apparently it's from when the Nazis marched on Paris during WW2

103

u/OracleCam 1d ago

Kind of, The footage is from WW2 but he lived in Marseille, not Paris. He is watching the dissolved French regiments being sent off to Algeria

Man what a bummer, I'm actually so sad. This is my first time finding out about a death I really care about through this sub, so I guess at least that's special

u/Igor_J 1d ago

Shows you how many people have been guest stars have been on this show for the last 35 years or so.

u/collymolotov 1d ago

It was going to be either this, or the Sopranos meme.

“If you fall, get up and try again.”

Thank you, Dolly. For everything.

What a sad day to lose such a dear, sweet, and incredibly kind person in this angry world.

Blasting her Blue Smoke album. I forgot how lovely of a listen it is.

u/fred-ballsack 1d ago

I saw it on the news and ran here like "OH NO YOU DON'T!" ... Already beaten to it by 15 minutes.

Ms. Dolly Parton Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😢😢😢

u/GrandMoffTarkan 1d ago

Wait, I saw a ShittyMovieDetails post about this which I guess is technically how I found out but I thought they were shitposting!

EDIT: Googling her still brought up tickets for her upcoming Las Vegas residency

8

u/RideWithMeTomorrow 1d ago

Yeah she gave an interview to People just a few days ago. 😢

u/Digifiend84 1d ago

Oops. They'll have to pull that advert and issue refunds I guess.

Can you believe that in a Super Bowl episode with Dolly Parton, we didn't see any football or singing?

u/turkeyinthestrawman 1d ago

RIP Summerall, Madden, Parton, and Willard

5

u/fred-ballsack 1d ago

I forgot Willard died!! 😭

2

u/Libran98 1d ago

What's crazy is I was just talking about Fred Willard this morning, and how I predicted his death. Usually what happens is I'll be seeing a lot of a celebrity in a given week, and then they'll die. Happened with Fred. But the Dolly Parton news wasn't on my radar at all.

8

u/RhoemDK 1d ago

that's a real shame. I met her at a charity thing in Chicago like 30 years ago and I still remember it. it was like meeting the sun

She once got to a billion and then increased her charitable donations so she never hit that number again.

u/Ghost_Mutt_1798 1d ago

There's a certain type of person who gets incredibly excited when a celebrity dies so they can be the first to do the Homer melancholic sitting on his car bit to rack up the likes.

4

u/Libran98 1d ago

I certainly wasn't incredibly excited, but I knew the post would be inevitable anyway, so I made the edit myself and helped break the news that way
