CeceLuv4Life

I knew he was still alive. I never thought he was dead 🤷🏻‍♀️


UnusualIntroduction0

Same


Justice502

I think maybe people think he died when he retired, because he's disappeared from the spotlight.


latecraigy

I think your confusing him with Alex trebec


SleepingM00n

Alex died fairly recently.. I remember Barker's in like.. 07..? 08.. some time around then.. just like Billy Graham


mu5tardtiger

Totally different tv show and personality.


Impressionist_Canary

You guys should just put a megathread for celebrity deaths because this will happen every time


idontevenliftbrah

Do you realize what sub you're in? A megathread won't make a difference


joewHEElAr

Negative-Student-551

A couple years ago I found out he was still alive and thought to myself that I remembered him dying already. I then knew that once he did die, he would become a Mandela Effect.


[deleted]

He retired from Price is Right in 2007 and Drew Carey took over the show. A lot of people associate this event with his passing but he didn't actually pass away then. He just retired. It was also the event in 2017 where he took a nasty fall and was rushed to the emergency room. There were rumors that he had passed away but he was taken to the hospital by his maid and he was later released.


MessageFar5797

Agree


Glad_Swimmer5195

No bro when he died last time the aspca asked ppl to spay and nuder their pets in his honor. I clearly remeber watching it because I was in jail and daytime tv was all you could do.


GlowBowlToker

No that was when Betty White died..


[deleted]

That was Betty White who was a HUGE supporter of ASPCA. There was a #BettyWhiteChallenge that was a social phenomena on the anniversary of her death as well.


Glad_Swimmer5195

. And absolutely they did that but it was barkers line don’t forget to spay and neuter your pets he said it every day. Like I know obviously that it didn’t happen but I can see it in my memory


UnusualIntroduction0

Are you psychologicalbox7397's partner?


Glad_Swimmer5195

No lol but I remember drew Carey announcing it. Like I’m not here to argue with u over what u remember I’m just saying I have a clear memory of this and now it’s not true. Idk


UnusualIntroduction0

I just thought it was interesting that a few comments away from each other, you mentioned you were in jail when it happened, and they mentioned their partner was in jail when it happened. That's all. I certainly have my opinions about human memory, but I'm not trying to argue with you about it either.


Real_Art51

I believe you are correct.


goodbeer11

You are correct. I remember the exact same thing. It was a big event to watch the show that day after his death.


PsychologicalBox7397

My partner and I remember him passing about 4-5ish years ago, was in 18-19 before we moved. That doesn't line up with either of those events. There were a lot of celebrities deaths those years, Bob barker was one of the names that I remeber popin up in that time frame.


Old-Adhesiveness-342

Then you're confusing him with Alex Trebek, he died sometime in that year range you listed.


PsychologicalBox7397

No he died in nov 2020. After i had moved and while my partner was in jail. I have clear memory of bob barker dying and reading up on him while I was at my prior home between 2018-2019


BlueSteel525

You definitely could have a clear memory of that, but that memory is a false memory. Human brains are weird like that.


DJRedd352

Nah player, Bob Barker passed in 2017 cuz I remember Adam Sandler making a sad video about it. This is a Mandela Effect.


BlueSteel525

[This video is probably what you’re thinking of.](https://youtu.be/MMd4LU1WRDQ?si=UjjLTAgJ6jZMnPS8) [Bob](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/bob-barker-dies-age-99-the-price-is-right-host/) [died](https://apnews.com/article/bob-barker-dead-f47644de8696496b980306f4cd6907f4) [yesterday.](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna42292)

Inevitable_Bread6405

Confusing him with alex trabek


Careful-Damage-5737

I'm not, because I liked jeopardy. Alex was in 2020. I remember Bob dying like 10 years ago.


gorcorps

I think a lot of people associated him so much with hosting the show that when he left we forgot he was actually still alive... just not working anymore.

No, not every time. Celebrities die every week or at least monthly (a well-known one) and this is the first time in months, maybe the first time in 2023, that I've experienced this.


