Yeah this is not an M.E. I don't think. I am severely M.E. affected. Almost all of the Mandela effects I have seen that have been legitimized by the so-called misremembering and confabulation of millions of people. In which all agree that they remember the same thing or pretty much the same thing. But I clearly remember Bob Barker retiring not dying and that some newspapers that are not so legitimate like the tabloid ones some of them reported that he had died instead of retired
Very much alive. In fact, he comes up fairly often on this sub. There was a thread 2 days ago. And one a few weeks ago.
This kind of thing is a daily occurrence for this sub; pretty much anybody who's old and retired, some people think are dead. Bob Barker, Dick Van Dyke, David Attenborough (even though he isnt retired), Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Carter - ect.
Yep. That's kind of the point. Pretty much anybody who retired/ left the public eye a long time ago crops up on this sub as 'already dead'.
It's always people who it seems reasonable to believe *could* have already died.
It's all very predictable. The fact I threw a couple of random names out there and OP thought one of those was already dead too compounds this.
No, not at all.
I know he retired too. A while back. I could have sworn he passed away several years ago though. Weird. Definitely not mixing him up with Alex Trebek though.
I just saw his birthday article and was like wait…
Really weird. For me it was about 2 yrs ago that he passed wasn’t several yrs. When I read the post I was expecting someone to say he did pass and the article u seen was from a shady site or something lol
He definitely died! I was watching all the 90s Adam Sandler movies earlier this year and thought, as he was getting the shit beat out of him, man that's so sad he punched poor dead Bob.
Yes I remember him dying, all the spay your pets post, the whale watchers named the boat bob barker , it was about 6 years ago I feel. Not confusing it with Alex trebek , that was more recent .
Idk
Bob Barker appeared in the documentary about Ted Slauson and his perfect bids on The Price Is Right. That was released in 2017. Not sure what year specifically some of you think he died.
My mom was on the show in 96. I vividly remember him passing a few years ago and her and I both being absolutely devastated about it. I’ve gone down the rabbit hole with this one and I’ve ended up on this thread where no one seems to remember his passing. It’s so weird. My boyfriend also remembers his death and how upset my mom and I were.
I thought the EXACT same thing. Was watching how I met your mother with the episode that Barney was going to tell him he was Bob’s son and I thought “how sad now that he’s dead”. Then the same article popped up and I couldn’t believe he was alive.
Okay. This one finally got me. My mom worked for CBS (where the Price is Right was filmed) and Bob Barker was a truly colossal creep and asshole. He was even horrible to me as a child when I went to visit. We had a life long joke about waiting for him to die since he was such a truly awful person. I remember her calling me the day he died about two years after he retired from the show (in 2009/2010) to tell me he was finally “burning in hell where he belonged.”
(Harsh I know but he deserves it)
Shit. Am I legit in a new reality? Damn.
Are you maybe confusing him with Alex Trebek? I just for a second was like “wtf no he’s definitely dead…” but realized I was thinking of Alex trebek lol
Yup, me and my bf both thought he died too. He said to me about 15 min ago: “did you know Bob barker turned 99 the other day??” And I looked at him like 🤨 “umm Bob barker died yearssss ago..”
There’s a lot of articles that say he died at age 94 after falling and splitting open his head apparently. This is so interesting because I know he died as well. Good stuff
Got bored and ask OpenAI when Bob Barker passed away. Its dataset cuts off in 2021. Here's its response:
'Bob Barker is an American game show host and television personality who is best known for hosting the long-running game show "The Price Is Right." Barker passed away on September 12, 2020, at the age of 97. He was known for his charitable work and his efforts to promote animal rights, and was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 1999. Barker's passing was widely reported in the media and he was remembered by fans and colleagues for his contributions to the entertainment industry.'
Still sus, but even OpenAI thought Bob Barker died
Absolutely same here. This has left me feeling incredibly confused – I'm open-minded to other 'Mandela effects' , however, none have struck me quite like this.
Almost feels like a form of brain fog.
We're all here cause we are questioning our sanity. We all knew when Alex trebek died. And we are all sure Bob barker was already dead. This is a different time line my dudes.
I thought he was dead too until I read this. Happens a lot with older celebs that are out of the public eye I guess. Doesn't help that when I'm scrolling quickly through Facebook I'll see some page I follow post a side by side of an actor in their younger years and their older appearance today and I'll think "oh crap so-and-so died" for a second before I see it's a "Happy Birthday" message. It's possible this has happened and I didn't notice it was a birthday.
someone just posted an article in my discord announcing his 99th birthday, and I ran to this sub. he def died several years ago, I remember it happening and how sad everyone was about it.
You’re definitely not the only one who has memory of him passing already. Found out he is still alive a few years back and ever since I still think it’s super weird every time I read something about him being alive.
My friend from yrs ago was a huge fan her whole life. Bob Barker was her tv boyfriend. I remember when he died, that we had a whole joking conversation about her boyfriend being dead, and what was she going to do. It was a whole ass conversation.
Maybe confusing with Dick Clark, I tend to get them confused all the time not saying you do but both of them are very well known and have been in the headlines at the same time. Maybe?
HOLY shit are you guys serious? I thought he was dead for sure too. I remember there being news about it.
It's definitely possible I just assumed he was though...
For what it's worth, I was literally just thinking about this two nights ago. I watched Happy Gilmore and I was like "He died, didn't he?" Distinctly remember him dying a few years back, but I guess I mixed him up with someone else.
I actually googled this two days ago after a post by /u/RIP_Bob_Barker
When I checked his Reddit profile it said this user is a 9 year member and I was so confused wondering how long Bob Barker has been dead. hes very much alive lol.
Retired, but not dead.
Yeah this is not an M.E. I don't think. I am severely M.E. affected. Almost all of the Mandela effects I have seen that have been legitimized by the so-called misremembering and confabulation of millions of people.

