This one sucks :-(

I remember my dad getting me into his stuff saying it was some of the funniest stuff you'll ever see. He wasn't wrong.

RIP

 

[Square Triangle]

Weird, I thought he commited suicide in 2009 with Year One.

 

[Jarnet87]

Sad news, he'll always be remembered for his classic films.

 

[SneakySneaks]

Son of bitch. Shit.

Ramis was always an awesome presence in anything he was in. Egon was my favorite Ghostbuster, so this is one of the first celeb deaths in a while that is legitimately making me sad.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Yeah this sucks....

rip Egon.

 

[Dabanton]

Like I say in these threads before someone makes the disgustingly inevitable people die all the time why cry for this guy post.

These are people we've grown up with,they helped shape some of our formative experiences. I still remember seeing Ghostbusters at the cinema and then getting freaked out for weeks afterwards but I enjoyed every min of it. Finally getting old enough to enjoy the sly humour in CaddyShack and Stripes. They enrich our lives with their art.

R.I.P Mr Ramis

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

RIP. He was awesome. Loved him on SCTV and Ghostbusters. Groundhog Day is a classic.

 

[VeryGooster]

I am now in the mood for Caddyshack and it is streaming on Amazon Prime, along with Bedazzled, which I personally felt was an under-appreciated movie.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

He strikes me as the kinda guy who might have a nice afterlife chuckle at the fact he was 69 when he died.

 

[Matrix]

RIP

Awful

 

[Schrade]

Aw man, this is heartbreaking.

I always enjoyed his stuff.

Rest In Peace, Harold. You were a funny guy.

 

[Finaika]

NO

 

[MutFox]

I don't normally post in these celebrity death threads,
but this one hurts, and he was still young.

He truly created some of the most enjoyable
and rewatchable movies in my life.

RIP

 

[Anth0ny]

[Santiako]

This sucks, RIP Harold Egon Ramos.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

....RIP he ...shaped my mind in a way growing up as a kid seeing all his classics on HBO or VHS/DVD. I have no words.

Time for a marathon.

 

[thenexus6]

I wonder if Bill will say anything

 

[Vinegar Joe]

Shit. Involved in at least three of my favourite comedy films of all time. RIP.

 

[Trouble]

Weird, I thought he commited suicide in 2009 with Year One.

What the fuck man?

 

[SlowRevolution]

Well fuck.

RIP.

@garywhitta The ultimate tribute to Harold Ramis would be a Twinkie “35 feet long weighing approximately 600 pounds”. Do it @Hostess_Snacks!

[Host Samurai]

Another part of my childhood gone.

RIP Egon

 

[richiek]

I'll be collecting molds, spores and and fungus in your honor.

RIP Harold.

 

[Korigama]

Very unexpected. I enjoyed Groundhog Day and his work in Ghostbusters in particular. RIP.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Wow..

This sucks

I watched Ghostbusters 1 and 2 like a month ago.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

RIP - just watched a bit of Stripes last night in passing. Great comedian.

 

[Volimar]

Another part of my childhood gone.

RIP Egon

When Bill Murray kicks, I'm not getting out of bed.

Agreed

It's called having empathy, some people lack it

 

[SlipperySlope]

Was just watching Ghostbusters the other day.

Didn't realize he was sick. Guess everyone we know will go at some point, but with each significant figure from my childhood passing the world gets slightly less colorful.

RIP.

I once heard that you know you're getting old when everybody you knew in your childhood is dead.

That said, holy shit. I had no idea this was coming. He will be missed.

My favorite scene in Ghostbusters was when Venkman was talking to Janine for a good two minutes, then leaves. Then up pops Egon from under her desk.

gtfo with this shit.

 

[JaseC]

:O

Out of nowhere. RIP. My favorite Ghostbuster and the first VHS movie I watched and rewatched as kid.

Yeah, I had no idea he had such serious health issues so the thread title was a bit of a shock. RIP.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Groundhog day

 

[Jade Knight 08]

R.I.P. Harold!

 

[Credo]

When I was a child, I dressed up as a Ghostbuster for Halloween and wore an Egon mask. It may have been the cartoon version with the weird blond pompadour, but in my mind, I was dressed up as the TRUE Egon, Harold Ramis.

Rest in peace, Harold.

 

[Volimar]

 

[Silas Lang]

His work in Ghostbusters alone had a huge impact on my childhood. RIP Ramis

 

[thenexus6]

Doe...Ray... EGON!!

 

[Wickerman]

WTF

 

[Daffy Duck]

Damn it, RIP.

 

[Forsete]

RIP


I watched Ghostbusters on Netflix just a few months ago. I hadn't watched it in at least 10 years before that.

I've dreaded the day the first of the original Ghostbusters dies since my childhood. It really sucks

 

[Skilotonn]

Awww man, Egon

And he wrote/directed Groundhog's Day? To think I only found out like this.

R.I.P.