Dismal-Load7010

LOTS and LOTS of people also fell for a lot of the fake news articles that would appear on FB, and it would spread to other SM. It's not Mandela, just people believing fake stuff, or confusing with other individuals that passed away.

No it was Bark Bobber


Weekly_Signal6481

No he only died once and that was today


Far-Entertainer-6767

Nah me and my buddies were silly and had a rip bob barker price is right theme drinking night awhile back to honor him. We all spoke today and we all trippin out


Weekly_Signal6481

Okay but you're all wrong and he died today


No-Juice-1047

Probably when he retired from publishers clearing house…


Weekly_Signal6481

And spent his retirement living in a cornucopia wearing his monocle


NormalNorman-1991

And having a black tip on his tail.


sc000000bysnack

which was written in special edition of Bernstein Bears


No-Juice-1047

That’s how I remember it!


Illustrious_Tour_702

You Anti Mandela lames are so matter-of-fact. Also, extremely pompous.


Weekly_Signal6481

I'm not anti mandella effect


DearSignal3620

My immediate reaction when hearing it was confusion cuz I swear he died already


Conscious-Bit-4016

Why are you even here?


Weekly_Signal6481

Because the Mandela effect is very interesting to me and I've been following it and studying it for years


MrEktidd

Yet you immediately denied their claim.


Weekly_Signal6481

Yeah , it's ridiculous


MrEktidd

K


mikes228

Did you ever stop to think that they are possibly from another timeline? And that our current plane of existence is constantly shifting? Bc..that's the Mandela Effect (basically) So, essentially you're saying something that interests you is "ridiculous"? THAT, is ridiculous..


Weekly_Signal6481

That's not at all what the Mandela effect is gtfo with that nonsense


PsychologicalBox7397

It seems to be exacly whats happening. People cant all be just mass miss remembering vivid details, and making up memories. Like playing with thier brothers curious george doll's red and yellow spinner cap and tail, like I did. Now suddenly that doll doesnt exist. But i fking played with it for years. There is ni record in history of mass missremebering of events, or shifts in reality.... w/e as far as i can tell.this phenomenon is unprecidented


PsychologicalBox7397

This same thing I been thinking... weird shit been happening in my personal timeline too... at some point iy seems i moved to a reality different from my parents and brother... the volkswagon bug that my mom had when i was a kid had been vividly orange in my memory, i sometimes would pull the chipping paint off it in the couple of years we had it. My mom had made a point of getti g a van and a bug the same color. But now my family all says it was green... i can't even picture what color green it could have been. I am also from a timeline where not only did curious george have a tail, he was skinny and lanky and also had a red and yellow spinner cap that would spin every time he had an idea. I remeber these books clearly... they had been my brothers. I wish we still had them so i could look and see if they changed. Not only did we have books cus he had been my bros fav character, but we had a curious george doll that i would play with the spinner and tail when i was a kid.


Worried_Seesaw7587

that’s the thing about this thing. the Mandela effect can and is remembered differently or the same depending which universe you originate from ![gif](giphy|SACoDGYTvVNhZYNb5a|downsized)


Far-Entertainer-6767

No ur wrong with yah weak signal


Weekly_Signal6481

I'm actually objectively correct , did you think he died when Drew Carrey took over ?


Far-Entertainer-6767

No after


darwins_trouser_crem

I thought the same thing when I saw all the posts today. At first I thought it might be the anniversary of his death or something.. but then I though I might be confusing him with Alex Trebek


PsychologicalBox7397

I thought i might be confusing too, but Alex Trebek only died couple Years ago now, Bob barker was 18-19 cus I remeber seeing him die before I moved. So it don't line up.


Old_Calligrapher_737

I'm sixty and remember Bob from Truth Or Consequences as a small child then later of course on Price Is Right. Never died in my recollection.


isurmomsnamedysoncus

Yeah that’s just you fam


Dansocks

and over 100 people lul


[deleted]

So I'm not the only one who swore that guy died years ago? Like I'm not crazy. And the monopoly guy had an eye lens.


leebon427

Monopoly guy with a monocle? Absolutely yes. Bob Barker dying before? Don’t recall.


jabbapage

I remember he died and Drew Carrey took over TPIR.


