four or five times on a bar.

Seems dear ol Andy had a hand in the Hartman incident.

Too bad he didn't really screw him up.

Anyway. All I found were some blog entries on it.

This one has a link to the post....

lolz at thread title

Good for Lovitz. I always liked him. :p

+1 Jon Lovitz

Lovitz has made me laugh more than Dick, but i like Andy on GTA.

*yawn*

Meanwhile in the real world.....

Bah. This is a great story. :)

Bah, again. It's not your typical Hollywood garbage. It's not "who's wearing what" or "oh dear, what's-her-name's in rehab again!" And neither of them are even celebrities, really. :p If you're a viewer of comedy or an observer of pop culture generally, it's fun. ;)

Also, where did you find those "Phrases" and why are they capitalized? :p

Did anyone give a shit about Andy Dick until this event? Still, the condom accident pretty much deserved the repeated head-smashes against the bar. If I was Lovitz I might have been tempted to keep on doing it until I didn't hear a damn thing out of the little shit.

Perhaps you didn't read it, but someone took an annoying pissant 'comedian' and smashed his head against a bar repeatedly.

This sort of admirable and laudable behavior should not merely be reported on, but celebrated.

I wasn't expecting much when I opened the link, but reading that the beating was because Dick quite possibly contributed to Phil Hartman's death, I'd say he thoroughly deserved this. And more. Hartman was a brilliant comedian.

Now that's comedy! :)

Hey. That's enough. If you're so offended by such threads, why waste your time and the time of those who are interested by posting in them?

I used to do that, too. It made me feel sooooo smug and superior to go into a thread whose topic I thought was frivolous and inane and post like you do. I realized that if I had nothing to contribute to the point of the thread, there was no reason to post. I could, in fact -- wait for it -- IGNORE the thread and get on with my day.

Lots of people, me included, remember Phil Hartman fondly and wish he weren't dead. As such, this thread has interest for them. If it has no interest for you, please go to one that does. The last thing ANYONE needs to hear is that YOU or ANYone else thinks the thread topic is not worth THEIR consideration.

Clearly it is, otherwise you wouldn't have even looked in, let alone posted.

Thank you.

I should have known that a guy as talentless and marginal as Andy Dick would be a cocaine user. That drug attracts more than its share of assholes.

Seriously, has Dick done anything that was ever even remotely funny? Ever? NewsRadio was a funny show, but his stuff was scripted for him.

Andy Dick can be fairly funny as a stand alone, but it dissipates when you know him as a human being. Jon Lovitz, on the other hand, is hilarious, and as it seems, quite fond of doling out dollops of rich creamy justice.

NewsRadio was funny because of people like Phil Hartman. Andy Dick just happened to be on the show, too.

It couldn't have happened to a bigger asshole.

I never would've though Lovitz had it in him though - he just looks so paunchy and weak. Good to see that perception can be misleading, in a good way. :)

Shame it was only Lovitz that did the bashing and not this guy:

Now THAT would have been worth watching!

Is that the dude that was the incredible hulk?

Wow, this is straight up unexpected news.

Had no idea Lovitz had it in him, but given the circumstance, who wouldn't?

Is that the dude that was the incredible hulk?
yup. Lou Ferringo's his name

As much as I dislike Andy Dick, I can't fault him for offering cocaine to someone... it's not like he forced it down her nose. Although I also am glad that Lovitz roughed him up a bit - especially for that Hartman curse comment.:rolleyes:

Andy Dick sucks...he's not funny...

Except he's actually funny, and he's not a cokehead who contributed to someone's murder by supplying coke either.

Kudos to you, good sir!

There's better ways to handle these sorts of situations, but I can't say I fell particularly sorry for Dick.

You're right, he could have used a piece of rebar or an ax handle.

Good for Lovitz.

Mr. Dick was a proud member of my: "Celebrities who need an ass kicking" club. Our membership is growing quite rapidly and our administration simply can't handle the sheer volume coming in. :(

depends. if he knew Brynn was trying to stay clean, then yes, I can and do fault him for offering cocaine to her.

but hearing of his other antics... I don't feel anything for Andy Dick anymore.

Dick's weirdness has been well documented. Last year, he licked the faces of Farrah Fawcett, Carrie Fisher and Patton Oswalt, then groped and bit the hand of Post reporter Mandy Stadtmiller at a comedy-festival taping.

I can't fault him for offering cocaine to someone... it's not like he forced it down her nose.
Huh? That's true for most dealers as well right? You're in favour legalising cocaine, then?

.

Did he know? Besides, I believe in personal responsibility and if someone does cocaine willingly then I don't fault the person who gave it to them because I think people shoudl have teh freedom to make stupid decision. If he slipped it in her drink unbeknownst to her then I would have a different opinion.

Yes I do think it should be legal and people shoudl be allowed to kill themselves.

WARNING! WARNING! THIS IS A THREAD JACK! :p

Andy Dickhead deserved far worse.

However, I must still congratulate Sir Lovitz on his most splendid work yet.

Oh, good I thought I was the only one that didn't get Andy Dick's "Appeal".

Now, If we could sic Mr. Lovitz on Michael Ian Black.

Just watch I love the [insert decade] on vh1, or wait for a sierra mist (tm) commercial to come on. Try "STELLA" on youtube.

*Has absolutly no idea what that is*

Both very bad movies.

