wiffleball 4,793 Posted April 7, 2014 that sucks man he was one of the funniest men ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 833 Posted April 7, 2014 Weird I was taking to my sister (flat) this morning and she said they had tickets to see him in local theater. I said I didn't know he was still touring. This was before either of us knew he was a dead. Not the same impact as my parents having tickets to see Elvis in August 1977 at NVMC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School 360 Posted April 7, 2014 Damn. Funny dude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 833 Posted April 7, 2014 I posted this because he was too old for posty to care. I met him in the 90's and was a down to earth kinda guy. Didn't seem to be "always on" as a comedian. Regular dude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,793 Posted April 7, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSTg3Cj07d0 Just a hilarious delivery. I'm really sorry to hear he's passed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Blue 06 195 Posted April 7, 2014 That's a shame. I know a lot of people who liked him, though I never really got into his stuff. Still sad to hear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife is dragging me to see Keith Urban at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA on July 26th. Please have someone in your family buy tickets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herbivore 1,151 Posted April 7, 2014 RIP, but not funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 541 Posted April 7, 2014 I suppose he was funny, in that he could make you laugh. But his humor was basically making fun of how fat he was. Pretty simple stuff. He just said what everyone was thinking. And that made it funny. Funny? yes. Clever? Not really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
