So sad, he was only 50. Pneumonia is nothing to mess around with!

    50 is just way too young. I thought he was pretty funny. I still go back to being only 50. That is only 13 years away for me. I could not imagine being dead at 50.

    A woman I worked with died on her way home from work Monday night. Single car accident, flipped her car and hit a tree. She was 55. There was another death that I heard about this week. So Bernie makes 3. Hopefully I am all done for a while.

    That's really sad. My brother had Pneumonia last November from complications of a prescription drug reaction. It was so scary. It can literally be okay one minute and the next minute can take a turn.

    I'm sorry for his family and friends. 50 is way too young. RIP.

    No shit, that is so sad. His show got a little old after a while, but I loved him in the movies he was in. Damn.

    Bernie was a great stand up. Never been a fan of his acting but he always made me laugh. 50 is WAY too young.

    I remember the first time I watched that, I was in tears from laughter. "I love sex. Love it. Can't do SHIT no mo'. And I'm blessed. I'm big boneded. I'm heavy structured. I'm hung low. When I pull my shit out, the whole room get dark"

    He managed to make a very crude and silly style of comedy hilarious purely because of his delivery.

    at one of obama speech things bernie did his act and went too far for the politics thing. another one of those 'omg i cant believe he offended anyone he's a comdian' obama just tried to cover himself i guess.

    "My little nephew came to me and he said, 'Uncle, what's the difference between a hypothetical question and a realistic question?'" Mac told the crowd, "I said, ‘I don't know,’ but I said, 'I'll tell you what you do. Go upstairs and ask your mother if she'd make love to the mailman for $50,000.’”

    The joke continued with the mother saying she'd sleep "with anyone" for $50,000 -- and then continuing to include Mac's daughter hypothetically answering the question in the same way.

    "Hypothetically speaking, we should have $100,000. But realistically speaking we live with two hos,” Mac said delivering the punch line that solicited a few hecklers in the political crowd.

    people need to lighten up, its a joke......

    I was shocked to hear about it earlier today and felt saddened to hear of it. I find it hard to believe he died just from pneumonia when he was already being hospitalized for it. They said online he also had a history of a lung disease so perhaps that complicated things. I feel sad for his family also. May he RIP.

    I thought he was funny when I watched him. That movie with Ashton Kutcher was funny.
