Loved his version and telling of the Aristocrats joke. Brilliant.

Awwww. RIP. He cracked me up so many times.

Really liked his appearances on the Howard Stern Show. Very funny and smart guy.

RIP

Sad.

He had one of the most instantly annoying voices in the world and cashed in. He and Bobcat Goldthwait both had voices that were like nails across a chalkboard at times, to me. Always liked him though, RIP.

This is sad. I’ve liked him since the 80s when he was on all the talk shows.

At the Roseanne Barr Comedy Central roast several years ago, he killed it. All of his peers were laughing their arses off. Highlight of the Night.
So freaking funny, he was.

I got you, bro:

You knew as soon as you saw him it was going to be a good time, really funny dude

That's how I know of him too, when he was on Howard's show. RIP

I knew as soon as I heard him I couldnt find the remote quick enough. I could not take his voice. He was probably a funny nice guy RIP

j/c...

epic.
