Richard Jeni

[DarkCatBurn]

Brilliant Comedic Genius--2nd only to George Carlin and how tragic and cruel to lose them BOTH within 5 yrs of each other. I sure would love to have either one of their takes right now, with what's going on in the world now. Hope you're in a better place and have found the peace that seemed to elude you in this life...

[RedStateRoy]

comedy-tragedy...tragedy-comed­y ancient connection



[nonofyall]

SIZZLE YOU HOT LITTLE BITCHES!!!!!!!!

[chimera385]

So Great brilliant man

[patapon47]

2 people don't like "Kou-Sonnts" (croissants) 

[WellConditionedChimp]

He got old. Being old sucks. So he stopped being old. Good for him. Sounds sane to me.

[NickBFilms]

who's the idiot who disliked this??

[TomMSTie1138]

@NickBFilms A croissant-making Frenchman.

[nashimus595]

one of the best comedians of all time, up there with rodney

[youlooklikeatosser]

Comedians and mental illness.. fucking tragedy. At least we got some laughs from Jeni's (and countless others') suffering. Will we ever understand?

[Newwaver2007]

He cracks me up everytime hehe :D

Platypus man R.I.P.

[chadray]

Apparently the Jacksons have waged a crusade against Jeni's "Reasonable doubt" routine about Michael.. sad really. I can't find it anywhere

[heavnnnsent]

Love him - saw him 2 or 3 times and always looked forward to seeing him up on stage again. He is the funniest frickin comedic genius around. Best in the world...best comedian EVER and he's from Brooklyn NY, woo hoo! Richard I know you are makin em laugh where ever you are now.

[AvangionQ]

I thought the Austrians invented the croissant as an homage to Islam's crescent moon, it was adopted by the French, and brought to England by Marie Antoinette and then popularized ... feh, I know its just a joke, but at least it should be historically accurate ...

[Melodicalshock]

Historically accurate? Maybe, but this man seeks to entertain people, why do you neglect his comedy, when he does this for you?

[RadioactiveRasp]

@RedCancer its on his DVD "A Big Steaming Pile of Me"

[anoyingfly]

i just find another comedian i really like after carlin died, and now i find out he's dead.

why the fu­ck are all the good comedians dying!?

[AlexofZippo]

the world is ending. It sucks. I totally agree. the greatest have passed on.

[dadoctah]

I don't know, but as long as you're already depressed, check out Dennis Wolfberg, George Miller and Mitch Hedberg.

[terrafirma91]

Doesn't get any better than this. Jeni was brilliant!

[pratikh]

Holy shit, that was awesome.

[BleachNaruTard]

Yeah, he did. He took true facts that were mildly amusing and made them paralyzingly hilarious. It is lamentable. And I'm in a very professional mood right now. XD that's why I'm talking so funny. Anyway, I'd love to have met him too. Quite a shame.

[KaTwItHkAtAnA]

In 2004, Jeni was ranked #57 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time. I do believe he deserved better.

[terrafirma91]

@KaTwltHkAtAnA: Couldn't have said it better myself. Besides, Comedy Central is probably more worried about being PC, or who is a buddy with whom, or who is related to the editor. Jeni ranks a LOT HIGHER than #57...!

[biker9476]

well, think about how many comedians there have been in 60 years. to be on a top 100 list out of 5,000+ AND higher on it than Jeff Foxworthy, Bernie Mac, and Dick Gregory is amazing

[thegunclub123]

I think I saw that list but still I think Jeni deserves at least one place above Ray Romano

[p717]

Ray Romano is a comedian?

[thegunclub123]

yeah hes very funny too but pitted against Jeni he pales

[violetlover666]

@KaTwItHkAtAnA that's bullshit!!! Richard should have been #1!!!

[phillyfan345]

Crosandwich? Sounds familiar....like from Denis Leary's No Cure For Cancer.

[delirium3000]

Denis Leary? Wasn't that the guy who nicked his gags from Bill Hicks?

[phillyfan345]

If you watch a Denis Leary special in its entirety, and then watch a Bill HIcks special in its entirety, it becomes clear that while they touched on similar topics, the actual jokes are very different and they are very different comics.

[CONSERVATIONmatters]

Richard Jeni is the best ever...

[khennyo]

Brilliant comedy!

[xXR0CKST4RXx]

how did he pass away? that so sad...

[neomeneomine]

He shot himself in the shower.

[xXR0CKST4RXx]

seriously?

[wulord]

Yeah.

Really sucks, he's hilarious.

Would've liked to meet him.
