Paid Members Carbomb Posted April 7, 2022 Paid Members Posted April 7, 2022 Mr Benn was very much a staple of my early childhood. I barely remember it, obviously, but I have a couple of nice memories sat watching it in my parents' bedroom (which had our only TV at the time), sat on their blanket box/my toy box at the foot of the bed. My parents told me in later years how much I seemed to love it. RIP David McKee.

LSM Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 Aw that absolutely sucks! This always cracks me up every time it pops up on social media, it was the first thing I went to to get a laugh when I heard the rotten news.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted April 12, 2022 Paid Members Posted April 12, 2022 Gilbert’s impressions of Seinfeld always made me laugh. He also voiced an iconic character even if he was overshadowed by Robin Williams. And in general he was a hilarious guy. Didn’t know he was sick, but this has bummed me out.

All his roasts are pretty special. I thought he was older than that. That reading of 50 Shades was fantastic. Always put a smile on my face as well. Such a sad loss. He was one of the standouts of the movie The Aristocrats.

I love his appearance in that documentary about that autistic lad who used Disney film to communicate (Life Animated?) His warmth really shone through and it made for a lovely moment.

We watched it just after our sons non verbal diagnosis and it gave us a bit of hope. And he was so wonderful in it.
Chili Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) I always loved how Iago sounded like Paul Heyman at full on good coke binge, which made me like Gilbert even more. Got fucked over on SNL, regained his career handsomely. Proper good. Edited April 12, 2022 by Chili
