Just happened a couple of hours ago, been released to the world.

Sad to see a good comedian go, loved his shows and movies too

At the age of 50, his death was due to complications of pneumonia that were found years ago.

The Chaos · 2008-08-09, 16:54

He Was Really Funny
I still Can't Believe He Died >_<

MindOnAir · 2008-08-09, 17:10

That is sad news...he was a good comedian. He left at a pretty young age too.

Cyz · 2008-08-09, 17:21

Yes, it's quite sad seeing a great comedian/actor go

wingdarkness · 2008-08-09, 17:40

I was distraught when I found this out...He has always been one of my favorite comedians...Eventhough some criticized him after he turned mainstream family-comedy (Coming from the Blue-comedy origins of Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, and others), I still thought he was able to blend his style which ultimately put him more on the map...His comedy shows were some of the funniest, stomach-aching, LOL sessions I could ever remember (His old stuff, during the time when he used to play bad-guy roles was the stuff of underground comedic legends)...I am deeply saddened and just plain pi$$ed I won't get another opportunity to enjoy his career...Damn I feel bad for all his fam and fans...

It just plain sucks is all...

AnimeFangirl · 2008-08-09, 17:42

W....WHAAAT? Bernie Mac? What, really? Seriously? ;________; I kinda liked him, even though I didn't find him all that funny. How sad. I'll say a prayer for his family. 50 is really far too young.

Aoie_Emesai · 2008-08-09, 18:14

I just saw this on NBC. Truly saddening for him to go out like this.

Claude · 2008-08-09, 18:18

I can't believe this, very unexpected... I don't watch the American news anymore so I never even knew until now.

Onchuu_Norin · 2008-08-09, 18:31

When I saw the article online, I was shocked. He was only 50. It caught me off guard. I remember him from Bad Santa. He was a really good comedian. May he rest in peace.

Takeru · 2008-08-09, 18:44

I ran into this a few hours ago on CNN, it is truely sad. I found him quite funny. And to go out at 50, that's far too young.

james0246 · 2008-08-09, 19:11

I saw the King of Comedy tour back in 1999-2000 (I forget the exact year), and Bernie Mac blew me away. His autobiographical humour (fueled by extreme forms of Self-deprecation that would do Rodney Dangerfield proud) was both exclusive and inclusive at once, wonderful timing, and great charisma marked his performance. RIP funny man, and my condolences to his family and friends.

Why God Always take the good one's. A very dark year in comedy.

**Solace** · 2008-08-10, 05:57

I was really saddened to hear this news. What a great comedian, even if his later movies weren't so great. He'll be missed.

But yeah it's been a harsh year.

Zoned87 · 2008-08-10, 05:59

Just because people are famous does not change the fact that they are human.

Everyone dies eventually, no matter how famous they are or how much money they have.

True. But that doesn't make the contributions of said people any less memorable. And if you liked what they contributed, you're saddened that they won't be able to contribute more.

We all die. But it still sucks.

escimo · 2008-08-10, 06:08

Noooo!

Yet another really funny comedian moving to heavenly stages.
Sad to see him go.

Mr. DJ · 2008-08-10, 06:09

I got kinda upset at a co-worker when she couldn't understand that you don't have to know someone on a personal level to miss them.

konstargirl · 2008-08-10, 09:15
