Some pricing games are retired now, but we can all agree on one thing. Plinko will never retire.
I haven’t seen plinko be played in years. I think they might of gotten rid of it or only bring it out for special shows like the million dollar one they do.
@@rockslime it’s still played frequently
In fact this game inspired NBC’s The Wall
It may not be retired... however it has been replaced as the big money winner and Pay the Rent proves over and over again why it is better than Plinko
And it NEVER should!!!!!😎❤
The upbeat music, the bright cheerful backgrounds of the seventies, The Price is Right is just a time capsule of American game show intrigue. This is a visual anti-depressant.
this clip was in 1983
@@witherblaze Obviously, but the design language on the sets, music and color choices are extremely reminiscent of the era when TPiR first began airing. Even now there's those six petal flower designs and bright sparkly sets that would look downright out of antiquity today, even if they technically are newly made.
Who cares
@@BeardedDragonMan1997 the guy who made this comment, clearly, and many people called graphic designers
Add the 80’s to that list. 💯
Bob Barker is literally one of the best game show hosts ever.
Probably the best, the others would agree
his voice takes me back to spending time over my grandparents house playing with my toys on the carpet while grandma and grandpa watched this game show. the music, the sounds, the cheering, the buzzer, Bob's voice.... all in my brain, and ill always associate it with happy memories
Yeah, they definitely raised the bar to high with Bob. He was the best.
And to think he nailed most of those prize models 😂😂
I was in elementary school when this aired. I remember I would pretend to be sick sometimes so I could stay home and watch the price is right. What fond memories.
I was 16 then in HS. Such a great show and the 80's were the best times. :)
I would have been 5 at the time. But I grew up with The Price is Right, and loved every minute of it. But we also had High Rollers, Press Your Luck, $10,000 Pyramid, Tic-Tac-Dough, Family Feud and Monty Hall's Let's Make a Deal, just to name a few wonderful game shows we watched every single day growing up. I really miss the good ol' days. But that's why I have my Atari, Commodore 64 Maxi, and Sega Genesis, so that I can go back to those times and really enjoy myself.
Same
I’d do the same. Price is right and jeopardy when it was on daytime. Art Fleming hosted jeopardy. Back then
Lol. Price is right was the best part of morning tv as a sick kid. 100%
"Plinko is a hit." That statement has aged _quite_ well.
It definitely has!
@@TPIRBarker 1983 was a great year on The Price Is Right on CBS.
You forgot the s. Stinko is a s***
@@TPIRBarker Aged like fine wine. To Frank Wayne somewhere out there...TPIR fans thank you.
@@Naminski1a this game actually in December of 1982 (tapewise)
Barbara's face when Judy won with her $1 bid over her 🤣🤣
Lol, I saw that too
It is, famously, a B move.
I bet she seethed about that for the rest of her days
😂
if she could have stabbed her, she would have
RIP BOB BARKER The greatest host ever Will forever be missed
The sound of the Plinko chips clicking and clacking their way down the board is like ASMR to me, so nostalgic, so soothing
But when the board had a new look around 1991 or 1992, the sound of the chips was much different.
So true!👍
Bob Barker the best game show host ever, bar none. “ Help Control the Pet Population, have your Pet spayed or neutered “ Priceless
Amen, brother! Drew can't even hold a candle to the great Bob Barker....period!
Siaissexkait🥰😍😍😍🥰🥰💜💜💙💙🤍🤍🖤🖤🥮
@@tiffanymorgan6562 the only game show host that could hold a candle to Bob Barker is Gene Rayburn. The Price is Right and Match Game are the greatest game shows of all time
@@danbaranowski and wheel and family feud. Jeopardy is good sometimes too
@@danbaranowski I might mean Jeopardry was good, we all miss Alex
I am so glad Pluto TV has the rights to the Barker-era shows. This was always Bob's show and it's just thrilling to be able to watch these episodes again (and feel like a kid again as well!).
Well Pluto TV IS Owned By ViacomCBS, (The Owner Of The Price Is Right)
CBS>>>>>>PARAMOUNT>>>>>>PLUTO TV. THATS HOW THAT WORKS LOL.
@@Wizardof - what he's trying to say is that fortunately Paramount (the maiden company of CBS nowadays) put these full shows so conveniently and easily available on their extensive FREE STREAMER (maybe because they're TOO OLD to put on the PAYWALL of Paramount +, but at least is still better than most shows you could see nowadays on broadcast or cable / satellite).
@@syxepop The Illuminati don't want people to be reminded how good times those were and how bad things are now, so they make these wholesome things hard to find. Like Boomerang cartoon channel. We not allowed to see the good stuff.😤😤😤😂
Thanks 4 the info!👍👍👍👍
And Plinko is still played to this day.
