I feel like there's a good German word for being sad that a funny person died, but I don't know any German.

He's just a little horse/hoarse
I've of my favorite movies of all time
HEADLINE NEWS ACROSS THE WORLD - JIM ABRAHAMS HAS DIED!
Thanks Jim for giving us this absolutely stupid sense of humour, RIP
He should have picked an earlier day to quit sniffing glue.
On a slightly more "serious" note, he made the funniest movies I ever watched in my life, including the best opening scene of any movie ever.

Movies like these made a generation of Germans (like me) admire and want to move to the USA...
He's probably one of the reasons I was eager to learn English and listened to American Forces Network radio all night long.
But all of that is 30-40 years in the past now...
Surely the man made a legacy for himself.
He did, but don't call us Shirley.
What a legendary career
Surely, you can't be serious!
I kept reading that as JJ Abrams, and thinking there's no fucking way he made that many great movies.
Unlike his previous stuff this last prank of his is not funny at all. Sad even. Just proves he's past his prime.
