I'm in shock.
Bernie Mac's died today aged 50 because of complications related to pneumonia.
I doubt nobody ever head of him, he had a great show the bernie mac show (which I loved btw), plus he entered in several highly known movies like Ocean's Eleven and Charlie's Angels, and another one with ashton kutcher I don't remember the name.
I woke up today to the sound of my father yelling across the house to my mother that Bernie Mac died. It is rather sad, he was funny... Also, RIP that one US volleyball coach's in-law that was stabbed in Beijing.
its sad that you only know him because of his show and he was in some movies. you should know him because of his stand-up. hes one of the 'original kings of comedy'

Well, Americans usually have a different sense of humour to Brits, so that's probably why we haven't heard of him. The only American comedian that I know of, that really makes me laugh, is Joan Collins.
no offense but they are all black comedians, and i have never found black comedians that funny. except for damon waynes on the show "my wife and kids"
the reason is because culturally most of what our comedians talk about is not funny in your culture, imo. i dont really find brit comedians all that funny, especially since i can hardly ever even understand them. eddie izzard is ok though.
I find it funny how Brits could always chat for pages and pages on forums about British comedians, and the rest of us would be wondering what they're talking about.
Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.
But accents aren't really that hard to understand at all?
