A national treasure.

Groundhog Day and Ghostbusters will not be forgotten.

 

[Parakeetman]

Man this is sad news indeed.

Rest in Peace Mr. Ramis

 

[Raguel]

Man, and i was thinking about ghostbusters 3 after watching the first one. Gonna rewatch all his old stuff. We lost a legend

 

[davepoobond]

Fuck

 

[Mariolee]

NO. Jeez, is everyone going to die by the end of 2014?? :'( RIP

 

[Cru]

Sucks. I remember my parents made me leave the room during the mud wrestling scene in Stripes.

 

[bro1]

That is way too young. 69 really isn't that old.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Damn. He is a legend and will be missed dearly.

 

[WordAssassin]

I got tagged in this news on Facebook earlier today, Ghostbusters is my Number One movie man. This really fucking sucks.

 

[Mesoian]

OH MAN! NO!

 

[Imbarkus]

Truly sad. Well before his time. RIP.

I would like to add I can't say enough good things about Multiplicity, really enjoyed it.

 

[astroturfing]

NO this is just wrong, simply wrong..

 

[Sephiroth503]

R.I.P. Out of nowhere

 

[bodyboarder]

RIP

 

[RatskyWatsky]

RIP Ramis

 

[Browny]

Incredibly sad news... He will be missed. RIP

 

[KAP151]

I was just watching Ghostbusters 2 yesterday. Egon =(

R.I.P

 

[Dimefan3]

A damn shame, Ghostbusters and Caddyshack are probably my favorite movies of all time.

Wasn't he in American pie as well? Or am I thinking of 'Road Trip'?

 

[EverythingShiny]

I had such a crush on Egon when I watched Ghostbusters for the first time as a kid. Farewell Mr. Ramis, you will be missed.

 

[Feltrol]

May you rest in peace. ='(

 

[CreepingFear]

True story. I saw Richard Lewis and Jeff Garland at the Showest in Chicago. There was a line to get in the bathroom in between the two sets and everyone noticed Harold Ramis walking out of the men's room. People were talking to him and saying hi. He smiled and kind of waved, but seemed shy and embarrassed, but nice.

 

[NekoFever]

I bet Ghostbusters 3 goes ahead with an Egon-inspired ghost, like how John Belushi was supposed to play Venkman but instead inspired Slimer after his death.

 

[Savitar]

Normally I don't get too worked up about celebrity deaths but I grew up with Ghostbusters so I'm very sad by this.

 

[Mariolee]

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

Jeez, wtf.

 

[Oriel]

Well fuck it anyway. This is terrible news, was looking forward to him in Ghostbusters 3.RIP to a legend.

 

[spyhunterzero]

DAMN
RIP I will forever cherrish the laughs that you gave me as a child ;_;

 

[Fritz]

Egon was my favorite ghostbuster. Farewell Harold.

 

[Measley]

Does this mean no Ghostbusters 3?

 

[endresults]

Ahh fuck man, not Egon.

 

[v0yce]

Remember that time he tried to drill a hole in his head?

 

[FnordChan]

Remember that time he tried to drill a hole in his head?

That would have worked if we hadn't stopped him.

Terrible news and the loss of a wonderful talent. Until I read the Chicago Tribute obituary I'd had no idea that Ramis worked on the all powerful National Lampoon Radio Hour. Hearing "Terminal Football" might be a bit more irony than I can take right now, so I'll recommend folks listen to "The Immigrants" for an example of his NatLamp work.

Also, here's my favorite tribute so far, courtesy of Rubber Chicken Comics:

If only we could reverse the polarity flow through the gate. RIP Harold Ramis.

Swap the roles, Egon is the ghost and Venkman is alive.
RIP. Going to have to marathon Ghostbusters/Groundhog Day/Caddyshack asap.

 

[RealDeadOne]

Man, one of the best comedy writers there ever was, what a bummer.

At least he left behind an amazing body of work. RIP, Mr. Ramis.

They really shouldn't even bother with Ghostbusters 3 now, he was an essential part of it.

 

[inm8num2]

A great comedic figure. Sad to hear this news.

 

[Zombie James]

Fuck

 

[rataven]

Oh no

He's given me so many laughs over the years.

Sad, sad news. Rest in peace Harold.

 

[Hale-XF11]

It has to be said. Groundhog Day is the greatest movie ever made and it's all because of Ramis.

 

[thesuperfunk]

Nooo

 

[Mesoian]

Pour one out.

Also, I no longer want Ghostbusters 3. Just scrap whatever's been made.

 

[Kadin]

Just saw this short statement from Bill Murray:

"Harold Ramis and I together did the National Lampoon Show off Broadway, Meatballs, Stripes, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day. He earned his keep on this planet. God bless him."

 

[SoupyFlow]

I was enjoying a nice lunch with co-workers and looked at my phone for two seconds and saw the news. Damn cell phones. R.I.P Egon.

Print is dead.

 

[GitarooMan]

Really sad. Seeing the pictures of all these movies reminds of what a talent he was. Ghostbusters is legendary, and Stripes is also a hilarious movie.

 

[TheBahaBlast]

Damn RIP to a Legend.

That sounds about right. RIP Egon.

 

[RalliArtEvo]

He was a true comedic genius. The world will miss him!

 

[Kadin]

Think it's gonna be a Ramis movie week for me. Have to watch Stripes tonight, Ghostbusters tomorrow night, Ghostbusters II on Wed night, Groundhog Day on Thurs night and Caddyshack on Friday night. God I love his movies... RIP Mr Ramis.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Damn thats awful

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

2014 is merciless in snatching up celebrities.
