Rest in peace Cotton Hill

Jim tomorrow: breath in yeah man this one was rough I never saw any of this stuff but he was really influential, anyway we got muscle clit McMahon coming in to recap wrestlemania.

He's his father, of course he saw his stuff.

holy shit LOL

You forgot the lip smack.

"Wow, sad day. That was Tears in Heaven, by uh uh by Eric Clapton for him. It's a sad day Sherrod!"

"Haddkdoenedkdnwbddkbesso."

"I know man, FAWK! We lost Don Rickles."

sniff

this one really stings

Goddamn. Fucking comedy legend dies and you still find a way to bitch about Jim and Sam.

Wouldn't have it any other way

Don would have wanted it that way

He probably would have started with wanting it funny and then we could work up from there.

That scene gives me a legitimate laugh https://youtu.be/_WiwOojDTrs

"Ya know what dude, I got plenty of culture. Look I wear sunglasses on the red carpet, dude.

Turkey neck Joe.

He makes up for his lack of shoulders with his abundance of chins.

He's got more chins than a Chinese phoneb-- okay, we got it

Bob's a puerto rican woman in that picture

I fully expected to open this and see, Don Rickles is dead, yes dead set on going to see Rich Vos at blah blah blah. I almost wish that is what it had been. Now I'm sad.

Damn. One of the few remaining great ones of the past is gone now.

Gutted. One of the best talk show guests ever.

His appearances on Letterman, and especially Craig Ferguson, were very re-watchable.

He's with Anthony's career now.

I didn't think the Jews believed in hell.

Anthony's career has been sitting shiva for 4 years now.

YOU'D ALL BE DEAD IF IT WASN'T FOR MY DAAAAAVID!

I'm Jewish and I don't know where people get this shit. The Talmud is full of references to heaven and hell, we believe in those places very deeply. It must be thos fucking Reform Jews making shit up.

Yeah, until now, I always thought Jews didn't believe in any kind of "afterlife".

ell with only doing light research the only things you find referring to heaven and hell is very very vague things that you an just kinda consider being like hell.

"Olam haba" ie the world to come is all over jewish literature. I didn't do "light research," I grew up with it. My whole life growing up was orthodox Judaism. So gtfo with your "light research."

Settle down there buddy, was trying to explain WHY people think there is no Hell in Judaism, cause with research it just sounds vague and likely only considered Heaven and hell via comparisons or modern teachings, I'm no scalar so was not trying to say otherwise.

Ok, I'm settled. No problem. I don't know why I care.

Rou kirred jesus. Rhy rou do that?

For lols

RMAO

everyone assumed jews didn't believe in the afterlife because we assumed you kikes wouldn't pull all the shit you've done for centuries if you knew it meant eternal hellfire.

oh you mean hes OVA HERE NOWWW

Anthony's career couldn't shake Rickles' career's dick after a good jerk-off.

He's down there in Black heaven.

just wait until he gets his apartment in the city, Jimmy and Ron and A list celebs will be stopping by all the time.

Unfunny & dead

He and Joan Rivers were the last living white people allowed to call black people "niggers". And now they're gone.

I loved his chain of hardware stores. Versatile man.

Goodbye, dummy!

I hope he burns in hell

Wow man so edgy.

Love the Tales from the Crypt he did with Bobcat Goldthwait. His turn as De Niro's right-hand man in Casino is also great. Artie has great anecdotes about he and Norm shooting with Rickles on Saget's comedy classic Dirty Work.

He rook rike sea rion rmao.

This is how I wanted to learn about this news - from the OnA sub.

RIP to this genius

T/P

Here he is straightening out Norm and Artie. Always bums you out to hear about elderly comedians kicking it, even though you know it's inevitable. I'm bracing myself for the inevitable demise of Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. No doubt coming soon.

I love that movie.

"Pops" was awesome.

We were kids and just thought it was a funny movie where guys pranked people. We didn't realize all of the more adult-oriented humor was in the movie. Being 12, we thought it was even more funny. My friend's very conservative mom did not feel the same way.

"Hey, look! An alien!"

"You're right. We'd better have sex with each other."

"Note to self: Sam just looked at the screen."

Did she give rou hand job?

Dirty Work was a classic, I had it on VHS in high school and several hot chicks fucked me just because of that.

I believe it.

