RIP joan rivers

Yet another comedian who used comedy as a facade to mask her flawed life and character.

I could maybe agree with what Freddie said, if it weren't for the fact that Rivers was every bit as deprecating toward herself, as she was towards others.  She didn't have any problem making herself the butt of the joke or for someone else doing it.  She was the female equivalent of Don Rickles, who is also a very funny person.  I loved Fashion Police and will miss her.  My guess is they will cancel the show.  I can't imagine it could be any good without her.

"In her honour, here are 26 quotes that still make us laugh."

"I wish I had a twin, so I could know what I'd look like without plastic surgery."

"I hate housework. You make the beds, you do the dishes, and six months later, you have to start all over again."

At the Logies in 2006: "I don't know why the f--- I'm here. I know you're all famous, and I hope you all win, [but] I don't know who you are."

"I don't exercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor."

"I was born in 1962 … and the room next to me was 1963."

"I have no sex appeal. If my husband didn't toss and turn, we'd never have had the kid."

"I've had so much plastic surgery, when I die, they will donate my body to Tupperware."

"I am definitely going to watch the Emmys this year! My makeup team is nominated for Best Special Effects."

"A study says owning a dog makes you 10 years younger. My first thought was to rescue two more, but I don't want to go through menopause again."

"My love life is like a piece of Swiss cheese; most of it's missing, and what's there stinks."

"I was so ugly that they sent my picture to Ripley's Believe It or Not and he sent it back and said, 'I don't believe it.'"

"You know why I feel older? I went to buy sexy underwear and they automatically gift wrapped it."

"I must admit I am nervous about getting Alzheimer's. Once it hits, I might tell my best joke and never know it."

"Half of all marriages end in divorce - and then there are the really unhappy ones."

"My breasts are so low, now I can have a mammogram and a pedicure at the same time."

"Did you hear Tom Cruise just had a baby? He was there when it was born … he should have been there when it was conceived."

"Don't tell your kids you had an easy birth or they won't respect you. For years I used to wake up my daughter and say, 'Melissa, you ripped me to shreds. Now go back to sleep.'"

"I was dating a transvestite, and my mother said, "Marry him, you'll double your wardrobe.'"

"My sex life is so bad, my G-spot has been declared a historical landmark."

"The funniest [writer] in person but rather boring on the page is, hands down, Leo Tolstoy. If I hear one more time: 'How many czars does it take to change a light bulb? None; they didn't have them in those days,' I think I'll scream!"

"The fashion magazines are suggesting that women wear clothes that are 'age appropriate.' For me that would be a shroud."

"Grandchildren can be so f---ing annoying. How many times can you go, 'And the cow goes moo and the pig goes oink'? It's like talking to a supermodel."

"Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century."

"The only way I can get a man to touch me at this age is plastic surgery."

"At my funeral, I want Meryl Streep crying in five different accents."

"I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present."

Deb I don't expect people to agree with me, but, I say it as I see it I feel for her family and those who loved her and certainly hope she's at peace.


She probably doesn't want peace and would rather flip back the lid of her casket at the funeral and say "sucked in bozos".

 

I didn't see a lot of fashion police but must confess to laughing at what I saw of it.

Probably because there's the risk of hurting those that cared for the deceased, sin.

Also because what would the point? They're gone and that's the an end of it.

Earthly justice no longer applies.

RIP Joan,

 

a true troubadour and tireless artist. She could have done it without the vulgarity, she had the talent to rise above it,  but it became her shtick and she stuck with it.

 

Many will miss her.
