Joseph why 420 & 69 get a really bad rep
The Price Is Right: 2008 It's been an occurance on The Price Is Right over the past 5 years that some contestants find it funny to bid $420 or something 69 on an item, but then after they get it out of the way, they play it straight. Sometimes, I've seen people get lucky with a $420 bid. But its' a completely different thing to hammer it completely into the ground, and make yourself look like a total jackass who's just there in contestants row to get yourself over to your drunken frat buddies back at whatever college they attend. None whatsoever have aggitated me and others to the point of no return like Joseph. Joseph epitomizes what is wrong with Price Is Right contestants today. My firm belief is that he faked having all of this energy and grandeur in the line to Stan Blitz or whomever was picking contestants that day, so that he could get picked to be on the show. Sure enough, all that faking it paid off in spades, as he was the first person to be called down that day.
You could tell he was really excited, but when he got there he settled down, knowing it was time to unleash his master plan. What was the plan, you ask? Well, simply put, it was to get his 15 minutes of fame, or in this case 15 seconds of shame.
The First item up for bids was a treadmill. Usually the first bid sets the pace for the day, and the first bid by Joseph....
$420. Suddenly, every stoner in the world starts to giggle a little bit. That's an easy joke to make on Price is Right. Now, that's the only 420 that he'll make, thankfully. The PIR staff probably didn't want a repeat of what Evan Goding did back in 2006, when he got called on down and kept on bidding $420.
So now we get to the second IUFB and its a banjo. An interesting item, so we turn to Joseph and gives us...
$777. A clever bid, but that all proves to be a ruse to let the Price staff drop their guard once we get to the next IUFB...
A Free-Standing Range. So, what does our intrepid idiot bid....
$1869. Yes, we get it. Supposed to be the euphemism of an 18 year old performing a sexual act. I guess in his pea brain it was stupid, but funny. But alas, it's not the end because everybody went over. And what does he have for an encore bid?
$769. Now it's becoming intolerable. The Stoner Bid + 2 euphemisms for a sexual act = someone just desperate for attention. Now we get to the next IUFB....
A Kitchen Island. Now, We all know Joseph is planning on bidding $1869 again....
But Samuel, the new player, beat him to the punch. I think he said it before Joseph did, because of his look afterwards. So, Joseph had to come up with another plan. And what was his plan...
$2,000,000. Quite possibly what is the single worst bid in the show's history. So, it's pretty much a given that he only is on the show just so he can get his 15 minutes of shame, ridicule and be featured in a Youtube video. Mission succeeded, Jackass. But he's not done, sadly.
We get to Item #5 in a beautiful man's watch. The Price staff is hoping that he's done, but....
One bid of $969, in the most confused voice possible later, and the Price staff had enough. During break they probably gave him a huge tongue lashing about his bids. They told him to knock it the hell off. So, we're down to the last one-bid and mercifully, it's almost over.
The final item is this gem globe, a lovely item, and now we get nasty Joseph giving his final bid...
$1868. This definitely had to have been one last jab at the staff. Thankfully, before he got anymore TV time, he didn't get the prize. So, he was there the entire show and completely pissed off the entire staff while he was there. I don't think he even got one last shot when they did the consolation prize plugs. I doubt he even got any consolation prizes. If he didn't, then that's justice in itself. This guy really irritated me, and pretty much everybody who watched that day because he just wanted to get his 15 minutes of fame, notoriety among other things. He thought this episode would be reran someday, but nope. Afterwards, according to some insiders, the producers marked this episode "NOT FOR RERUNS". Bottom line, he is the WORST price is right contestant there ever was. Even if you get someone who doesn't know any of the games, they will never reach the level of moronic, insipid, jackassiveness that this guy brought to the table. He just wanted to get his 15 minutes of fame, and he got it. So, mission accomplished. Sadly, the contestants haven't gotten much better. Sure there are some good contestants, but they're mainly cancelled out by loons like him. Let's just hope that there are no more like him. Doing one stupid bid is fine, but doing it on and on makes you look more like an ass than anything else. But, I'm not holding my breath. They'll be another one like him soon. But he's definitely the worst. |
