RIP Harris Wittels

[ackbar]

died of a heroin overdose today. shit is no joke

if you're unfamiliar, he was a writer, stand up & actor. he most notably wrote, exec-produced & acted on parks & recreation. he was the guy who invented the "humblebrag" & ran that twitter account. his own twitter was hilarious as well.

i had been following him for a while now & he was def one of the best of the younger generation doing their thing in the comedy world

if you want some insight into his life, listen to his latest episode of 'you made it weird' where he talks about his addiction in depth. might be kind of a depressing listen RN tho

A$AP Yams, The Jacka & Harris Wittels. 2015 been shit for deaths so far

[stupidregister]

His bit parts on Park and Rec were funny but now I realize they were funny because he was actually doped up during them.

I feel no sympathy for junkies.

[ackbar]

fuck you. you're an idiot & an asshole.

he also wrote for east bound & down and had his own podcast anaylze phish

[LilLeftBrain]

ahhh fuck
still have that YMIW saved on the phone, can't fathom listening to that now

Just posted this in the P&R thread. He was hilarious, shit sucks. RIP.

[blastmaster]

Funny dude. Was always open about his issues. It was cool to watch the humblebrag thing grow. RIP.

[Blockhead]

rip...

[ObeseJesus]

fucking sucks. Wittels was funny every time he'd pop up in something. He was my favorite guest on the comedy bang bang podcast.

rip

[Ramen]

damn I had no idea dude was into that. I always thought hot saucerman was lame honestly and only listened to CDR for the guests, twittles being one of them.

RIP.

[Versive]

Dude was a year ahead of me at Emerson. R.I.P.

[Brougham33]

Shitty news, just listened to that "You made it Weird" episode, really touching and hilarious, and now depressing.

[binary]

dude was DOPE on Comedy bang bong.

What would you say were the essential Wittels podcast appearances?

What would you say were the essential Wittels podcast appearances?

I've listened to all 10 episodes of the Phish one since he passed, and can't recommend them highly enough. He's amazingly, effortlessly funny in every one of them.

I don't even like Phish, at all.

His Phone/Foam corner bits on CBB are a must as well.

[Ramen]

foam corners are essential.

in particular, one of the earlier cdr episodes where he was doing Jack the lumberjack still cracks me up.

[Blockhead]

I second that the Analyze phish podcasts are great. Especially if you're not a fan of phish.

[ackbar]

don't do opiates bruhs

[battlecatmeowstab212]

Yeah, jam band music is the one genre I absolutely cannot listen to, but this thread has inspired me to check it out.

[ackbar]

phish is definitely terrible

[LilLeftBrain]

nope, definitely not

[Ramen]

not surprised you like phish. no shade.

[battlecatmeowstab212]

Great call on the Phish podcast. I'm one episode in and loved it.

Especially the way reacts to the underwhelming response to the Spacehog cover.

[peanut butter]

Pretty intense episode of You Made It Weird featuring Whittles, talking about his addiction.

Aziz's piece on him is fantastic, the sexual harassment email made me laugh really really loudly at work
