Today the comedy world has lost a modern day great in the passing of Bernie Mac (1957-2008). According to CNN.com, Bernie Mac has passed away due to complications of pneumonia this morning (http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/08/09/bernie.mac/index.html).
Bernie Mac's illustrious career has taken him from roles as the door man in Wayan's Mo Money (1992) to three role run in everyone's favorite the Ocean series "Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve, and Ocean's Thirteen". Bernie Mac was able to cross color lines with his off color comedy and I don't care what you think attitude with a style that was reminiscent of the great Robin Harris. Just the other day I was watching "Bad Santa" where Mac starred alongside of the late John Ritter, Billy Bob Thornton, and Tony Cox; I remember one of my favorite scenes where Billy Bob comes to Santa's chair and passes out drunk after he completely crushed a mule, then Bernie Mac and Tony Cox have one of the funniest exchanges of humor on screen lol (check the embeded video)
Countless humor back to the Def Comedy Jam Days... I remember watching Bernie Mac on Def Comedy Jam
Raunchy, hiliarous, and black out comedy is just a few words that will describe this great comedian. Note to comedians of this generation take a page out of his book and learn how to be truly funny, Bernie Mac you will definitely be missed - Rest in Peace
