😂 People really loved the clean cut version of RS, but damn, I love this side of him. Spicy Richard unlocked. He would’ve killed in a role on Veep or in some dark comedy. RIP
Richard Simmons was one of the most iconic, talented, legendary, comedic genius, and cared for EVERYONE and helped shape the fitness industry forever....We defintely lost an American Legend.....His flamboyancy and pure charisma was just LEGENDARY! His guest appearances with Howard Stern and David Letterman were just comedy gold! RIP Richard!
I saw the video of the celebrity tour bus stopping at his house when he was actually home, and he was so incredibly welcoming, and humble, and down to earth to everyone on the bus. Great video.
Simmons did a great job motivating people to take care of their health, me included (as a 17 yr-old straight make way back in the day), an achievement that the public today should know about. You have nothing if you don't have good health, and Richard here is who raised my consciousness on this subject. But never heard him swear before, love it!
I love this, just goes to show the dude is human. If he hadn't became a fitness icon and American Hero, he'd have been an AMAZING comedian. He held up against Stern quite well.
I watched 2 totally unexpected videos today, and my life has been forever changed: this delightful morsel and Ralph Macchio kissing Eric Stoltz. I’m still smiling 🙂
I did Dj/Sound for him at an event back in the 80's - I was chewing on a straw the whole time for some reason doing his sound on the side of the stage at a mall. I heard him remark about me as they were leaving, I think that guy has an oral fixation! I remember that.
They did. lol! Its the whole reason I'm here, I had to see it for myself. I just listened to a phone call between him and Howard where Richard is adamantly denying it. lol.
I once went to the hood and was playing poker with Deal-A-Meal cards when two young hooligans approached me with switchblade knives and wicked grins. The were there to rob me. All hope was lost. I looked to the left and saw a dark alley, to the giht was a brick wall. Summoning all og my courage, I ran for the alley and I saw something move overhead. If it were a comic book I would think it was Batman, but he is just a being of fiction. As my eyes tracked the for, I realized it was Richard Simmons coming down a zip line. He worse a tactical tank top and short 70s style gym shorts. as he passed over, I could see one of his balls, but not only that, I could see his heroic courage. As he landed, one of those little Smart cars pulled up behind the vile rouges. Out stepped 2 fat grandmas wearing super hero masks like Robin's. I instantly know it was the "Crime Fighting to the Oldies" Sisters as I heard Fats Domino's Blueberry Hill playing on the Smart car's tiny radio. One branded a long frankfurter rope with drugged needles sticking out of the franks. The other hoisted an armored country ham on either should while the Smart car's auto-targeting gravy cannon came online. Richard assume some sort of advanced Mantis Kung Fu form and let out a deep bellowing roar before launching into a flying bicycle kick, as one goon took a step back, Fat Granny 1 swung he lethal rope of drugged pork. The second goon, seeing this, tried to throw his switchblade at her but Fat Granny 2 launched her first ham. Like a trebuchet bringing down city walls, the armored ham struck the goon in the arm, tearing it from his body. He screamed and grabbed at the stump where his arm had been only moments prior. He took his arm for granted but in this moment he learned the hard reality of the Law of the Ham. She stood over him before taking on a more gelatinous form like that of an amoeba. She absorbed him through osmosis and then reached down her throat like a cartoon and pulled out his intact, minus one arm, skeleton When I looked and the other thug, he was on the ground paralyzed from a potent frankfurter injection. Richard stood over him and then came the famous glowing red eyes and flaming hair he assumes when vanquishing evil. He began a potent psyonic attack and there were little circles coming from his forehead towards my would be assailant. Getting larger and larger. The crook screamed in fear and agony. "Who are you working for? Where have you hid the launch codes?" Rickard's deep booming voice made the very air vibrate and even I felt terror at this awesome display of power. "I'll never tell you!!!" the roughian yelled as Richard intensified his psychic blast. The mugger's head began swelling like a balloon. Then it exploded into a fine mist. Richard looked and me and said one word, "RUN!" I took off and to this day have no idea what that was all about or what happened afterward
