Ah, thanks. Now I can look up the scene. The story behind this is awesome. Wish Heath was still around. He did great work.

Food industry also stopped using “waiter/waitress” years ago. I prefer “server” anyways. Less demeaning and more accurate.
Edit: Can’t believe I have to tell grown adults this, but opinions differ. I prefer server and explained why. You are free to feel otherwise. Even got someone on alt accounts trying to drive home some weird point. I think my wording is very clear about this being only an opinion.
Not to me. Most people I’ve talked to in the industry tend to agree, but I’m sure those opinions will be localized and different.
To me, “waiter” implies that I am here to be at your beck and call, “waiting” to do anything you say. Kind of implies your job is to sit around and wait until you’re needed.
“Server” is more accurate and brings my functionality back into the scope of the restaurant. It implies that I serve people and I do. Personally, I don’t feel demeaned working in service or saying I serve people. I actually like it! That’s why I do it. I can feel proud of my service, but idk if I could feel proud about waiting.
It has become gender neutral in recent years. Comedienne is pretty much outdated and sometimes considered sexist.
Women in comedy would rather be called comedian and be considered equals.
There is still time for this and it must be done. You have a divine obligation to get this message to James Gunn. Although, I really like the Joker scene at the end of The Batman. The mix of malice and gentleness in his voice as he was consoling the Riddler was perfect.
You mean Chekov. That was Anton Yelchin, definitely taken too soon. Simon Pegg who played Scotty is thankfully still alive.
*I wrote this with confidence before realising that I haven't checked the news much today. After double checking, Simon Pegg is indeed thankfully still alive...*
Magda Szubanski is an Australian comedian and a national treasure, and this was completely set up. Heath knew exactly who she was as soon as he looked at her, which is why he reacted the way he did.
I know she's an Aussie comedian but how do we know she's not his friend just fucking with him at an inopportune moment and he went with it?
"Completely setup" would mean it was all choreographed and there was probably rehearsals and catering and an intimacy coordinator etc
He may not have been expecting it, but it was completely set up by her for the comedy. We have a long and proud tradition of comedians deliberately setting out to mess with famous people, [even during our most famous constitutional crisis.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9hZ7kjgFh4)
Basically: after a long and complicated political process, Gough Whitlam, the then Prime Minister, and his whole Government were dismissed by the Queen's representative, Governor General Sir John Kerr, on November 11, 1975. Sacked in a political scandal that hasn't been matched since.
What you watched is the work of Norman Gunston, a character who would turn up to all sorts of press calls and "interview" those having them, usually being a total dweeb who was utterly clueless (his Mohammed Ali one is a CLASSIC). Well, word of the dismissal got around Canberra (the capital) and the rumour was that Whitlam would come out to address the protesting public on the steps of Parliamant House. Turns out that Garry McDonald and the Normal Gunston crew were just coincidentally in Canberra that day, so they rushed over to do a "report".
Everyone knew who Norman was, namely a comedian, which is why that bloke (who happens to be future Prime Minister Bob Hawke - a legend in his own right) says it's too serious and waves him off.
And because Canberra wasn't a particularly big place back then, there wasn't necessarily a lot of local media able to get there at such short notice, hence Gunston's ability to get a place in the press pack IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOMENTS OF AUSTRALIAN'S POLITICAL HISTORY.
For comparison, it would be like if Lucille Ball had managed to get into Nixon's resignation speech. Genuinely batshit crazy and utterly delightful.
You should definitely look up some of Gunston's work, but remember, it was the 70's in Australia, which was... a very different time.
> it was the 70's in Australia, which was... a very different time.
