Is not the way one should start the headline.

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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."

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

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

Same, this is like a live audience Mandela Effect

Naughty OP!

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)

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.

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.

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

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

21

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

So as i wake up more.

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

and then said HE'S STILL ALIVE HE JUST HAD ANOTHER MEETING TONIGHT. The rest of the night, every time a name got mentioned, "who isn't with us" "naw I ain't dead".

I had forgotten that so thanks.

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

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