I hope that no one decides to pull a "how many Amber's does it take to change a lightbulb" joke here, lightbulb jokes are kinda dim.

I have no idea where to find it, but Barker did something very similar in the '80s.

I see that the "EXIT" sign in the audience is now in the shape of a price tag.

It is out there somewhere. I'm sure of it. I believe it was just after a playing of Barker's Bargain Bar and Bob for one reason or another, perhaps a difficult contestant, decides to sit down on the door border. I guess he thought he'd be able to slide his butt close enough to the edge that he'd miss the bulb. In any case, he did indeed break a bulb. Almost near the same area as Amber I believe. I don't think it was an upload from Carlos, so I do think it's out there.

That's right. It was not a clip I uploaded, so it could very well be online somewhere. I would be interested in seeing it myself. It's one I have never watched before.

Before they started to play Barker's Bargain Bar, Barker noticed the name of the game -- which was a separate sign mounted on the arch that connected the two prize displays -- was missing. He joked that he was too depressed to go on and tried to sit on the border. The camera takes a shot of Janice pointing to the bulbs and trying to stop him from sitting there, but he sits and breaks a bulb. The bulb itself is still intact, it just broke near the socket. Janice tries to "roll" it back in place and there's a big spark when it rolls over the socket.