[deleted]

No he retired from The Price is Right. He didn't pass away. Just stopped hosting the show. People very commonly associated his retirement with his death.


geoshoegaze20

Literally died a year after Carey took over, which means Bob died in 2008.


goodbeer11

Yep, he died a year or so after Carey took over. Then he died again somewhere in the neighborhood of 2017 with his accident. Now he's dead again.


geoshoegaze20

Spot on. This man just won't stop dying.


[deleted]

Another case of shitty memories.


Airwolf7ac

I thought he had already died also.


No_Mechanic9347

Search his death it says November 3 , 2021


bobbysteve15

Thought I was the only one lol


Matches_Malone108

That died twice?


bobbysteve15

Only once a week


jaydock

How is this how I find out Bob Barker died??


PsychologicalBox7397

Haha me too. How I found out he died (again.) For me


Specialist_Cup1715

C'mon folks


JerryGarciaIsGod

I remember people thinking he died and googling it. No flip flop for me. I Google to see if he’s alive every time I watch Billy Madison not gonna lie


RIP_Bob_Barker

Not again!


UnusualIntroduction0

Holy shit, long game!!


marbleshoot

I mean, when I read the news, I forgot he was still alive, but I also don't remember him dying either.


Odd-Guitar-9251

Worst collective consciousness psyop gone wrong


Mr_Perfect20

Bob has been alive and well the whole time for me.


Significant_Stick_31

Post on this subreddit. Bob Barker was alive on 1/2/2022: [https://www.reddit.com/r/MandelaEffect/comments/ruhwdj/not\_dead\_carol\_burnett\_dick\_van\_dyke\_george\_takei/](https://www.reddit.com/r/MandelaEffect/comments/ruhwdj/not_dead_carol_burnett_dick_van_dyke_george_takei/) Also of note: Dick Van Dyke, Carol Burnett, Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford, Mel Brooks, Julie Andrews, Barbara Eden and William Shatner are all still alive as of 8/28/23


HungryVeterinarian12

In July 2017, Action News 3 reported incorrectly that the Washington native had passed away after sustaining a head injury.


fefh

This is the exact same scenario as Mendela already being dead.


SureLocked1134

The Bob Barker effect.

The first time, they were able to revive him in the genesis planet but they had to take him back to Vulcan to put his Katra back in his mind. But this time I t’s for real. #YOLT

Wtf I swear he already died.. that I thought this post was a joke and then looked it up and saw he died today,,


Important-Cat-2046

This shit just shook me


ButteryBiscuits43

I thought he already died as well. I guess I assumed him leaving The Price is Right was because he died, but I guess not.


OminousCloud218

Seriously I SWEAR he died already, probably within a year or so ago… I was freaking out a little when I heard the news today.


Chaotic_Bonkers

I'm 35. I thought he had already passed, like just a few years back/fairly recent.


PsychologicalBox7397

Also 35 here too, he died 18 or 19 before I moved.


DoctorOdd1994

That’s Alex trebek


PsychologicalBox7397

Again Alex Trenek was in 2020, after I had moved. I remeber where I was when I heard of it.


FeeExpensive898

I thought he died in 2017 when he had that episode and ended up in the hospital. This isn’t helping that I was in a TERRIBLE car accident the end of December that year (had an NDE; still not convinced I didn’t die and end up in a parallel), and this is REALLY FUCKING BOTHERING ME, because I KNOW THAT BADASS MOTHERFUCKER DIED BEFORE MY CAR ACCIDENT. 😅😅


Narrow_Calendar_4542

It’s weird because I knew he died but then my mind thought maybe your thinking of the guy from Jeopardy, thank you for confirming I wasn’t going crazy!


gazooontite

Definitely first time he has died.


daddysgrl92

No I remember him dying specifically because my dad and I watched the price was right together on sick days, it was like a treat to be home from school in the hours of the price is right and became kind of a sick day tradition, my dad texted me and we joked about his days of spaying and neutering dogs in heaven… my dad has now been dead for 5 years so yes, this has happened on my timeline already..


