The Price is Right: Renty's Great Return! Ep.3 -- Showcases

[AMGray1986]

I'll play

[Mr. Weatherman]

Wow. Happy to see so much participation! Sign-ups will close as soon as tomorrow's Price ends on the East Coast. We'll begin shortly thereafter. If you want to play, there's still plenty of time to get in line!

[whammy007]

I'm mainly more of a host than a player when it comes to forum shows, but since I haven't had a lot of time for working on scripts, the least I can do to help support the HYO section is to get in line with the other fine folks.

[Mr. Weatherman]

Sign-ups are now CLOSED

I want to thank everyone who signed up. This is an outstanding field of participants to choose from, so selecting nine from this group will be challenging!

We'll begin sometime this afternoon. The first four will be notified via PM when we start, as well as everyone called on down thereafter.

Enjoy the show, everyone, and good luck to those who make it into Contestant's Row!

[Mr. Weatherman]

“Renty’s Price is Right” - Episode 0003B -- Taped: 10/29/15 to … -- Air: TBA -- Host: Renty Van Halen -- Announcer: Randy West -- Barker's Renty's Beauties: Janice Pennington, Rachel Reynolds, Claudia Jordan -- Producer: Roger Dobkowitz  -- ...and a whole bunch of other people I’ll give credit to even though they really aren’t involved in this production in reality



(Barker-era “Walking” plays)

Here it comes! From the Virtual Bob Barker Studio at CBS in a place far from Hollywood! The internet’s most exciting indefinitely-long period of time of fantastically mediocre prizes! It’s the fabulous, indefinitely long, Price is Right!

therealcu2010, come on down!

Schfifty, come on down!

Prizes, come on down!

and…

JustBecause, come on down!

You are the first four contestants on The Price is Right!

(’72 main theme plays)

And now, here’s a man who is halfheartedly attempting to breathe some life back into an otherwise dying section of a forum located within the deepest depths of the interwebs, the star of The Price is Right…

…Renty Van Halen!

(Renty enters from Door #2, gives finger pistol gestures to the crowd, takes mic from Janice)

Welcome to The Price is Right!

(audience obeys the applause sign as commanded)

I appreciate that warm welcome, and look up, as the first item up for bids today comes on down...




It’s a pair of iPads – more specifically, it’s an iPad Air 2 and an iPad Mini 4! These tablet computers from Apple that are totally not becoming an afterthought in society thanks to the advent of "phablets" each feature a 128 gigabyte storage capacity, which will surely provide you with enough space to hold all of your Facebook comment reply memes and illegally downloaded music, if that’s even still a thing!


And those iPads will go to the one of you four who bids nearest to the actual retail price without going over… JustBecause, we’ll start with you, because, well, just because... What do you bid?




Bidding Order: (1) JustBecause, (2) Prizes, (3) Schfifty, (4) therealcu2010

[JustBecause]

I'll bid... $1100

[Prizes]

Thanks for having me here, Renty! $1,248, if you please.

[Schfifty]

I'll go with $950.

[therealcu2010]

$1

[Mr. Weatherman]

(note to Adam/other mods who can do this: can we get the thread title updated to the current segment of the show whenever possible? Thanks )

and the actual retail price is…


$1,298


Prizes is the winner!

Come right up here on stage beside me. Now, Prizes, those iPads are pretty cool, but I bet you didn’t sign up for this show to virtually win something you may or may not already be using to participate in this show with. Instead, I bet you would rather win this…





A new car!


(Prizes nods with approval and claps, but deep down, she is giddier than a horny college kid rounding first base for the first time)


It’s a Chevy Impala LS! This basic model of Chevrolet’s flagship car comes loaded with all of the standard features you can hope for, including a 6 speed automatic transmission and an XM satellite radio. It’s a Chevy Impala!


That, my friend, is a decent car. And you can win that decent car playing Temptation. I bet you know how to play, don’t you? Don’t answer that, because I assume you do, and I don’t want to bore our audience with an explanation of how to play through the use of random comparisons like today being your birthday or whatever. Instead, let us show you the first number in the price of that car…




ding


It’s a 2.

Now, feast your eyes on this first prize. Randy, why don’t you tell us about it, if you please?





It’s a travel case! But this isn’t just any travel case, however. This is a Zero Halliburton Geo aluminum, carry-on, two-wheel travel case that features a textured grip carry handle and durable custom draw bolt latches, because you can never be too careful when traveling, or just when you need a safe place to store all of that cash you stole during your robbery of a local bank.


$775


I will tell you right now that the price of that travel case is $775. Now, you tell me what you think the next digit in the price of that car is. Is it 7 or 5?

[Prizes]

Hooray! And ooh, yes, quite nice prizes thus far indeed. So far, very practical as well. I'll take the 7.

Love me some Tempty, an underrated game in my book. Got 218A on in the background to set the mood.

[Mr. Weatherman]

She is going with 7, and we’ll light that up on the board.



ding


Now, I see we have something else here that every person can use. Randy, please tell us what this is!





It’s $919 in cold, hard cash! This American currency can be spent on virtually any product in the United States that is for sale and of value!


$919


 Is the third number in the price of that car a 9 or a 1?

[Prizes]

Less sure here, as well I should be, but I like the 9 this time. Gosh darn I could use some cash though, for some nice meals out, a sports game or two.

[therealcu2010]

I love how that wad of cash is a single $100 note followed by a crapton of singles.

The Franklin looks totally counterfeit, too. Now I know how Renty's paying for these prizes!

[Mr. Weatherman]

"We get the prizes cheap 'cause they're stolen" - Bob Barker

You seem to be unsure of yourself, but we'll light up that 9 anyway and hope for the best!



ding


And oh boy, would you look at this!




It’s a gumball machine! Spend countless hours rotting your teeth out with the sugary gumballs you receive from this spiral gumball machine by Roadrunner!


$700


I love gum, and I bet you do too, or at least you will when I tell you that gumball machine is worth a whopping $700. Now, is the next number in the price of that Impala a 7 or 0?
