Dude Johnny was such a funny guy, the world keeps losing the funniest fucking people over the last 5 years.

Sean Lock, Bob Saget, Norm MacDonald, Gilbert Gottfried, how many more did I miss?

Pee Wee last week. Say what you will but Paul Reubens doesn't get enough credit.

Those are all amazing members of my sad but long list, but also the INCREDIBLE Trevor Moore, Louie Anderson (I loved him so much), Ron Sexton (Donnie Baker character on Bob and Tom), PAUL REUBENS, Betty White, Jerry Stiller, and that's just going back to 2020 for my personal favorites list.

And then of course, like dozens of funny people that aren't as big on my own radar. Gallagher gets honorable mention even though I never thought he was that funny myself, he was certainly an icon.

10/10 for the INCREDIBLE Trevor Moore.

I watch all of WKUK yearly out of habit. I think he was a genius taken far too young.

Paul Reubens.

I can't believe this is how I found out

Yeah, my dad text me last night saying "the late great Dale Gribble" and nothing else and I'm like "am I missing something?" And googled it and bam

So fricken sand.

(It is sad though. Shame he had to leave us so soon)

This is canon.

I prefer to bribe with full-size Snickers.
