Bob Parr says coincidence I think not in The Incredibles, a suspicious line creators use to call out obvious lies and unlikely coincidences online.

This is Bob Parr, also known as Mr Incredible, delivering his deadpan line coincidence I think not with rising suspicion. The delivery starts calm and almost muttering, then lands hard on the final not, turning a simple observation into an accusation. You can hear the disbelief in his voice as he connects the dots out loud. It works because the pause and emphasis make any ordinary situation feel like a cover up, giving viewers an instant signal that something shady is definitely going on behind the scenes.

The line comes from Pixar's The Incredibles, released in 2004, where Bob Parr is voiced by Craig T. Nelson. As Mr Incredible, Bob grows suspicious of the pattern behind the missing heroes and delivers the line as a turning point in his investigation. The short, quotable delivery later spread through meme edits, reaction videos and soundboards, where it became shorthand for not believing an official explanation. Its popularity has lasted because the suspicion fits almost any unlikely event, from gaming clips to everyday coincidences shared online.
