Barkerisms: All caught up edition

Whew.. The good news is I'm all caught up. The bad news is, there's only seven first-run episodes left in season 34...

Enjoy!

"Well, here you are.. I've been waiting for you for 19 years!" - Bob, after Rachel said she's waited 19 years to meet him

"You know, the way the audience is going oooohhh... And aaaahhhh... The viewers will never believe that's real, and not a tape!" - Bob, on the audience's reactions during Temptation

"During the last commercial break, this young man in the back of the audience held up this picture. People in the audience immediately assumed it was Errol Flynn. No, that was - is - a young Bob Barker. That picture was a promotional picture taken of me just before my very first episode of Truth Or Consequences back in 1956. I was so cute then!" - Bob, on that 50 year old photo of himself

"A jumping spin! Careful! You can lose your tooth that way!" - Bob, after Katherine did a jumping spin

"Ahd Michelle was sitting next to a young lady who announced she is not a group, which is also exciting!" - Bob, proving that everyone who comes to TPIR isn't part of a group!

"Everyone was looking back there, I thought I had Pamelas coming from every direction!" - Bob, after Pamela was called down

"Someone was talking about drinking during the last commercial, and obviously... No." - Bob, after Austin got mixed up while bidding

"Before I look at this, let me ask, are there any zeroes on the board?!" - Bob, after Austin went from $250 to $100 to $50 on his first three punches on Punchboard

"It's six nights. You can't stay down there during the day!" - Bob, after Casey asked how long the trip to Victoria, BC was

"During that commercial break, I was asked about how Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico became Truth Or Conseqeunces, New Mexico. It used to be Hot Spring, New Mexico until Ralph Edwards began a letter-writing campaign and got them to change it. Well, it occured to me that we should start a letter-writing campaign and get, say, Chicago, to change its name to The Price Is Right, Illinois! And Oprah, who is of course very famous, would then be taping her show from The Price Is Right!" - Bob, who thinks TPIR needs a city named after it

"Now, you understand, twelve hundred dollars wasn't her choice of bids, it was just easier to say!" - Bob, after Ruth had trouble saying her bid

"You know, normally I believe that kind of bid is good strategy, but doing that after all the trouble she had saying her bid was just downright mean!" - Bob, after Anthony $1-upped Ruth

"We had one woman who once played this same game. She won all five chips, and put all five chips into zero... She shot herself in the parking lot!" - Bob, after Jared won only $500 on Plinko, getting four zeroes

"Now, this is an interesting situation. If we don't get it all the way around, I'm disqualified, right?" - Bob, who helped Karen spin the wheel on her bonus spin


Bob: "Do you know this gentleman?"
Malba: "No. No!"
Bob: "You must know he. He got up and hit her in middle ofthe back! You know her, Robert? You do?"
Malba: "He watches you more than I do. I have to work to support him!"
- Bob and Malba, after Robert (Malba's husband) got up and playfully hit her in the back

"Nicholas, I saw that! That page is taking her job too seriously! Nicholas was coming right up on stage, and she tripped him! An attorney will be calling her for him!" - Bob, after Nicholas tripped on the steps while trying to come right up on stage after being called on down

"Here you came all the way from Sparta, Tennessee, to be booed on The Price Is Right!" - Bob, after Joan didn't get the wheel all the way around

"Ohh, so close! And you worked so hard, too!" - Bob, after Joan just missed a dollar, and didn't get enough to move onto the Showcases

"Don't listen to your daughter, listen to somebody else!" - Bob, after Rita after struggled on Ten Chances

"I get the feeling they're going to start throwing things at Rita in a second!" - Bob, on the audience's frustration

But this week's Barkerism Of The Week must make John Glenn happy - he now knows his record is safe!

"'Space Coast of Florida loves Bob Barker!' Well, I'm happy... 'Bob Barker on the next space...' No, no, thank you! That's all right! I'm too old for that!" - Bob, commenting on Shayan's T-Shirt

For me? Let's say I get picked at the next taping.. 27 years.

Yes, Bob is still cute, but he loves saying how he "was so cute back then!"

John Glenn was the first American to orbit the Earth back in 1962, then in 1998 he went up in the space shuttle at the age of 77, becoming the oldest person to ever orbit the Earth.

If Bob were to go up into space, he'd break Glenn's record by five years.
