00:00Aaron, believe it or not, I have another one of these!
00:04A new car!
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for those moments from The Price is Right that
00:13felt chaotic and unhinged.
00:15It looked as if he'd been stabbed.
00:19Oh! Oh!
00:21In the heart!
00:22In the heart, I know!
00:24Number 20, Mad at Loss.
00:26A contestant named Linda played the notoriously difficult car game Three Strikes back when she appeared on The Price is
00:32Right.
00:33After making a few correct guesses, her luck completely ran out.
00:36When she pulled the third and final strike disc from the bag, she didn't wait around for consolation.
00:41In a fit of sheer frustration, Linda aggressively threw the disc back into the bag, turned on her heel, and
00:47stomped right off the stage before Bob Barker could even finish his sentence.
00:51There's that set.
00:53Number four!
00:56Now, I think you know where the seven goes, don't you?
01:01Barker, left standing completely alone, joked to the laughing audience that she didn't want to discuss it, adding that she
01:07struck the producer and hit a cameraman on her way out.
01:10She threw it back in the bag, she stomped off, she struck the producer, she hit a cameraman, we'll be
01:18back after this.
01:20Number 19, Flip or Flop Cheater.
01:23During a 2005 episode of The Price is Right, a contestant named Breton completely broke the rules during the game
01:29Flip or Flop.
01:30After Bob explained how to play, Breton bypassed the actual game mechanics.
01:35Instead of flipping or flopping numbers to guess the price of a digital piano, he walked over and pressed the
01:41red button meant only for the host, instantly revealing the correct answer.
01:44No!
01:46No!
01:56I'm going home!
01:57The audience gasped, and a stunned Barker yelled, no, before jokingly storming off the stage.
02:03Barker refused to stand next to this troublemaker, but ultimately awarded the bewildered Breton the prize just to get him
02:09off the stage.
02:10There is only one solution to this almost insoluble problem.
02:15I'm going to give you the prize, get off the stage.
02:18Number 18, Breaking a Light on the Wheel.
02:21During a 2013 episode of The Price is Right, a contestant let his excitement get the absolute best of him.
02:26As he spun the big wheel, he apparently somehow came into contact with one of the lights on the set,
02:30his hands smashing the glass bulb, showering the stage floor with debris.
02:34Hey, he's fine. I never saw that happen before. How'd you do that? Was that well? Oh, it didn't happen.
02:39Yeah, muscles.
02:41Okay, we'll clean all that up. 75.
02:44A shocked Drew Carey checked to make sure the contestant was uninjured, jokingly asking if those were muscles that caused
02:50it.
02:50A member of the stage crew then swept up the glass while the next contestant prepared for her spin.
02:55Look at George go.
02:58Thanks, George.
03:00Number 17, She's Down.
03:02Look, look.
03:08A contestant named Judy suffered a painful mishap while spinning the iconic big wheel when she appeared as a contestant
03:14on The Price is Right back in 2014.
03:16As she pulled down on the wheel with force, she accidentally lost her footing and severely twisted her ankle.
03:22Despite the nasty injury, Judy proved to be a ferocious competitor.
03:26Show producers provided her with medical attention and a pair of crutches, allowing her to stay on stage
03:31and successfully compete in the final showcase showdown.
03:34While she ultimately didn't win the showcase, she earned the audience's respect before heading to the hospital for treatment immediately
03:40after taping.
03:41Thanks for watching the show.
03:43We're going to think for a Judy as soon as we wrap it up here.
03:46And please get your pets paid a newbie.
03:47We'll see you next time on The Price is Right.
03:49Number 16, Humping Around.
03:51We've seen people hug cars, kiss cars, and even cry on the hood of cars when they win them.
03:56You have a degree in what?
03:58TV, film.
03:58And what are you going to do?
04:00Uh, I don't know.
04:03I want to win a car!
04:05But one contestant took his appreciation for a brand new sedan to an entirely different, incredibly uncomfortable level.
04:12Upon realizing they had successfully won a shiny new vehicle, a player named Josh completely lost his mind,
04:18ran over to the prize, and proceeded to briefly dry hump the hood.
04:22Look at him! Look at him! He's hugging his car! He's hugging his car! Congratulations!
04:28He followed it up with a crowd-pleasing victory dance, but the dry humping was what made the impression.
04:33We imagine that the car needed some serious detailing before it was driven off the studio lot.
04:38Number 15, Help From The Bench.
04:39A contestant named Henry won while playing Bonkers on this 2013 episode.
04:44Overjoyed, he celebrated by jumping up and down and pumping his arms.
04:48However, his intense enthusiasm caused him to dislocate his shoulder on stage.
04:52Henry was celebrating and going, and he dislocated his shoulder.
