When you've been on for as long as ''[[The Price Is Right]]'' has, you're bound to get a few [[What an Idiot!|morons]]. Not knowing the "tricks" to the games is excusable enough, but some players go the extra mile and forget [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|what the host just told them]] (which can be chalked up to TV nervousness and the fact that there are [usually] fabulous prizes on the line, but that's not going to stop us from making fun of you here).
'''Note:''' As with the other [[Game Show]] pages in [[What an Idiot!]], some of the following contestants may very well have given these stupid answers ''on purpose'', whereas others earnestly are stumped, don't know the answer to easy questions, or are unable to provide a correct answer due to the pressures of doing well before the camera. That doesn't make them any less stupid, mind you, but instead they become far more worthy of being here.

Line 65:
* January 16, 1997: In the final playing of Split Decision, Jason guessed the dishwasher was $512 '''twice'''. Bob was more surprised that he didn't guess $512 a third time.
* April 4, 1997: A Check Game contestant wrote a check for ''$7,000'', which Bob immediately voided and allowed her to write a new amount. She still lost.
* November 2, 1998: A Make Your Move contestant thought a trip to Guadalajara was $7,082. Bob even [[What the Hell, Player?|chastised the contestant's decision]].
{{quote| '''Bob''': You think the trip is $7,082? Have you ever been to Guadalajara?<br />
'''Contestant''': No, I haven't. }}
Line 74:
* February 15, 2002: A contestant playing It's In The Bag got exactly '''[[Epic Fail|zero]]''' items [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wi2To2VRgA&t=3m0s in their right bags.]
* April 24, 2002: A Ten Chances contestant looked and acted like he wanted to get attention and fame for epically failing.
* November 7, 2002 (Paul Boland announcing): [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE2Ci6YSBy0 A perfect example] of how ''not'' to play Race Game — the contestant took too much time conferring with the audience, rather than [[What the Hell, Player?|pay attention to the game]].
* January 19, 2004: Janice plays One Away for a Pontiac Vibe and guesses ''$37,840'' on her first turn. Bob is shocked that she has only one number right, and she elects to change the price to '''$39,642'''...and loses on the ''first number reveal''. (If you listen carefully, you can hear her group yelling at her.)
* April 6, 2004: An older lady [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8Ev15OTl3c playing] On The Spot loses by guessing that an ice sphere is $30 ''twice''.
