Dude had great comedic timing. RIP.

I don't know if you've ever seen Fernwood 2 Night, but between him and Fred Willard, it's like a master class in comic timing.

As a kid I didn't understand the genius of Fernwood 2 Night but I remember my dad losing his shit he was laughing so hard

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I have not, and from what I just read on IMDB, it looks kinda like 30 Rock if it was produced 40 years prior. Also, appears to be on the Archive in its entirety.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I'd say closer to Comedy Bang Bang.

One of those dudes who you knew he was in something you loved, but never could remember quite which one. Because he was lovely and blended in every time.

RIP to a wonderful actor. I was looking at his Wikipedia page not that long ago.

They were really clever with inside jokes in Arrested Development.

The family eats mustard and Parmesan as a gag meant to refer to his role as Colonel Mustard.

Gene Parmesan also buys a knife from a shop next to a kids play place with a ball pit called “My Little Ballroom.”

You mean like Character Actress Margot Martindale?

[-] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 days ago

I think you mean Esteemed Character Actress and Fugitive from the Law Margot Martindale.

Don’t forget when Simon turned into jelly (Airplane! 2)

[-] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I'm confused. Do you think Chad Everett's character was played by Martin Mull or is there a joke I'm missing?

[-] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Oh damn. Swore it was him. Long day.
