Mel Brooks has passed

Is not the way one should start the headline.

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 124 points 1 month ago

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

[-] tramdan@piefed.social 22 points 1 month ago

Unless you're making a joke.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

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

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."

[-] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] CarrierLost@infosec.pub 34 points 1 month ago

Not gonna lie, had me in the first half

[-] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

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

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

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

[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

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

[-] fantacyde 12 points 1 month ago

At a small point in time he passed 100 year mark then began accruing seconds, minutes, hours past it. Acktuuallly ;)

[-] Nurgus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Almost correct. :D

[-] darkmogool@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

1st year is 0 to 1

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 month ago

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 points 1 month ago

Almost like that was the intent or something.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 20 points 1 month ago

Angriest upvote possible

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

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 points 1 month ago

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

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

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

[-] 20cello@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Happy birthday 🎂

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

It was good to be the king...

[-] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

Still on track for Space Balls 2.

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago

Oh wow I did not read that title right

[-] Nobody@anarchist.nexus 12 points 1 month ago

He’s still working on Mel Brooks 2: The Quest for More Money.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago

Mel Brooks is an og shit poster

[-] tipicaldik@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

that's a great picture you picked to go along with your post, you fuckwad ;)

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Fucking read that incorrectly. Almost had a heart attack.

[-] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

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

This one high school something end of the season dinner i can't remember the coach couldn't make it to. to the team captain was emceeing. And he said that the coach "isn't with us". And then paused for about fifteen seconds while