04:56When it came time to spin the big wheel later in the show, Henry was unable to participate due to
05:01the injury.
05:02His wife, Alice, had to step in and spin the wheel on his behalf.
05:05My wife, my baby, Cece at home, and all my friends watching.
05:09Thank you. How about...
05:1195!
05:13Don't hurt yourself.
05:14Henry managed to win his spin anyway, and host Drew Kauri later updated the audience,
05:18confirming that Henry was doing fine despite the painful celebration mishap.
05:22Hopefully, it didn't keep him from going on the trip to Hawaii that he won.
05:26He can come on the show, maybe?
05:28Look at this little cast on her.
05:30I know.
05:31Just a good guy.
05:31Number 14, Can't Figure Out 10 Chances.
05:34A contestant named Joy is tasked with writing down the prices of three prizes using given digits
05:39on the notoriously difficult Price is Right game, 10 Chances.
05:42Completely confused by the mechanics, she repeatedly forgets the rule that the price of the prize must end in a
05:48zero.
05:49She continuously wastes her turns, rewriting the exact same incorrect numbers or configurations that don't make sense.
05:56Finish it off.
05:57You used the one twice there.
06:02Now, you've used the one here twice.
06:05An increasingly exasperated and exhausted Bob Barker tries desperately to guide her,
06:10playfully mocking her and threatening to enforce a time limit.
06:13Though Joy miraculously stumbles into a correct guess at the final second,
06:17Barker's absolute disbelief makes the moment unforgettable.
06:30Number 13, Overexcited.
06:33A contestant named Sona took coming on down to the Price is Right to a dangerous extreme.
06:39After correctly guessing a price to make it onto the main stage,
06:42she was so consumed by pure joy that she charged right at host Drew Carey.
06:46Sona aggressively jumped into Carey's arms for a massive bear hug.
06:49This sudden momentum completely threw the host off balance,
06:52sending both of them crashing hard to the floor.
06:55Because they were standing right near the edge of the stage,
06:57Carey nearly tumbled headfirst right into the front row of the audience.
07:01She did end up going home with $3,000 and the video that will go viral.
07:06Yes, do not hurt the host.
07:08Oh my gosh.
07:09Wow.
07:10He's okay.
07:11As a mortified Sona apologized, Carey laughed it off and assured everyone he was okay.
07:15Announcer George Gray quickly joked, Sona, do not break the host or our set.
07:20Say the prize.
07:21Sona, do not break the host or our set.
07:25And then I will say, how'd you like a brand new car?
07:28Number 12, Cool Joke Bra.
07:30Most contestants on Contestants Row use logic or suggestions from the crowd to place their bids.
07:35Evan Goding, however, had a very specific strategy in mind.
07:38No matter what product was shown, whether it was an electric guitar, a piece of exercise equipment,
07:43or a set of appliances, Evan repeatedly and confidently bid $420.
07:49Or a bid with those numerals in it.
07:51What was her bid, Bob?
07:52$250, $325.
07:55$325, $325, $325, $325, $325.
07:57You know I'm gonna have to go for $420, Bob.
07:59$420.
08:00The subtle counterculture nod was entirely lost on host Bob Barker at first.
08:04But the studio audience completely understood the joke, erupting in cheers and giggles every single time.
08:10Evan became an instant internet legend for turning this wholesome family-friendly game show
08:14into his own personal comedy routine.
08:16Proving that sometimes, staying committed to the bit is worth more than winning a hot tub.
08:21Actual retail price, $960.
08:25Tiffany does win with that $1.
08:28Number 11, Prefame Aaron Paul.
08:30A 20-year-old Aaron Paul delivered one of the most hyper-energetic, viral performances in the history of the
08:36show.
08:37The future Breaking Bad actor was a ball of pure adrenaline from the second his name was called from the
08:41studio audience.
08:42When he made it to the main stage, he frantically screamed, touched his face in absolute disbelief,
08:47and repeatedly yelled to Bob Barker that he was his idol.
08:59Paul played the pricing game, any number, with chaotic intensity, barking out digits, and bouncing off the walls.
09:05Though he won a desk, his heartbreaking $132 overbid during the final showcase left him aghast and unbelieving.
09:26Number 10, Fainting Spell.
09:28We totally get it.
09:30Winning the showcase showdown rules and is most definitely a cause for celebration.
09:35$9,218, a difference of $2,218.
09:41A contestant named Eileen Ferris apparently couldn't handle her winning appearance on the show, however,
09:45becoming overcome with shock at her achievements.
09:48Ferris actually faints after she wins it all, eyes rolling into the back of her head and into a full
09:53collapse.
09:54You win, Eileen.
09:56You win.
09:58Host Bob Barker immediately rushes to her aid, as do several members of the Price is Right staff.
10:04She's all right.
10:06Take care of her here.
