Flip Flop was definitely one of those throwaway games where they just needed something fast and easy that was technically a "game" they could use to get rid of stock they didn't want to have to ship back to the manufacturers.
You don't have to pay taxes on anything but products you buy if you know what you're doing. I haven't paid income tax in ten years. Been audited three times. Just gotta now about tax deductible things and use the constitution. The constitution is IRS kryptonite.
+john smith Just because you find ways to effectively remove your taxable income doesn't mean you "aren't paying taxes" on those items. Those are all things that are taxed. Not having to physically send money doesn't mean they're not taxed. Furthermore, you're not that innovative. Nearly half of this country pays either zero income taxes or an overall net negative in taxes, receiving more money back than they actually pay.
my boss did that. i was working in a chocolate factory and my superviser comes up to me because i was the next one in charge under her. She said she was going to florida to get married and she and another superviser walked out together. I laughed and just assumed she'd come back. 4 hours later I realized she was serious, she literally just left lol.
RIP Bob Barker. Thanks for the years of entertainment. Especially when I would stay home sick from school and be forced to stay on the couch. I'd watch the game shows until noon then take a nap when the soaps came on.
I think deep down Bob understood the guy was nervous and just made the dumbest move possible on national tv so he joked and gave him the prize to keep the show moving with a pleasant resolution.
technically he was going for the right flip flop side or whatever...but then his ADD just kicked in full tilt and everything went to sh**. Pretty dangone hilarious if you ask me!
In addition to what scope said, Roland paid them a fuck ton of money for advertising them and it didn't cost the show a damn penny, may as well let the kid have it. Assuming he is capable of putting up all the tax money prior to getting his prizes.... Which a lot of people aren't, so a ton of the prizes never actually get claimed lol
Yup. that is likely why they gave him the prize anyway. I am guessing if he had just walked up and immediately pressed the button, they would not have.
Yeah and then Bob said, "now there is only one solution to do like at a time like this. We have an emergency back up wheel. It'll take 20 minutes to wheel in but in the meantime we can have all three of you INSTANT winners. However, we'll do an unseen spinoff in the back. That winner will go to the showcase. The other two will just do an unseen showcase. But after the unseen spinoff we'll still have enough time to wheel the back up in afterwards." In back room the guy is not permitted to spin and instantly sent to unseen showcase. The loser of the remaining two goes with him to unseen showcase. UNSEEN SHOWCASE: Guy dumbly presses buttons. He somehow enters the hack code for correct exact price to come up. Bob goes, "No! Not that! You weren't supposed to know that." Bob goes in back recording area, "I need a vacation! I need like a 6 month leave of absence!!! In fact I've got a better idea!!!! I'm giving my 6 month notice!!! That's right!!! I quit!!!!" Goes back up to contests and says, "now there's only one solution to do in a thing like this. I'm giving you both.....both of the showcases!!" Says to other contestant that (s)he will be back. Goes up to guy, "you....I don't want you back on here. You are not to use me as a reference. And if I'm paired up with on a celebrity show, I will not be so charitable to you as I was to Happy Gilmore.....you understand?????" Guy nods smiles weakly, "yes" Bob Barker grabs his arm squeezing it and pushes him in a circle 60 MPH, "now get off the stage" Guy goes crashing into one of his showcases and the organ and knocks himself out cold. Bob Barker mutters, "we're insured. When he wakes up in the hospital we'll just give him the other showcase and make some story up. Along with that we'll pay his hospital bills and give him the all expense paid trip"
That's one of those guys you really don't want to be working in the same facility as. "Ok Billy you can flip the switch or release the gas but whatever you NOOOOO!"
What they didn't say "whilst" a lot back then? Yeah I'm guilty on those charges! In fact it was original Sherlock Holmes I had in mind. And Downton Abby: "Whilst the lord is away from Downton..." I never hear anyone on The Walking Dead or Breaking Bad say "You go that way whilst I take the flank".
Milky Wayan Walter White often uses the correct forms of words like this. "Whom" is another that springs to mind. Just because you're stupid, and ignorant of proper form, doesn't mean we all are. You make yourself look particularly like a fucking idiot when you try and mug someone off for being smarter than you. I hope I kept the syllable count low enough for you to grasp the meaning.
Conclusion: The guy tried to flip the second panel (95), but it didn't flip, so he tried pressing the button - not knowing what it did (hopefully enabling him to flip the 95 though). He was not a cheater because even after he saw the correct price, he can't "correct/change" his answer. The host gave him the prize anyways because he saw that the second panel wouldn't flip - even though the guy had the intentions of doing so. Had the second panel flipped, the price would have been right.
Oddly enough he would've gotten the prize fairly if he had just flipped the one he was gonna flip. I don't blame Bob for flipping out. EDIT: I just now noticed the pun there at the end of my comment. Completely unintentional but very fitting, lol.
He didn't cheat, I don't know what the moral of this story is. Maybe, be a moron and you'll get a prize, but you'll also have an embarrassing video of you on youtube
He didn't wanna take any chances of winning and having to haul that piano home in his Ford Focus and then having to pay taxes on it but Bob was determined to make him suffer.
***** Dude just a heads up this is RU-vid billions of people see your comments if you write something like "is name calling necessary?" and stuff like that your going to be attacked like the beaches of Normandy with name calling so just saying its probably best to just call it quits on this one???
It seems to me like he had every intention to "Flop" anyway, but just wasn't able to spin the tile for some reason. Not too sure why, because clearly Bob was able to do it. Maybe he was trying to spin it horizontally instead of vertically (which honestly would make more sense given what is being done to the numbers... it also may have averted the blooper that occurred later in Oct 2008 with Drew when the panel with the numbers wouldn't stay in its slot) I wouldn't go as far as to call this cheating, but you'd think the first reaction when a prop doesn't seem to be working would be to consult with the host, rather than hit an unlabeled big red button you weren't told what it was for.
Not necessarily. I was thinking the same thing you were, it does look like he meant to push the button to change the numbers when he couldn’t do it manually.
So your theory is that he never watched the show, not even after being selected to participate? He knew exactly what he was doing, that's why he played the crowd.
+Rooster Gentry, how? Bob, said: Turn this over, or turn that over, or turn both over. He never said push the button, he never even mentioned the button.
Bob clearly said "But do not leave it at $4,659". He did, and he should NOT have been awarded the prize. If he flopped the 59 to a 95 and had the price of $4,695, although Bob would be nearly as loud with the NO!, he should have won at that point.
+CryoEX Watch the kid. 1:21 he tries to change the one of the right but it wouldn't go because he was pressing the wrong part of it . In his confussion he presses the button.
And that's why they have since moved that reveal button to the side. To be fair he looked like he wanted to flop the 59 anyway, which would have been correct. And I think that's why Bob gave him the prize.
It wasnt stupid. They gave it to him.because the sign didnt flip like it was suppose to. So he did the next logical thing hit the only button within reach. Also people that call others stupid are usually the stupid ones.
