2. RIP "Bip"

I remember watching him on Ed Sullivan (now does that age me or WHAT? :silly:). What a talented man he was! You can learn more about his accomplishments here: http://www.filmreference.com/film/35/Marcel-Marceau.html

[IntravenousDemilo]

17. You're wicked, WICKED, I tells ya!

:applause:

[mitchum]

18. That's not in bad taste; I already demonstrated that for my wife this morning

:)

[Deep13]

5. Did he go quietly?

:shrug:

[bikebloke]

6. Tribute time

I bet the radio stations will be playing his records all day.

Seriously, we were introduce to him in grade school way back in the early 60's. They rolled out a black & white TV in the auditorium for him. Most of the time that was for rocket launches.

7. His last words...

spoken by his dog....

[EstimatedProphet]

8. No eulogy is planned

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. We should have a moment of... something... but I'm not sure what.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

10. Bwaaa!Haaaa!

:rofl:

[sarge43]

27. Noise

(Blatant boost from a Table Talk post)

[leftofthedial]

11. quietly

inside a glass box

of suffocation

his family and doctors stood by, thinking he was just being Marcel

[Lex]

12. A moment of silence would be apt.

nt

[Initech]

13. Would a moment of silence be a fitting tribute? Or not?

[mcscajun]

14. He did speak one word, just one, in film. Never on stage.

In Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie" (1976) — which truly was a silent movie, being a tribute to the era, Marceau had the only speaking line: "Non!"

RIP, Bip.

[Catshrink]

16. Hey, that's what I was gonna say!

GMTA, eh? I loved that part of the movie and always loved Marcel.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

25. On the phone, to Mel. Mel's friends ask "What did he say?"

Mel replies, "I don't know, I don't speak French." :rofl:

15. The rest is silence. n/m

19. Safe Passage, Professor...

Quarter-to-half for surfacing.

Got to get rid of this tail.

- I'm dead.
- No.

- Where am I?
- In the labyrinth of the City of Night.

- Are you an angel?
- I'm Pygar, the last ornithanthrope.

- How do you do?
- And you?

I'm from Planet Earth. My name is Barbarella.

But you're soft and warm. We're told that earth beings are cold.

Not all of us...My poor spaceship. Look at it. I'm so sorry. Pygar, what happened to your eyes?

I fell during a magnetic storm and was carried off to Sogo.

Sogo?

The City of Night ruled by the Great Tyrant. There they blinded me. I was left to die in the labyrinth until Professor Ping found me.

That's terrible.

Can you really fly?.

No, I've lost the will to fly.

- How awful!
- It no longer matters. It's the past.

- Have you heard of Duran Duran?
- Duran Duran?

Yes, Duran Duran. He's an astronaut from Earth.

I do not know of such things.

- Perhaps Professor Ping can help.
- Professor Ping?

He's very wise and knows all about Sogo.

- Where can I find him?
- He's with the others, eating.

- He's there. Professor Ping?
- Professor Ping?

- Yes?
- My name is Barbarella.

Tell me. What is your origin? You have the aspect of an earthling. You are of female gender, right?

That is correct.

- Is that an orchid?
- Yes. Orchids have very little food value and are hard to grow in this climate. It amuses the Great Tyrant to resent the expense of feeding orchids to slaves.

- What kind of place is this?

- That is Sogo, the City of Night...ruled by the Great Tyrant and dedicated to evil in every form. And this is the labyrinth. All that is not evil is exiled to the labyrinth. Look!

- Who is that gentleman?
- That is a Grand Grotesque. That's the classic way of ending life in the labyrinth.

Professor Ping, have you ever heard of Duran Duran?

Duran Duran from Earth?

Yes, indeed.

- He's alive? Where?
- In Sogo, no doubt.

I must go there at once. But as you've seen, no one may leave the labyrinth.

- I have a spaceship, if only it worked.
- My child, perhaps I can help you.

If only you could...Let me take you there.

Pygar, will you show us the way?.

- What seems to be the trouble?
- I think it's the stabilizers.

Let's have a look. Pygar, pen...

Here...

Thank you. Thank heaven the hypodontical molecules are undamaged.

- Will it take long?
- Hours? Days? Weeks?

Who knows? Genius is mysterious.

[sasquatch]

20. "I'm speechless."

BALLSIEST PUN EVAH!!
:spray:

[jgraz]

21. In hindsight, maybe he should have left "Guy Having a Massive Heart Attack" out of the act

Tends to confuse the onlookers...

[NewWaveChick1981]

22. Hey, Marcel--just TRY gettin' out of THAT box...

:rofl: :P Sorry...but somebody had to do it. :rofl:

[Eagle_Eye]

23. I bet he didn't make a sound

[AllegroRondo]

24. Michael Jackson stole the moonwalk from him

he did it as "man walking against wind"

[redqueen]

26. I just have to share this...

"So, Marcel Marceau has died. I really hope they bury him in a glass coffin, and position the body so that it looks like he's trying to escape."

:rofl:

God that man cracks me up.
