Recently, a Pittsburgh-area gynecologist named Michael Bummer made it onto The Price Is Right. Bummer, a Steelers fan wearing a Keisel jersey with a homemade DR. BUMMER nameplate, got "called down" to participate in some TPIR fun. When every other contestant bid outrageously high numbers for a necklace, Bummer decided to go the "One Dollar" route...but without the $1.
He went with $69. 15-year-old me is cracking up so hard right now. And it worked, as Bummer's 69 (never thought I'd type that) was the winning bid.
I applaud Bummer's creativity. I also applaud him for using the time-tested 69 joke. It sorta went outta fashion years ago since it became a cliche number to get a cheap laugh, but Bummer perseveres. Kinda like how I'll still watch Beavis and Butthead to this day and laugh harder than I will at any show currently on tv.
Video is below.
PS - Is that black dude in the audience behind Bummer wearing a Batman shirt? That would be sweet.

Yeah, I chuckled when I saw it was a Steelers-colored Jeep. Not sure what went down with this guy in whatever game he played for the Jeep, but there's a video of him in the Showcase Showdown, meaning he killed it on the big wheel. I'm too lazy too see if he won the whole thing

When certified stoners get to "come on down", they usually bid "420" on everything.

I think the best part is Drew Carey laughing his ass off!
