Mel Brooks has passed

Is not the way one should start the headline.

orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 127 pts · 48d (4 replies)

He's gone... and done it again.

agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works · 45 pts · 48d (3 replies)

He's no longer with us... he's the same length with everyone

everett@lemmy.ml · 35 pts · 48d (2 replies)

He kicked the bucket… out of the way so nobody trips, good guy Mel.

Mel Brooks, legendary comedic writer, actor, and director, has died… of laughter after seeing this post.

hakunawazo@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 48d

He is 6 feet under - in his basement laughing.

Unless you're making a joke.

db2@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 48d

It's the kind of joke the man himself would find tame though.

Getting tired seeing comments like this nitpicking or asking for sources on fucking c/lemmyshitpost

Are you new to the internet or just mentally challenged in general?

SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 48d (3 replies)

Please don't be rude to people falling for exactly what I was aiming for. Multiple communities here and on Reddit exist for the very reason that many people don't look at the community name closely.

P.S. I also can downvote comments, and can see that it was you who downvoted mine. You're exactly the kind of person reminding me why it's best to ignore any and all replies here and on Reddit.

watson387@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 47d

That's exactly it. I was scrolling and didn't pay any attention to the sub. XD

Aww that's so cute of you

SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 47d

I see you're too stupid to understand when you're told to fuck off for being a worthless cunt.

jjlinux@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 48d

What the fuck is your problem? The channel's name is literally Lemmy SHITPOST.

If you're so tired, go right back to reddit or quora or whatever.

Whine harder, Karen.

Mel Brooks has passed the age of 100

I feel like this could be right up his ally for humor. Someone gets sad and the person reading the paper (specifically not the obits) is confused. "They've passed the age. They're 101 now."

agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works · 42 pts · 48d (1 reply)

Newspaper says "Mel Brooks has passed", the newspaper is unfolded to reveal "the age of 100"

HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 48d

"Mel Brooks has passed", "go and will collect $200"

Bro do NOT put “Mel Brooks” and “passed” in the same headline together. Good lort need to put my heart back in my chest lol

Naughty OP!

I do not get it.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 48d

That comes from the Simpsons episode Hurricane Neddy. It's pretty good, you should watch it. I switched the word OP for Ned.

So how many layers of explanation of this do you want because it's pretty out of character behavior for Ned and mostly i was agreeing with you.

It is for example where the band Prune Tracy got their name (and i am so mad (not really) they got to it before me)

Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world · 36 pts · 48d (1 reply)

I read it wrong. I added an "at" in there. He content isnt available in the UK because its imgr or something so i had to google it and he is fine. I felt much better. You need a slap.

SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 48d

Ironically, I had to use Imgur because Lemmy.world disallows posting and uploads via the VPN that I utilize, and direct upload chokes due to some stupid shit the regulator and providers around here are pulling.

The way things in the Europes and the US are going, in a few years most Western VPNs will be of no avail for accessing the sites I want. We'll both have to VPN through Mexico or somesuch.

Not gonna lie, had me in the first half

TIEPilot@lemmy.world · 32 pts · 48d (3 replies)

Oh you got me! I bet Mel would get a laugh out of this too.

rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 48d (4 replies)

Incorrect. He just started being 100. He is not going to pass that age until next year.

SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 48d

He's been around for a hundred years, and is now in his hundred-and-first.

Angriest upvote possible

That's all she wrote...

-Mel Brooks, after reading a birthday card where the sender just used the preprinted greeting and only wrote her name in.

Agent641@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 48d

Sleep well, prince. Then wake up and go about your old day once more.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 48d

this is not the right thing to see when you just woke up. you got me

JoMiran@lemmy.ml · 16 pts · 48d (1 reply)

Goddammit OP, fix your wording. I was really upset about his passing for a solid five minutes before I read another comment clarifying your post.

betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world · 34 pts · 48d

Almost like that was the intent or something.

Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 48d

It was good to be the king...

RIP you absolute legend. The Schwartz be with you, always.

Edit. Oh wait, not that kind of passed. Well he's still an absolute fucking legend. More so for making it to 100.

Kalothar@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 48d

Same, I got a little sad and then kinda thought about it and just was glad he seemed to live a long and happy life.

Then I realized I just can’t read

cmbabul@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 48d (3 replies)

I’m too hungover to read good and told my friends lkl

SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 48d (2 replies)

I had to stay up very late to post this on NYC time, slept little, and am in about the same condition today.

A shame, he is no longer allowed to play with legos.

CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 48d

I think Lego recently changed this because of Sir David Attenborough.

This is so sad! I'll never forget his film legacy.

Reygle@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 47d

Read it again, but slower. You know, like a sloth might. :)

He didn't pass at the age of 100, he passed the age of 100

Citations needed. I can't find a source on this.

superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 22 pts · 48d (2 replies)

It says passed, not passed away. Well done OP.

SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 48d (1 reply)

The idea isn't mine, but Brooks is the perfect person for this. I hope I can pull this a bunch more times.

Aqarius@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 48d

It's the kind of thing he would pull
