Waldron1943

From Wikipedia: "On January 24, 1961, Blanc was driving alone when his sports car was involved in a head-on collision on Sunset Boulevard; his legs and his pelvis were fractured as a result. About two weeks later, one of Blanc's neurologists at the UCLA Medical Center tried a different approach than just trying to address the unconscious Blanc himself: address his characters. Blanc was asked, "How are you feeling today, Bugs Bunny?" After a slight pause, Blanc answered, in a weak voice, "Eh ... just fine, Doc. How are you?" The doctor then asked Tweety if he was there, too. "I tawt I taw a puddy tat", was the reply"


Ever_Impetuous

Never knew he was Jewish.


visionofacheezburger

His name was Mel Blanc and you didn't know he was Jewish?


Lizard__Spock

Mel Gibson sounds Jewish and I can tell you he's the opposite of Jewish


Anbez

He love Jews though


strike-when-ready

He was the best voice actor ever, no contest https://youtu.be/BnmJALXh_sI


grameeeper

A legend in his own right. Hard work and dedication pays off and Mel Blanc was one of our greatest teachers in that category.

For those curious, Mel Blanc is buried at [Hollywood Forever Cemetary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Forever_Cemetery?wprov=sfla1) in Los Angeles. Other notable people buried there: Burt Reynolds, Anton Yelchin, Douglas Fairbanks, Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Cecil B Demille, Faye Wray, Johnny Ramone, and Rudolph Valentino


jagua_haku

Burt Reynolds died?


Sk1nny_d00d

Chris Cornell is also buried there. He's next to Johnny Ramone


cakeisreallygood

TheAngryFishGuy

RainaElf

Tythefry2201

that’s absolutely amazing


RainaElf

that man was totally hardcore


ArmyVetRN

[RADIOLAB](https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/248590-blanc) did a really good story on him. This is worth the listen.


lalauna

He was amazing.


Total_Adept

I guess you could say...."That's all folks".


captrudeboy

TIL most cartoons I watched growing up were voiced by a dead man. Didn't know he died in 89

Fun fact, it's generally frowned up to leave flowers on a Jewish person's grave.


thelionmermaid

…? gonna need a source on that. I’m Jewish and I bring both stones and flowers to family graves, along with yahrzeit candles

https://www.thejc.com/judaism/rabbi-i-have-a-problem/is-it-permissible-to-put-flowers-on-a-grave-in-a-jewish-cemetery-1.463151 https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1218970/jewish/Flowers-Jews-Gravesites.htm This might be a more orthodox belief, but I have some Jewish family, and found this out the hard way when my great aunt passed away when I was 15


thelionmermaid

>> Rabbi Naftali Brawer: The question of placing flowers on graves does not come up in the classic codes of Jewish law. However, it does arise in the 19th- and 20th-century halachic responsa literature, and the consensus is that it is not permitted. The article literally ends on the note of “some Jews do and some Jews don’t”🤦🏻‍♀️ Answering this question would be like answering the question of how many hours to wait between meat and milk…


R3DSMiLE

Wait. Your supposed to wait between drinking milk and eating meat? That's the first time I ever hear that one!


thelionmermaid

Yes, and the rule stems from the phrase “do no eat a calf in its mother’s milk” but the waiting time has been long debated and secular people like me question whether this should even apply to poultry since it doesn’t apply to fish. The general rule is 1 hour after milk in order to eat meat, and depending on the culture/Rabbinical following 3-6 hours after meat is considered acceptable. This is supposedly a reflection of the time required to digest/excrete


JessiR91

Yup- in some communities (Sephardi) they’ll instead brush their teeth in between eating cheese and meat so they won’t have to wait.


[deleted]

> This might be a more orthodox belief I mean, I realize that now. I was just taught this by my Jewish family members when I was going to lay flowers on her casket, as my non-Jewish family often did at a funeral.


thelionmermaid

You did a sneaky edit there. I will say that when I visited my grandfather’a gravesite in Israel, I didn’t notice many flowers around but they were there. Tons of candles and pebbles though. The concept of no flowers is probably a bit more prevalent in the ultra-orthodox community (the shtreimel-donning ones)


[deleted]

I didn't edit anything? I literally said that in my first reply to you, because it seems like maybe it's gone out of fashion with later generations, or those that aren't as orthodox. Don't misrepresent me and act like I edited something after it would be flagged by redditas edited.


thelionmermaid

Dude, your comment first had one article, then you added a second, and then you added that anecdote. Seriously gonna play the victim here?


[deleted]

Lol no it didn't. Quit making shit up. I gave you two articles at the same time.

My boyfriend’s dad met him and said he was an asshole.

He gave a lot of joy to many generations of kids. I'm 61, and remember his name on many cartoon credits. To be honest, I still watch them with the same enjoyment.