Indeed👍
So true
I love it too, and now the biggest prize is even bigger!! 😍
My favorite game was Cliffhanger. I don't watch TPIR anymore. Haven't seen Cliffhanger since Bob Barker was hosting.
l stick watch the price is right
I think if a poll was taken, Plinko would overwhelmingly be the most popular TPIR game of all time. And really, there's no plausible strategy in it, just pure luck and fun.
And the name is catchy.
But it’s the most difficult pricing game to win the max money.
There certainly is a strategy to give yourself the best chance. This strategy is to put the puck in the center of the board as about 22% of the time the puck will end up in the slot straight below where it is dropped. Then about 19% of the time it will be one slot to either side of where it is dropped or 38% it lands in either of these two spots. 12% chance the puck lands 2 slots away 24% it lands in either of these. 6% 3 slots away 12% either, and 4 slots away is about one percent. So there is a strategy to have the best chance to win big. But those odds still aren't great. To hit the max prize 5 times with optimum strategy your odds are less than 1 in 3000. So while the puck in the center gives the best chance to hit the largest amount, There is a 78% chance you will miss it and a 38% chance you land in a 0 space. The odds that this lady's puck would travel that far across the board on her second drop when she placed it that far left are incredibly low. But part of this was because she dropped the puck from so high, it hit the first peg and had a lot of speed to shoot to the right. Hold the puck as low as they will allow in the center of the board to give the best chance.
It gets stuck on a peg very infrequently. I’d say so since this was the first time they ever used this game lol
It's up there with Cliffhanger in my opinion
Now Plinko has a chance for a contestant to win up to $100K. I still go crazy for Plinko.
It's $50,000
Plinko: daytime: $50,000 MDS: $100,000 or $1,000,000 Big money week: Has started with $500,000 but now it's $1,000,000
@aDg 2k18 Let's hope for it. But, if the MDS comming back, how much you want it to be for the primetime show ? $100,000 with 5 plinko chips & $1,000,000 with 6 plinko chips.
Nobody ever does. You would think it would happen just one time.
I was just at a casino in Oklahoma that had a big plinko board, but appeared they only did it during weekends or events. I also use top work for a dealership that had a plinko board to determine your discount on the car
For that day forward, Plinko became, arguably, the most favorite game of all time for everyone. :-)
yes i got a plinko scratch ticket for 1st time n won 20$
I miss Superball.
It was so cool to see her get the highest amount you can get with a single chip at that time in its debut.
What’s up
They couldn’t have planned it better! Made me wonder if there were somehow magnets in the back guiding it lol this debut was made for tv!
The only thing better was the debut of the showcase showdown wheel. After the show went to a full hour, they debuted the wheel (which at the time looked more like a carnival wheel). The rules were generally the same minus the green sections for the bonus spin. The first spin was $1.00 on the nose.
kzhead.info/sun/ecNmlK5-nHx7gWw/bejne.html @15:45
IIRC when they debuted the "Hot Seat" stage game, their first contestant got the jackpot there, too.
My Nana and I watched Bob every day. I remember this episode because I thought how lucky I was to see the debut of a new game. My Nana has been gone 25 years, but this is a cherished memory.
Plinko was the greatest Price Is Right pricing game ever and also, all I hear is the Grand Game music.
Never was
That was for only the first playing.
Wow. It’s the only episode that after he announced plinko the audience didn’t go wild lol. Now it’s a favorite game. That and hole in 1 (or two)
Not my favorite
It was so weird when they revealed the board and the audience was dead silent...last time that ever happened lol
I think people kinda freak out now when they see Golden Road revealed as the game because that usually means the end prize is going to be something insane like a $80,000 Porche Boxster or $100,000 Viper ;)
Plinko is my all-time favorite Price is Right game. Cool to see it's debut from 1983. This game is older than I am 😂
Guy on today’s show, wearing a Plinko shirt, won and the got to play Plinko😂
"Some of our people drink." XD Well, if the creativity is that high, let me drink what they drank!
😄😄😄
Little did Bob know.........
Fun fact: those same golf clubs are now worth $2,700 roughly adjusted for inflation
Love it !!!
Shoulda named it Drinko
This game became legendary.
"Rest in peace mark-goodson bill-todman johnny-oleson & rod-roddy you'll be missed by everyone always & forever amen".
Yeah, Rod Roddy added some extra zing when he would announce that Plinko was the game the contestant would be playing. I remember being happy whenever that would come up.
Bob, rest in peace. You’re the OG of TPIR.
Plinko and Bob Barker, are a hit. Legend.