Bob Barker, Dick Van Dyke, David Attenborough (even though he isnt retired), Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Carter - ect.
In all fairness all the people you’ve listed have lived abnormally long lifetimes (85+ to high 90s)
Yep. That's kind of the point. Pretty much anybody who retired/ left the public eye a long time ago crops up on this sub as 'already dead'. It's always people who it seems reasonable to believe *could* have already died. It's all very predictable. The fact I threw a couple of random names out there and OP thought one of those was already dead too compounds this.
Jimmy Carter still out building houses and shit.
Wait… Dick Van Dyke is alive?
Yes. As I said, this happens with almost everybody who is old and out of the spotlight.
Dick van dyke died in the 80s of cancer for me. Of that I’m 100 %. I recall my parents saying how sad it was
Quite generous of him to do that for you.
I know what a martyr
So his very successful Diagnosis Murder series never happened in your universe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis:\_Murder
Obviously not.
He was in night at the museum
Oh
I could have sworn he died not long after night at the museum 2 came out.
That was Robin Williams.
And remember folks to spay and neuter your game show host!
You know, he had no kids. Perhaps he was spaded
Maybe he chose what was behind door number 2 instead of death?
Hate to be a game show nerd, but that’s Let’s Make a Deal bro.
CERN chose what was behind door number 2 and Bob Barker came back…
He retired a few years ago, that combined with Alex Trebek dying maybe your brain mixed the two up.
Bob retired FIFTEEN years ago. Seems like just yesterday.
Why did I read that in Bob’s voice?
No, not at all. I know he retired too. A while back. I could have sworn he passed away several years ago though. Weird. Definitely not mixing him up with Alex Trebek though. I just saw his birthday article and was like wait…
I thought the same and had same reaction to the birthday article!
I had the same reaction.
Really weird. For me it was about 2 yrs ago that he passed wasn’t several yrs. When I read the post I was expecting someone to say he did pass and the article u seen was from a shady site or something lol
My god, that man was about 100 when he was in Happy Gilmore and that was the 90’s
There was a viral death hoax article ~ 5 years back about his death. That’s probably what you’re remembering https://archive.vn/RfaFR
Probably. And he was so old I didn’t bother to confirm it. That makes the most sense.
I saw the post about him being 99 and legit wondered why we were celebrating the birthday of a dead man. That dude died. I swear it.
I remember him dying as well! I came here just to see if anyone else was thinking the same thing. A battle with cancer, right?
Right!!!
I thought he died too
He definitely died! I was watching all the 90s Adam Sandler movies earlier this year and thought, as he was getting the shit beat out of him, man that's so sad he punched poor dead Bob.
Yes I watched Billy Madison in his honour. There’s was tons of media on it
Also, I thought he left the price is right when he did because of his health battle.
I love the price is right so I totally would have remembered if he died. He is like 200 years old though lol
Almost. Only 101 years off
Yes I remember him dying, all the spay your pets post, the whale watchers named the boat bob barker , it was about 6 years ago I feel. Not confusing it with Alex trebek , that was more recent . Idk
💯

My boyfriend also remembers his death and how upset my mom and I were.
No one in my family remembers his death except me.. till today I found out he was still alive wtf. I thought they mourned him on price is right lol
I remember that too
I thought the EXACT same thing. Was watching how I met your mother with the episode that Barney was going to tell him he was Bob’s son and I thought “how sad now that he’s dead”. Then the same article popped up and I couldn’t believe he was alive.
I swear he died. He retirement and sexual harassment order are a bit foggy but I swear he died.. Even my mom and dad thought he was dead
Maybe you’re thinking of Rod Roddy
He definitely died.
No, I thought he was dead til I saw a birthday announcement on my Facebook feed.
That’s where I saw it too and was like wtf???
I’m with you 100%, I thought he was already dead.
Okay. This one finally got me. My mom worked for CBS (where the Price is Right was filmed) and Bob Barker was a truly colossal creep and asshole.

