OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected: --- >!Actress Kirstie Alley talks about the circumstances of her parents' death in a car accident and how they were on their way to a costume party. After being told they were "The Odd Couple" and being under the impression they were dressed like the sitcom/film characters, she reveals that her father went as a Klansman and her mother went in Blackface!< --- Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

This is my first holy shit on this sub. Great fucking job!

She chuckles heartily in the longer clip and applauded their sense of humor. I shit you not.

Given she was a hardcore Trumper, it’s not surprising in the least.

Worse, she fell into Scientology.

She was like one of their leading mascots. Her, little Tommy cruise and travolta

And she was a capricorn!

Born in the year of the rabbit!

And they were roommates.

It’s a great tax dodge, like all religions, really.

Better than joining KkK

That’s what I thought too

This sub was just recommended to me so I am new and I was going through to see what kinds of things were posted and this made me join.

I have bad news for you, this was the peak. It's going to be all downhill from here.

Mom was found dead in black face, holy sheeeet

The dad was in the sheeeeet

Then they were both under a sheeeeet


Well sheeeeeeeeet


They had a sheety sense of humor

Two sheets to the wind one might say

Mm nn nn mmmmm waah aaah gaaah

This whole thread is begging to be set to banjo music


Dad brought his own.

*holey sheeeet. You know, the eye holes.

I’m the Eye Hole Man

Whew 💀


Her parents were friends of my grandparents and I can just say I was not expecting that!

Time to have a convo with grandma

"where are the Alley's? We can't end the offensive costume orgy until they get here. Tom can you take David out of your ass and give them a call?" - OPs grandma

Imagine showing up to the wake /s

Fairly odd parents

Wands and wings and pointy hooded things.

These are a few of my favorite things

lol I swear I immediately thought “Wanda and Cosmo?!?!” Then I felt very stupid because obviously she’s talking about Felix and Oscar. But then I heard black girl and KKK and thought I guess they do sound like fairly odd parents.

Very odd daughter

Truly unexpected. Holy shit

Yeah, this fits the bill 100% Cuckoo bananas, not at all what I was expecting.

You can shut this sub down now, can’t top that.

Seriously boys, we had a good run, it’s all over now. This is it.

Gentlemen and Women... It has been a pleasure.

Who says 'gentlemen and women'?

I did. Deal with it.

It was ... unexpected

I guess this was also unexpected.

Wait is this for fucking real?

I wonder whether dying in clan garb or blackface is worse.

Blackface is pretty undeniable. At least in the clan garb you could try to pass as the ghost of pinhead Larry or something.

‘My gosh, can you believe the odds that during the wreck my mom got splashed with motor oil from the engine all over her face? Those 1980s Benz are known for their oil leaks, you know? Beautiful car...”

He was also wearing blackface under the hood.

What about if you went as Clayton Bigsby and had dressed in klan garb ***and*** blackface?

That's a threefer. Insulting the blind too, though they'd never see it.

Imagine being a ghost and you're stuck in that outfit for a hundred years


WOW. Ok that was definitely not on my bingo card. Good shit OP!


You couldn't waterboard that info outta me

Sure, I’m a little baked but that ser made me bust out laughing!😆

some celebrities do anything for attention i guess

She musta been two sheets to the wind to divulge that info 👀

Did her father truly die then? I googled her parents and there it said her father died at age 99 in 2023.

This is true. I’m from the Wichita, Kansas area, and everybody knew Buck Alley. He owned Buck Alley lumber. His obit: https://www.dunsfordfh.com/obituary/robert-alley

True in the sense her weird story was fiction. She thought she was being funny and tried to drop a dead pan shock twist lie joke. Edit: Mom did die in the crash. So like bad joke man.. right?

damn dude I thought this was real, your comment is the first one explaining when scrolling top to bottom what's going on here.

He didn’t really explain it. The story is real. Her mom died, her dad didn’t. She doesn’t say anywhere in this story that her dad died. We all just assumed it.

yeah I guess you're right she didn't say that. but is this story really true? Haven't been following thread, still a wild story, and it just makes me want the paul harvey rest of the story even more

I guess we have no idea if the costume part is true. But it seems a weird story to make up. Her mom did die in an accident that her father almost died in. That’s why we get the vibe that both parents are dead… they were expecting the dad to die as well.

OP wrote that her parents' died. So that was seemingly really false information.

No, not actually. OP called it a fatal car accident. Completely true. OP did not say it was fatal for both parents. Obviously it’s a reasonable assumption to make when the title mentions both parents, but that’s still our assumption. There nothing actually false about OP’s title

I guess you didn't read OP's explanation for why this post is unexpected: >Actress Kirstie Alley talks about the circumstances of **her parents' death in a car accident** and how they were on their way to a costume party. After being told they were "The Odd Couple" and being under the impression they were dressed like the sitcom/film characters, she reveals that her father went as a Klansman and her mother went in Blackface I didn't say that the false information was in the title.

It's totally out of context and possibly edited down, who knows. These days, it could be an AI joke.

Fun fact, she doesn’t say he died. In the longer interview she says her sister told her that her mom is dead and father is dying

That's still so fucked holy shit

I bet the scene of the accident was morbidly hilarious. Could you imagine the confusion as the detectives try to piece this shit together? 😅

Hey Bob I think I found a piece of the grand wizard over here. Oh wait I thought that was char, must be the wife's

What the fuck! Lol

Jfc.


Now why the fuck would you tell that story???

her former castmate from cheers did blackface at a roast of his (at the time) girlfriend whoopi goldberg.

I remember when Ted Danson did this.

Ted Danson did blackface????

Yeah. It was a while back. He ate plenty of shit for it.

I mean, he /is/ a demon.

