Out of bounds (price is right)

Out of bounds sound from The Price Is Right game show, used for a wrong guess, overshot price, failed attempt or awkward miss in edits and memes.

This is the out of bounds cue from The Price Is Right, the sharp game show signal that a guess has missed the mark. It lands with a blunt, buzzy finality that instantly reads as too far, too much, or just plain wrong. The short burst cuts through dialogue and music, so the mistake feels official rather than accidental. Viewers recognise the tone from decades of pricing games, which gives the joke extra weight. Dropped into a clip, it turns a small error into a televised failure and lets the audience laugh at the exact moment everything goes off track.