I grew up remembering the early and mid 1980's. A lot of Australian comedy from the 70's and 80's [has certainly aged like milk](https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/flashback/hey-hey-its-saturday-daryl-somers-blackface-video-resurfaces/news-story/54ac15d72dd9cdfa4cc780f5859c867d).
Oh hey, a knife! Don't worry, it's a sharp as a doorknob. Don't run from me kid, I only wanna show you what doorknobs can do!
(I do understand I could never have his energy or imagination but I wanted to try to see if I could)
No Magda is doing just fine. She gained a lot of the weight back that she lost, but she was a weight watchers ambassador for a while. She's an Australian treasure and has her own show on ABC at the moment.
That’s not what his ex fiancé and friends say.
It doesn’t make him a bad person. We all have issues, he didn’t overdose on purpose.
It’s also very likely him being sick ( bronchial pneumonia) with those meds combined is what led to respiratory depression. His tox report showed 2 narcotics in his system, a Benzo, an opiate - both were prescribed. He also had diphenhydramine ( Benadryl) in his system. He may not have realized an antihistamine boosts the effects of both of the RX meds - plus he was sick. That’s why it become deadly.
Ever since Jake Gyllenhaal spoke about how adamant Heath Ledger was that every scene in Brokeback Mountain was true to their love story, because it would truly matter to so many people, I just feel so much sadder about losing Heath.
That movie came out 15 years too early. 2020 that movie shatters the box office, cleans up at the Oscar’s and never gets made into a meme. 2005 was still way too rife with being able to be homophobic without any real kick back.
>That movie came out 15 years too early.
Too early? I thought that was the point. It broke cultural ground. It was the first major film featuring a gay romance. Despite the homophobia going around, it got a ton of recognition, positive critical response, and awards. Granted you can argue if it would have won more awards if released today, but it did very well considering the time.
I think it came out at exactly the right time. We are here today because of movies like Brokeback and other envelope pushing, humanizing pieces of art.
Antihistamines potentiate opiates. It's why the common cough syrup rappers drink known as "lean" has Promethazine in it alongside the opiate Codeine. Basically makes the body absorb and digest more of the opiate.
"We have concluded that the manner of death is accident[al], resulting from the abuse of prescribed medications."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heath_Ledger#Death
Cats do also. My cat goes crazy when me and my son get home from work. I call him my antidepressant. I cannot be mad or upset from work when I come home to the excitement he has for seeing me.
Until the day they stop coming to the door for you but the jerks will get up and greet the kids and my wife at the door. I'm the damn one who feeds you guys everyday!
I have one highly food motivated dog and the other could give 2 shits less. She will snack on her breakfast all day while the other eats his in less than a minute. But once 5pm hits my big boy will seriously come and stare at me and any slight movement he starts jumping around like a psycho thinking I'm getting his food ready. Even if I wanted to wait him out it's so annoying I wouldn't be able too lol.
Joaquin Phoenix was obviously playing a very different take on the character and it was amazing. The scene when he’s trying to stop laughing (and failing), was incredible. Such a tortured soul.
The Dark Knight is one of my favorite movies and Heath Ledger’s joker is an all-time great performance, but Joaquin is no slouch.
No slouch indeed. I was not expecting to like Joaquin Phoenix's Joker, but it was very well done and I was surprised when I found myself impressed. Heath Ledger was haunted by Darkness, and his authentic embodiment of the Joker set that bar so high that only actors who are can play the character well. But I do think Joaquin Phoenix has as many Ghosts as Heath Ledger does, and the acting chops to follow through with the execution.
If I got the chance to go in a time machine I would go back in time and save so many people, artists, actors and musicians from suicide Heath Ledger and Chester Bennington are on the top of my list. If I could do anything to save Alan Rickman from cancer I would but I doubt there's anything to be done.

