All are iconic in their own ways, Jackson most notably. It’s been a rough couple of weeks. These celebrities worked how for their fame and to inform and entertain us. Hell, I remember Star Search very well. It was American Idol long before American Idol and a lot of that had to do with Ed being so personable, unlike the smarmy douche in the seater that hosts AI. Give me Ed any day.
Spoony! You twitted earlier this week that it “best that you don’t comment on Michael Jackson’s death” or something to that effect. I figured you didn’t like the guy and took that comment as if you did say anything about him it wouldn’t be nice. Yet you acknowledge him here.
God fucking damn it
Oh my god damn it. Why do the awesome have to die?

Spoony never says anything positive. He’s a grumpy man and with these deaths its better he just remembers the artist and not talk about them.
Also, he technically didn’t say anything in this post, just put up a picture and how long MJ lived. He’s not actually commenting on him or anything.
Or more like Michael Jackson’s death was shrouded in secrecy, and who knows how he died. Like, remember the outpouring of sympathy for Chris Benoit? Yeah… that can backfire.
Billy Mays?!!??!?! oh, finaly, THANK GOD!!!!!!! i no longer have to hear his yelling in every damn ad ever again!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!
but i feel sorry for the other three (especialy jackson)though… yeah… *nods*
A sad week for pop culture to be sure.
Oh thank god, because I wasn’t getting enough of this EVERYWHERE ELSE.
“Welcome to the Spoony Experiment. It’s here to pop culture in the face.” huh? excuse me while I barf
Why am I reminded of ID4?
“They’re dropping like flies!”
“GET ‘EM OUTTA THERE!”
When Billy Mays learned about Michael, Farrah and Ed, He sat down and said, “But Wait, there’s more!”…
Sorry. Couldn’t resist. :)
I swear more celebrities have died in the past two weeks than they have in the past year (Gale Storm, a star from the 1950’s also died today). And more in the past Two years than they have in the last 10. Hopefully since Spoony is currently only internet famous, his life should not be in any danger. Right?
Rest in peace, celebs.
Also heard a conspiracy theory that these are all Iranian appointed assassinations to distract away from the protest and beatings still going on in that country. Granted this is of course ridiculous, but they body count is getting close to Demolition Man sewer level numbers.
R.I.P
Mr Jackson, Please Moonwalk On the Clouds.
WoW
So… touching… did’nt know americans had feelings like this, It has really changed my way of looking on america.
That was a unnecessary comment -.-
Ohh really? ^^
I’m not gonna argue whit you again, did’nt solve annything last time either
Weak ^^
Come on plz it was so funny last time xD
@75 you’re right, Dom DeLuise did just die as well… I thought he died years ago.
Damn! Everone is dying… looked it up on wikipedia and found out that other people I knew of but didn’t know died in this year are: Dave Arneson (co-developed D&D), Ron Silver (actor time cop), Marilyn Chambers (behind the green door) and Beatrice Arthur (actress golden girls). And to think we are only halfway through the year
Now there is only one oldschool celebrity left….. And thats CHUCK NORRIS.
its gonna be a sad day when he dies.
Chuck Norris doesn’t die
^^ Pray Chuck Noris doesn’t die, for when he does, the elder things awaken.
all the great people we knowen and grew up with are now died, really MJ and billy death waqs the only ones who was surprising to die
I’m sad about MJ, he was the king of pop :((((((((((
Don’t forget David Eddings, the author, who died on the 2nd. :(
RIP David Eddings.
Well, death is one thing that always will come… eventually. And being sad ’bout it seems kinda pointless. So to pay a little respect I’ll enjoy their work now like I never did. Because they were AWESOME :]
‘09 the year of the dead celebritys.
Why didn’t you mention David Carradine ?
…killerspieler, you need to get shot…
I must admit, that remark about Death Notes does give an uncomfortable laugh.
wait…billy mays died? but how will i ever be informed of amazing products like might putty or oxy clean!?
Explain me why, AMReese
@killerspieler: Spoony did a David Carradine memoriam a little while ago (if you click the “In Memoriam” link on the side bar, it’s the third post).
@etc.star
Sorry, I didn’t notice, the new button on the side bar ^^.
MJ was one of my icons….and Billy? he was the perfect example of the American Entrepreneur, from pitching at flea markets to multi network, multimillion dollar advertisements for major companies, i bet he’s greeting everyone “Hi! Billy Mays here, welcoming you to the afterlife!”
couldnt you have picked a better mj picture
Oh my, Billy Mays is dead? I didn’t knew about that. This is rather shocking. O_O
Sky Saxon died on the 25th as well
I’d imagine something happening like this after Billy’s death:
Albert: *fries things* Welcome home, mast… what happened to your robes? They’re so… clean.
Death: THERE WAS A RATHER LOUD FELLOW TODAY… HE WAS VERY PERSUASIVE.
Anyways, RIP to all of them.
HI BILLY MAYS HERE
… =(
Hmmm.
looks very fishy.
SERIAL KILLER?
Spoony, I have to wonder why you keep posting these “In Memoriam” posts. It seems strange of me for anybody to pretend that these people’s deaths are personally affecting. Sure, we all enjoyed Jackson’s Music, Mcmahon’s Antics (for lack of a better word), Mays’s Enthusiasm (again, lack of a better word), and Fawcett’s Assets (Am I clever now?), but it’s not like any of us really miss that they’re gone. Their families have to deal with this for the rest of their lives, we only “deal” with it for a few seconds. I don’t see the point.
These memorandum’s are useful. Thanks for the post Spoony.
Its a good thing to keep of with current news, including the trivial. I kind of liked Billy Mays, its a shame he died. What is odd is this whole sleugh a famous people dieng this week. Is their a conspiracy, or is it mere coincidence.
It is improper and impolite to say bad things about the dead. Allow for a period of time before you go back to even honest constructive critisism (or usually worse as the case usually is).
Their are standards that should be upheld.
Not to many weeks ago, Marilyn Chambers passed away to. What is interesting is many of these people are dying in their 50’s. That seems a bit young these days.
So many famous people died last weeks, and good ones too. Hopefully some real nutjobs will die this week to balance things out.
Damn, I loved Billy Mays. God DAMMIT! I’ll really miss you Billy.
Billy Mays is dead? Wow, suddenly I regret posting that parody last Saturday.
