This “Price is Right” Contestant Was So Excited That He Didn’t Realize He Just Lost

12.31.2014 | Matt Fox |

The Price is WRONG, Adam. Unfortunately, this contestant seemed completely unaware of that, as he placed a losing bid on Contestant’s Row…and then proceeded to head towards the stage!

During a classic moment on this week’s The Price is Right, contestant Adam — or, as Gawker has dubbed him, “Excited Dumb Guy” — made for a real clusterbunk of a situation.

First, Linda bid $500. That was followed by Melissa undercutting her with a $499 bid. But it was Adam, who clearly didn’t understand how the game works (or somehow didn’t remember that he had bid $550), who rushed the stage after the item’s value was revealed. It turns out that Linda had been spot-on with her $500 proclamation…but it was already too late.

Behold the hilarity, as Drew Carey nearly kicks poor Adam off the stage…and his fellow contestants laugh at him.