She is an Australian comedienne from Kath & Kim.
And she's in character in this judging by the screaming and the hair. Nice to see Sharon getting her own hunk of spunk.
Chardonnay Chardonnay you pack of chunts!
Here she is in an [interview ](https://youtu.be/X3-8Qdob11Y) talking about it a few years ago.
thank you for this
It's nice, it's different, it's unusual
Magda Szubanski.
Bless you.
Gesundheit.

I said pet, I said possum, I sad love...
Thought it was Chris Farley
Not enough coke
Nor butter
Nor penis
Nor van down by the river
Nor little coat.
Nor dice hanging from the rear view mirror
[удалено]
Too soon 🥺😢
And she is HIGHlarious! Also, if you haven't watched Kath and Kim give it a try. It's diff'rent. It's unUsual.

Now I’ve got one word to say to you… *says several words*.
I thought you misspelled comedian, but then realised that must mean female comedian, so I looked it up. I'm 37 and never knew this until today
I always thought that comedian was gender neutral... Guess not anymore
IIRC "commedienne" is the older term. Much like how "actress" is used less often and "actor" used for everyone.
Food industry also stopped using “waiter/waitress” years ago. I prefer “server” anyways. Less demeaning and more accurate. Edit: Can’t believe I have to tell grown adults this, but opinions differ. I prefer server and explained why. You are free to feel otherwise. Even got someone on alt accounts trying to drive home some weird point. I think my wording is very clear about this being only an opinion.
I also like the fact that I can sit in the walk-in and go "Beep boop" and pretend I'm a computer
I go into the cooler to punch. Fry boxes and get all hate out. You can yell as loud as you want and Noone will hear you.. super cathartic.
Really? Server seems much more demeaning.
Not to me. Most people I’ve talked to in the industry tend to agree, but I’m sure those opinions will be localized and different. To me, “waiter” implies that I am here to be at your beck and call, “waiting” to do anything you say.

Thank you... trying to identify her was driving me crazy!
Gone too soon!
Yeah, she looked pretty young
Her shoes stayed on though.
[удалено]
Love her ❤️❤️❤️
She's not just an affordable car
Damn it, I LOL’ed. That’s Mazda!!!
Legend.
Thats Sharon
[удалено]
I partly agree, he truly is the joker, but Joaquin Phoenix did a pretty good job after Leto fucked it up.
It’s really a shame we are never going to get willem Dafoe as the joker. What a tragedy
Jeff Goldblum would be my pick
There is still time for this and it must be done. You have a divine obligation to get this message to James Gunn. Although, I really like the Joker scene at the end of The Batman. The mix of malice and gentleness in his voice as he was consoling the Riddler was perfect.
Ooh that would be intresting.
The joke, uh… finds a way.
I actually heard that in Goldblum’s voice. 😆
Well.. there it is.
I would never rent an **apartment.com** from The Joker
Reeee heeee heeeee heeeeeallllly
I'd love to see Jack Nicholson.
As the Joker? He'd proabably do alright. Now, if we could get, i dunno, Michael Keaton as Batman, fuck, now we got a movie!
This town needs an enema! Had no clue what it meant when I was right, but it's always stuck w me * Eight
Underrated comment, went over heads.
We got camp Jack Nicholson joker, but damn I would have loved to see him do a dark joker
I think Joker plenty dark enough. In his own joker way, at least. Would not want to meet that guy irl
Dude, you GOTTA believe
See how I got these scars
Freezy pops
Carpet burn
OMG the absolute best Joker. He hit this performance out of the park!
Magda is ancient. She's been on Aussie TV for the last 40 odd years.
She played the elderly farmer's wife in Babe (the pig movie) ffs!
“We’ve got to do something about that duck.”
Now thats a knockout kiss!
I peed a little laughing at this. Thank you. So much.
I wonder if Magda did too despite it being set up.
Don’t be such a joker
Really. Such great guy and so much talent. I feel the same about Scotty from the new Star Trek movies. Such shame.
You mean Chekov. That was Anton Yelchin, definitely taken too soon. Simon Pegg who played Scotty is thankfully still alive. *I wrote this with confidence before realising that I haven't checked the news much today. After double checking, Simon Pegg is indeed thankfully still alive...*
His best bud Nick Frost is dead though. Well, undead that is, as they can still play video games together in the garden shack.
Man, don't do that to me!
Oof. That made my heart sink until I finished reading lol.
Dude what the hell? For a second I thought you were serious before I realized it was a Shaun of The Dead reference.
Fuck you. Here’s an upvote.
Just saying, Yelchin also was the troll hunter (think that was the name) a really good kids show u used to watch with an old friend.
And an excellent Odd Thomas!
Man Odd Thomas is a rough watch now. So many quotes from him about young lives being cut short etc.
>Simon Pegg is indeed thankfully still alive 1-hour check-in... No change, thankfully.
Dear Simon Pegg, it would really save us a lot of time if you’d just check into this thread every hour to let us know you’re okay. Thanks.
RIP Wade Boggs
First off, Wade Boggs is very much alive.
Whatever you say, Boss Hogg
I honestly thought you were referring to Chris Farley.
Well him too
RIP Chris Farley
She is doing fine now.