What's interesting is that Plinko is pretty much a perfect model of life as a human.
The only thing is life as a human always lands at zero
The plink or the drink? 😉
Well that's a pretty nihilistic view... Guess I'll keep plinkin' and drinkin' :D
Say what?
Like how neurons work
I will be honest, i always look for Plinko game each day i watch tv as a kid
Miss our Bob a whole lot! No one will ever top him. Lively to see the debut of this wonderful game of Plinko! Thank you
Drew Bledsoe
Drew has done an admirable job, BUT Bob was legendary and smooth as silk, witty, funny and OBVIOUSLY handsome. Even though I am Male, you can tell he's got that look the ladies enjoy looking at 😂😂
Plinko was always my favorite game to watch from childhood.
Bob Barker was so charming and the greatest game show host. The games were just half the show. Bobs interactions with the contestants was the other part. Snow and sick days from school I always watched
Last year 2021 an entire episode aired with Plinko being the star of the show. It was fantastic! Everyone loved it.
Man, the sound queues in this video are so beautiful this morning. Some of the best quality I've encountered on the internet.
Long before they had contestants coming on the show wearing a plinko shirt.
Finally, the complete playing in SUPERB quality!
Glad you like it!
Happy 97th birthday, Bob!
almost to 100
@@retroguy1976 But he's allowed to go over!
if lord willing
40 years later and Plinko is still 🐐
Love Plinko---but Cliff Hanger is the best can't beat that yodelling!! And Bob is the greatest gameshow host ever to grace our TV sets!!
Cliffhanger was my favorite
The 1980s Price Is Right was the best ever and Bob Barker and Rod Roddy were the best combinations ever. You can't replace them if you tried. The stage lights and colors, audience was so perfect, and music was so spectacular. Some of the contestants were so funny.
Johnny Olsen!!!!!!!!
The only thing I would add-change would be the snazzy colorful suits from when Bob was older. I was a real fan of that blue suit with red tie that really glowed under stage lights.
@@stacynels4Yes Johnny was the king of Goodson Todman announcers
This game is even tougher when you're trying to guess what the price was 40 years ago haha,
I actually smiled and got excited for her after all these years. And Bob actually seemed excited
Also, does anyone notice the Score display on the side of the board apparently was not working on the first playing?
Yes I noticed that too.
Probably forgot to plug it in. Lol
This show is as old as me but it’s still as exciting as ever!!! And Bob is such an excellent host
Plinko was always my favorite game from The Price Is Right so this is cool to see its debut 🙂
8:00 "I could use that so much!" Wow, that made me feel even happier for her. I hope it made a difference in her life!
Plinko is one of the main reasons why I watched the Price Is Right
This was always my favourite game as a little boy in the 1980’s
3:12 Plink plink plink plink... Some of our people drink. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😘
@@errolvenoaks1880 eyyo sus bro
"Oh it's terrific!!" "The consensus is that Plinko is a hit!" Forty years later, in 2023, Plinko is still the #1 favorite game on the Price is Right!
I watched Price is Right in 1983 at Grandma's, when I was sick... oh memories!
Almost 40 years going and Plinko is still "Terrific!"
Syndication offered this pricing game in September 1985, and ended in January 1995.
So happy for her! Last disc and she was the first to play AND win the first $5000. Pure happiness
And, thus, the legend was born.
It's still a thrilling game to watch!
@@TPIRBarker Hi do you see me?
As Al McCoy would say when she got the $5k "SHAZAM". Go Suns! & Damn that may have been the quickest like I've ever gotten: < 5 mins O_o
I wonder what Judy is up to nowadays, and what she did with her $6,500. She seems like a nice person, I was happy to see her win a decent amount of money for 1983.
not to get dark or anything but she may be dead...
$6500 in 1983 is over $17,000 today. She easily could've bought a car with that.
Well, unlike many of the other contestants, she wasn't beset with a huge tax bill for prizes she didn't need!
@@JojoCraft3 That's the downside to watching a lot of these videos, that many of the people are deceased or rather old.
She is probably in her upper 80s or low 90s (if she is still alive), since this aired 38 years ago and she looked to be in her upper 40s or low 50s when she played Plinko.
Plinko needs it's own half hour tv show.
We had a Whole Plinko only episode, what more do you want?!
It's interesting they addressed the "stuck chip" on the game's debut. Bob was truly proud to show off his Plinko Stick. If it wasn't nearly impossible to rig this game I'd say that last drop was rigged for the hype... But even if it was rigged, it got me excited for someone who'd already won 40 (!) years ago, so it worked.
Classic game! Great to see the debut!
