This isn't funny.

 
boomaze 2007-03-11 05:22:48 PM  
Wow. Again? He just shot himself last night too.

 
Klyde 2007-03-11 05:22:57 PM  
Wha?

 
Confabulat [TotalFark] 2007-03-11 05:23:34 PM  
He's been shooting himself over and over for about the past 15 hours.

Richard Jeni, your HBO comedy specials have brought pleasure to millions.

Dang, I came into reference that.

 
BlueWiz7 2007-03-11 05:25:55 PM  
Jenny! Jenny! Yeah, Jenny, don't stop. Oh, Richard Jeni, your HBO specials have brought pleasure to millions! And what a sweet ass...

 
Superkwa 2007-03-11 05:26:05 PM  
He was actually funny.

 
BlueWiz7 2007-03-11 05:26:34 PM  
One minute and one second, zamros.

 
C-Bear 2007-03-11 05:27:18 PM  
This wasn't Elliott Smith's girlfriend, too, was it?

 
TheBishop!! 2007-03-11 05:27:23 PM  
WoW....How Sad.

 
stirfrybry 2007-03-11 05:27:23 PM  
So when is this thread going to vanish?

 
GrazoTheClown 2007-03-11 05:27:56 PM  
His girlfriend killed him.

 
pottie 2007-03-11 05:28:02 PM  
it was so good he did it twice?

 
JSieverts [TotalFark] 2007-03-11 05:28:47 PM  
I find it highly depressing that the bogus, untrustworthy news outlets beat the real ones on this by hours.....

The man was flat out funny...
he will be missed

 
netweavr [TotalFark] 2007-03-11 05:29:12 PM  
So he died last night, was upgraded to alive, and is now dead again?

Is this a promo for his upcoming HBO special "Castro - the Musical" or something?

 
FuzzySkinner 2007-03-11 05:29:14 PM  
Generalissimo Fransisco Franc--- aw screw it.

 
McCart 2007-03-11 05:29:40 PM  
According to google, his official website may "harm my computer."

I'm going to unpleasant places for laughing at that.

 
eazydog 2007-03-11 05:29:55 PM  
The only confirmation of this so far is a Wiki article. His website seems to have been hacked (check at your own risk), but nobody else seems to know he's dead.

/maybe somebody should tell him?

 
ClicheGuevara07 2007-03-11 05:30:16 PM  
C-Bear: "This wasn't Elliott Smith's girlfriend, too, was it?"

Ya know, I thought the exact same thing until I realized it was a gunshot wound and not a knife to the chest.

PS

Why couldn't it have been Dane Cook?

 
wildcardjack 2007-03-11 05:30:43 PM  
From the headline I thought he'd pulled a Micheal Richards and yelled various racial epithets while on stage.

 
mikaloyd 2007-03-11 05:32:08 PM  
Police found the 45-year-old comedian alive but gravely injured in a West Hollywood home when they responded to a call Saturday morning from Jeni's girlfriend

Holy shiat...

 
Dr_J 2007-03-11 05:32:29 PM  
Damn. I had Andrew Dice Clay in the comedy death pool.

 
clown-freak 2007-03-11 05:32:54 PM  
Google news has had a bunch of links about it over the last few hours that I noticed.
Maybe he had some terminal illness and didn't want to stick it out through all the pain and suffering? dunno.

 
McCart 2007-03-11 05:33:28 PM  
ClicheGuevara07

Probably because Dane Cook has more money than God right now. He'll stop being popular in about a year or so.

You mean the ones that don't check their sources beat the ones that do? Color me shocked.

 
GavinTheAlmighty 2007-03-11 05:34:11 PM  
Damn, that's really sad, he was hilarious.

 
rcain [TotalFark] 2007-03-11 05:34:27 PM  
"My boyfriend shot himself in the face."

Damn... shooting yourself in the face in front of your girlfriend is one way to say "I love you". Guess he loved her so much he couldn't just say it with flowers.


I'm gonna wait till the funeral though.. I have a feeling he's going to jump out of the casket and yell "TA-DA! The Aristocrats!".
... or at least have his cold, lifeless body be rigged up to do that.


/What's death without a good punchline?

 
captainorbaggio 2007-03-11 05:34:47 PM  
How many times does this guy plan on killing himself?

Many here were saying they didn't believe it because there was nothing from the "legit" news organizations. Some probably still don't...

 
Farkomatic 2007-03-11 05:35:17 PM  
Wow, I was bummed about Brad Delp, but it must have really bummed Jeni out...

 
The_Sponge [TotalFark] 2007-03-11 05:35:29 PM  
Holy shiat that's sad.

I watched "A Big Steaming Pile of Me" last year and it was farking great.

Rest in peace, Mr. Jeni.

 
DrToast 2007-03-11 05:35:32 PM  
That's terrible. He was awesome.

 
JSieverts [TotalFark] 2007-03-11 05:35:54 PM  
good point

now, what was the reference on the earlier, deleted thread, about Michael J Fox?

 
Heroic Poser 2007-03-11 05:36:14 PM  
Too bad. He was OK in my book.

# "Batman" .... Host (1 episode, 1994)
... aka Batman: The Animated Series
... aka The Adventures of Batman & Robin
- Make 'Em Laugh (1994) TV Episode (voice) .... Host
# The Mask (1994) .... Charlie Schumaker
# "Married with Children" .... with Prom Queen(1989) TV

There are still legit news organizations?

 
g-booby 2007-03-11 05:37:03 PM  
I am with the WTF? crowd. He was very funny and I did not think he would be the type of guy to off himself.

 
chuggernaught 2007-03-11 05:37:15 PM  
WTF? Why would he do that?

/twice even.

 
Jimsus 2007-03-11 05:37:32 PM  
So long Richard Jeni, sorry I always thought you were Kevin Pollak.

 
hbgdaddy 2007-03-11 05:38:32 PM  
"My boyfriend shot himself in the face."

Eisenman said suicide had not been officially confirmed and the investigation was continuing.


might wanna get a good lawyer, honey.

 
Nakito 2007-03-11 05:38:34 PM  
Police found the 45-year-old comedian alive but gravely injured

And that's the problem with suicide. You can never be sure it will work. If it doesn't, now you've really messed up your life.

Hallmark should design a line of "Last Kiss" greeting cards for these kinds of occassions

 
cretinbob [TotalFark] 2007-03-11 05:39:08 PM  
Some things do bear repeating.

Most of the stuff on Fark, not so much.

And for the record, the investigation is ongoing.

... girlfriend did it.

 
adiabat [TotalFark] 2007-03-11 05:40:26 PM  
Apparently, he had some sort of terminal illness.
Then again, who shoots themself in the face?

Hmmm.
