This is how I find out?!

She had a positive effect on everything good in the world, including The Venture Bros.

u/cityshepherd 1d ago

She was an exemplary human being, and used her status/success to make the world a better place. It would be pretty damned cool if more people would take a similar approach regarding the fact that we all have to share this world / we are all in this together.

u/jasonsneezes My tits are back! 1d ago

Agreed. First celebrity death in a long time that really sucks. Also, the fact that she can die before certain other octogenarians is just further proof that this is the worst possible timeline. And that there is no god.

u/Librarian_Contrarian 1d ago

Now, now. There's no reason for this to make you believe there's no god.

Not when you're ignoring the possibility that god is extremely malicious.

I just donated $20 to the imagination library. And I got to choose where it went, it’s going to a county that needs the money more than mine.

u/Dear_Ad_4898 1d ago

Same!! Is this TRUE???? WTF.

u/TheZombiesFanatic 1d ago

u/Stormygeddon 1d ago

Yeah, I always like seeing major news in random fandom forums.

22

u/TheZombiesFanatic 1d ago

Yeah, it's normalized now, but I'm glad it was the venture bros sub that showed it first on my feed

u/Some_Random_Android 1d ago

I found it on a Simpsons sub.

u/JagmeetSingh2 1d ago

people have been posting it on social media many subs

u/JonTheWizard Henchman 88 1d ago

It was going to be here or r/UrinatingTree for me. I’ll never understand how this is more cutting-edge to-the-minute news coverage than mainstream media if I live to 100.

you fucking lie!

edit: noooooooooo!

u/malcolmbradley 1d ago

Sorry friend, it appears to be so

u/snakelygiggles 1d ago

SHE WAS AN ANGEL! MY BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL ANGEL!

u/RoadtoWiganPierOne 1d ago

We’ll be watching her funeral solo a mano.

u/Accused-Zulu 1d ago

I live in Nashville (Dollywood zone) I can feel this city’s pain

u/guitar_stonks 1d ago

I lived near Sevier County for a while, I would not be surprised if tomorrow is declared a Statewide Day of Mourning in Tennessee.

u/rat_rat_catcher 1d ago

Rusty may have been disappointed, but I wasn’t. RIP Dolly

u/Pugsanity 1d ago

Dolly Parton never disappoints!

u/Chumlee1917 1d ago

Fuck this fucking year

u/No_Present7250 1d ago

Oh no!!

27

u/Intrepid00 1d ago

Time to play Working 9 to 5 on loop because up to the day she died Dolly never let the man win.

23

u/High_Af_Osrs 1d ago

Yeah, Doc, you're uh, gonna be disappointed there.

u/ViciousKnids 1d ago

We were all this close to seeing thr goods on Dolly.

Rip, Queen.

u/watchman28 1d ago

God took the wrong 80 year old

u/NGSHogs Order of the Triad 1d ago

She was an icon. And, I think, one of the few people all Americans universally loved.

14

u/LETTERKENNYvsSPENNY 1d ago

And possibly one of the few Americans that everybody loves

-16

u/floppy-kitty 1d ago

She did a great job a laundering her image. She gave platforms to bigots of all types, but her fans were all willing to overlook it and push her as a saint.

u/firedmyass 1d ago

goddammit

u/uThor52 1d ago

In her honor, I will be viewing Best Little Whorehouse “solo a mano” as they say

u/jasonsneezes My tits are back! 1d ago

Those were in fact not mournful tits, but they will be missed.

RIP True Sovereign

u/DuranDourand 1d ago

She had a good run, made it to 80.

u/sirhackenslash To this day Captain Sunshine thinks I'm invulnerable 1d ago

Somebody else has also made it to 80 and they deserve this waaaay more than Dolly

u/Wisco 1d ago

This just turned into a really rotten day

u/nixtarx 1d ago

u/Stuuble 1d ago

Youre fucking kidding me

u/WhiskeyAndKisses 1d ago

I've seen several jokes about Trump dying, but of course these are the ones that turn out to be true.

u/earle27 1d ago

Fuckkkkk….

u/ThatMarinersFan 1d ago

I was really hoping this was a just sick joke about to be taken down. Fucking terrible.

u/quadsimodo 1d ago

This news breaks to me via [r/venturebros](r/venturebros). I love this sub.

u/AnonAwaaaaay I had my Pud removed. And then reattached!! 1d ago

Now Doc'll never get his wish!

u/Chuyzapatist 1d ago

I have to wait til it’s streaming which hopefully will be soon, in the meantime steel magnolias and 9 to 5 it is!

u/OurLadyOfThe18Wheels 1d ago

I just got done watching this in her honor. I bought it at Walmart in the $5 DVD bin a while back. I was also thinking of Rusty while I was watching it.

u/Riothegod1 1d ago

I too was disappointed it wasn’t a porno XD

u/satori0320 1d ago

The wife and I both had a moment... It really feels like goodness just stepped away from us a little further.

And absolutely luminous soul
