  • what a miserable old cunt. nobody will miss him

  • @thepickletrain You sir have writen yourself on my death list. Nobody will miss him? Well if millions of people don't count then i guess so.

    If you see me across the street it would be in your best intrest to flee.

  • @TheIcelandicPatriot aw, you called me sir.

  • @thepickletrain Any man is a sir but not every man is a gentleman.

  • @TheIcelandicPatriot Not according to the queen

  • @thepickletrain As much as i respeact the queen the ways outside of England work differently.

    For example i can call someone mister or a sir and it makes little difference.

    Although to actually have the "Sir" tittle is a great honor to have.

    Long live the queen and rule Britannia.

  • grumpy old fart

  • @1995nineteen

    you're an idiot

  • @1995nineteen what an immature comment. He was a charming, intelligent man, who was a prolific writer and commentator of the most mundane aspects of life. If you are too young and immature to understand that go away. I'd like to see you at his age

  • @PabloSanFran a charming intelligent man?! he insulted kurt cobain right after his suicide, not too smart if you ask me. he also has no sense of humour, when ali g interviewed him he nearly had a heart attack.

  • @1995nineteen how did he insult kurt cobain? ali g interviewing an 80+ year old man? ..not a fit I'd have a heart attack too

  • @PabloSanFran insulted cobains lyrics, and moaned that the death of nixon was overshadowed by the death of cobain. nixon was one of the worst presidents america has ever had, after bush. why does he prefer a corrupt asshole like nixon to a wonderful creative artist like kurt?

  • @1995nineteen not to mention nixon was also an anti-semetic little bigot as well

  • RIP  Andy

  • "Although, if you do see me in restaurant please just let me eat my dinner" lol

  • Crappy writer.

  • andy rooneys cousing called me and my friends badass

  • im talking to his 3rd cousin right now on playstation 3 !!!!!!!!

  • Rest in peace, Andy.

  • i wil missl your words Andy thank you for all that you said

  • An actual STARGATE/PORTAL-THING was caught on film in New Mexico. The footage can be found within the short-film entitled "SUDDEN PORTHOLE", which is parked at the PROJECT CAMELOT YouTube page (it's under the George Noory video).

    I'm not selling anything…I'm just trying to spread the word about the unseen-dimensions we find ourselves embedded in.

    My BLOG contains peripheral data regarding the movie and is where I reply to the "debunkers" (use search words "SAM ZURICK" & "BLOG"). THANKS!!

  • Bodybuilder Mike Matarazzo didn't die--he was hiding out in Andy Rooney's eyebrows. Now that Andy Rooney died, Mike Matarrazo is ready to get back into full fledge bodybuilding competition.

  • Andy had something we're all sadly lacking in....common sense. Its too bad he didn't get to enjoy retirement. 

  • What was so great about this asshole? He'd blather about the most inane shit, and still considered himself "a writer."

    When it came to Iraq, he said, "I don't think my country should have fought this war, but now that it's started, I hope we win it"-----that right there shows what kind of morals this old gas-bag had. That's like saying, "I wish my dad hadn't robbed that bank, but since he chose to, I hope he gets away with it!"

    Fuck you Andy Rooney, you were out of touch and worthless.

  • @ModernPlague troll

  • @ModernPlague what the fuck have you done with your life. Ur a worthless loser, Rooney was a great newscaster and a household American Icon. Seriously, do the world a favor and jump in front of a moving bus, because unlike Andy Rooney, you've done nothing with your worthless waste of life.

    and don't bother starting a war with me, I wont respond, faggot

  • @ModernPlague I agreed with Andy. Of course we should of never gone into that war, but once in it - hope we win..and so far we have. What's so crazy about that? He said it plainly and to the point. Why the F.U. comment is beyond me. He was a prolific american writer with a unique sense of humor and I could not agree with him more in his opinions about Iraq

  • I was surprised to find myself across a table from Andy & his wife in 1986. A drunken evening passed & I teased him about how he got onto 60 minutes. His wife, who apparently hated him, told me, and what she said is too shocking to repeat. Casting couch kind of stuff, and . . . well, it was nasty. I was surprised to hear he praises her here this way. She seemed to detest him & said what she did to a stranger? (Me?)

