JoeMoneypenny 55 Posted November 16, 2018 His death will be a somber event,and a reminder of the classic films people used to be able to make before the world got offended by everything.The PC Police of 2018 would protest most of the jokes in Dracula: Dead and Loving It 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooseberry Crumble 5,347 Posted March 16, 2020 Just spotted Mel Brooks trending on Twitter and thought the worst. But it seems he was trending because of a coronavirus social distancing joke video he made with his son. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because he’s healthy and still somewhat active. The fact that he hasn’t died this year and is still making occasional appearances is testament to that.

ajlposh 548 Posted November 5, 2020 When Mel’s best friend Carl Reiner died a few months ago, I thought it was very possible that Mel wouldn’t be far behind. So I don’t think it would be out of the question to consider him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t the death on one of them is exactly going to push him over the edge, especially when he seems to be fine health wise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no reason why he shouldn’t make 98. After all, Reiner made it to that age. I feel as though Bob Newhart and Michael Parkinson would be two better 2021 DL picks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