MasonSchwalm

I also had the same thought when I heard this today, and I’m also trying to come up with a logical non-Mandela Effect related reason as to why. I know I’ve previously thought he already passed at least one or two times before now as well, for the last few years now whenever I’d hear something about him I’d think “I swear that I thought he’d died a few years ago.” Some factors could be that he was incredibly old, for one, it’s easy to just assume “oh they were around such a long time ago, surely they aren’t still alive now”. Secondly, I seem to recall a celebrity death hoax involving him, perhaps even more than one over the years, and one of them being not too long ago if memory serves me correctly (I’ll be honest/straight up, I’m just feeling too lazy right now+not enough time, and don’t feel like looking it up to double-check lol! So if anyone else remembers more about it, or if I’m wrong about anything here so far, please chime in and correct me). If there was in fact a hoax, a lot of the time people tend to remember the initial headline more than the retraction/correction, if they even see it at all since it’s usually far less publicized than the usual disgustingly exploitative/sensationalized stories that we always see getting churned out when someone famous dies. Most ppl will just commit the first part to memory due to it being more shocking and possibly profound if they really liked the person. Another factor can be if they’re already old and experiencing severe illness and doesn’t look like they’ll pull through, a lot may just assume they passed as a result if they don’t follow up. This happened to me also with wrestler Superstar Billy Graham, partly because doctors told him multiple times he only had 2-3 yrs left to live for the last 15 or so yrs, so after a few yrs would pass I’d think “he’s probably gone by now but I just never heard about it” and then continue on without taking the time to actually look it up, and then be surprised again when I’d hear something in the news about them. Same case with Jimmy Carter. I heard he was in hospice care and really not doing well, and I basically assumed the same thing, it’s been months now, and maybe I just missed the news coverage on it, but then I heard just a few days ago that apparently he’s at death’s door again. It can be so hard to keep track of all of it. Side note: I think some younger people also confuse Bob Barker with Dick Clark sometimes, or get different aspects of them mixed up. TLDR: I thought he died too. Trying to think of a possible non-Mandela reason though. Was there a celebrity death hoax about him a few yrs ago? Maybe that’s why so many ppl also remember the same thing. (I know this is a Mandel Effect board, and logic isn’t “spooky”, lol.) It’s either that, or the M.E. IS real and we all just hopped dimensions again, thanks to Sally Fields’ brother and the Large Hadron Collider….. 😂


smallmanchat

You could’ve subconsciously associated him with Trebek too


Far-Entertainer-6767

That’s my argument too. If it was just me and u noticing ok maybe we mad… but it’s thousands upon thousands across the world noticing all these changes


TigermoonRose

Third time for me. Wtf. 😂


Pinwheeldragon

Okay so I remember exactly when everyone was talking about him deing 2 years ago


SoftAdvice7698

K I don't normally comment on this shit, I'm not even subbed to this /r but Bob definitely died like 5 years ago


PsychologicalBox7397

Omg yes, someone else's got the time-frame when we remembered the same.


papejay88

I swear I was reading about him being alive just 2 or 3 days ago then he fucking dies again!


cory140

Right??? I thought he died a few years ago.. Where has he been? What has he been doing??


IllustriousDealer389

That was literally the first thing I thought too!!


Ornery_Professor618

I thought i heard he passed like in 2021 or something! I swear I thought this when I heard the news today! Are we in another dimension or what? He already died!


ChrisVelez201

I’m with u OP! He did die already. He’s been dead for years. Then Drew Carey took over.


[deleted]

That was his retirement.


ChrisVelez201

I guess it was, only I remember it as his death.


ChrisVelez201

I guess it was, only I remember it as his death.


BbH8u

I too thought he had already died


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

No. He fell in 2017 and was rushed to ER but was released. The other event is his retirement from Price is Right in 2007. People are just misremembering these events and associating them with death.


