now don't you take your eye off that! We'll take care of getting another contestant, you just keep looking at that!" - Bob, trying to keep Stephen focused
"Stephen, are you listening!?" - Bob, as he placed the bag on the Balance Game scale a second time just to hear the sound again
"Have you ever considered getting a job?" - Bob, after Lindsay told him he spends most of his time snowboarding (it was later revealed that Lindsay is a snowboarding instructor)
"You want me to kiss you? We have a group of LA elementry school teachers here, and during the last commercial break, one of them stood up and said 'I want to give you a kiss, Bob!' So, one of them gets called, and the first thing she says when reaches contestant row is 'I want to give you a kiss, Bob!' What's wrong with these teachers? I think we have some desperate teachers here today!" - Bob, after Victoria was called
"Ransom... Ransom... I don't even want to stand next to a guy that size who can't get the wheel all the way around. That's disgusting!" - Bob, after Ransom (who looked to be about 6'3" and 280 pounds) didn't get the wheel all the way around
"Now that's an heirloom. I want you all to take a look at this shirt. This picture on her shirt was the very first one of me taken when I started hosting Truth Or Consequences. That was taken before I'd even done the show. It was a publicity thing... I was so cute back then! That one was taken a little later..." - Bob, on Brenda's "Now... Or Then" shirt (The "then" picture was from 1956, the "now" was a recent one)
"Uhhh.. I think we shall proceed!" - Bob, after Irene kissed him and starting rambling
"He may not have gotten the wheel all the way around, but Ransom is the top winner in today's showcase!" - Bob, before the start of the day's showcases
"Are you listening to me? I'm making a speech, and you're clear over there, looking at the audience!" - Bob, on Veronica not paying attention as he explained the rules to Any Number
"Okay, now you can look at the audience!" - Bob, after he finished explaining the rules to Veronica
"Hurry up, Cleta. Get up here, or I'll proceed without you!" - Bob, losing his patience
"We prefer 'least expensive'!" - Bob, after Cleta repeated the rules for Step Up, using the word "cheapest"
"Well, you could've won the whole thing... Go have a talk with Lee!" - Bob, after Cleta ignored Lee's advice and stopped (had she followed his advice, she would've won everything)
"Lee and Cleta have been married for 41 years, and Lee? Cleta has asked me to tell you it's all over!" - Bob, worried that a pricing game could break them up before reaching 42 years
"Well, it's a big wheel, and you're just a little girl!" - Bob, on Vicki's concerns about getting the wheel all the way around
"And she's doing a jumping spin... That's a good way for a little girl to lose a tooth!" - Bob, a bit worried about Vicki's spinning style
"You're Lynnsey, you know that?" - Bob, after Lindsey moved her hair so it no longer obscured her nametag
"Well, if you're going to miss, miss them all!" - Bob, after Christopher got all three prices wrong on Make Your Move
"No.. No... Uh, uhhh uhhh... This can be a confusing game!" - Bob, standing there flipping the panels back and forth on Flip Flop
"Boy, she left in a hurry. The iron woman left me up here alone in a hurry!" - Bob, on Gina's quick departure after she lost Flip Flop
"Bob can't help!" - Bob, after Christopher yelled "Come on, Bob!" after he spun the wheel
"It was a real pleasure to meet you, now get down to Contestant's Row where you belong!" - Bob, after Theresa was picked, and headed right for the stage
"Theresa was right, she belongs up on this stage. She knew that. She tried to come up here in the first place, but I threw her out. Theresa, you knew you belonged up on this stage all the time. Welcome back!" - Bob, after Theresa won the one-bid and got up on stage after all
"She's trying to pick the lock to the car!" - Bob, after Myrtle started patting her hands against the lock for the car in Master Key
"It is showcase time on The Price Is Right. And I want the two of you to know after what we've been through in the last hour, a double overbid is unacceptable!" - Bob, on Thursday's 0 for 6 performance
"Lina, Leila, Lisa. How did you get in here, Warren?!" - Bob, more than a bit amused by the show's first four contestants
Bob: "John, have you been watching The Price Is Right for awhile?"
John: "Many years."
Bob: "What do contestants do when Rich calls your name?"
John: "Well they go and... OHH!!" *John heads back to Contestant's Row*
Rich: "Yeah!"
- Bob, on yet another contestant who thinks "Come on down!" means "Come right up to the stage!"
Thank goodness for all those laughs, in a week where more pricing games were lost than won, and we ended the last two shows with double overbids in the showcases...
The Barkerism Of The Week:
"Now, wait. I think we are missing a very important conversation. Did you not turn to him and ask him what you were bidding on? Did you not see the boat? Did you not hear Rich describe it? How long have you been in this condition? Is there a doctor in the house? Well, there's one. Dr. Ralph, how would you diagnose his condition? Hopeless, he said!" - Bob, after Stephen took forever to bid and appeared to be quite lost
"Now, before we proceed. Stephen, I want you to know the item up for bids will eventually end up right over there. Now don't you take your eye off that! We'll take care of getting another contestant, you just keep looking at that!" - Bob, trying to keep Stephen focused
