Fingers crossed I have an 80 year old in mind

u/DullBicycle7200 Aug 26 '26

I'm guessing this 80 year old appeared in Home Alone 2?

u/MrDibbsey Aug 26 '26

That's how we got into the situation with Tim, please be more specific!

If Rob Schneider catches a stray, that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

His career is already dead

u/Cthulhu_Dreams_ Aug 26 '26

I mean, he's still selling "tears of the left"...to someone I'm sure.

I bought one in 2016 back when politics mattered

Well, sadly, there is now zero confusion about which 80-year-old Home Alone 2 actor we're talking about. In fact at this point, aside from people who played bit parts, the only living octogenarians from Home Alone 2 are Joe Pesci (83), the Plaza hotel desk clerk/Dana Ivey (85), Uncle Frank/Gerry Bamman (84) + Aunt Leslie/Terrie Snell (82), and of course Velveeto fucking Corleone (80).

Too many people were praying about "the smarmy bastard in Home Alone 2" oops

Can you imagine if two 80 year old actors from Home Alone 2 died on the same day??

19

u/3milerider Aug 26 '26

Yes, but you’ve gotta be more specific so we don’t monkey’s paw the wrong person.

u/jedberg Aug 26 '26

Ok I fixed it ;)

u/myusername_sucks Aug 26 '26

You know Pesci was in that movie as well right?

u/jedberg Aug 26 '26

Yea but he's 83 (I double checked).

u/The_Munz Aug 26 '26

Crazy that we've already lost three this year (also Brenda Fricker and Catherine O'Hara).

u/xohurricane Aug 26 '26

Unfortunately death comes in 3 and we just lost Hayden

u/ShooterOfCanons Aug 26 '26

Bad things happen in 3s. Although I'd like to take a 2 good 1 bad approach this time. We've lost two national treasures in 24 hours, now it's time to lose a national embarrassment. 🍊

u/captnconnman Aug 26 '26

These things usually come in threes, so…🍿

u/joecarter93 Aug 26 '26

…who was also in Home Alone 2

u/nome707 Aug 26 '26

Give that damned reaper a gps that works

u/Murgatroyd314 Aug 26 '26

A reality tv star?

u/glittler Aug 26 '26

We should only be so lucky

u/UnholyDemigod Aug 26 '26

He can’t die yet. He needs to face at least some tiny semblance of a consequence first.

1

u/RedPandaReturns Aug 27 '26

I'm not lying when I say I'm far beyond that, I could not give a shit about consequences at this point anymore.

u/g0kartmozart Aug 26 '26

The great big beautiful blood clot could be on the move any day now.

u/spare_me_over Aug 26 '26

They say these things come in threes, so....crossing my fingers.

u/AyoGGz Aug 26 '26

Yuppp, that’s a news I’m looking forward to seeing
