I wouldn’t make a joke about Joan Rivers because its my suspicion that she probably told all the best jokes about herself already. Even though I’ve nil interest in entertainment news or red carpet stuff, I really admired her sense of humor about herself and her work ethic.
Ground buzz in Hollywood is that she was tolerated but despised, and this is a sentiment I’ve heard for quite some time. You want a great summary, watch her pimp slap Kathy Griffin after being forced to sit there for an hour and take all the shit she spent decades dishing out. She was a terrible person to a lot of people.
This thread title is fucking flawless, by the way.
She was funny and innovative in her early career, and she never lived in fear over hurting anybody’s pussy ass feelings. All rare qualities in today’s society.
One of my favorite comedians. Her and Roseanne were trail blazers in their profession. I don’t think there is a single female comedian out there that doesn’t sight them as inspiration.
She was amazingly funny, charming and loved that she made people laugh for a living. Whether at her or with her.
Hey, dawg, can you like, ease up on the whole Reaper of Souls thing for the rest of this year? I mean, you already took Uncle Phil, Genie, Ultimate Warrior, and Maverick, in addition to countless others.
Although if you were to remove Drake or Justin Beiber from existence, I might call it even.
Oh shit, she died in the hospital I was born in. Now I’m sad…
Joan Rivers quote this thread reminded me of: “When I die (and yes, Melissa, that day will come; and yes, Melissa, everything’s in your name), I want my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action. I want Craft services, I want paparazzi and I want publicists making a scene! I want it to be Hollywood all the way. I don’t want some rabbi rambling on; I want Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents. I don’t want a eulogy; I want Bobby Vinton to pick up my head and sing ‘Mr. Lonely.’ I want to look gorgeous, better dead than I do alive. I want to be buried in a Valentino gown and I want Harry Winston to make me a toe tag. And I want a wind machine so that even in the casket my hair is blowing just like Beyonce’s.”
