OT: Movies/TV Shows

Well, that really sucks.

He was very visibly sick looking so not surprising. But man Artie outliving Norm, Saget and Gilbert is something else.

His (denied but obvious) hatred for Stern fuels him.

 

[CH1]

Yeah. He had posted a picture of himself and Bob Saget and Louie Andersen and said how sad or something like that. Now all three are gone.

It feels weird the last few years, like just a ton of celebs have died in a short span.

Get used to it; there’s never been more Celebs that you love/like than now

I feel like that must be a reference to something in a thread I'm not following.

Because no comprendo.

You mentioned tons of celebs have died recently; that ain’t gonna stop

[LeafOfFaith]

Damn, he died from it without even getting any action from CZJ. Raw deal.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

I absolutely loved that bit he did with Norm. So politically incorrect and inappropriate which naturally made it funny AF.

Ended up watching "Gilbert" last night. Very interesting to get a little glimpse of the "real" Gilbert Gottfried. Definitely a unique guy.

Artie's nose died first though.

 

[SundinsTooth]

Artie's nose died first though.

Right around the time of his career, IIRC.

He has been a junkie for the last 30 years. He was always an untalented standup that relied on shock humor and fame from the Stern show. Great radio sidekick for the most part, although when he was really fucked up he was often annoying as fuck and really chatty. He was pretty good on Dirty Work too I guess, but that movie was mostly all Norm and Farley in his small part... And Rickles.

His life story is basically: junkie who happened to be quite good on the biggest radio program on earth for 7 years or so. But Howard made a lot of talentless people look good so I don't think it's THAT much of an accomplishment either. His radio show after was shit.

Howard created a world where people deeply cared about the characters on the program. So it became a thing for people to hope and pray and wish that he was happy and stayed sober. People cared about his love life, his family life, etc. And that carried him through his standup gigs and life after Stern. But at the end of the day, he's a junkie and always has been.

Howard made Beetlejuice a star

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Michael Keaton did too.

Fucking beautiful.

 

[Habspatrol]

Probably the best Wack Packer ever.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Not probably. By far. No contest.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Although he was way funnier in his earlier appearances, before he gained some form of limited consciousness.
