Barkerisms: Get well soon, Bob edition
Unfortunately, there will be no new tapings of The Price Is Right for at least a week, and possibly longer... Bob Barker is currently undergoing treatment for a torn ligament in his foot. He tried to gut it out during last week's taping (those episodes will air at the end of April), and was obviously in a great deal of pain.
I do hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.
Last week's Barkerisms:
"She's much younger than I, she's nearer James than I, and she couldn't hear James! It reassures me that we do have a little noise in here occasionally!" - Bob, after Stacy asked what James bid
"And now, when she gets all the way to California, she gets up close and discovers he's just a wrinkled old man!" - Bob, on Stacy's shirt (which said she'd come all the way from New Jersey to see how handsome Bob is)
"I just got word from the booth that my tie is not straight. Is it straight now? Yeah.. But now, I can't turn my head. I can only do this (Bob stands there, shuffling his feet and moving completely around, instead of turning his head or waist)!" - Bob, on his crooked tie
"You're playing Temptation on The Price Is Right, that's what you're doing!" - Bob, after Sonia nervously said she didn't know what she was doing
"I've always heard a woman has the right to change her mind!" - Bob, after Brittaney changed her bid from $3,000 to $1 (on the first bid of the show, no less!)
"Someone is trying to take my microphone away from me." - Bob, after Paul stepped on the microphone cable
"We have an audience filled with college students today! Look around here... I mean, they are all over the place! And I feel like Professor Barker up here. And the first question I ask of the class is, is that hair your own, Nicholas?! It's not. I can't believe it... Because if it was, I was going to give you a haircut!" - Bob, on Nicholas' afro wig
"You talk about a lack of attention in class!" - Bob, after Terri tried to bid $1,256 after Joanne had just bid that
"Win, lose or draw, that was the most popular bid of the day!" - Bob, after Lashawna bid $1 on the last item up for bids (after everyone overbid the first time)
"I really gave you a big promotion!" - Bob, after he mixed up Elizabeth's rank in the Navy
"Obviously, you don't have a good sense of direction, do you?" - Bob, after Linda started heading in the wrong direction while going up on stage
"Rich, I have Eric, I have Anthony, I have Adam. You want to go all men for the rest of the show?"
"Sure, why not? You want to do that?"
"No... It'll cause trouble!"
- Bob, trying to rile up the women once again
"You know, the way he does that, he'd make a great Barker's Beauty, I think!" - Bob, on Eric bowing and spinning around when he won his way up on stage
"I heard - they were just shouting advice to Blake on what to bid, and we don't even have the prize out yet! There may be some thing I don't understand, but I would believe that would be a disadvantage!" - Bob, after yet another contestant received advice during the commercial break on what to bid on a prize that hadn't been brought out yet!
"She's promising me, she's saying 'I'll be gentle! I'll be gentle!' She's seen me beaten up by contestants before!" - Bob, after Maryellen came up on stage
"Now, Maryellen, you got a little fancy with that one. You try again, and I'll stand right here!" - Bob, after Maryellen rolled a dice too hard, sending it flying to the floor. He then stood at the other end of the table, blocking the dice from going to the floor like a goalie!
"During that commercial, I found out that Blake is one of some very unusual young men. These young men rode bicycles from Texas to California, 1,200 miles! 400 miles a day for three days. Now they're going into rehab in the desert!" - Bob, on Blake and his "Kinsmen"'s Tour de Price
"Now, since he is one of the young men who ride a bicycle 1,200 miles from Texas to California, he desperately needs a car!" - Bob, when Blake got the chance to win a car on Line 'Em Up
While we don't want to see Bob injured by contestants, the Barkerism Of The Week does prove that Bob is quite amusing when he is scared. Picture Bob first trying to duck from Avonne, then hiding behind the prize displays, then behind a model as he says this:
"Avonne has won a car on The Price Is Right! Yes, you won a car! No, don't attack me! Don't touch me! Easy, Avonne, easy! Easy! Yes, you've won! Yes, you've won! You've won the car! Hold her! Keep her away from me! Yeah, you've won! Yeah, you did win! She won't believe me! Keep her out there, Rachel! Don't let her get me, Rachel!" - Bob, fearing for his life after Avonne won a car and went nuts
I do hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.
