'''That's Too Much!''' is a [[List of The Price Is Right pricing games|pricing game]] on the [[United States|American]] [[television]] [[game show]] ''[[The Price Is Right (U.S. game show)|The Price Is Right]]''. Created by [[Roger Dobkowitz]], the game debuted on April 19, 2001 and is played for a car. |

==Gameplay== |
|||
An ascending order of ten prices is concealed on the gameboard, but none of these prices are the exact price of the car. One by one the prices are revealed from left to right, and the contestant is asked to shout "That's too much!" when the ''first'' price larger than the price of the car is shown. If the contestant stops at any other time, the game is lost. |
|||
Former host [[Bob Barker]] usually asked the contestant to demonstrate shouting "That's too much!" before the game began. If a contestant happened to be a member of the military, for example, Barker may have asked them to shout it "like a [[drill instructor|drill sergeant]]." Particularly unenthusiastic attempts, such as not using the phrase word-for-word or not being loud enough, usually resulted in admonishment from Barker and booing from the audience. |
|||
[[Drew Carey]], on the other hand, does not emphasize the shouting, but still requires the phrase be used to stop the game. If the contestant forgets the phrase, he will usually point at the name of the game to alert the contestant of the proper method. While Carey has hosted the show, he has allowed the contestant to retract their proclamation of "That's too much!", but Barker would accept their original statement as final. |
