Top 5 "The Price Is Right" Clips

Brian Fairbanks — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 20:35:00 GMT

When we were younger, we couldn't stand The Price Is Right. We've always recoiled violently from advertising and even more so from subliminal advertising and product placement. But when it was announced that Bob Barker would retire and, recently, that the Drew Carey version is going off the air next month, we felt it was time to reconsider America's greatest daytime show.

Barker has always struck us as a heroic common man figure-- a guy who put in 35 years at the same job without complaint (after all, it must have become redundant around year four), did 50 years in show business, and even poked fun at himself at the end of his career in Happy Gilmore instead of resting on his laurels.

It turns out, Barker returned to the set yesterday to film a show airing April 6th in which he co-hosts with Carey and promotes his new, for-charity memoir. In honor of this wonderful man and his charming, charmed life, we present our Five Favorite Moments From the Bob Barker Price Is Right...

5) Hordes of Excited Women Molest Bob Barker. You only need to watch the first fifteen-twenty seconds to remember why Bob Barker quit the show due to his age and serious back injuries. At 2:18, watch as Colonel Sanders pulls the same move. And at 8:15, don't miss Ethel's "dream" about Bob.

4) Tidy cats. We'll never look at our roommate's cat the same way.

3) Nipple slip! A Price Is Right model endures a nipple slip on national television. Wait a minute, this show is live?! (Forunately for the squares running CBS, you can't really see anything with the credits going up.)

2) TIE: A Model and a Gentleman and The Third Time's The Charm. Believe it or not, there were countless on-air marriage proposals during Barker's 35-year run and we weren't able to choose between these two. Try not to choke up a bit here...

1) Cheating Emerson student -- is there any other kind? Bob Barker famously walks off the set and say, "I'm going home." It may not be as powerful as the last couple, but this may have been the most-publicized moment in the entire show's history. Barker rarely got upset with anyone, but this time, you believe it...

You can watch the final minutes of his final show here, by the way.

Sophie Monk Has A KFC Relapse

Sophie Monk, former Baywatch co-star with/protege of animal rights activist Pamela Anderson, has been busted committing the worst kind of celebrity hypocrisy.

This scandal is so monumental, it would be like seeing Michael Jordan leaving a Foot Locker wearing a pair of Reebok's in 1991. Okay, maybe we're joking around, but check this out: Monk posed nude for PETA in 2007 and said:

"I think the message to KFC eaters (is that) you should think about what you're eating. If you're eating deformed animals that are being induced by hormones, you know, it can not be good for you."

Well, Miss Monk, you appear to have fallen off the wagon. What do you say to Kentucky Fried Chickenshits, those who gobble down god-awful-tasting, god-awful-for-you, god-awful-for-the-world meat from their establishment?

Anyway, when we were going back to being carnivores after brief stints as vegetarians, we never, ever have cravings for KFC. Not even now, years later, would we touch that total garbage. So why would Sophie Monk risk the wrath of a batshit crazy and super-vindictive operate like PETA, just for a drumstick?

Sloppy Seconds: Topless Chicks Arrested At KFC

Miss USA fell down during the evening wear competition at the Miss Universe pageant.... for the second year in a row. USA! USA! USA!

A student protester in Iran was beaten, tortured, and imprisoned there after appearing on the cover of The Economist. Two things: People actually read The Economist? And how did the guy get from Iraq to America? The followup doesn't say-- he just escapes from Iran, then makes it to Iraq and... the next thing you know, he's here. Does anyone smell another Bush Administration manipulation here?

Kate Moss, topless on vacation, is apparently trying for the Amy Winehouse-Doing-Kate Moss look these days. Make it stop!

Princess Anne apparently enjoys something called "lighthouse bagging." We read the whole article and still can't get our original idea of what that means out of our heads.

A twenty-eight-year-old female sheriff's deputy has to register as a sex offender in Colorado after getting it on with a prisoner. Who was a man. A man, as in, he was well over the age of 18.

Best spam headlines of the day: "Moulin Splooge," "Tiffany accessories at never before prices," and, from a Capt. Mr. Chidpong: "ASSIST ME OUT OF IRAQ URGENTLY." Good luck, Captain, but I think George Bush wants you there until we die of old age.

And then this:

The topless women from animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) were arrested on Monday afternoon while protesting outside the CBD restaurant over KFC's alleged treatment of chickens in factories and slaughterhouses.

The women - naked apart from lacy, yellow bikini bottoms - were inside a large cage, holding signs that read "Chicks Agree: Boycott KFC".
One of the protesters claimed they were "roughly-handled" by police...

Not that we're condoning police brutality, but is anyone surprised that a bunch of cops manhandled (what a sexist term) a bunch of naked activists?
