Celebrity Death Thread

[mason reese]

I will ALWAYS appreciate a Twiki reference. Where is Dr. Avatar in that picture?

Bidddi-biddi-bee gee, buck - you're a real douche-bag, ya woke bitch. No disc-shaped entities?

Goddamit that is a joke I would make with my brother. I bought one of those spring loaded doorstops just so I could screw it on the wall and prank call him and make the 'boooooinggggg' sound and hang up. It was funny if you knew. Childhood torment of our parents at night and all that, from adjoining rooms. If you only knew the legend of Underwear-Man!

I give 2023 a fukkin poor review, and also the Lions are killing it. Weird shit.

Biddeeee-Bideeeee- Beeee.

To bring the topic back around to dead celebrities…I didn’t realize that Mel Blanc did the voice for both Twiki and Duck Dodgers

Better than talking about Bobby Knight.

Well, Bobby Knight was a massive tit.

And Bugs Bunny, and Tweety, and Slyvester (which is actually closest to his real voice), and Wile E. Coyote, etc.

He truly was a Man of a Thousand Voices.

Carl Weathers was so damn funny in “Arrested Development”.

This is the creator of the show talking about the idea to hire him:

"Then we had this great idea to do a parody of this very homoerotic scene in 'Rocky 3' of Carl and Sly Stallone running on the beach. There were shots of their crotches and this big finish to some imaginary race, and they were jumping up and down in the water in slow motion. We gotta do this with Carl and Tobias! Then I needed to call Carl Weathers. There's always [that thing when you're making] fun of something until you realize, oh, right, it's a human being.

”So I called Carl, and said, 'Hey, I don't know if you've seen the show but we wanna use you for it, and you'd be working with David Cross.' And he goes, 'Great, but let me ask you something. It's not going to be just a bunch of Rocky jokes is it?' I laughed, 'No! No! Give me a little credit, Carl. Of course not! It's a multidimensional character.' And he was like, 'Because I direct and I'm a funny guy and I don't wanna just do a bunch of Rocky jokes. Nobody wants that. Maybe I could be really cheap or something?' And I said, 'Whaaaat?' 'Maybe I could be really cheap?' 'Really? You'd like to do that?' 'Oh, absolutely, that's what I'm saying. I want to play someone funny, not just be a sight gag.' It was so much better. I went back to the writers room and said, 'You're not going to believe this. Carl Weathers wants to be incredibly cheap.' All credit to Carl on that."