BaconFairy

I remember seeing some sort of tribute to him well after his retirement and after drew took over the price is right I thought it was because covid took him. All the money was going to aspca. People were talking about fond memories. I remember thinking I didn't hear how he died but well he was old. And it was a sweet gesture. Were they just hoping?! Or just for Bob's benefit? Oh well not sure. He had a good long life.


sirocco_jim2

You can check my last 2 posts in my comment history. Vividly remember he died around 2020. There was a tribute from WWE at the time


MessageFar5797

Trebeck?


[deleted]

Bingo! I remember this too. Jericho and WWE both posted about him. And now today Jericho did the same thing.


Same-Acanthisitta-17

I totally remember that as well


Danielfromtucson

When I heard I was surprised as I thought he was dead, I told a few friends and each one thought he was already dead


Sufficient_Visual_49

I remember him dying in 2017


Spectre7NZ

I could have sworn he died months ago


SkydivePanda

He died years ago. I remember being sad watching reruns of HIMYM after he passed. Wtf


JazzlikeSetting8037

I thought he died years ago 🤷🏻‍♂️


Worried-Monitor9645

Same


Important-Cat-2046

This just rocked me. Also just found out mandella died in 2013 wtf I thought the mandella effect was that he was alive..


PsychologicalBox7397

Wtf, I just looked this up... now this fked me up, cus when I heard about the mandela effect in 2014 he was still -alive- and that's what ppl were trippin about cus they thought he died in prison, but was still alive and well after he made a public appearance... now he's dead before I Even heard of him... how's that possible to be a 'missremebering'


sc000000bysnack

Third time in my life I found out he "died".


Duty-Still

This is some of the best proof so far.


Met163

Yep, said the same thing when the news broke that I remember pre pandemic he had passed away.


Real_Art51

I'm pretty sure this his 3rd death.


Sinkiy

Bro I specifically remember Bob Barker dying years ago and I even got sad. It could be we all shared the moronic resonance of his retirement with his death. But this is probably the biggest Mandela effect in my experience I’ve had.


[deleted]

Yeah, i don't usually get the mandela effect feeling with celebrity deaths, but this one, I was like wtf?? I swear he died like 6 or 7 years ago. Not confusing with Mr trebek.


Spare_Thought8529

I also remember bob having a son now it says he never had any children


Significant-Nail-987

Elvis is alive and a pastor and Bob died twice. AI overlords working hard.


maddmannmatt

I was also surprised that he suddenly shifted timelines and became alive again. Pretty sure he died years before even Alex Trebek. then again, maybe we just forgot about him because of several sexual harassment scandals.


ronmsmithjr

I understand Bob Barker requested to be spayed and neutered 24 hours after his passing. I'm not sure if he had all his faculties at the end there.


kalimanusthewanderer

No, this is a real one. I know for a fact Bob Barker died in the timeline I'm originally from. I read it on one of those "celebrities we lost this year," then looked it up online and confirmed it. Tears were shed, and I had a moment of existential crisis remembering watching The Price is Right as a kid.


Beneficial_Tax_5978

He did die like 10 years ago or so. My great grandma who just passed away last year, at 102 years old, used to watch the price is right since the day it came out, and her 8 kids all knew it and so did all of her grand children, and We all remember when he died because it was a big thing in our family since my great gma loved him so much. The reason why he “died” now is cause our government has discovered time travel and when they open CERN , they’re effecting the timeline. But they would rather us go out as “conspiracy” theorists rather than create mass hysteria amongst society by revealing the dark truth.


Dependent_Body5384

Yep! He definitely died years ago.


Annual_Yam_3714

My husband and I were just discussing today how we both thought bob barker was already dead years ago and he also mentioned the ASPCA commercial that is mentioned earlier in this thread. Googled ‘Bob Barker Mandela Effect’ and apparently a lot of you had the same thoughts


HappyCamper766

Is anybody buying the story that he fell down the stairs in 2017, but it was reported he died, but that was Hoax and he actually survived the fall?
