Christmas Ape & Gladys, the Groovy Mule will have to be Albuquerque's draft picks next season in ZFL.

Wow, that's right. I was in L.A. to try out for Jeopardy on that day.

Of all the untimely celebrity deaths this was the one that hit me the hardest and always manages to make me depressed.

Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz were two of my favorite characters on the Simpsons.

My sentiments exactly. Most seem to be caused by their own demons this one was someone else's which makes it harder to take I think.

thesloppy · 05-28-2008, 08:09 PM

Don't you worry Mrs' Simpson, I watched Matlock in a bar last night....the sound wasn't on, but I think I got the jist of it.

Phil Hartman was a comedic genius more in the classical sense than in the modern sense. Not much of that around

SI

Horizon · 05-29-2008, 06:16 AM

Sorry, but I believe if you commit Adultery you deserve to die. See you in Hell Phil.

Something tells me Hartman is not cheating on his wife where he is now.

jeff061 · 05-29-2008, 07:18 AM

Hah, sarcastic genius! Great post Horizon.

Neon_Chaos · 05-29-2008, 07:31 AM

"If any of this is frightening, you can hold on to me."

"They're dancing Raisinets..."

"And you don't find that frightening?"

You are terribly missed, Phil.

I think his wife had every right to gun him down for sleeping around on her. What is so hard about understanding what "Till Death" means?

Neon_Chaos · 05-29-2008, 07:55 AM

Riiiiight.

-apoc- · 05-29-2008, 09:14 AM

What affair are you even talking about? Anything I have ever read basically says his wife was on a drug cocktail and lost it one night after she found out he was going to leave her because of her drug problem. I know it the net but try to show just a little class.

That was closer my understanding. Though I thought she was actually insane, as in clinically. But I don't follow these things terribly closely.

This is accurate. She responded by accusing him of having an affair and killing him. It was a very tragic end to one of America's great comedic talents.

Wow, what a retard this Horizon character is.

Hartman's wife was taking Zoloft at the time of the murder/suicide. She was crazy and snapped one night.

Forgot how good Hartman's Bubba impression was. Extremely funny stuff.

14ers · 05-29-2008, 03:00 PM

Am I mistaken or did the writers of the Simpsons load all the Phil Hartman characters up on a bus and drive them off a cliff in an episode following his death?

gkb · 05-29-2008, 03:04 PM

I really liked News Radio when Phil was on it...and of course his Simpson's stuff was great. Has it really been 10 years? Jesus.

I could really care less about his simpsons work, but I miss his excellence on Newsradio and SNL. Very untimely death.

I always get a little sad watching Futurama and seeing the Zapp Brannigan character, which was obviously created with Phil Hartman in mind. He would have done the voice had it not been for his death. Billy West does a nice job with it but Hartman would have knocked it out of the park.

I still watch NewsRadio on DVD and he was absolutely nails in that show.
