RIP Dom DeLuise

Wow, there was enough interest in that to put it on DVD? It was an NBC response to All in the Family that lasted just a season, I think. Anyhoo, RIP to a man who usually transcended the material he had to deal with.

 

Exactly...

 

Any statement yet from Burt Reynolds? Those two had to be one of the more unlikely comic pairings of all time.

 

Funny dude. Thought he was at his best with Mel Brooks.

 

RIP. Dom.
In his honor, we all will now do The French Mistake.

Voila!

 

What a sad loss. He was one of the funniest men on screen for a long time. I always thought he was funniest as Ceasar.

 

Dom, Jerry Reed and Suzanne Pleshette... in the movie Hot Stuff... one of my favorites for it's hilarity through bad humor... Dom getting hi on pot was a highlight scene from that flick, eating everything in sight afterward.

RIP to a very funny man

 

RIP to the genius who taught us the joy of shoving a couple Reese's inside a donut and microwaving it. (See FATSO for further instructions.)

 

This was the first thing that came to mind...strangely

 

Holy crap I just had a flashback to early 1980-something. That was one of those movies that was seemingly shown on a loop on Showtime. I must've seen it 20 times, but not for 25 years or so. Funniest movie ever -- when I was 10.

 

Hopefully, if you saw it again today, you'd still laugh. I know I would... and I've seen it a bunch of times.

 

I saw that movie plenty of times, and would enjoy it just as much if I saw it today. Wow, hard to believe Reed, Pleshette and DeLuise have now all passed.

Another role most people don't remember was a movie he did with Reynolds called "The End." It was dark comedy in which Reynolds finds out he has a fatal disease and would rather kill himself. DeLuise played a mental patient that Reynolds' character hires to kill him. It's one of his better performances.

RIP to one of my family's favorites.
