Mel Brooks has passed the age of 100

I feel like this could be right up his ally for humor. Someone gets sad and the person reading the paper (specifically not the obits) is confused. "They've passed the age. They're 101 now."

    That comes from the Simpsons episode Hurricane Neddy. It's pretty good, you should watch it. I switched the word OP for Ned.

    So how many layers of explanation of this do you want because it's pretty out of character behavior for Ned and mostly i was agreeing with you.

    It is for example where the band Prune Tracy got their name (and i am so mad (not really) they got to it before me)

    Getting tired seeing comments like this nitpicking or asking for sources on fucking c/lemmyshitpost

    Are you new to the internet or just mentally challenged in general?

    Please don't be rude to people falling for exactly what I was aiming for. Multiple communities here and on Reddit exist for the very reason that many people don't look at the community name closely.

    P.S. I also can downvote comments, and can see that it was you who downvoted mine. You're exactly the kind of person reminding me why it's best to ignore any and all replies here and on Reddit.

    I read it wrong. I added an "at" in there. He content isnt available in the UK because its imgr or something so i had to google it and he is fine. I felt much better. You need a slap.

    Ironically, I had to use Imgur because Lemmy.world disallows posting and uploads via the VPN that I utilize, and direct upload chokes due to some stupid shit the regulator and providers around here are pulling.

    The way things in the Europes and the US are going, in a few years most Western VPNs will be of no avail for accessing the sites I want. We'll both have to VPN through Mexico or somesuch.

    Goddammit OP, fix your wording. I was really upset about his passing for a solid five minutes before I read another comment clarifying your post.
