Oct 31 2007Robert Goulet and His Mustache Die at 73
After hearing Robert Goulet died yesterday of pulmonary fibrosis, it's hard to know what to say of someone my generation probably knows best through a mocking (yet hilarious) caricature on SNL. Am I still allowed to laugh as I watch Will Ferrell, mustached and bespectacled, sing a Goulet version of "The Thong Song"? Is it funny or tragic that, as doctors inserted breathing tubes, the baritone crooner said, "Just watch my vocal cords"? I would definitely think it was funny a couple days ago, but now I'm not so sure.
These are questions to ponder as you prepare your hilarious Zombie Goulet costume tonight.

I heard on the news last night that he had died, so I watched Ferrell's Goulet in remembrance. Rest in peace, Goulet. (da da DEEEE da da da DOOOOO!)

My favorite thing about Goulet is that he could laugh at himself. Ever see the TV Funhouse episode where all the animals go to Atlanic City and hang out with him? "Nobody touches Goulet!" Hysterical stuff; I'm going to watch it tonight in remembrance. RIP

I'm just curious. Has Will Ferrell ever been funny even by accident?
