RIP Patrice O'Neal

[MisterCreosote]

Sad end for one of my favorite comedians, who was only 41:

I saw him live once in North Jersey, and he was one of the funniest mother****ers I've ever seen. Also loved him when I used to listen to Opie and Anthony.

RIP.

I was afraid this was how it would turn out.

I always laughed at him, mostly because he always seemed to have a smile lurking. Not a mean comic, but a funny as hell one.

RIP, Patrice.

RIP to a guy who put Gallagher where be belongs one day on Opie and Anthony.

His "Dammit Michael!" after Michael Scott knocked over the shelves in the warehouse was one of thefunniest moments in The Office's history.

 

[Bob Cook]

His "Web Junk" show on VH1 was high-larious.

I've been waiting for this thread for a few weeks. I remember hearing Amy Schumer talking about him having a stroke on Stern's show.

I saw him at the Comedy Cellar about a decade ago. The guy was freaking hilarious.

Very sad... RIP.

His last special "Elephant In The Room" was brilliant.

RIP, Patrice.

That was a great scene. RIP Sea Monster.

When I saw him at the Comedy Cellar, he was just working out material and he had a notebook in front of him, which is completely normal in that kind of setting... This guy sitting up front was giving him grief and Patrice said, "You want to see me work without a notebook? Come pay $50 and see me in Atlantic City." They went back and forth for about 10 minutes and it was just funny as all hell... The madder he got the funnier he got.

He had one of the greatest laughs known to man. Every time he would fill in for Norton on O&A, he brought the goods. This really sucks. RIP.

On Stern they asked Schumer if she felt bad about making all of the diabetes jokes about him at the Sheen roast. She said she didn't even though she was devastated about the news of his stroke.

Damn. That blows.

O&A will undoubtedly have Norton, Bob Kelly, Colin Quinn, etc. on tomorrow - and for an extended amount of time, they'll **** on him. It's just what great comics do.

And at the next roast, they'll be guessing which one of them will die before the next one...

Became familiar with him as a regular panelist on "Tough Crowd".

Hilarious.

RIP

The brain behind one of my all-time favorite YouTube clips.

My wife and I saw Norm MacDonald in concert in October at a casino and O'Neal was playing across the hall later in the evening. Norm said he was heading over there and encouraged everyone in the crowd to do so. Should have done that. Damn.

 

[StaggerLee]

One of the funniest, underrated comics out there. Never quite got to be a mainstream guy, but deserved to be up there with those guys. He's hilarious and incredibly quick-witted.

Gonna be missed.

Tomorrow's O&A show will be radio gold.

 

[DanOregon]

Funny, funny guy. Sad.

That was such a great show...
