Love that the Price is Right is included as part of the sick day.

It really makes the joke hit home.

Highlight of every sick day.

Did you know Bob Barker is still alive? If he makes it to his birthday (this December) he'll be 100 years old.

The price is wrong, bitch.

Damn, Bob Barker trained as a fighter pilot during WWII and is 1/8 Sioux! He's a lot cooler than I would have thought he was.

I absolutely LOVE your username. We're a big fans of KITH, and that's one of my favorite lines to quote (unless I'm squishing your head 🤏)

Thanks! It was one of my old usernames on reddit and I always regretted deleting that account, so it was nice to be able to use it again here on Lemmy. Only downside is how people usually assume I'm a woman ...

On the Internet no one knows you're a dog.

You just had to say something, didn't you?

oh goddammit...

I purposely checked this for the Price is Right comments. It seems it was a part of everyone's memories of sick days. Awesome.

Yesss, best part about staying home.

What strikes me about these comics is what a difference the choice of words makes.

It's such a simple bit, and pretty much every comic follows a similar bit, but it somehow keeps hitting

Thanks for my new profile pic, Nathan <3

Oh my goodness the Price is Right 😂

I loved Supermarket Sweep too

The peoples Court was always a sick day special for me haha

For me it was Joker's Wild and my secret candy stash. By the end of the day I was always legitimately sick - fortunately Mom never caught on to the fact that I was throwing up chocolate and caramel.

But one can learn by watching The Cost is Correct. I learned what the price of cars were thanks to that show.
