Is it normal to never give a fuck about celebrities dying?

[UnPRePared]

Short answer, yes it's normal not to give a fuck.

Longer answer, you're probably lying to yourself a little because there will be at least one that hits you.

I never thought I'd give much of a shit, but I grew up a very big fan of David Bowie, and that hit harder than I expected. I didn't fucking cry or anything, but it brought back memories of my childhood, listening to his records and imagining playing those songs myself. It's that relation that made it hard at the time.

The other one, and you all can torch me, but a good sliver of you were there with me that day it happened... was Fez. And that one actually got to me more than Bowie.

Stupid, isn't it? I had probably listened to the old Ron and Fez shows for maybe a decade by that point, never heard them live, missed all the great stuff as it happened. But I felt for the Big Cat: struggling with life and just trying, trying, trying to get through. Some days you'd never hear him, and others he'd be on fire with jokes. Up to the retirement, the rare call ins, the last live show appearance, hearing his joy when his Buccaneers won - it's daft to say you get invested, but you really do in a way. And I think knowing that he never found the love he truly wanted (and according to his own sister, he even believed he would never find it) is why I felt that one so much. You wanted the guy to die happy, you know?

Alright, enough emotion. Better turn on some John Wayne and go shoot a red deer.

I know that Ray isn’t a celebrity but I’ll be pretty upset when he dies tobehonestwitchya.

Plenty of old Polish women will be crying in Poznan that they will have no more new music to cure their insomnia.

Would you say that without you they’d be living in THE LAND OF CONFUSION?

Being bummed out about Fez or a radio personality that has actually given you insight into who they really are makes a lot more sense than crying over Chandler, a fake character from a show that was already long wrapped up. You still have Chandler, faggots. The fat husk that played him died, that's all.

I actually have no idea what you’re talking about.

Now you do, lad.

I dont care when celebs die, but Im a sucker for a good tribute/eulogy. If done well it can give me a lump in the old cocksucker

He was a cheaper Jew than David Schwimmer.

It was the opposite. Guy basically spent $10million on rehab and then probably double that on Batman merchandise and collectibles. Plus anyone who spent $10million on rehab probably spent double or triple on coke and pills and having a full time "assistant" aka drug dealer working for them. Also he was not a jew he was just surrounded by them.

Like if you are a famous hollywood drug addict. You are not going to the ghetto to get your pills or coke or whatever. You have an assistant whose entire job is getting you drugs to get high on and making sure that you don't overdose. Let's say $200K a year for the assistant's salary and buying his silence. Across a decade of drugs you are down $2million or more and that's not even factoring in the cost of the drugs. And factoring in the loss of work and having no career you are down even more.

Guy basically did Friends and lived off of the money until he overdosed. Must have been an unfulfilling life.

 

[BonnieMcFarlaneMe2]

Now you do, lad.

I really wasn’t trying to be cute, I didn’t know what you meant but that was a PFG cover. Rock on, brotherman.

I think there's people (women and faggots) who think that the only appropriate response upon hearing about anyone's death they know the name of is tears. Like they HAVE to cry or else they're a bad person. It's worse to fake it. It makes me think of those little North Korean fuckers having to throw themselves on the ground and wail and scream-cry for a guy who spent his life being horrible to them.

Nobody fucking cried for me. I even got shafted at the Oscar memorial.

Good point. Remember when everyone made fun of Jim Norton for crying about Roger Ebert dying? Turns out Jim is an actual faggot.

Laughing is giving a fuck, isn’t it?

 

[Ants Hard Drive of Horror]

I don't see how anyone can get upset over a celebrity dying these days. There's been so many the last few years. I just accept that I cant keep track of which celeb I'm never gonna meet is somewhere I'm never gonna be, or just plain ol 6 feet under.

I was sad when Terry Funk died, seemed like he was invincible. I’m sure many will be upset when Hogan and Flair go - Flair seems like he will go before Hogan since Hulk’s problems are just related to his back. Ultimate Warrior was a weird one because of that promo he did about living forever and was dead about 12 hours later.

Hulk also probably has a disastrous heart with al the roids and coke he was doing in the 80s and 90s. But Flair is just in a constant state of near death these days.

Leslie Nielsen and Norm are the only two I ever cared about

I can see that.

One man who's hot takes and rambling incoherency that make me want to kill myself: Dave Meltzer.

One man whose obituaries are exquisitely in depth, personal, heartfelt and well researched: Dave Meltzer. His obituary for Terry Funk was wonderful.

Just tell that autistic mush mouth to shove his Star ratings up his ass. Not everything needs to be in the Tokyo Dome.

 

[Jesse Ventura]

I was sad when Chris Farley died when I was a kid.

I’ll be bummed when Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura go as well.

Norm I felt some sadness for as well. He seemed like the type who would mane it to 90 and still be going on shows doing his Norm thing. I remember hearing that he was talking to Cloris Leachman at the Saget roast about the aging process of a comedian. He was worried that getting old meant he couldn’t still use that “back of the bus” humour. Then he died before he got to really settle into his old man ways.
