He's gone... and done it again.
He's no longer with us... he's the same length with everyone
He kicked the bucket… out of the way so nobody trips, good guy Mel.
Mel Brooks, legendary comedic writer, actor, and director, has died… of laughter after seeing this post.
He is 6 feet under - in his basement laughing.
Unless you're making a joke.
It's the kind of joke the man himself would find tame though.

Mel Brooks has passed the age of 100
I feel like this could be right up his ally for humor. Someone gets sad and the person reading the paper (specifically not the obits) is confused. "They've passed the age. They're 101 now."
Newspaper says "Mel Brooks has passed", the newspaper is unfolded to reveal "the age of 100"
"Mel Brooks has passed", "go and will collect $200"
You monster
You son of a bitch, take my upvote!
Don't fucking scare me like that…. Gees.
Bro do NOT put “Mel Brooks” and “passed” in the same headline together. Good lort need to put my heart back in my chest lol

I read it wrong. I added an "at" in there. He content isnt available in the UK because its imgr or something so i had to google it and he is fine. I felt much better. You need a slap.
Ironically, I had to use Imgur because Lemmy.world disallows posting and uploads via the VPN that I utilize, and direct upload chokes due to some stupid shit the regulator and providers around here are pulling.
The way things in the Europes and the US are going, in a few years most Western VPNs will be of no avail for accessing the sites I want. We'll both have to VPN through Mexico or somesuch.
Not gonna lie, had me in the first half
Incorrect. He just started being 100. He is not going to pass that age until next year.
He's been around for a hundred years, and is now in his hundred-and-first.
At a small point in time he passed 100 year mark then began accruing seconds, minutes, hours past it. Acktuuallly ;)

Angriest upvote possible
That's all she wrote...
-Mel Brooks, after reading a birthday card where the sender just used the preprinted greeting and only wrote her name in.
Sleep well, prince. Then wake up and go about your old day once more.
this is not the right thing to see when you just woke up. you got me
Goddammit OP, fix your wording. I was really upset about his passing for a solid five minutes before I read another comment clarifying your post.
Almost like that was the intent or something.
Fucking legend!
Happy birthday 🎂
It was good to be the king...
RIP you absolute legend. The Schwartz be with you, always.
Edit. Oh wait, not that kind of passed. Well he's still an absolute fucking legend. More so for making it to 100.
Oh wow I did not read that title right
Still on track for Space Balls 2.
He’s still working on Mel Brooks 2: The Quest for More Money.
Mel Brooks is an og shit poster
The power of the schwarts!
that's a great picture you picked to go along with your post, you fuckwad ;)
A shame, he is no longer allowed to play with legos.
I think Lego recently changed this because of Sir David Attenborough.
