RIP Thread

[Stephanie Bustcakes]

No mention of "The Thing"?

 

[Titos]

F, he was great in The Thing.

 

[WonderWino]

So are they going to play this at his funeral?

 

[Joe Swanson]

F

 

[Penis]

He picked a good time to bail

 

[Getting tard comed]

Just watched him in The Firm and he was excellent. A good character actor that was underrated.

F for Respect.

 

[Thomas Talus]

I know him mostly from the scene in Absence of Malice where he lays down the law like a deus ex machina.

 

[Inflatable Julay]

I don't know if it's more surprising that he was still alive or more surprising that he actually died

One of my favorite bits.

Watch "The Natural" again, and then realize Brimley was only two years older than Redford.

"Won't get any older, won't ever die" -Wilford Brimley Cocoon

Thanks for the decades long snark amongst my siblings.

RIP

Wilford Brimley had one of the best mustaches in Hollywood.
Not even Steven Segal would come close in current day.

The world has lost a true ancient meme legend to the wrath of the 'beetus at last.

May songs of direct order diabetic supplies sing thee to thy rest.

Pouring out a Coke in honor of our homeboy. F

 

[Bagronkleton]

Gonna have to have a late night bowl a'cold beetus in memory of the Brimley.

A favorite from some odd years ago

Watch "The Natural" again, and then realize Brimley was only two years older than Redford.

He was prematurely aged for Cocoon. He was actually twenty years younger than most of his elderly co-stars, and only eleven years older than his screen daughter. He's one of those people who stuck looking like one age, in his case years before he actually was that old.

Calling him the Oatmeal guy worried me, though, because it made me think of the cartoonist first. Diabeetus definitely comes to mind for Wilford Brimley ads before anything else, for me.

Now I'm just trying to imagine a 6 year old boy being called Wilford. He didn't just have a quintessential old man face, he had a quintessential old man name as well.

Rip John Hume, didn't give two balls of roasted snow what the Brits or the IRA thought about him.
