Funny guy died today.

Say wha?

RIP

It's heartbreaking to hear about this, he was an incredible comedian and a smart guy. I'm sad to hear he's gone, GOD bless his family and friends.

Comedian Patrice O'Neal dies at 41

(CBS) Actor and comedian Patrice O'Neal died Monday night, according to his friends at the "Opie and Anthony" radio show, reports TMZ.

O'Neal suffered a stroke in October. Fellow comic Jim Norton told E!, in October that there was no word whether he would fully recover.

The 41-year-old comedian was a regular guest on the "Opie and Anthony" radio show and appeared on "Chappelle Show," "The Office," and even performed at the "Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen" in September.

Opie Radio tweeted, "Yes it's true that our pal Patrice O'Neal has passed away. The funniest and best thinker I've ever known PERIOD."

Awww...man. I just caught his special Elephant in the Room last weekend on Netflix and absolutely LOVED it!! Been telling my friends about it. And now he's DEAD. R.I.P. Patrice. You had me rollin' on the floor last weekend, bro.

damn.. I believe he had a stroke the day after Heavy died...

WTF?

He had such great potentialls, I only came to know him through that interview he did about Tracy Morgan's incident.

Extremely funny guy, sorry to hear about that.

aww, wow, too young too.

He was hilarious. I remember him being on the I Love the 90s VH1 specials.

Here's him on Boyz II Men.

R.I.P. Patrice.

I remember he hosted the first web-like TV show back in 2005 that Daniel Tosh and others have now, Web Junk 20-20.

Rest in peace.

A very funny dude!

In his special he talks about his diabetes and the troubles of getting older. I really enjoyed him.

RIP not shocking to hear since he had that stroke and people said there was almost no chance he would recover so it was his time.

Aww man, he was a really funny guy. I loved his rants on Orca and Midnight Express from I Love the 70's. He was also really great on Opie and Anthony too. The only reason I tuned into that show was to hear him.

RIP

I really wasn't all that familiar with his work. I was aware of him as a personality, but only really began to focus on him from seeing him on the Charlie Sheen Roast, where they made some mention (...in the form of mean jokes) of his current health problems. He seemed like a good sport, may he be resting peacefully.

I listened to both these clips and like how Patrice stood up for Gary Coleman. I never liked how people made fun of Gary or how they treated him as a joke. The way Patrice spoke up on Gary's behalf makes me all the more sad now that he's gone too.

Rest In Peace

This man served funny with a side of cold "In your face...YEAH I said it."

I checked out his Comedy Central Special "Elephant in the Room". I was !Que cojones!

Therefore, in his memory I shall, respectfully mind you, sexually harass my ex, this week.

I just heard he sufferred from diabetes, too. Men, please start taking obesity more seriously. Most of the leading causes of death for men are obesity-related.

What I liked about Patrice was that he, a Black man, was not a

comedian whose routine focused on pointing out the differences between

Black and White America. I mean, how many times am I going to

hear the joke about how Black people "beat dey kids" and white

people do not.

But rather, Patrice was a thinker; I was telling my brother about two months ago

after listening to his Black Phillips radio show that Patrice could've easily

been a sociologyprofessor at Harvard. Like most gifted comics, he had

insane observation skills and the ability to point out how silly humanity really is

essentially.

The guy was brilliant and I'm sure that future generations will herald him as a

genius; yes, he was in fact a genius.

But I think we should also mention that Black America needs to wake up and

start dealing with its health/obesity/ diabetes issues. Patrice use to always

joke about not eating correctly despite having diabetes and the mutherfucker

is dead now probably because of a diabetes induced stroke.

Geniuses aint known fer havin' the best batch of common sense.....

Aw man...

I listened to the first clip and I am so saddened that he's gone too.

Shit sucks.

What in the fuckity fuck?!?!

I was just telling my sister a joke of his over Thanksgiving vacation. I can't believe this.

R.I.P. brother

That Creep Rant is one the the realist/funniest things ever!

Hey even PRINCE made a cover!

At least I liked Patrice's politically incorrect humor. F*** those haters!

The entertainment world lost another one. Sad. RIP

Health ain't no joke. People need to wake up and start giving a shit about what they are putting into their body on a daily basis. People's disgusting, unhealthy diets make me SMH on literally, a daily basis.

People ask me all the time how I look so good and why I never get sick. And I tell 'em, straight up, it's because I eat healthily. It's not rocket science.

Instead of a popping a few pills to alleviate symptoms, how about looking at the problem itself? There's a great deal of evidence that many cases of diabetes can be almost completely reversed simply by an improved diet. As well as dozens of other illnesses.

RIP to this dude, he was a talent and should have taken his health seriously.
