RIP Harold Ramis

[Disgruntled70sHab]

Started out as the joke editor for Playboy Magazine back in the day. I mostly remember him from SCTV, Stripes and Ghostbusters. I never knew it before I looked it up, but Ramis:

"Wrote four of the American Film Institute's 100 Funniest Movies: Ghostbusters (1984) at #28, Groundhog Day (1993) at #34, Animal House (1978) at #36 and Caddyshack (1980) at #71. Meatballs (1979), Stripes (1981) and Back to School (1986) were also nominated, but didn't make the list."

He certainly made a difference.

RIP.

Loved his work on SCTV....hit me right in the comedy wheelhouse at age 17. Ramis had a devilish, infectious smile.

I recall his character Moe Green, but I'd forgotten about Officer Friendly.

An intelligent, prolific, comedic mind.




What a horrible disease.

SCTV is what I think of when someone mentions his name, everything else he did was just gravy!!

RIP!!
