RIP Bernie Mac

thanks for making us all laugh

seventh???????

RIP amigo.

He was one funny mutherfucker...may the sonofabitch bring the house down in heaven

He's lighting up in heaven now, where it ain't no sinny-sin-sin

Oh 4 christ sake a really good guy died and u guys have to go all "first" on it!? not cool man. R.I.P Bernie.

It seems everyone is dying in 2008, Heath, George Carlin, Cameron Diaz´s father, Tim Russet,...

The sad part is that more people will probably die before the year ends. Even ---gasp--- unfamous people. I never saw Bernie's work, but it's always sad when young people die. He must have been a good guy because non of you degenerates have ripped him yet.

P.S. I want to see more pictures of Woody Allen's tits.

Make that "Lily Allen's tits."

Listen up punks. A class act has passed away and all you losers care about is who is first on this site? You must live pathetic lives is if this is what makes your day.

14th

I just watched Oceans 13 again and Bernie Mack was again the great comic. Bernie I'll miss you. Make Isaac Hayes laugh when you enter the pearly gates.

This is heartbreaking, Bernie Mac RIP

AW SHIT! Now he won't be in Charlie's Angels 3!

@8 Amen to that

It's been a damn rough weekend for some seriously great men. RIP BM!

sad to die that way, but pfft he was a funny as my sweaty jock strap

#20

always remember. no one cares what you think.

RIP Bernie Mac. You made the Oceans movies what they were.

He was hilarious as the court clerk on Night Court. I liked his dry, witty humor.

How did Bernie Mac die? Is he really dead? I just read about this on Special Report and it seems that a lot of prank calls were made about him being dead, and others saying that he was not dead? What's the real story? http://specialreport.com/did-bernie-mac-die/

Special Reports

listen up America. Bernie Mac is about celebration, not mourning.
R.I.P. Bernie
He lives on the same golf course as me.

'I hate your black skin. I hate your black pants. I hate black pepper. I hate black keys on a piano. I hate my gums, because they're black. I hate Whoopi Goldberg's *lips*. I hate the back of Forrest Whittaker's neck. Huh? Most of all, I hate that black-ass Wesley Snipes.'

ahh bernie, what a shame, RIP there big fella

don't take samuel l jackson next :(

you great man wiil always be remememberd.r.i.p bm

@21

your a bigger joke than any mac ever told. and to prove it you opened your mouth. fucking tool

That is awful loss! He is such a talent acotor. I learned his death from celebrity guys at Richromances.com. He will be missed very much by many people. My prayers goes out to his family.

Why are all the black guys dieing? lol

jesus son of mary you ppl are dicks.

one actor dies and your all your tearing up.

11 solders have died this week in iraq
13 died last month 29 the month before.

send your prays out to those family's and stop being little girls about celebs kicking it. The guy lived a life you all dream of, wanted for nothing and all the cash he had still couldn't keep him alive. boohooo

33, It's their fault for being stupid enough to be in the army.

RIP

@34 "Guy"

Your a f*cking a$$h0le, think about what you just said you dumb f*ck

If no one is going to mention "Bad Santa" I might as well do it. He was hilarious in that movie.

RIP

RIP Bernie Mac..I was honestly surprised at this awful news. Really he was a funny guy and will be missed.

On a side note, aren't thousands dying in Russia at the moment? Shit aren't thousands dying worldwide everyday? why the fuck aren't any of you blogging about them? It's sad Bernie died...really it's a shame...but thousands die each day...to shit that the world can prevent.

you know what, as not to be a hypocrite...fuck dead people. A shit ton of people die every fucking day, to single out a celebrity as if their death is more meaningful is just down right disgusting. Fuck everyone not recognizing the horrible state of the world every fucking moment! Fuck you thinking celebrity news is more important than the news out front!

fuck you.

sorry Bernie.

Congratulation, Bernie, on becoming the only type of nigger that's good (dead).

"Officer Self Hatred: You ain't so tough now, little nigga. I hate your black bastards, you *stink*! I hate your black skin. I hate your black pants. I hate black pepper. I hate black keys on a piano. I hate my gums, because they're black. I hate Whoopi Goldberg's *lips*. I hate the back of Forrest Whittaker's neck. Huh? Most of all, I hate that black-ass Wesley Snipes. "

RIP

@#38: My cousin shot himself in the head two months ago. The cancer in his jaw was eating him alive and he couldn't eat without being intubated anymore, so he laid a tarp in his backyard and shot himself in the mouth with a revolver. His wife found him. Is that not a tragedy of epic proportions? Why isn't everyone blogging about him? Why aren't people trying to find a cure for cancer instead of caring about Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes dying of mundane system failures?

