I watched Mary Poppins so much growing up in the 80s my parents almost actually bought it. Guess they figured 40 rentals was cheaper. He's always the chimney sweep guy to me but he's always great wherever he is.
I saw a video of him a month or so ago where he said it would be hilarious if he died before he got to 100, just because people are making a big deal out of it. Here's a video of him dancing about a year ago in a Coldplay video, if you haven't seen it and would like to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4OlL0OpbW8
Very few better choices. Mr. Rogers, Dolly Parton, Betty White, LeVar Burton, maybe a few others as contenders (I know some of them have already passed).

I love old Dick!
He's aged remarkably.

Dude, don't scare me like that!

That's only when they start out "Dick van Dyke, 100, ...."

Thank you for my new favorite meme

The way he moves still is remarkable. He's more spry than some people literally half his age! An absolute inspiration.

Long may he continue.

Holy shit. He made it.
Well done, Mr Van Dyke.

The one time unreasonable censorship would have been fucking hilarious.

The accent in Maty Poppins is a hate crime.
chiliedogg@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 273d
The thing is, he plays 2 different roles in the film, and Mr Dawes's accent isn't nearly as offensive.

Why doesn't he have Hollywood veneer teeth?
NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 273d
Because he’s a cockney chimney sweep, guv’nor.

I think his sense of humor is a little more fucking refined, my friend.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 274d
Ehhh, I'm not so sure about that. DVD has been joking all year that it would be hilarious if he died Dec 10-12 so that he just barely didn't make it.
I will agree there's a difference between DVD joking about it, and some rando.

Like Betty White was just a few days from a hundred when she gave up the ghost 😢

Gave up the ghost. I need to start saying that more often.

I think the pun is that "Sick Man Died" sounds vaguely like / rhymes with Dick van Dyke.
Spoiler: it's not a very good pun.
