I'm sorry for her family, but I always found her humor to be abrasive and mean spirited.

    Yeah, no big loss. They can probably recycle all that plastic and build a dumpster out of it.

    Annnnd that's the downfall of having that type of sense of humor.

    I thought she was hilarious and awesome, too.

    I used to see her in my old NYC neighborhood all the time, and recently listened to an NPR interview with her following the death of Robin Williams. She may not have been everyone's cup of tea, but she made fun of herself as much as she did of others.

    I'm amazed by how many people are "surprised" at her passing... With that much work on a body... :noway:

    I'm sorry she passed away but I've never been a fan. I found her cruel and her jokes cringe-worthy. But again, I'm sorry for her loss and for the grief of her family.

    Right. I don't know exactly what she believed, but am sure that she's in a much better place, as opposed to the suffering she went through in those last days.

    This woman, was someone's mother, and someone's grandmother and assuredly a friend to many. Like her or not, at least give her the respect of a human being.

    This is the kind of joke she would have made herself.

    She was a lady who wasn't afraid to speak her mind, and behind all that, she really had a generous heart.

    I didn't know much about her, but just reading this post of her passing...May she rest in peace. I was reading all sorts of headlines over Facebook last several days...It seemed like she was getting better, but I guess in the end she got worse...I feel bad for her family, having to deal with this. Like I said before, may she forever rest in peace.

    I actually admire her on several levels. She made it as a female comedian in a time where women in show biz were kept around for their looks, not their brains or wittiness. She wasn't afraid to say what was on her mind, and openly did a ton of work for suicide prevention. She kept it real, not considering the amount of plastic surgery she had, of course. I hope her and Johnny Carson work out their strife in the afterlife or something. Classic duo.

    I may not be a fan, but yeah with you - I thought she was on the mend...I feel sorry for her family...but she's wasn't my cup of tea honestly.

    I think she was bold and brave. She definitely shattered glass ceilings.

    I also think she would love all the heckler comments in this thread. :drinker:

    RIP Joan :flowerforyou:

    I liked her humor and non-PC comments. But like many here have said, too much body work

    I'm pretty sure that puppet is supposed to be emulating Phyllis Diller. :laugh:

    Yea, sad to admit, but I feel the same way as TheRoadDog. It's sad that she died and that people did not often see the sweet and softer side of this lady. In very early interviews I saw a different person. Same with Betty White. What a mouth!!:noway:

    That's actually "Madame," of "Wayland Flowers and Madame" fame and man oh man did I just give my age away.
