          I think his sense of humor is a little more fucking refined, my friend.

              … Genuine question: what was the pun?

              I have been considered an honorary dad due to my DadHumor, and I can’t find one.

                I think the pun is that “Sick Man Died” sounds vaguely like / rhymes with Dick van Dyke.

                Spoiler: it’s not a very good pun.

                  Well, you’re certainly correct in your assessment of the pun’s quality.

                  I’m not a fan of slant rhyme even when it’s close, so it’s even less effective on me I guess.

                  Thank you for the explanation, it now makes sense.

            Ehhh, I’m not so sure about that. DVD has been joking all year that it would be hilarious if he died Dec 10-12 so that he just barely didn’t make it.

            I will agree there’s a difference between DVD joking about it, and some rando.

    I saw a video of him a month or so ago where he said it would be hilarious if he died before he got to 100, just because people are making a big deal out of it. Here’s a video of him dancing about a year ago in a Coldplay video, if you haven’t seen it and would like to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4OlL0OpbW8

      Very few better choices. Mr. Rogers, Dolly Parton, Betty White, LeVar Burton, maybe a few others as contenders (I know some of them have already passed).

          The thing is, he plays 2 different roles in the film, and Mr Dawes’s accent isn’t nearly as offensive.
