R.I.P. Pep Pep

Comedy lost a great man on the morn of June 4 (my birthday, dangit!). The passings of Gary Coleman, Dennis Hopper, the bassist from Slipknot, the old woman whose not Betty White, and the other lost celebrities pale in comparison to the loss of Richard Dunn. The Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! regular was the reason I got so hooked on the show. Let us take a look at the best of the great Dicky Dunn...

First, lets enjoy his very last sketch.


In Shot Dunn, we see Richard playing a game of Word Association with a lovely lady. A classic! Also, I love that reggae!


After not appearing on the first few episodes of Season Cinco, Richard made his triumphant return in this classic sketch, where he has to judge the final round of a contest to see whose more handsome, Tim or Eric. His mouth is dirty!


In Dunn-prov, there are several Richard's!


Perhaps, the most well known Dunn clip(s), The Dunngeon. In which Richard speaks with Dave Navarro and two boys from Germany. The real question is whether or not Dave was in on the joke...



And finally, my favorite. Dunn in "Whistle"


R.I.P. Richard. We'll miss you.

R.I.P. Test

Andrew Martin, best known to WWF/E fans as Test has passed away.

He was only 33 years old. He last wrestled in TNA under the name "The Punisher" but they didn't keep him around because rumors were he was pretty doped up on steroids. I never really believe that to be the case, as he never looked unnaturally ripped like so many wrestlers these days. It's a shame, he was a much better talent than he was ever given credit for. His last stint got him close to the main event of WWE's ECW program.

The cause of death has yet to be determined, so we'll see whether or not prescription drugs had anything to do with this loss.

R.I.P. Mitch Mitchell

For those unaware Mitch Mitchell passed away today. For those unaware Mitchell was the drummer of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Him and the late bassist Noel Redding are two of the most underrated musicians of all time and let's all just give Mr. Mitchell a moment of silence, or a moment of listening to any of the Experience albums.

Listen to "Manic Depression" if you have any doubt that Mitchell (and Redding as well) were on par with Hendrix musically.