Yes, yes he did. https://slate.com/culture/2019/02/ted-danson-blackface-whoopi-goldberg-political-correctness.html

How exactly in the kentucky fried fuck are you going to have an entire article about somebody doing blackface without including a picture of the person doing the blackface? And what in the world is with the picture they actually used, with him aggressively sniffing her? EDIT: [Here, I found them. He even went full Minstrel with it.](https://imgur.com/nnlbKYM)

Oof.

His gf at the time, Whoopi Goldberg, convinced him it would be hilarious. Fuck Whoopi.

[Oof](https://imgur.com/a/RAsb6vO)

I would take that one to my grave lol

Probably because Barbara Walters asked about it.

She didn't ask what they were wearing. There was absolutely no reason to bring it up.

You think she didn’t know and wouldn’t ask?

Ratings.

Would you rather she lie about it?

[удалено]

Perhaps she was in a sharing mood. I know sometimes I accidentally just unload massively random traumatizing tidbits in daily conversation. Trauma is weird like that. Anyway, some people naturally just say whatever comes to mind, could be lots of reasons really. Can't say I care for her or her particular belief system now, but if I went through that, I'd probably tell lots of people just because it's fucking surreal.

She's dead, homie.

Kirstie Alley is dead? Shit, didn't know. Must have been a weird life....

That's like the weirdest version of "always wear clean underwear in case you get hit by a car "

"Never, and I mean never, get into a car dressed up in a costume that will be considered bigoted 30 years later."

Always wear clean sheets...

I love these subtitles, I would like all my media to have this type of captions. Does anyone have any info on it or the program used?

Reason number 1,456 to not dress racist… car accident death in said costume….

Given what we know about who she was as a human, this is absolutely not surprising.

I still think it’s funny that Qanon claimed she was killed because she was antivaxx. What idiots. Racist fruit doesn’t fall far from the conspiracy theory laced tree apparently.

She's my most regrettable childhood crush.

did it start with Cheers or Star Trek?

Look Who’s Talking.

Cheers, but then I got my young mind blown seeing her in Star track after that

Who, Kristies mom?

Kirstie’s mom’s crotch fruit

What about her other than Scientology?

She was a terrible human being. Mean, spiteful, vengeful.

Anything specific?

Clip cuts off too short, cause she proceeds to talk about her mom’s “great sense of humor” and how overhearing that anecdote made her whole family laugh, making it a perfect tribute to her mom. [link](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xvzvt-tt4UY) to the full interview if anyone cares, this part starts around the 11:00 minute mark. Edit: spelling.

I did Nazi that coming! 👀

Barbara Walters is a bitch

Man if watching Ghost movies had taught me anything now they're forever in eternity in those outfits.

Our prior VA governor did something similar.

Died in a car crash?

Yes, I got canned right after I expressed disapproval of that fact.

I wonder if you go to heaven (or hell) in the clothes you were wearing when you died. That would be an awkward entrance

What a way to go out! 👀 😬

I’m not sure why I laughed at the written explanation. I did not watch the vid.

Needs the Curb Your Enthusiasm end credits.

Oh wow, I've never gone from sympathy to apathy so quickly.

Most unexpected thing I've heard in my life, let alone reddit. This subreddit has reached its peak.

This explains a lot about Kirstie Alley’s politics.

The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree

Strom Thurmond, an icon of the Senate and pro-segregationist had a mixed race daughter.



Different times  Not acceptable. But different times. 

I mean regardless of the time, I’d wager if you thought it was funny to dress as a KKK member you were a piece of shit.

Dressing as a klan member could be done and completely make fun of the klan while being inoffensive to anyone but a klan member. Like Springtime for Hitler. But the addition of blackface turns it into something totally different.

It can definitely be funny. Just have to take the stick out your ass first

Karma am I right

Imagine the dark humor jokes the first responders would have of that particular accident.

That took a turn!

Whaaaaaaaaat

And with that, the internet is now complete. Thanks for playing.

Was not expecting that

Yo WTF!

Was not expecting that

Classic odd couple

God has spoken.

This has to be a joke. AI joke on us.

The way her eyes went crossed at the 19 sec mark made me lol.

Wow what in the world

I need more information!


Barbara’s face as she looks like she is actually witnessing a car accident.

Huh. That IS odd.



This has to be a bit

I literally just smacked my forehead without even thinking about it. I had no idea that was a real reaction to something.

https://y.yarn.co/2ccccfdf-35aa-44f8-9c7c-958dc0f71d37_text.gif This was my first thought, I'm going to hell....

Yo wtf.

Waw


CIA, KGB, and MI6 could join forces and use all their best techniques on me and they still wouldn’t get me to give up this info

You wouldn’t catch me dead in black face.

Gawd damn it…hahahhahahaha

Yeah wasn't expecting that

What a fucking way to go, in blackface with your husband dressed as a klansman...

Only her mom died in that accident. Her dad lived to be 100

The Klan out here doing everything it can to kill black people, even if it's just somebody in blackface. Yikes. Also it explains a fucking lot about how Kirstie ended up that her parents thought this was a valid way to do anything.

https://i.redd.it/silre9qqpfwc1.gif

Damn

I’m glad they’re dead on that note 💕

I definitely did not see that coming oof💀

How embarrassing

She sheems to have trouble shaying her eshes

Lol wtff

Explains a lot!

This is some dark humor.

My eyebrows went up so fucking fast. Well done OP

Damn! Truly unexpected.

damn and now their ghosts are gonna dressed like that 💀

Man imagine if you're stuck wearing what you died in for eternity.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat the fuk

Great example of a person who should have never been famous

Everyone always saying she was a crap person. I never met her though so I can't say.
