Ralphie May dead at 45

Comedian Ralphie May has died. He canceled several tour dates last month, and tweeted from Colorado that he couldn't shake a case of bronchitis. Earlier this morning he was found dead at a home in Las Vegas of an apparent heart attack.

It was reported that the bronchitis he couldn't shake was actually pneumonia, or had developed into pneumonia.

Not a fan of 2017.


I loved me some Ralphie, I usually listen to the comedy station whenever I'm in my ride.

Bummer man.

Sad but not shocking. RIP

All super fat comedians will die young...especially if its men.

Biological reality...say no to fat acceptance (but also say no to personal attacks)

Double post - Soo big it needed 2

Caught several of his shows — really personable dude — the last of which he mentioned his health and he recalled a hospitalization...he knew he was on borrowed time if he kept his same lifestyle. Indeed a bummer.

A personal friend.

Like most of us.

There are many things the public never sees.

He was kind of tortured...

Was a funny dude when he first came out. I think he went political a little and I wasn't interested. He had his own Comedy Central show, then I saw him on a comic battle and he lost.

Too bad. RIP

Damn. Ralphie May was always hilarious whenever I saw him on TV. He absolutely stole the show on his last special where he headlined a comedy special that aired on HBO or Showtime this past year. Now he joins the legendary fat comics like John Belushi, Sam Kinison, John Candy, Chris Farley, John Pinnett and Patrice O'Neal. Man, I'd give anything to be in the room if those 7 guys ever got together to trade jokes and raise hell. I truly send heartfelt thanks and love to all the comedians and musicians who've passed on because their talent is irreplaceable and makes the world a better place.

Rest in big fat peace mi hombre.

Color me surprised.

Fat isn't beautiful, or healthy.

No shame, but calling an elephant an elephant. (Not a fat joke)

Don’t forget Phil Hartman, a comedic genius a reply to: LionHeart777

Ok, Never heard of him....her....whatever. Too bad he...she was funny.

Dats one big Mumma doe.....or Pappa.....lucky to live to 45.

So, a quick search of Ralphie suggests "they" think they is a black African AMerican from Da Hood in a large version of a white...person....that may or may not as in Ralphie May or may not be ....Ralphina?

Just out of curiosity, is it may or May not? or May might be .... only the coroners photos will tell for sure??

Recently saw Chaz Bono on an episode of American Horror....whom people may or may not know......that she/ I mean he is Chers Daughter/Son.......ah whatever.

Sometimes I think I am a Hamburger, and just want extra mayo..........

Ralphie will be missed. He was a great guy in addition to a comedian-my daughter knew him personally and really liked him.

Obesity and heart disease really should be curable by now. Miss all the comedians you mentioned. Alot.

Didnt know you liked ralphy may. He was a hilarious comic and very down to earth in real life. I remember watching him perform at the laugh factory back in the early 2000s when his career was just begining to get traction. Hed hang out afterwards and talk to anybody who approached him. He was funny and always took the time to meet the auduence afterwards. I remember having a short conversation with him after one of his sets and he was the nicest guy. Hell be missed by me for sure and i thank him for the hours of laughter and joy he brought to countless people.

My thoughts are with his family and especially his children. I wish them the best