Because we can only care about so many things at once. And a lot of people know who Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes (and George Carlin, and Heath Ledger) were. No one knew who my cousin in North Carolina was except his family. No one knows who the victims of atrocities the world over are except their families. This is a celebrity news blog, not a political action/save the oppressed peoples of the world blog. If you think it's so goddamn stupid to blog about the deaths of celebrities, why don't you spend your time at news/political sites that actually do give a shit about the deaths of people the world over, instead of here?

Put your web browser where your mouth is, hypocrite.

Your cousin was weak. And there's no excuse for doing it (pussying out and killing himself) in a way that traumatizes his wife when she finds him. Although I'm guessing that, overall, it was mostly positive for her.

Damn, Bernie Mac was one dark-skinned black man. Someone call L'Oreal and have them do their magic (it worked for Beyonce).

@#42: Until you have terminal cancer eating your FACE, you can STFU. Then maybe you can talk about others being weak for doing whatever the fuck they choose to do in that situation.

Uh...ok. I'll cancel that "Profiles in Courage" episode then. Loser. (your cousin, too)

@#45: You do that, then. It's cute how you think I give a shit.

Bernie Mac is laughing at you honkeys fighting on his thread.

GOd rest his soul in peace... Kind-hearted, amazingly talented husband, father, human.... He will be dearly missed

Love you Bernie! You will be missed greatly. RIP

Listen Up America, (Mac's words) he was funny and probably a decent guy. Married 30 years, his family will miss him. I enjoyed his show. RIP. Bless his family, they still hurt and mourn their loss like the rest of us. A husband/father is gone.

@#47: LOL, yeah, he probably is.

Once again, RIP Bernie... sorry I hijacked your death-thread! :-(

Sure, he was "funny" when you put a crowd of laughing like hyenas, falling all over themselves like children, shouting-back black fools out in the audience. There are a variety of knock-knock jokes that will having kindergarteners cracking up, and you can always save "Interrupting Cow" for the encore. Bernie Mac had his audience, which is fine, and he made them almost as happy as the day they accidentally got their neighbor's welfare check as well as their own. But let's not confuse any of that with actual talent. When he died, there was no real loss.

#52 - (crickets)

@#52: You might have had a point... if you weren't a piece-of-shit racist. =P

Very sad to learn this. RIP Bernie, u were a funny guy!

@#54: "It's cute how you think I give a shit."

@#56: Now that's an intelligent comment! Good for you! LOL

My sincerest condolescents go out to the family of Bernie Mac. He was a great entertainer and he will be missed.

To comment no. 43:

you dumb FUCK, no one cares about your unsubtle and shitty attempts at racism.

We go 42 comments without any real talk about his blackness, and you just have to pop up.

Well why don't you go find Bernie and crack that joke to him in person, and see how he takes it? I think Mr Mac knew a few things about jokes, maybe he could be a good judge of your humor if you don't trust my judgement.

In doing so, you'd be ridding us of a parasite like you. Fool, have some respect for the dead.

I find this weird. Bernie Mac was exactly 8 days older than my mama, who passed away at 50 in March. My prayers are with his family. No matter what status anyone has, death hits hard on any family.

RIP Bernie Mac

you'll be missed, B...

I am so sad. Bernie was a classy guy and amazing talent. l always laugh when he says 'Sweet Jews for Jesus' in Bad Santa. That and 'This ain't no prix fix' lol.

RIP Bernie Mac, and thank you for always making me smile.

Oh and to the assholes with the who cares about celebrities shit-people care because they are familiar with him, he entertained us, and he was an amazing success story. IT'S SAD! It doesn't mean other people dying isn't -we just don't know about them personally so you can't feel for it on a personal level.

So Lamont finally joint Fred Sanford and Lizabeth up in the big junkyard in the sky

RIP Bernie

This crack epidemic is getting out of control

I found his cheap attempts at humor grating, but he seemed like a decent enough fellow.

This is very saddening. He was awesome in Booty Call, quite seriously. RIP.

Sure, Bernie dies and everyone is shitting bricks but Sean Faris is stabbed to death and nobody cares. http://iliveoverthere.blogspot.com/2008/08/word-on-street.html

R.I.P BERNIE MAC.

