I'm going to pull a Matthew Perry here and say it should have been Andy Dick to die that night.

He was so perfectly smarmy in Jingle all the Way.

Andy Dick is indirectly responsible.

[josiefier]

Considering he's proud to have a body count and was also partially responsible for David Strickland's death less than a year later, I'm okay with wishing Andy the absolute worst

[doriiansz]

I didn't know he had a part in David's demise. Another tragic death. He was so young too 💔

[josiefier]

What's worse is it was similar to what he did to Brynn. David was trying to get sober too, even temporarily. He had a court date on the day he was found. But that weekend, Andy, we'll say threw a wrench into that

I've never found Jon Lovitz funny but I've always appreciated that he fucking hates Andy Dick. He's iconic for bashing Andy Dick's face into a bartop after Dick was gross about Phil about 15 years ago.

Jon Lovitz is, like, anti-funny which I weirdly find pretty funny tbh.

[josiefier]

My thoughts exactly

[aleksie]

I like Lovitz when he voices characters, but yes re. Andy Dick.

[choukoumei]

Honestly considering how horrible he is and how big of an addict it is amazing he is still alive. I don’t blame Lovitz for being angry with him.

It’s always the guys like him who seem to live the longest and it always pisses me off.

[filmstudent23]

That’s cuz we’re in literal hell. I don’t believe in the afterlife or going to Jesus anymore, but I do believe that good people go out of this world faster cuz there’s someplace better than this dump where they’re happy and thriving.

[ahkna]

The worst people live the longest. *screams into the void about henry kissinger turning 100*

[dianakingston]

Makes sense, if I were the Devil I'd be doing my damndest to keep Andy Dick away from my house for as long as possible

[progression]

I still can’t believe that he told Jon Lovitz he was putting the “Hartman hex” on him. I know he’s been coked out of his mind for decades, but he’s just truly so vile.