  • What a great guy!

  • Good old Andy Rooney. You've certainly said what's on your mind through the years and I've often marvelled at your frankness. We need more folks like you. Rest in Peace and may god richly bless you as you journey home! God be with you!

  • rip brah...aloha

  • The world was better for having known you. Thank you and RIP.

  • Such a great man!!! Great example to follow...thank you!

  • This is so sad to watch now.

  • i am so grateful to have watched and listened to andy rooney commentaries in my life. He will be missed

  • What a crummy way to go - complications from minor surgery. Pity, he won't get to complain about the lousy job the hospital did.

  • RIP Andy Rooney. Enjoyed his commentaries, he was so true on a lot of stuff. Probably the best part of 60 Minutes, it won't be the same.

  • such an icon. RIP

  • america's favorite grumpy old man.

  • He was great. He was sometimes an arsehole and he knew it, but he was not without care or understanding. He was at times disrespectful, both on screen and in person- but it was never without purpose or TRUTH which he embodied in full. RIP Mr. Rooney, you were sometimes painful- but always painfully true. Your words or demeanor were never as hurtful as knowing we'll never see you or read your words until we meet on the other side. Take care, screen friend.

  • His commentaries had a very wide appeal, i recall being 10 watching 60 minutes with my mother, and finding his commentary segements interesting. rip andy.

  • One of my FEW heroes....

  • What a heart felt sincere, conclusion...and the ending was superbly classic Andy..."just let me eat my dinner"!!

  • I will miss you Andy Rooney,thank you for the complaints.

  • "A writers' job is to tell the truth. I believe that if all the truth were known about everything in the world it would be a better place to live."

    RIP Andy Rooney.

  • Rest in peace Mr. Rooney, you were and will remain a legend and an inspiration for generations to come.

  • RIP Andy ....

  • I will miss you Andy Rooney RIP.

  • annoying

  • He was a tipical American asshole! He was not too clever, 'cause he was American...

    R.I.P.

  • @kandambelkum lolwut

  • RIP Andy !

  • Even in death, Andy had great timing.

  • n a world where garbage like MSNBC and FOXnews,CNN are the most popular news sources in america a great man has left us. this is the way it should be done. we have gone backwards and people are less democratic then ever

  • ¡Brillante Hombre!

    Que la fuerza este contigo.

  • RIP man . . . last of a dying breed

  • RIP, Andy

    You are one of the persons I respect a lot

  • @TrulyMostHated I wish I could chain your mom to the floor and urinate on her.

  • @NiggerHeadOysters Your are talking about your self when ever you die.

  • a very sad day.

  • It's funny how he says he spent the last years trying not to be be famous while spending the first how many years to be famous. Guess who else said and felt like that? Cobain. He made sure to put Nixon's death over Cobain's; later apologized but still.... I am not sorry any more that either is dead. Iam not summing up a career...or Rooney's I am sure it would pass under the radar at the time like other things he has said..

    But I can not say I will miss him.

  • Andy Rooney was an atheist, guys.

  • @Alexknowsbezt sooo?!

  • @Alexknowsbezt Even though he was an atheist he still was a human being to.

  • @jnddog1 unlike most atheist on youtube andy did not push it down ya. he will be missed.

  • @timm9 Yep that he will.

  • i will miss you .you always mad me smile and mad me laugh .i always look forward every sunday looking at the last part of 60 mins to see what your going to talk about . 1 time a long time ago i was in the hospital for a few days and my father got me your book it was it was the best thing for my stay there.

    r i p my good friend i will miss you

  • @scottso241 made* not mad

  • When people die of old age, I feel like an amazing generation is dying. Andy Rooney was an inspiration to me and I felt such an amazing connection to him over the years. He always spoke the truth, and he will be missed.

  • I feel as if my grandfather has died. Rest in Peace, Grampa Rooney. You made a big difference in this world. Thanks so much. Yes, you were a lucky man. But, in truth, we are the lucky ones to have been able to able to hear your words all these many long years.

