Barkerisms: Stand by, we're experiencing technical difficulties edition
This last week has not been one that's been - as that Esther Madonna once said - "Something to Remember"... I spent the week getting more scatterbrained by the day, between a court hearing, a 12:30 am fire (the night before said court hearing, of course), having no phone service for 40 hours (thanks to said fire, of course), and problems getting ahold of my monthly check from my father (not related to any of the above, but obviously I had problems getting ahold of him because I HAD NO PHONE).
So, the end result was:
Accidentally taping over Tuesday's episode with a later episode of Deal Or No Deal (I was able to find Tuesday's episode online, which had been posted by members of golden-road.net for the viewers in New Orleans who didn't get TPIR)
NOT getting pricing game #3 from Wednesday's show (a big Three Strikes win) on tape, because they were working on the cable that morning (the cable service was also damaged from the fire). I had local channels, but no cable, but for about five minutes, I got left with a nice, blank picture.
Accidentally forgot to turn the TV from NBC to CBS on Thursday morning, hence taping whatever crap was on NBC that morning instead of Price (someone on the forum is going to get me that episode soon).
Fortunately, from what I do have, Bob was in his usual fine form last week. Unfortunately, I'd have more of Bob in his usual fine form if I wouldn't have spent the better part of the week running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
The next two weeks, we'll be getting reruns (boooo!). However, these episodes were from last October. As I likely haven't seen them, and Barkerisms haven't been posted from them, I will more than likely go ahead with business as usual with them. Why not? I need laughs. No laughs and no jokes make Maddy something something...
"I may faint. I don't ever remember a contestant saying it with that much confidence!" - Bob, after Jordan said she knows how to play Check Game
"She can't cash it. That saves us some money!"
"I can be Michelle Davis if I get a check! I don't mind. I can change my name!"
"Is it difficult to change a person's name? Can we get it done while we're on the air?"
"I look like a Michelle. I can pass for one."
"Do you like Jordan?"
"Yeah, I do."
"You can change it to Betty Lou if you want!"
"Would you like me to, Bob? I'll change it to whatever you want me to!"
- Bob and Jordan, after Bob noticed the check was made out to Michelle Davis, not Jordan Francis
"You step right back here. I want you to win. You have been a wonderful contestant, even though they don't know who you are. At least the person who wrote the check doesn't know who you are!" - Bob, having more fun with the blunder
"Now, not only does she have a voided check, but she has a check that belongs to Michelle Davis!" - Bob, after Jordan lost
"When I came up here, she said 'Bob, can I keep the check as a souvinier?' Of course you can! Just don't try to cash it, or you'll end up in jail!" - Bob, joining ol' Maddy in warning you about the dangers of identity theft
"In case our viewers are concerned, this is the Michelle that was on the check. She was another contestant. She just happened to be on the show, so we figured what the heck!" - Bob, just before Michelle spun the big wheel
"Amy didn't realize that she won. She had a look of disappointment on her face. But I straightened her out!" - Bob, after Amy didn't realize she'd won her way up on stage
"Stop! You're giving me a headache!" - Bob, after the audience chanted as-prin over and over, suggesting Amy take the aspirin in Grand Game
"John, I welcome you to Contestant's Row! And I tell you, this young man has something going for him. He's literally surrounded by pretty women!" - Bob, referring to the group John came with
"The actual... You know, there was a hysterical voice out there. There was a hysterical voice out here... '$1,200! $1,200!' What if the actual retail price is - I haven't looked - is $1,200? We've had that on the show before... Is it? Are you sure? Are you? Well, then we won't even look! Let's see. Uhh... No, I better look. Actual retail price... $1,299." - Bob, on an audience member who thought they knew the price
"Trent, let me straighten you out on one thing... You are not running for office here, you know! That's not the idea of this show!" - Bob, responding to Trent, who looked like he wanted to shake hands with everyone on the his way down to Contestant's Row
"Tell me, did you get her vote?" - Bob, after Trent trotted over and starting hugging Tova when she was called
"Trent is the winner, and now he has to say goodbye to everyone in Contestant's Row..." - Bob, as Trent (slowly) made his way up on stage
"I'm not going to try to figure it out.. He lost!" - Bob, after getting himself a bit confused on the math after Trent lost Balance Game
"That kid gets around pretty fast!" - Bob, after Scott got called, quickly ran up on stage to shake Bob's hand, then just as quickly went down to Contestant's Row
"Now, Maria, I have a prize for you, and I don't want you to hurt me when you see it!" - Bob, fearful of the very-excited Maria "tearing him from limb to limb"
"Wait, the game's over! What am I doing? I'm letting her go on.. The game's over! She gets one chance to do it. You had me hynotized here, you see!" - Bob, after getting mixed up during Shell Game
"Don't grab that $500, either!" - Bob, as Maria left the stage
"Daniel, being the gentleman that he is, thinks Gail should've won. But she was over by $1!" - Bob, after Daniel kept pointing toward Gail after their One Bid
"Yes, we were both born December 12. But you were born a few years after me!" - Bob, after Daniel showed him his passport (Daniel is exactly 63 years younger than Bob)
"Shirley. Being the curious old feller I am... What did that woman in the audience hand you as you were coming down?"
"My bracelet!"
"Why did she have your bracelet?!"
"It flew off!"
"Ohhh! You jumped up, and it flew off... I thought they were taking up a collection for you!"
- Bob, on Shirley's magic flying bracelet
"Bob, I love you!"
"I love you too! Wherefore art thou, Felisa?"
- Bob, on Felisa's love for him
"Now, let's just suppose you win down there. How ever will we get you up here?!" - Bob, on Lisa's broken leg
"No, don't touch me! I saw you almost break her other leg. I'm not going to mess with you!" - Bob, after Scott was called down
This was a tough choice this week... I had a tough time choosing between Jordan and Bob discussing the Check Game name blunder, and my eventual choice.. But, after serious thought, here is the Barkerism Of The Week:
"Ohhh, look at this! Now, I've seen a lot of pictures of me, but look at this... Thank you! Thank you very much!" - Bob, on Rochelle's Viva Bob Barker shirt (with Bob's head on Elvis' body. And, yes, Bob said "Thank you! Thank you very much!" like Elvis!)