Besides, I believe in personal responsibility and if someone does cocaine willingly then I don't fault the person who gave it to them because I think people shoudl have teh freedom to make stupid decision. If he slipped it in her drink unbeknownst to her then I would have a different opinion. ever tried to give up a habit like cocaine? or even Smoking?

yes she did accept, however she was trying to kick the habit. to offer her a substance that he knew she was trying to avoid is being... well a Dick. and if anyone did anything like that to someone I know, you bet I'll call the cops on him/her especially if it's a controlled substance. This is assuming he knew she was trying to kick the habit.

Trying to kick a habit is tough and the best weapon that person has is their friends... their true friends. However, their greatest foe are also friends... friends who don't care about that person.

If Andy Dick knew she was kicking the habit and offered it to her (heck, the fact that he had it out with her present is bad enough for me... do your lines in a seperate room!) Then... well I can't lower my opinion of him any further... However, since it's not know if he knew or not... *shrugs*

Who's he again?

If he didn't, he was completely unrepentant. Same as knowing, if you ask me.

You're thinking of Shia LeBoeuf. He's also in Tansformers.

ever tried to give up a habit like cocaine? or even Smoking?

Yes. I smoked like a chimney for 8 years. At one point I was at 2 packs a day. I tried and failed to quit many many times. I had people that knew i was trying to quit offer me smokes, and sometimes I would take them up on it. I realized then that they just wanted someone to share an addictive habit with, because otherwise they would feel weak(er) or less alone or something along those lines (I can't really explain it but I hope you know what I mean). I can't blame them for my being weak. I can't blame them for me accepting something that I really wished I hadn't.

This is assuming he knew she was trying to kick the habit.

I'm not going to just assume that. Either way I think he is an asshole, but to blame Andy Dick for the end result of Phil hartmans wifes failings is a huge leap in my eyes.

It's like blaming alcohol advertisers for all alcohol related deaths. Or blame gun advertisers for all gun related deaths. Or like blaming McDonalds advertising for....

Phil Hartmans wife had a cocaine problem before Andy Dick tempted her with cocaine did she not? We can't sterilize the world of all the dangerous temptations out there for the weak willed individuals. If she was trying to kick a habit, she should have been in a rehab where she could be isolated from the stuff until she was strong enough to say no when temptation arose.

Again, I still think Andy Dick sucks major ass but I will not blame him for Phil Hartmans death.

If he didn't, he was completely unrepentant. Same as knowing, if you ask me.

I'm not seeing how. Being unrepentant just makes him a bigger asshole.

I'm not seeing how. Being unrepentant just makes him a bigger asshole.

You misunderstand. If Andy Dick DIDN'T know that Mrs. Hartman had a cocaine addiction problem, the offering of the drug would be a minor thing, if a thing at all (how would he have known?). He should have been very repentant about offering (metaphorically) a glass of water to a drowning woman had he NOT known.

If he HAD known, he's an asshole without qualification.

EITHER WAY, he was unrepentant and earns the asshole badge regardless of his prior knowledge.

There's a difference between an advertisement, which cannot possibly take the state of its targets into account, and a personal acquaintance, who should know better than to offer an addict their addiction.

Regardless of what he did or did not know, Andy Dick deserved the ass-kicking.

Yes. I smoked like a chimney for 8 years. At one point I was at 2 packs a day. I tried and failed to quit many many times. I had people that knew i was trying to quit offer me smokes, and sometimes I would take them up on it.

I can't blame them for my being weak. I can't blame them for me accepting something that I really wished I hadn't. and have you considered the possibility that you would've quit sooner if your friends didn't offer you a smoke but instead helped you with your decision to quit?

and I hope you realize you just blamed your failure on their weakness.

I'm not going to just assume that. Either way I think he is an asshole, but to blame Andy Dick for the end result of Phil hartmans wifes failings is a huge leap in my eyes. just like it's not the Pusher's fault but the buyers.

It's like blaming alcohol advertisers for all alcohol related deaths. Or blame gun advertisers for all gun related deaths. Or like blaming McDonalds advertising for....big difference between advertisments and actually phycially offereing the item.

If she was trying to kick a habit, she should have been in a rehab where she could be isolated from the stuff until she was strong enough to say no when temptation arose.yep... GOD FORBID that Andy Dick has to go without a cocaine hit for a couple of hours because someone else was kicking the habit, and from what I've read, succeeding.

so when are you checking into rehab on your next attempt to quit smoking?

Again, I still think Andy Dick sucks major ass but I will not blame him for Phil Hartmans death.don't think anyone blames Andy Dick for Phill Hartman's death (even John Lovitz says he never blamed Andy Dick for Phill Hartman's death), but he does blame him for causing Brynn's downfall that lead to Phill Hartman's death.

Regardless of what he did or did not know, Andy Dick deserved the ass-kicking.

... True. but if he did know... then he deserved a BIGGER ass-kicking :p

and have you considered the possibility that you would've quit sooner if your friends didn't offer you a smoke but instead helped you with your decision to quit?

no you misunderstand. I blamed their weakness for their offering. Just like Andy Dicks weakness on his offering. And I blamed my failure at the time on my accepting the offer, just like Phils wifes acceptance was her failure.

I eventually was able to quit smoking though but I did have to isolate myself from friends and activities that led me to smoke more.

You see I am taking full responsibility here.

Andy Dick has a cocaine problem and I think that sucks for him. he is just as weak if not weaker than Phil Hartmans wife.

To expect anyone on cocaine to think clearly about anything is your failure.
