Harold Ramis Dead: Comedy Legend Dies At 69

Wow that sucks. What a genius he was.

 

[1Nation]

So is there another Ghostbuster's movie or not dam*it!

 

[3TrueFans]

That sucks, he was my favorite Ghostbuster. I actually just watched Stripes the other day too ironically enough.

I'll also remember him as Russell Ziskey in Stripes:

John Winger: C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like going into Wisconsin.


Russell Ziskey: Well I got the **** kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!

I feel like the floor of a taxi cab.

Gonna miss this guy - fun actor and was perfectly casted for the role of Egon.

Sad news...he was a funny guy.

 

[Cycsk]

How is his grandson Ryan taking the loss?

 

[mj4cy]

RIP. Loved him in small roles too such as Orange County.

Bummer! Guy was hilarious. Guess that officially ends the hopes for a new ghostbusters.

Bonus points to anyone who can say how Harold Ramis is related to my avatar pic.

He was Zeke (right side of your avatar) in Heavy Metal.

I watched that movie when it came out in Wisconsin, the place went nuts when they said that.

Russell Ziskey: Well I got the **** kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!

Watched that in Wisconsin, the place went nuts with that line.

Damn sad. The guy co-wrote Caddyshack and Animal House too. Brilliantly funny.

RIP

Also, he was part of the writing team that gave us this:

Egon: Vigo the Carpathian. Born 1505, died 1610.

Peter Venkman: 105 years old, he hung in there, didn't he?
Ray: He didn't die of old age, either. He was poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disembowled, drawn and quartered.

Peter Venkman: Ouch.

Winston: Guess he wasn't too popular at the end, huh?

Egon: No, not exactly a man of the people. Also known as Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Torturer, Vigo the Despised, and Vigo the Unholy.

Peter Venkman: Wasn't he also Vigo the Butch?

Ray: And dig this, there was a prophecy. Just before his head died, his last words were "Death is but a door. Time is but a window. I'll be back."

This calls for a little "cheesing."

Brilliant comedian. Most of his movies are classic that really never get old.

No mentions of Groundhog Day yet? Ramis co-wrote it and directed it too.

This is a sad day. He is one of my favorite talents ever.