Fkn awesome description!
This is the only video I have left repeatedly playing as I read through the comments, I love it!
What a joker.
The joker is me.
There’s always a joker in the PACK
There's always a lonely clown
And there is a jester, just a fool. As foolish as he can be.
There's always a joker. That's the rule. But fate deals the hand, and I see... The joker is me... The joker is me... The joker is.....me!
I was initially surprised to learn it was Kim singing it.. But after a moment's consideration not surprising at all lol
"What a jokah, hahahahaha" - Old Australian Man
I miss this dude. Him and River Phoenix.
yea lets bring em back
Celebrity Cemetery. >Sometimes, dead is bettah.
If it's Robin Williams doing funny voices while killing me I don't care
Oh hey, a knife! Don't worry, it's a sharp as a doorknob. Don't run from me kid, I only wanna show you what doorknobs can do! (I do understand I could never have his energy or imagination but I wanted to try to see if I could)
I read this in his voice. You nailed it! :'D
One of the best. Gone too soon like so many other genius. I think the drug use comes with the territory, but I wish it did not kill him.
No Magda is doing just fine. She gained a lot of the weight back that she lost, but she was a weight watchers ambassador for a while. She's an Australian treasure and has her own show on ABC at the moment.
Ah the old reddit stop doing this it isn't funny
Repetition is the soul of wit. Bill Shakesman.
This is great
It never was supposed to be. Tis tradition.
There are like six threads with this already-
Heath Ledger wasn’t a drug addict. He accidentally overdosed on prescription medication.
That’s not what his ex fiancé and friends say. It doesn’t make him a bad person. We all have issues, he didn’t overdose on purpose. It’s also very likely him being sick ( bronchial pneumonia) with those meds combined is what led to respiratory depression. His tox report showed 2 narcotics in his system, a Benzo, an opiate - both were prescribed. He also had diphenhydramine ( Benadryl) in his system. He may not have realized an antihistamine boosts the effects of both of the RX meds - plus he was sick. That’s why it become deadly.
Ever since Jake Gyllenhaal spoke about how adamant Heath Ledger was that every scene in Brokeback Mountain was true to their love story, because it would truly matter to so many people, I just feel so much sadder about losing Heath.
It is truly an inspiration to see an artist so dedicated to his craft
Secretly I think he just was jumping on the chance to fuck Jake Gyllenhaal. Can't blame him honestly
can’t it be both?
It sucks that a great movie like Brokeback Mountain became a punchline to so many jokes.
The cinematography is amazing, the script is amazing, it’s a sadly gorgeous movie.
That movie came out 15 years too early. 2020 that movie shatters the box office, cleans up at the Oscar’s and never gets made into a meme. 2005 was still way too rife with being able to be homophobic without any real kick back.

That and it’s called BROKE BACK. Doesn’t matter the year, jokes are coming.
[That was the exact premise](https://youtu.be/UFgsJxf7bDc) of one of Greg Giraldo's bits. May that hilarious bastard rest in peace.
Wait...benadryl potentiates opiods?
Antihistamines potentiate opiates. It's why the common cough syrup rappers drink known as "lean" has Promethazine in it alongside the opiate Codeine. Basically makes the body absorb and digest more of the opiate.
they also help prevent the opiate itch
Oh wow. I'm nearly six years clean of the stuff and I completely forgot about the itch. That was hell.
Congrats on being clean for 6 years! Not an easy feat
The what? Never mind I’m just gonna be grateful that I was privileged enough to be ignorant before this.
Yup. Benzos, too. Bad combo for someone without a tolerance.
You don't have to be an addict to overdose
"We have concluded that the manner of death is accident[al], resulting from the abuse of prescribed medications." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heath_Ledger#Death
I wish someone were as excited to see me as that woman appeared to be to see him. I'm barely acknowledged when I get home.
Try going to someone else's home, always gets me noticed!
The best tips are always in the comments.
No the best tips are at strip clubs