Suge Knight had something to do with this, guaranteed

RIP Bernie just saw u in Bad Santa. hilarious

"the man likes fucking large women, but that's not a crime"

I've rarely posted anything serious on this site,
but
some of you are real assholes. This man was funny...but more than that, he was a devoted father and husband (something really nice to see after all the Edwards' crap over the weekend), and he seems like he was a genuinely nice guy.

Many of you get on these boards to spout loads of shit that you'd never have the courage to say to someone's face. So just remember, when you're posting your nonsense, that you aren't edgy, or racist, or shocking...you're just a coward hiding behind a computer screen.

"This man was funny...but more than that, he was a devoted father and husband (something really nice to see after all the Edwards' crap over the weekend), and he seems like he was a genuinely nice guy."

yeeeeah, sure. Howsabout this - clean up your own shit first (the epidemic of black kids being raised by moms and grandmothers after "dad" skips out), and then go after white men for having affairs while providing for their families. I won't hold my breath while I wait.

he was fuckin hilarious ... this is really a shame. rip

yeeeeah, sure. Howsabout this - clean up your own shit first (the epidemic of black kids being raised by moms and grandmothers after "dad" skips out), and then go after white men for having affairs while providing for their families. I won't hold my breath while I wait.

Malcolm...I'm not sure what his has to do with anything. Bernie Mac was a devoted husband. Period. It's refreshing to see someone in the public eye who is faithful to their spouse. What does race have to do with being a good family man? Unfortunately, you are clearly one of those people who want to divide everything into black and white: the black's should clean up their problems first and then we can deal with the white assholes.

And who cares if Edwards was providing financially for his family? I'd rather have a husband who was unemployed and faithful then someone who could buy me anything I wanted but was cheating. Please. What a load of crap.

Oh, and Malcolm (73)...what about cleaning up my own shit? How quick you were, when I said Mac was a nice guy, to assume that I was black. I'm not...I'm a white woman who happens to NOT decide everyone's worth based on the colour of their skin (as you do).

Truly a class act..RIP Bernie...You will be GREATLY missed!

@#34: You are a fucking retarded piece of shit!! You wouldn't know what it's like to "serve". Are you a piece of Soviet trash? Stop bashing the people who serve this country with pride. You, my friend, should be taken out in the middle of the street and allowed to be run over by a semi truck.
You are NOT American. Fuck you!

I hate to be an asshole, because I love Bernie Mac, but doesn't anyone have a clue? Nobody under the age of like 75 has died from JUST pneumonia since Hoover was president. Think, people...what disease would one need to have that would cause pneumonia and then death? Think immune deficiency.

One of just a few colored celebs that are worthwhile. R.I.P.

Once you got on a ventilator, your chance of survival is extremely low. This happened to my dad who had a similar lung condition and he survived 2 weeks on the ventilator.

@33 our hearts go out to all the killed soilders out there, and as well as the innocent suvillians. We still should give our condolences to Bernie's family and celebrate his life. It's still so unbelievable to me. If you ask me it's hard and sad to see anyone go at such an early age.

@79 yes Bernie Mac had gone into remission for sarcoidosis in which he had lumps of cells that form in his body's organs. His immune system was indeed weak.

#79... you aren't suggesting AIDS?

Why, yes, #79, you are an asshole. Mac had sarcoidosis, which is an autoimmune disease; but it is NOT AIDS (nor does it have anything to do with being transmitted by any kind of sexuality).

You are perhaps living under a rock.

Actually, #82, it's really sad to see someone spell civilians as suvillians.

Do you not pay attention to spell check? Or did you think spell check was wrong and your spelling was correct? Either way, funniest comment yet (despite the fact that the hilarity was unintentional). Please tell me you're ten.

Rip Bernie Mac, you were one of the greatest of all time. you will be missed. My prayers go out to the family Bernie Mac Family!!!! May God Bless You All.

To the Bernie Mac Family, Hold on to God's unchanging hands. God will direct your path and ease your pain. Read Psalm 23 chapter. He is still with you and Remember how he made you laugh and the good times. He will be missed. And he won't be forgotten. R.I.P Bernie Mac

Pneumonia, sarcoidosis...isn't that code for AIDS?

BTW G_Mama @88 do you think you God can direct Hayden Panetiere's tongue down the path to my cock? I think that's Psalm 24.