10:08She's fitting.
10:10I wouldn't shoot her down there on the floor.
10:13No.
10:13Let her have a little privacy.
10:15Thankfully, the camera cuts to Eileen moving around on the floor, and Barker mentions to the studio audience that she's
10:20all right.
10:20Number 9, Bad Timing.
10:22Patricia Bernard, come on down.
10:25You're the next contestant on The Price is Right.
10:28For many diehard fans of The Price is Right,
10:30getting called down to Contestants Row is equivalent to one of the most exciting moments of their lives.
10:36Imagine for a moment, then, that a situation where you're actually not there to hear those immortal words come on
10:41down in person.
10:42Now, I have a suggestion.
10:44I have a suggestion.
10:46Patricia has gone to the little girl's room.
10:49She can't come to us.
10:50Let's all go to Patricia.
10:51Here we go.
10:52Well, that's exactly what happened to a contestant by the name of Patricia Bernard, who was, well, let's say, indisposed
10:58when her name was called.
11:00Someone with the audience is tasking.
11:02Someone from the audience is tasked with retrieving Bernard from the restroom, and everyone has a great big laugh about
11:07the whole affair.
11:08Here comes Patricia, the leader, and Patricia is here.
11:16All in all, great happiness in the world, great happiness in our studio.
11:22Number 8, Manuela Reveals the Answer.
11:25Three chances to give me the price tag to the Hyundai Sonata SE.
11:28$19,000, $21,000, $18,000, $20,000, $22,000, which one is it?
11:32All it took was one major league goof for a contestant named Andrea to come away with a brand new
11:38car.
11:39Said goof has since gone on to become one of the most well-known game show mistakes of all time,
11:44but we honestly believe this could have happened to anyone.
11:47Oh!
11:49I won it!
11:54Hey, congratulations, Manuela just gave you a car!
11:56Who it did happen to, however, is the Price is Right model slash presenter, Manuela, who accidentally revealed the winning
12:02price card during the game.
12:04She immediately knows what's happened and attempts to hide her embarrassment, and Andrea goes home a happy contestant.
12:10At the end of the day, we're only human, and I obviously made a very expensive mistake, but I made
12:18someone very happy.
12:19Number 7, Bob's Turn.
12:21See what we meant when we said this could happen to anyone?
12:23It was Bob Barker's turn to accidentally reveal the answer to a contestant on this episode of The Price is
12:29Right.
12:29The original Texas chili.
12:33Okay, now which one of these products do you want to start with, Albert?
12:37Well, since I'm from Texas, let's start with the chili.
12:39Barker was already a seasoned and professional game show host at this point, but even professionals can make mistakes.
12:45Barker, to his credit, takes it extremely well when he accidentally reveals the price of an item to a contestant
12:50named Albert during Pick a Pair.
12:51Do you know how I know they're $1.59?
12:54Because we've got to do something about these cards.
12:56Bring that back here.
12:57That rate...
12:57Oh, wait a minute.
12:59What am I doing?
12:59The game's not over.
13:00The host admits that he's been doing it a long time, and that he's making a fool of himself.
13:05But it all comes across as good-natured, as the studio audience laughs alongside the pair on stage.
13:10Don't stand there and laugh at me.
13:11I'm making a fool of myself, Albert.
13:14I've been here for all these years playing this game.
13:16You know it well enough.
13:17You knew I was goofing.
13:19Why didn't you stop me there?
13:20Number 6, Look Out.
13:22It's the job of stage presenters on The Price is Right to introduce all items, big and small, to the
13:27contestants.
13:28Presenter Rachel Reynolds made for some memorable TV on this moment when she accidentally crashed a Ford Mustang.
13:34It comes with the standard features, including a V6 engine, air conditioning, plus the pony package, and Mach 460 stereo
13:41with 6-disc in-dash CD changer, the Ford Mustang, Bob.
13:45Reynolds apparently mistook the car's clutch for its brake, which led to the car slamming into a door on The
13:50Price is Right stage.
13:51As with most moments of this nature, host Bob Barker gently needles Reynolds about the incident, but the overall atmosphere
13:58celebrates the fun and unpredictable nature of television.
14:01And this, this is just the way, this is just the way that Rachel drives on the freeway, too.
14:08Years later, Reynolds would relive the incident, this time on purpose, for host Drew Carey and the 2011 The Price
14:14is Right April Fools episode.
14:15I, I think the car, I think the car's still okay.
14:18Uh, Cameron.
14:19Yes.
14:19We'll get you a brand new car, I swear.
14:22Number 5, Exactly.
14:24Contestants Row can be a nerve-wracking place.
14:26It's an area where contestants can momentarily lose their minds on commonly priced items, try and undercut their competition by
14:33bidding a dollar, or just get prices EXACTLY right.
