OJ Simpson, former football star acquitted of murder, dies at 76
Actual article title: O.J. Simpson, former football star acquitted of murder, dies at 76.
"On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer."
Asked to comment, the cancer claimed innocence and vowed to catch the real killer.
(that one's for you, Norm)
Finally, OJ can rest knowing his wife’s killer is dead.
That's gold, Jerry.
GOLD!
The best use of AI.
I would argue Plankton covering Beggin' is the best use of A.I., with this #2.
This just makes me miiss Norm McDonald
Here's a montage, if anyone wants to see some of the OJ jokes that got him fired from SNL
(Link fixed!)
He knew he would be fired if he didn't stop. He didn't stop. That absolute legend.
How many of the weekend update jokes did he write? I assumed they mostly came from the writer's room (and that he may or not be there, but it at least wouldn't be all or maybe even mostly him)
Your montage is just a link to youtube. Well played?
Rest In Piss
Me in high school watching the Bronco chase:
“Fuck, this asshole is going ruin the Naked Gun movies for me now.”
I used to worry about that too! Thankfully Leslie Nielson always was the true star so the movies hold up
TBH I still love that gun assembly bit with all of my heart.
I still appreciate that shitty dummy falling off the stands.
One of the football greats, but the whole murder thing was a real bad look tbh
It was indeed a bad look in that economy, but you have to consider the times.
The other thread got deleted but @ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world threw down this gem that cracked me up
"If I Did It" by CANCER
I know, it sucks. Naked Gun is one of my favorites, and he was great in it. Too bad he turned out to be a shithead.
I'm just going to pretend his role in Capricorn One was a government conspiracy.
I've heard Leslie Nielsen was a humorless prick in real life, too. But actors pretend to be someone they're not on screen, it's their literal job, so I still enjoy their work just fine.
One of the few times where you root for the cancer
It will be interesting to see what the Bills do. He played a bit before my time, but he was a big part of the Bills identity in the 70s.
I've heard lots of stories about how good OJ was at knifing through the backfield....
Oh nooo……who will the news channels reach out to now when they desperately need legal advice on critical issues like should it be illegal to pay hush money payment to a pornstar to influence the election outcome?
Such a tragedy
They finally squeezed the Juice.
Did he ever find the killer like he said he would?
He did though! Every morning when he got up, he stared him in the face as he brushed his teeth
Good riddance.
I was wondering why the world felt like it was a better place.
I'm glad that cancer was finally able to shake the OJ Simpson disease and is feeling much better.
Well. As Norm McDonald said, it's more of a draw: in this case the cancer also died when OJ died.
I know we can have both but there sure are a few people that I wish it was.
Good.
I personally think he was guilty and that the jury made the right decision. Such a fucking mess.
Yeah, the lawyer did a great job creating "reasonable doubt." I think if we want a justice system that defaults toward innocence, we have to be willing to let a murderer out on the streets for every 100 innocents who also walk. I'd rather have that result than jailing 100 innocents so we can catch the one murderer.
I really don't think the doubt was reasonable. At least I'm 100% certain he was guilty and was ever since I watched the car chase. The cops fucking up the investigation has no impact on what I saw with my own eyes.
An innocent rich man doesn't fucking run away from the cops and have to be talked out of suicide to face trial. No fucking way.
I'd rather let 100 guilty men go free than chase after them
They tried to frame a guilty man.
I personally think he was guilty.
So do the rest of us, there's mountains of evidence to prove that he was guilty.
and that the jury made the right decision. Such a fucking mess.
So you think he was guilty, and that it was appropriate for the jury to acquit him for the murder?
Explain to me please, why you think deaths were justified and that OJ deserved to walk free if he's guilty?
Because the prosecution failed to make their case, mishandled the evidence, and were torn apart by a well funded defense.
Nothing justifies the deaths, and I would not try to. But being able to mount a defense against charges made on you by the government is a cornerstone of our justice system.
Thus I do feel comfortable saying that I think he was guilty and that the jury acted properly. The case was NOT well presented at all, even with all the evidence they had.
"why you think deaths were justified"
They didn't say that.
Oh no, now who will take up the mantle to find the real killer?!
This one Hertz.
If they have an open casket with him wearing the gloves I will be giddy
I was having a bad day. This is good news.
Oh God! C'mon dude! It's the other fat guy in a red hat! Do I have to use one of my remaining wishes again?!!! Is that how prayers work now? But what if I think of a wish accidentally? Oh man, I was thinking about Boeing engine covers the other day and how flimsy they are. I didn't mean that wish, can I get back the credit? Oh shit, I have to take back the Mindy wish too! Sorry Mindy! I'm sure they do make bras for 3 boobs in double D's...right? Or can we take it back? Oh please take it back! Oh please God! Oh please St Peter, help me find my keys too..hey men!
Once a Bronco, Always a Bronco.
I hope he only lives up to 76 one time! Otherwise it sounds really painful if he keeps dying like that every single time he's 76.
I'm glad he got away with it
In an odd coincidence, the real killer reportedly died at the exact same time.
Norm?