I question why the first chip wasn't removed. You'd think that the second chip could have bounced off of the peg and landed in the $1,000 slot. Instead it hit square onto the first chip.
The lady who bid $650 was clearly not amused.
Contestants were screwing each other even back then.
you can see her at 2:03....her face....lol
She went to her grave cursing Judy.
She was not a happy camper.
@@joeheid4757 it's not really fair to say "screwing each other." It's a legitimate strategy.
Sure miss Bob Barker. Loved watching him when I was growing up. Just can’t be replaced.
Drew is a fake.
Oh this brought back memories. Mama loved the Price is Right with Barker
Aww, she was so sweet! I was so happy to see her hit that $5000 spot. 🙂
Plinko is the best game EVER on the Price is Right.
Plinko was always my favourite 😀
I was born 4 years later. One of my first memories is watching this as my grandma making pancakes and watching TPIR. Whenever Plinko came up, I ran to the big, enormous 38" TV (lol) It was MY game! It transfixed me
My favorite thing to watch when home from school sick. Never missed it!
Bob Barker...they just don't make em like that anymore. He is a class act.
I love the way the camera zooms out when Bob Barker comes out on stage
This was a year before I was born. I love to see what crowds looked like back then.
Bob Barker was the best at what he did. Lord, I miss him.
Such a feel-good game show.
$25,000 in 1983 is over $66,000 in 2021, adjusted for inflation. This lady won $6500, which is around $17K today.
About half to taxes.
Yep, and the plinko game hasn't kept up with inflation.
Hence why the game is up to a $50,000 maximum prize today
Give me a big Bob Barker smile now he's the king of The Price is Right good ol Days git-r-done
Bob was the best... the ladies rocked and the show was spectacular!

Bob Barker's character and integrity is second to none. Ive been a fan my whole life im now 50 years old.
Glad to see that the big value was hit in the game's debut.
Exactly 2 months, 3 weeks and 1 day after I was born. I am older, but Plinko is timeless.
So wholesome. This show exists to simply give people money.
Gotta be the first and only time "Let's play Plinko" was followed by crickets.
Ah, Plinko. One of my favorite pricing games on The Price is Right.
Until I came across this video I never knew that they had been playing Plinko this long 38 years happy anniversary PLINKO.
I can’t believe how excited I am for this woman from the past lol. That’s what THE PRICE IS RIGHT does to you.
The price on those golf clubs in 1983 is equal to $2680 now. Those are some goddam expensive clubs.
_LOVED_ watching *TPIR* with *Bob Barker* & his beauties,...as a kid, when I was home, sick, from school! Such wonderful memories from yesteryear! #gonearethedays
Bob is the greatest TPIR host ever and can never be replaced.
Bob also uses the "plinko stick" to crack heads when the contestants act up.
Easily the best game in TPIR history. Not even close.
My favorite price is right game of all time. My second favorite that started well after Plinko is Pay the Rent.
They have a channel on youtube and Pluto what a great time to be alive !
Pedro....You're going to play for up to $50,000....I would jump with excitement if i ever get on TPIR and play that game.
And Plinko has been a hit for 40 years. Happy 40th Anniversary to Plinko.
Imagine being the FIRST Plinko player. She'll be legend forever.
I never watched a lot of game shows, but this guy was my favourite!!!!!! Loved Bob Barker!!
The NationalGame of ThePriceIsRight #PLINKO 👍😊✨💵
True! It really is!
And the rest is history.
The best part of 1983 is the fact that I was 16 years old. Probably playing hooky from school & watching TPIR!
cant wait to celebrate bob's 100th birthday! best game show host ever
Can you post the debut of cliffhangers?
@Anthony Guarino Cliffhangers was introduced on The Price Is Right on CBS in 1976.
@Anthony Guarino I just wanna see the full cliffhanger debut
snow days, days home sick from school, summer vacation. Bob Barker and the Price is Right was a huge part of that. Great memories . Makes me a little sad to go back to a wonderful time in life when this show was just part of our lives and not a memory.
Aw man.. it's crazy the nostalgia that brings me just thinking about the price is right during summer vacation as a kid. It makes me really sad though because here I am about to be 30 this year & I'd do anything to just go back.
@@Gameboy-Unboxings I feel that. I'm 55 now and i was in Grade 9 when this episode aired January 1983. The wishing to go back gets worse as you age and the longing for it becomes so strong because so much changes. All of a sudden, at my age at least, it hits me how many people in my life have passed away. Aunts, Uncles, highschool friends, parents. The world's' a lonely place and the older you get the lonelier it becomes.
I was just a kid, my grandparents watched this show all the time when we visited. Plinko was always my favorite to watch
Happy 40th, Plinko!
still their best game to this day !