14:37You know, as you do.
14:38That's an interesting bid.
14:40How did you settle on 2140?
14:42I seen that on there last week and that was the exact price.
14:44I know that's what I mean.
14:45I seen it.
14:47I watch you every day.
14:49Michael Marlowe was a die-hard fan of The Price is Right to the point where he recognized a Honda
14:53motorcycle that came up for bid.
14:55Since he actually recalled what it went for, Marlowe bid the exact price of the Honda and got to get
15:00up on stage.
15:01First number is 2.
15:062,148.
15:07You got it exactly right.
15:10You got it exactly right.
15:12Barker seems to appreciate Marlowe's moxie and attention to detail, and the contestant was able to walk away with over
15:1812 grand in cash and prizes.
15:20That, ladies and gentlemen, is the biggest cash winner ever in this game, and he deserves it.
15:27Number 4, Contestant Gets Lost.
15:30We know it's probably a bummer to lose out after spinning the big wheel, but this next entry just adds
15:35that little bit of insult to injury, doesn't it?
15:38The video clip of a contestant named Kari Kinder went viral after it showed the mother of two attempting to
15:43leave the stage and failing.
15:45Kinder told Inside Edition about the experience and how a producer was attempting to help navigate her way from the
15:49stage to no avail.
15:51So, I'm just trying to get the heck off the stage, and the poor producer in the back behind the
15:57stage is whispering screaming at me,
15:59this way, this way, no, that way.
16:02The irony to it all, Kinder actually won a navigation system while on Contestant's Row.
16:07We genuinely cannot make this stuff up.
16:09What was the prize you won to make it to the stage?
16:12So, I did win a navigation system, so hopefully I won't get lost again.
16:17Number 3, Train Derailment.
16:19For years, this little train on the Price is Right could be relied upon to deliver all of the items
16:24up for bid on Contestant's Row in a cute and timeless fashion.
16:27All of this history came down to a crashing halt on January 24th, 2017, however, when it finally derailed.
16:34Sean!
16:388!
16:398.05.
16:408.
16:41Whoa!
16:43And naturally, when the inevitable finally happened,
16:46the train was carrying coffee brewing equipment that went to pieces all over the stage.
16:51Wow, look, they almost have it all cleaned up.
16:53Look how quick those guys are.
16:56It's pretty amazing.
16:57Thankfully, it happened as the train was leaving the stage, and the cleanup crew was able to take care of
17:01things quickly.
17:02The funniest part of it all, though, just has to be the contestant who changes his bid to a dollar.
17:08$1.
17:11Number 2, Wardrobe Malfunction.
17:13The behind-the-scenes relationship between host Bob Barker and model Diane Parkinson went public back in the 90s,
17:19over the course of lawsuits and public press conferences.
17:22This clip from the Price is Right predates this, but nevertheless showcases the pair's occasionally flirtatious on-screen antics.
17:29Wait, wait, wait, no, wait, just a minute.
17:31Wait, move back over there.
17:32Look at this.
17:33Now, let go.
17:34Hey!
17:35Now, wait a minute.
17:36Diane suffers a wardrobe malfunction shortly after showcasing the prize,
17:40and Bob makes it a point to draw attention to the moment rather than letting it go.
17:44Diane, come back here.
17:45Diane, come here.
17:47Now, just a minute.
17:48Let's just...
17:48Now you're having trouble with that, too?
17:51What kind of a show is this now?
17:53Diane attempts to hide before coming back onto the stage, but it doesn't end there.
17:57Honestly, getting a little uncomfortable and most definitely off the rails.
18:01What's the matter?
18:02Is your dress broken or something?
18:03Huh?
18:04What'd you say?
18:05I think I put on some white.
18:08And we know where you put it.
18:10Now.
18:11Number one, don't hug me, bro.
18:13Maybe this was the comeuppance Bob Barker deserved after our previous entry discussing Diane Parkinson.
18:19The contestant who won the game Pathfinder was so excited that she was just determined to chase Bob down
18:24for what we assume was a big hug after it was all over.
18:27You've won a car.
18:29Yes.
18:29Don't.
18:30Don't attack me.
18:31Don't.
18:31Don't touch me.
18:32Barker then, somewhere in his 80s, is more than a bit apprehensive at this approach and tries to hide behind
18:38Rachel Reynolds.
18:39You've won the car.
18:41Hold it.
18:42Keep her away from me.
18:42It's more than a bit chaotic, definitely funny, and certainly indicative of the anything-can-happen reputation of The Price
18:49is Right.
18:49Don't let her get me, Rachel.
18:54Folks, we have a showcase showdown after this.
18:59I will be here.
19:00Did you watch The Price is Right on snow days or sick days?

19:04Let us know in the comments.
19:10Let us know in the comments.
