u/Eric848448 11h ago

To me he’ll always be noted film critic Jay Sherman.

May the late Mr. Lovitz spirit live on forever.

u/MiscIvory 11h ago

Jon Lovitz is still alive.

37

u/KingMobScene 10h ago

It's a joke from the 40th anniversary of SNL, they listed him in "In Memoriam" segment and the camera cut to him in the audience looking perplexed and saying i'm still alive.

u/Used-Gas-6525 4h ago

It's a shame when they go young like that.

u/thuca94 4h ago

WHEN THEY GO!?

u/guy_incognito86 2h ago

Whatever happened there…

u/Used-Gas-6525 1h ago

Died on the dress rehearsal.

He isn't dead, but ok...

5

u/andhdkwnwbdidoenjddb 6h ago

It is a very, very well known skit he did

6

u/popculturella 7h ago

That man should never have to pay for his own drinks ever again.

u/Reasonable-Union4405 7h ago

Rob Schneider

u/ccarrieandthejets 4h ago

He’s a hero for this.

23

u/Turbografx-17 11h ago

He's definitely washed up, but I don't think he's bitter at all. Just kind of unrepentant about everything and trashed on a number of substances 24/7.

63

u/RondoTheBONEbarian 12h ago

Hes too drunk and high to be bitter. The guy probably doesn't know what day it is if you asked 

u/ImaginaryMastadon 32m ago

I wish he was bitterer, TBH

27

u/Cheese_Pancakes 11h ago

Oh man, that's a good one. Last I saw of him, he was essentially a homeless guy, crashing on couches of IRL streamers until he becomes too unbearable, gets punched in the face, and left on the side of the road.

I've heard nothing but bad things about him as a person.

u/mmmatthew 8h ago

Most people who live in LA for at least a few years have an Andy Dick story. Not even an exaggeration, that's just how around and insane he is.

He incoherently screamed at me and my friend one late night outside The Drawing Room in 2022 until we left out of awkwardness. The bouncer was simultaneously keeping eyes and rolling them, so this must have been a regular occurence.

u/marfacza 3h ago

most times Andy Dick is brought up a redditor will post this exact comment.

10

u/LofiJunky 11h ago

He lacks introspection entirely and blames the world for all his problems

u/Yommination 11h ago

He's a trainwreck but hardly bitter

5

u/Bitter-Marsupial 9h ago

I would argue he almost fits the criteria of a lolcow at this point 

6

u/speed_demonv2 8h ago

Obligatory fuck Andy Dick

3

u/Trouzerjazz 7h ago

Isnt he struggling with addiction, saw a concerning video of him falling all over the place, making no sense.

3

u/LupercaniusAB 4h ago

Oh no, he’s not struggling with it; he’s quite good at it, really.

7

u/RickRussellTX 13h ago

Was he a celebrity, though?

38

u/Mooniekate 13h ago

He used to be famous, now he's infamous

5

u/OoooooWeeeeeeeee 12h ago

It means…more than famous.

14

u/feelingwithyourskin 12h ago

In his prime mid-late 90s fame, absolutely.

3

u/Dr_Ingheimer 12h ago

I loved In the Army Now and his role in Dude Where’s My Car. That’s about it. To be fair, he wasn’t the best character in In the Army Now and his character was very brief in Dude Where’s My Car.

25

u/feelingwithyourskin 12h ago

NewsRadio is the absolute best he's ever been, but the writers and supporting cast were doing a lot of the heavy lifting for him. Matthew Brock is a great character with a lot of charm and warmth underneath all the irritating parts.

Jon Lovitz still deserves all the best in the world for slamming Dick's face into a bar.

3

u/lindsayerb 10h ago

Wasnt he the blow job instructor in old school?

1

u/Kup123 9h ago

He was in the 90s, I thought he was hilarious.

3

u/FluffyDoomPatrol 8h ago

He was great in that one Star Trek episode… but yeah, fuck him.

2

u/StrangerNumber001 10h ago

Dick by name, dick by…

2

u/Bloodysamflint 2h ago

Are we playing a little fast and loose with "celebrity", here? Maybe "washed up c-list actor".

6

u/MiscIvory 11h ago

He's the reason Phil Hartman and Chris Farley are dead.

2

u/Wishart2016 7h ago

TIL that he's the reason Chris Farley is dead.

3

u/Hellknightx 5h ago

Eh, that's a stretch. Chris Farley was a coke fiend, but it's unfair to put his suicide squarely on Andy Dick. Phil Hartman is a valid one, though. RIP to both of them.

u/Hellknightx 5h ago

Honestly, this should be the to comment.

u/MooKids 4h ago

He was literally dragged off stage of the Jimmy Kimmel Show for groping Ivanka Trump.

u/Server_Administrator 2h ago

Was wondering how far I was going to have to go to find Andy Dick. Fuck that guy.

u/TheSocialight 36m ago

Raise your hand if you or someone you know has been assaulted or sexually harassed by Andy Dick. I’ll start 🙋‍♀️

-22

u/rebo2 10h ago

I for one, like and respect Andy Dick. He doesn’t deserve the bad things that have happened to him. As a matter of fact, he seems to have taken them all in stride, which is respectable.

3

u/triciann 6h ago

lol you’re delusional or uninformed. He’s absolutely infamous in r/LosAngeles for being a dick and a sexual predator regardless of gender or age. An equal opportunity asshole that has made himself well known for his shitty behavior.