  • @TrulyMostHated Go back to your Xbox Live and spew those ridiculously poor excuses for insults you fucking 12 year old dipshit.

  • Tears in my eyes and I saw this for the second time, I love you Mr. Rooney, you have made my life filled the facts that are in your mine. I am a Jamaican, and from I was in Jamaica to now I have watched 60 Minutes, and you 3-5 minutes were the best part of it, I wish I could have told you that face to face, but then knowing who you are, you probably wouldn't even reply :) Rest in Peace my friend the world misses you- from Jamaica with love...

  • Journalism has lost a giant RIP Andy you will be sorely missed.

  • rip! you were an amazing man who wont be forgotten as a writer and a speaker!!!

  • a man i loved to watch when i was growing up in the 80's, i didnt not understand very much then, i watched him in the 90's going to high school and i was beginning to study and began to know and understand a lot, now it is 2011, and i find myself crying over the loss of a great icon in journalism and in the world. a power unmatched, as he said writers tell the truth, i will miss that, i never saw or heard of another writer saying that on tv.

    thank you for the great memories

  • @MMAoracle Great Point!

  • At first I read "My life sucks" haha

  • Thanks for the great writing.

  • Best to you Andy...

    Sioux Falls, SD

  • This Guy did the best he knew how--theirs no better testament than that.

  • Rest in Peace

  • Rest in peace Andy Rooney . You are the best writer

    ever. Enjoy in heaven from the Philippines

    

  • Andy Roney may all your new adventures be as rewarding as the one you've had here. Thanks for all the laughs and the courage to clean out my kitchen gadget drawer!

  • RIP

  • Hope I am that clear when I am 92

  • @MrGrevy I'm pretty sure the exact same sentiments, minus the legend part, will be spoken upon your long-overdue and hopefully, hysterically ironic final day.

  • @sipfan I was going to respond to MrGrevy, but after watching this video he isn't worth acknowledging. Andy was the man.

  • Andy was the best thing about "60 Minutes". He was the main reason I would watch the show. God Bless You Andy Rooney.

  • @geoffk54 "God Bless" pretty sure he's an Atheist.

  • @geoffk54 WE WILL MISS YOU ANDY RIP

  • Thank your for sharing your wisdom and may you rest in peace.

  • Rest in Peace

  • RIP Andy Rooney. We will always miss and love you!

  • YOU ARE THE MAN ANDY. YOU MADE 60 MINUTES FUNNY. WHAT ARE YOU PLANS NOW?

  • RIP. Cool guy. I watch his daughter every week on PBS on Beat the Press. Great show; she inherited her brilliance from her father.

  • RIP America's Grandpa

  • RIP Good sir.

  • Rest in Peace, Andy Rooney. I have enjoyed watching your essays all of these years. I'm so sorry you are gone. My deepest sympathy to your family and friends.

  • Rest in piece old man :)

  • RIP from Japan

  • Andy would find it redunded for me to feel sad that he has passed. He would say to me, "Dude, I was 92." You inspired me to be original and that's something any writer should be proud of. Congratulations Andy, on living a wonderful life

  • RIP, another WW2 vet gone. Very sad times.

  • Godspeed, Mr. Rooney.

  • RIP Andy! you will be missed by millions.

  • nooooooooooooo :(

  • God Speed Andy

  • RIP Andy......you were America's favorite curmudgeon.

  • RIP, Andy. Up next: Andy Rooney has a few words about the afterlife.

  • RIP Andy Rooney.

  • Write your heart out Andy, you will be missed. May you be at peace.

  • Mr. Rooney - You are one of the many writers and newscasters that made me want to become a writer. Your biting wit and statement of simple truths was always the reason I watched 60 Minutes with my grandparents as a child. For 20 years, I've watched you speak about whatever was on your mind, and it shaped me as the writer I am today.

    Thank you, Andy. From the bottom of my heart. We'll miss you.

  • RIP andy, I've always admired you.

  • R.I.P Andy Rooney. You were a legend. You will truly be missed.
