Hemming and hawing is nothing new when it comes to The Price is Right Showcase Showdown. Some folks take such a long time to decide on their final bid, the host — in this case Drew Carey — is forced to gently hurry them up so that they may squeeze in some sweet, sweet ad time.

But today, a first: Our contestant Michael, proudly sporting a Batman t-shirt, turns to his mother in the audience for help. And continues asking her for guidance well into the signature Price is Right “Wrap It Up” music. And in the end? His Mom pretty much screws him over. Check out the video, and don’t act surprised when the camera cuts to Michael comically strangling his mother in front of the Plinko board.
