Someone on TikTok said, "He got as close as he could without going over."

[–] steinbring@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I thought that he had passed, a while ago. 99 years is a good run.

Spay and neuter, folks!

Spaying and neutering folks would solve a lot of problems.

99; I'd call that closest without going over.

[–] Hyperi0n@lemmy.film 3 points 1 year ago

Yes we all seen the other comments.

Ooof, this hit me right in the childhood.

This is one of those chapter-turning public figure deaths for me. The last one was Betty White, and before that was Robin Williams — almost mythical figures whose names and faces I'd known since before I can remember, who it almost felt like would just always be around.

RIP, Bob. You've earned it.

I shall spay and neuter my pets in honor of Bob Barker.

[–] anon6789@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago

I feel this is one of those things that is the end of an era. The Price is Right with Bob Barker always reminds me of afternoons at my grandparents' house, and I'm sure it does for a lot of people in my age bracket. He also seemed to be a genuinely nice person. It was always good to hear her was still alive and doing things, and it helped keep that little slice of childhood alive.

The price is wrong, Bitch!

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

What an amazing long life. We should all be so lucky. RIP

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago

Damn... I was rooting for him to get the whole $1.00

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least we still have Drew Carey, right?

...

(cries bitter tears)

I can't be the only one who thought he'd already passed?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I thought he died a couple years after leaving the show. I'm happy that he lived long enough to actually enjoy his retirement.
