As close as he could without going over

He did not over bid.

Don’t forget to have your pet spayed or neutered.

Immediately the first thing I thought of, thx for posting it.

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

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.

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.

The price is wrong, Bitch!

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

ManosTheHandsOfFate@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Don't stop at your own. Find other people's pets to spay and neuter in Bob's honor.

Kolanaki@yiffit.net · 5 pts · 2y

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

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

At least we still have Drew Carey, right?

I wish he would just be himself, though. He takes the gig so seriously. It's uncomfortable to watch. I don't want Bob Barker 2.0 Drew; give me Whose Line and Drew Carey Show Drew.

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

Psythik@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 2y

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

I guess that’s one way to avoid all those allegations.