In that close-up asking about guns, he looks like Benedict Cumberbatch,

I love Joe "Kohl's shirt and tie" DeRosa.

Is that a Van Heusen? Please tell me you're not wearing a Van Heusen.

When I was in my early 20's, Kohl's was my saving grace.

Are you telling me that you bet on the fight in Rocky III, and that you bet against Rocky?

Don Rickles is one of those guys if you pay attention to what he's actually saying, most of it isn't funny and a lot of it doesnt even make sense. I guess it's just his delivery? Everyone laughs at it anyway.

I went to see Jimmy at a Tonight Show taping years ago, and Rickles was one of the guests. None of his jokes made sense. He said weird things like "Shouldn't you be at home right now?" to Jay Leno, and everyone laughed. It was 20 minutes of "that," and looking back even 20-30 years ago at things like Reagan's Inauguration, it was "that."

I still liked him in general as a ball buster. And he ruled as Billy Sherbert in Casino. "Sue me, ya jew fuck..."

Just fucking scram, faggot. Did you have a pal who used to be assistant gaffer fucking inside baseball who cares on a show that Rickles was on once? Shut up with your gimmick till you meet a name worth dropping.

I hung out in Pamela Anderson's room with Don Rickles once. It was when I was working on the Osbournes Variety show at CBS, and Rickles was waiting to go on Craig Ferguson. You want a real name drop? There you go. Suck m'balls. (Later she got really drunk and one of her tits popped out in front of the entire studio audience)

You should try to return that comment to where you bought it from and expect retail for it.

Good stuff man.

Holy shit the resident open micer says Rickles sucks. This changes everything, guy's.

That's not what I said at all.

I mean, if you don't get why people laughed when he said Leno shouldn't be there after what when down with Conan, Don probably isn't the problem

Whatever you say, I guess. I forgot, everyone should have whatever the popular opinion is on the internet. I don't think he sucks, I just think he's a bit overrated and a lot of his jokes fold under questionin'.

You don't have to think he's funny since humor is subjective. But if you say "none of his jokes made any sense" and offer up a clear as day Conan O'Brien joke as your example, then everything comes into question.

None of his jokes made sense the day I saw him. I never said the joke had anything to do with Conan O'Brien, this was in 2009. Jay said something like "It's nice to be here with you" and Rickles said something like "Shouldnt you be at home?" I guess making a "Jay is lazy" joke or something? It was not in context of Conan O'Brien, Im 100% sure. The entire 20 minute thing was super awkward and weird, a lot of the stuff he said just got uncomfortable laughs just break the silence, because no one knew what he was talking about.

I have no agenda against the guy, but I was there in the room basically watching him uncomfortably bomb. Yeah, He was 80 years old or something, I get it. But go back and watch him at the Reagan inauguration. He has a killer opening line about Emmanuel Lewis, but as it goes on 3/4 of his jokes don't even make sense. It's really fucking weird.

Again, he was really funny a lot and I respect the guy's show biz fortitude. I just don't think he's this untouchable deity that everyone's made him to be, either.

Keep digging sweetie, you're halfway to China by now.

It's fine. "Ya can't fight city hall," lolz

I saw the date he was on with Norton as 2011.

It could have been, maybe you're right. I went to a couple of those, I think I saw Jimmy 3x. They were free to sign up and I was freelance back then, so if I didn't have work booked it was easy to go.

I always hated Leno, I always hated the Tonight Show. Jay does a quick set for the studio audience while the crew is setting up, and man was he a funny, mean fucker. He swore, he made fun of all the midwest tourists and shit. I didn't know he could actually be funny. Then I watched him struggle through interviews with really boring people like "Rainn Wilson," who's interview was so tedious and awkward I had no idea how it was going to even make the air. What an uncomfortable, awkward zilch. Leno had to do all the heavy lifting, then I realized what a thankless and exhausting job that must be day after day, talking to these boring assholes. I had a new respect for Jay after that, I was like "That motherfucker is talented."

No, YOU didn't say the joke had anything to do with Conan. WE are telling you that, ya fucking dummy. 2008/2009 was when all the NBC Leno to Tonight Show, give it to Conan, give it back to Jay shit was going on. Conan jumped to TBS. Rickels was saying Leno should have quit by that point, instead of letting NBC shit on his head.

Linger longer.

Or go die. Either way.

Peckahs.

Ok. Well I was there and Im telling you it was not in context of that, even if you're right the other 19 minutes of babbling and nonsense were generally painful to sit through.