IAM REAL GONE MISS BERNIE MAC THAT WAS A FUNNY AZZ MAN I REAL LIKE IT WHEN HE KEEP IT REAL LIKE ME I WISH GOD HAVE TO TAKE HIM SO SOON I WAS WISH TO WORK WITH HIM SOME DAY DAMN IAM REAL GONE MISS THAT GUY '' RIP'' BERNIE MAC AKA OLD ''G''

@86 I'll admit that Im not the best speller in the world by any means, but this isn't about spelling and grammer. It's about giving recognition to our deceased. When people realize that having one of the highest IQs, or being rich isn't what life is really about the epiphany will hit them like a ton of bricks. Since Im not all that great at spelling and grammer Im not taking up education as my major. Im really good at helping to take care of people, and so my major is nursing. I know enough to be able to do my job in that field. I bet there isn't a person out there in the world who doesn't have flaws in their spelling and grammer skills. Anyhow I was just trying to make a point of celebrating the lives of our deceased. You don't seem to care too much about our deceased soilders or any of our deceased if your major concern is my spelling/grammatical errors.

I used to secretly masterbate to Bernie Mac while watching Oceans 11, 12, and 13...for that I am ashamed and thats why i called him a bad word. I would like to apologize to everyone here for my bad behavior.

Forgive me...i'm just poor insignificant white trash that's jealous this guy's sunglass have a higher net worth than my family 3 generations deep.

*emo silence*

You people are disgusting and pathetic. This is someone's father, brother, son, and best friend. Forget how you feel about their race -- respect them as a human being and keep your faul opinions to yourself for this one time. Jesus.

Bernie Mac was a great comedian - actor, but most of all he was a husband of thirty years to one woman give the man some credit he deserve it. I hope he lived a righteous life before the LORD, if not I sincerely hope he repented and asked for forgiveness for any wrong he may have ever done. Really he will be missed, but the only thing that matters now is If the Lord is pleased with his life. My prayers do go out to his family and any other families who have lost a love one.

TO THE GUY WHO THINK THAT PEOPLE IN THE ARMY THAT ARE GETTING KILLED OVER THIS STUPID WAR IF THEY DID NOT DO IT WHO WOULD PROTECT YOUR SORRY ASS. MY KIDS ARE IN AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS SEND YOU OUR THERE AND MAKE YOU SERVE AND JUST THEN MAYBE YOU WILL SEE WHO IS SERVEING AND PROTECTING YOUR DUMB @#$%^&*

First I would like to say to the Mac. family is that IM sorry for they lost. Bernie will be miss. I know he's in heaven smiling. May the lord Bless the entire Mac family. Rest in Peace!

First I would like to say to the Mac. family is that IM sorry for they lost. Bernie will be miss. I know he's in heaven smiling. May the lord Bless the entire Mac family. Rest in Peace!

thank you so much for everything you gave to the TV & standup world. We love you & we will always miss you. God Bless you & may you rest in peace.

I am just now getting to this site. From reading some of the things, I'm glad I waited!

I was diagnosed with pulmonary and spinal sarcoidosis a little over a year and a half ago. It is not aids...get real and get informed before start acting/saying stuff you know NOTHING about!

The first round of chemo didn't do anything good for me. It is an awful illness that many know little about. Which could explain the assinine things that were written.

Quit being a stupid *#&* and google it before you open your pie hole about it. Sarcoidosis=aids? Give me a break!

popogejo

What is wrong with some of you people. It is no mystery our society needs to focus more on education. I was cruising around looking at sites and came across this because I am watching Ocean's 11. First of all - Bernie Mac rocks and will be missed dearly by his family. You idiots making racial slurs and jokes need to grow up. A man died and this is how you show your maturity, or lack thereof. I am in full support of our troops, and thank them every chance I get. To mock someone's suicide and call them weak is one of the most pathetic things I have EVER witnessed. Do the world a favor - don't ever think or speak again - honestly I would kick the sh*t out of you if I knew you. I was so sickened by the lack of class some of you showed on this site, I had to say something. I don't normally write on these things, and frankly I don't care about celebrities either - something had to be said about the pure lack of tact some of you children displayed here. If that is how you act - don't be surprised when no one shows up or even cries at your funeral - you don't deserve the attention - this is all you will ever get. So hide behind your computers attempting to be funny when all you are is a scared loser with no social skills or self-confidence.

Thanks for making us laugh Bernie!!

thank you so much for everything , RIP
