It's not exactly like Harvey Korman was still working in movies and churning out really funny stuff, but he was so damn funny for so long, it still sucks that he passed away yesterday after complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm four months ago. Whatever the hell that means. He should have died from something funnier. Like slipping on a banana peel or getting whacked in the face with a beaver. I bet he would have wanted that. The AP says…

Harvey Korman, the tall, versatile comedian who won four Emmys for his outrageously funny contributions to "The Carol Burnett Show" and played a conniving politician to hilarious effect in "Blazing Saddles," died Thursday. He was 81.
"A world without Harvey Korman — it's a more serious world," Mel Brooks told the AP on Thursday.
"I gave him tongue twisters because I knew he was the only one who could wrap his mouth around them," Brooks said. "Harvey was such a good solid actor that he could have done Shakespearean drama just as well and easily as he did comedy."
"You could get rock-solid comedy out of him. He could lift the material. He always made it real, always made it work, always believed in characters he was doing," he said.

Korman was like Will Arnett or Paget Brewster or Bernie Mac or someone like that in the sense that everything he said was ten times funnier than it really was.  Those people just make stuff funny.  Whereas someone like Cameron Diaz or Jennifer Anniston just sit there like a fucking lox and ruin everything.  And yet they’re considered "funny".  Because someone else wrote a joke.  God I hate them.  I'm not saying to punch Cameron Diaz in her stupid toothy face, but I’m also not not saying to punch her in her stupid toothy face.