Just go away.

I agree, he has some funny stuff but most of his laughs just relied on his personality and delivery, not the content.

A true legend. The world is now less funny.

Now now guys he told a lot of racially insensitive jokes and his career shouldn't be applauded. Instead we should just let comedians know that that type of humor will not be tolerated.

We should boycott his funeral. The only reason people thought he was funny was because of his white privilege.

I'm definitery not going.

"America needs Italians to keep the cops busy and blacks so we can have cotton in the drugstore."

Oh Donny I hear the blues a callin'-tossed salad and rigior mortis

Can't wait to hear all the comedians on all their various who gives a fuck podcasts and bad radio shows contemplatively looking back at his career and what he meant to them and their dogshit craft.

He roasted Regan at his inauguration, master of breaking balls. His close friends included Frank Sinatra which he was allowed to mess with. The man was a legend. They should honor his old ass

Wow, I didn't know Brian had a political career.

...even though they despise everything he said, and stood for.

I have faith in Nick Mullen.

surprised he can't do a good impression of Rickles, what sort of guy under 30 does an amazing Jack Lemmon impression

One who grew up up without cable or Internet. Watching old movies and terrible reruns.

Yea.. that's kinda what happens when someone famous dies.

Me too. As a civilian, it's tough for me to wrap my meager mind around the significance of events like this. I really need the guidance of comedians at times like this.

Sometimes we have to laugh so we won't cry.

This is the only time I actively hoped for a Vos roll.

Ya kiddin'... How'd it happen?

But you can still see Rich Vos at a rest stop in NJ Fri and Sat night...8 pm only...

That scene in casino where he sidles up to the card cheat with that big shit eating grin

Old faggot.

Fuck off faggot

Why are you so mad, pussy?

Why are such a faggot, pussy?

Because I voted for Donald Trump.

HEOW DIDDIT YAPPEN?

Finally!

As a Limey I only know him as the "Jew mudderfucker" who got bashed up by Pesci in Casino. Does his stand up hold up at all?

Yes...he was really into tearing people/celebrities down. He was extremely quick. Think Pat Cooper but less hyper and less bitter.

Pop some apples n pears up your jacksy

The comedian who inspired the KKITN tattoo on Joe DeRosa's arm. Rest in peace, Don.

YES HE DESERVED TO DIE.

AND I HOPE HE BURNS IN HELL!

CPO Sharkey

Just wait for all the faggots who only knew him from Toy Story... "RIP childhood".

What does this have to do with Opie & Anthony?

He was Norton's dad.

Thank god problematic comedians like Rickles and Joan Rivers are finally dying off. Now we can make some REAL comedy progress #punchup

That's a fucking bummer

I always confused him with Mickey Rooney.

Thoughts and prayers

I saw him on Comedians in Cars getting Coffee just a couple weeks ago. I felt even back then he had not long to live. 90 years though.

And yeah he really is Jim Norton's father. Im sure

It's amazing that the king of busting balls worked clean.

Ya kiddin! How did it happen?

One of the greatest talk show guests ever. Love how near the end he just started busting balls unfiltered. I remember he ripped right through Fallon's hacky thank you notes bit lmao

Ya kiddin! How did it happen ?

He looks like Jim Norton's future looper.

We can only hope that Rickles comes back and shoots Jimmy with a high powered weapon.

He was 14 years old.

Heaven isn't worthy of him.

Stanhope slid in a Don Rickles joke tonight in Boston.

If there is a better "Tonight Show" appearance of his than this, I am unaware of it.

He's playin hockey with the lord now.

And jesus says "so you didnt beleive in me but you still want in?" And Don answers "I was recommended by Frank." And someone cuts in right awy and says "Come with me sir"..... Oh wait this is how mind numbing you religous retards are, we are smart monkeys. see sam roberts and anthony cumia as examples

His best role was Crapgame in Kelly's Heroes - if you havent seen it, go watch it - Clint Eastwood, Rickles, a really young Donald Sutherland, and Telly Savalas. Great WWII movie.

Some dumb bitch at my job said "wow we are losing the good ones". Bitch he was 90.

Just fucking scram, faggot. Did you have a pal who used to be assistant gaffer fucking inside baseball who cares on a show that Rickles was on once? Shut up with your gimmick till you meet a name worth dropping.
