"The sign of a good game, is when you don't have to explain it every day. The key is not simplicity, but apparent simplicity. Password looks like any idiot could have made it up, but we have 14 of our people working on that show. There is a great complexity behind the screen. It requires great work to keep it simple."

*sticks new tag on with pride*

Are we bidding on an sentient robot? Cuz it sounds like a evil, sentient robot.

OK, let's go with $2,222 for the all-knowing, evil, sentient robot thing.

One and a half racks for gamesurf... *ding!*

...and technically you're bidding on 30 months of access on the "all-knowing, evil, sentient robot thing", not the robot thing itself. $2,222 for Numbers *ding!*



tpiradam, what say you?

$1,600 for tpiradam... *ding!*

...and instant shutdown by 04 *ding!*





Well, the ARP is:



Wait, seriously? $2,970. Numbers, come up on stage!



Sorry about messing up your nametag earlier. Here, let me run backstage and actually get you one that says 123123123

*runs backstage, expect me to come back in 6 hours, and I swear this will be the last delay, or I'll buy everyone in this studio a car*

Gah, I should've known. 99 bucks a month, in hindsight it was so easy.

*waits patiently for 9821*

Watch him combine the three sets of 123 and come out with 666.

I just realized I've been left up here by myself.

Time to exact a little bit of revenge from an earlier show on my good friend TPIRfan.  :-)

I said I'd be back with your name on a price tag, and oh boy, did I ever do it!


Your name is on the Giant Price Tag! :P

I doubt you'll be able to take that home, so I've got a couple of prizes for you instead!


It's a leaning tower of Nintendo Switch accessories and dresser! First, that Nintendo Switch comes bundled with Let's Go, Pikachu! and a Poké Ball Plus (but not Animal Crossing: New Horizons because 9821 took too long to start the darn show :P ). 3 additional pairs of Joy-Cons, 4 pairs of Joy-Con Charging Grips, Adjustable Charging Stand, and pair of Joy-Con Wheels are included! Also, this lovely 6 Drawer Double Dresser comes in a lovely shade of red with black tassels! This dresser extends up 38”, and is willing to give your room some more oomph!

If you want to win those items, you'll have to conquer the Magic Square.


The game is simple; one digit in each column is correct. Choose the right one for all three digits, and you win. If you don't, I'll even be nice and tell you which ones you didn't miss :)

So, start cracking! We don't have all day!

*puts away tape*

This feels like sexed-up 2 for the Price of 1 and I'm all for it. Let's go with $615

$615, is that correct?












*buzz!*


Nope. But how many does Numbers have right?




*ding!*

One right. Be careful this time Numbers; if you blow this chance, you're done.

Also, why are you fumbling around with your hands? I can tell you from personal experience that that doesn't look good on camera.

Here comes the moment of truth. For a six-thousand-something drawer and some awesome Nintendo Switch gear, is Numbers right with $735?























*Buzz! Losing horns!*









(I'll take the blame for this one, because I totally forgot to change the setup so the correct answer wasn't dead in the middle before the show started. That was unnecessarily mean.) But hey, at least you get to spend 30 months trying to negotiate with AI that humans aren't that bad! And you'll be back for our Gift Exchange. But now, we must take a commercial break. Don't go anywhere!
























I meant don't go anywhere. We're back! Announcer, who's the next contestant?

Say, have you ever heard of paying the rent?

How did the landlord find me? I'm not here; I'm my brother Pedro.

No, I mean our next contestant, PayingTheRent! Please stand, but DON'T COME ON DOWN this special episode of The Price is Right!

You solved one problem, but I still have to deal with my landlord.

Believe it or not, this next item up for bids might actually help!

A fishbowl of cash so I can finally pay him off?



No, silly, that would never fly with S&P.







Instead, we've got a refurbished revolver!



According to a wise man on Family Feud, a way to kill a lively party is with a gun. This mid-1800's revolver from Hopkins & Allen comes with a 5" octagonal barrel and can hold up to 5 .31 caliber bullets! This gun also comes with a light even patina!

Don't tempt me, Announcer. Anyways, PTR, you start the bidding.

I’m coming on down anyway because your rent is past due.

And what in the actual f?

I have absolutely no clue what to bid here. 

One Thous...Twelve Hun....no...let’s go with One Thousand!