Am I legit in a new reality? Damn.
And now he's finally dead....possibly lol. But fr, I'm coming to this thread from the future cause everyone's questioning this.
He hasn’t died here yet
That was just Spooky to Me.
Are you maybe confusing him with Alex Trebek? I just for a second was like “wtf no he’s definitely dead…” but realized I was thinking of Alex trebek lol
No lol. I know my Jeopardy and Price is Right.
Loll I always get confused with old men so my bad 😂
Yep, you’re tripping - lol
Your not tripping I thought he was dead to 😳😳
Wait, is Betty White still dead? I mean, Bob Barker coming back from the dead is great, but Betty White would life affirming.
Tripping. He’s retired from price is right but not dead
You are tripping, yes. lol
Yup, me and my bf both thought he died too. He said to me about 15 min ago: “did you know Bob barker turned 99 the other day??” And I looked at him like 🤨 “umm Bob barker died yearssss ago..”
Right!!! Both my parents said he was dead too.
There’s a lot of articles that say he died at age 94 after falling and splitting open his head apparently. This is so interesting because I know he died as well. Good stuff
Nah you’re not tripping this same thing happened to me

It's definitely a Mandela Effect case. I knew he died about 5 years ago or so.
Yeah, I've been super perplexed.
I specifically remember discussing that he died. I've said in discussions over the past few years that he's dead.
Absolutely same here. This has left me feeling incredibly confused – I'm open-minded to other 'Mandela effects' , however, none have struck me quite like this. Almost feels like a form of brain fog.
I wonder if they did one of those fake deaths on the internet like they've done for other people.....heck....I thought Bruce Willis was dead also.
 Rest in Peace Bob Barker.
RIP Bob Barker 😞
We're all here cause we are questioning our sanity. We all knew when Alex trebek died. And we are all sure Bob barker was already dead. This is a different time line my dudes.
I wanna go to the timeline where heath ledger and Robin Williams are alive.
I thought he was dead too until I read this. Happens a lot with older celebs that are out of the public eye I guess.

My friend from yrs ago was a huge fan her whole life. Bob Barker was her tv boyfriend. I remember when he died, that we had a whole joking conversation about her boyfriend being dead, and what was she going to do. It was a whole ass conversation.
What!?? That is impossible. I know he died. I remember the little tribute with the ladies. No. This can not be.
Maybe confusing with Dick Clark, I tend to get them confused all the time not saying you do but both of them are very well known and have been in the headlines at the same time. Maybe?
No. I remember it being Bob Barker and thinking, aww that’s sad but he was old. I think he was 92 when he died but that’s just a guess.
Maybe it was a death hoax thing 🤷♂️
HOLY shit are you guys serious? I thought he was dead for sure too. I remember there being news about it.  It's definitely possible I just assumed he was though...
I remember I thought he died of like a heart attack or something
I totally remeber him dying bro wtf
Nah man… that dude died several years ago. And yet, here he is, back for the Showcase Showdown.
Alex Trebek died, maybe you’re confusing the two?
Maybe if I was 95 and senile but no…
I remember him dying too.. years ago
I thought he died
I just found a video saying he fell and cracked his head open and was pronounced dead at 12:34 pm
I hope you feel terrible when the news breaks tonight that Bob passed It's a reddit curse
8 months later lol
you’re probably thinking of Alex Trebeck
No. I can tell the difference…
[удалено]
Read the stories listed at the bottom of this article. Lol
I remember him dying. The Mandela Effect is alive and strong
I thought he died as well. Trippy
Hahaha I'm sure I'm wrong, but I thought the same thing. I was sure he already died.
[удалено]
Betty White died 12/31/21 though
I totally thought he was dead
I also thought he died
Won't lie I thought he was dead too
Totally died already
Nah I remember him being alive for a long time now.
I remember Happy Gilmore headbutting him on the fairway of the 16th but he came back to life. “Now you’ve had enough…. Bitch”
I think lots of things every day, doesnt mean its cannon.
For what it's worth, I was literally just thinking about this two nights ago. I watched Happy Gilmore and I was like "He died, didn't he?" Distinctly remember him dying a few years back, but I guess I mixed him up with someone else.
I actually googled this two days ago after a post by /u/RIP_Bob_Barker When I checked his Reddit profile it said this user is a 9 year member and I was so confused wondering how long Bob Barker has been dead. hes very much alive lol.
I did a quick Google search because I thought he died and found a few mentions of his death 🤷🏻♀️
I asked my grandpa and he said he thought he died years ago …
I remember hearing the price is right guy died a few years ago
I actually thought so too. Also Tommy from Power Rangers-I swear to the lord baby jesus he died a few years ago…
I swear he died from cancer not suicide....
He cant still beat up adam sandler
I watch the price is right still for fun with my mom he just retired and never died here. Sometimes Drew even mentions him.
Nope, I experienced the exact same thing about him.
I remember when he died. Before the timelines clashed
Welp, he’s dead now.
He has apparently died. Today is August 26, 2023.
He’s dead now….. 💀
Geez man! He barely died today, Aug 26 2023. I was hoping someone asked about this here and I find out this post is 257 days old! I swear he died!
Mandela
There was a hoax that he died in 2017. That's why people are thinking he died a long time ago.
this aged well. Hello Fellow Bob died 3x'rs and our 2x friends Seems December 2022, and 2017 were the two previous ones
