1957-2008
I love to laugh but can’t tell a joke if you gave me the punch line. As I get older, I’m trying to enjoy life more–which includes laughing more. One man who could always make me laugh whenever I watched him in stand up or in a movie was Bernie Mac. His laughter will be missed.
Here are a few clips from some of Bernie Mac performances.
Warning: some profanity
This is a clip of Bernie Mac from The Kings of Comedy tour.
This is Bernie Mac talking about bad kids.
This is a clip of Bernie Mac from Friday.
This is a clip of Bernie Mac from House Party 3.
If you watched How to Be a Player, you probably remember this scene with Bernie Mac.

thanks for this Shelia……he was my dude in comedy!!!
Good morning, sheila.
Yeah I hate that for Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes. Death always comes uninvited. After seeing so many Kings of Comedy clips, I had almost forgotten about Bernie Mac’s cameo in the movie Friday. Funny stuff.
He will be missed, and greatly appreciated even in death.
He will be missed. The comedy world lost one of the greats this weekend and so suddenly. I reminds me of when Robin Harris passed so suddenly. I know I wasn’t ready for the laughter to end. My favorite all time Bernie Mac sketch is the one he does at the end of his set on The Kings of Comedy where he explains the word motherf—–. That had me falling out the chair cracking up. But then I’ve always had a bit of a potty mouth from the time I used to try and sneak curse words passed my parents buy singing little rhymes and then looking “shocked” when a cuss word came out by “mistake.”
Bernie made it funny and relevant and I’ll miss him.

I’m still feeling numb over this loss, Shelia. And I don’t mind saying that seeing “1957-2008″ freaks me out, since I was born the same year as Bernie. It’s way too soon to start seeing my contemporaries pass away.
Bernie was the funniest@#$%^@^% ever….I loved his use of cuss words and straight up street logic to get a point across…
smooches!!

Meachy, I recall seeing him on Def Comedy Jam for the first time. He used to crack me up.
Don, that scene from Friday is one of my favorite parts.
Gwyneth, I was watching that clip and meant to add it to the tribute but forgot. It will have you cracking up.
Bettye, I know. It’s hard to believe. With him and then Isaac Hayes dying too it just made me think about a whole lot of things. We have to enjoy the time we have left here and stop stressing out over the small things. At least I know I do.
Angelia…I was up late watching clips. His sense of humor was contagious. I hated when they cancelled his tv show.
Thanks for the memories.

What a sad loss… we’ve lost 2 back to back… I pray for there families and what a great tribute!