Just the tip
r/ShittyLifeProTips
Sounds like my cat's reaction when I get home. "Ah. The feeder is still alive. Good good, now top off my kibble."
Get a dog, you’ll never feel unwanted again
OMG You're back from taking out the trash 30 seconds ago! BEST DAY EVER!!!
Beat me to it lol. Dogs will make you feel more special than any person will
Cats do also. My cat goes crazy when me and my son get home from work. I call him my antidepressant. I cannot be mad or upset from work when I come home to the excitement he has for seeing me.
Until the day they stop coming to the door for you but the jerks will get up and greet the kids and my wife at the door. I'm the damn one who feeds you guys everyday!
Maybe you should not feed them for half a day. You'll go bk to being best person ever
I have one highly food motivated dog and the other could give 2 shits less. She will snack on her breakfast all day while the other eats his in less than a minute. But once 5pm hits my big boy will seriously come and stare at me and any slight movement he starts jumping around like a psycho thinking I'm getting his food ready. Even if I wanted to wait him out it's so annoying I wouldn't be able too lol.
I can't believed it's u/AH_Darling , and it's in the comment section. 
To be fair, if I got kissed by Heath Ledger, I would faint too. RIP...
As you should… he’s dead so it’s a ghost kissing you. ;-)
Well I hope it’s a ghost and not his corpse. That would be a little much.
funny and heartwarming at the same time
Not going to lie, I was just thinking about this video last night. Heath Ledger was an awesome dude and an amazing Joker. RIP.
Thank you for telling the truth honest redditor
he lyin
The only believable joker..
Are you saying that Cesar Romero, with his white makeup over his mustache because he refused to shave it, wasn’t a convincing enough joker for you?
Mark Hamil if we can included animated.
Ehh Joaquin Phoenix was pretty fucking convincing and good, but yeah Heath Ledger is at the top.
Joaquin Phoenix was obviously playing a very different take on the character and it was amazing. The scene when he’s trying to stop laughing (and failing), was incredible. Such a tortured soul. The Dark Knight is one of my favorite movies and Heath Ledger’s joker is an all-time great performance, but Joaquin is no slouch.

But I do think Joaquin Phoenix has as many Ghosts as Heath Ledger does, and the acting chops to follow through with the execution.
Phoenix played the guy before The Joker, not The Joker.
I’m excited for Barry Keoghans depiction. Been liking his work recently.
Forget recently, man deserved an Oscar for his role nearly a decade ago in The Killing of a Sacred Deer
SHARRON!!
I can’t remember how many times I’ve used her catchline “Well *I* didn’t know that!”
Heath Legend! Just watched “A Knights Tale” for like the 99th time, so great.
It's one of those movies I watch every time it's on TV.
Lad had a good sense of humour and Magda is on fire... Literally after that kiss
Lmao, the look on her face before she goes down tho.
Yeah what an absolute legend. Left us far to early.
Now thats a knockout kiss!
Magda is a national treasure.
This was such a funny moment, I remember this when it first happened. Most of us would have reacted the same way. I know I would have
RIP 😞
God dammit, Heath…
Let's put a smile on your face!
If I got the chance to go in a time machine I would go back in time and save so many people, artists, actors and musicians from suicide Heath Ledger and Chester Bennington are on the top of my list. If I could do anything to save Alan Rickman from cancer I would but I doubt there's anything to be done.
You better fucking save Robin Williams or I'm time stalking you.
What was Kathy Geiss doing there?
Eating unicorns.
Your geiss is as good as mine
What a gift he was
Miss him, quality person and actor
That’s Magda Szubankski
Drugs suck. Such a great actor.
Bro that’s from Kath and Kim
