Richard Simmons is so adorable. His appearance on Whose Line is it Anyway was jaw-achingly funny.

Here is the video.

I don't get Simmons. Is it just an act, or is he really that flamboyant?

Nonetheless, that shit was hilarious.

He's a little man with a big heart for exercise!

[–]rotll 2 points3 points ago

If it's an act, he's always in character...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Simmons#Personal_life

Although there has been frequent speculation about his sexual orientation due to his campy personality, Simmons has never publicly discussed his sexuality.

[–]margegunderson 2 points3 points ago

He's like that all the time. I remember watching him on a TV special after Hurricane Katrina where he was taking a camera crew around the French Quarter to survey the damage (he's from New Orleans) and he was being all somber while wearing sequined shorts. He's awesome.

[–]jonathanrdt 1 point2 points ago

It's both. He was always a little flamboyant, but he's evolved over time.

The tragedy of Simmons is that he has been telling people to do the right things for nearly forty years, but he is inaccessible to a gigantic swath of people who need the advice most.

[–]TacoNinja 2 points3 points ago

gigantic

Good word choice.

Well, he is up against a lot of competition.

That was the most heterosexual thing I have ever seen!

From the entry this line got me laughing non stop.

[–]shanew21 2 points3 points ago

Funniest whose line skit I've ever seen. I show it to friends all the time. Everybody is just rolling with laughter.

[–]Blaque 1 point2 points ago

This is golden.

[–]d00m3d_d00d 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That is by far the best episode they ever did. They should have him on the show full time for that.

[–]opaeoinadi 4 points5 points ago

Jeeeesus christ. I haven't laughed that hard in years.

Came here to upvote this.

[–]quartzar_the_king 3 points4 points ago

You came here with a preconceived notion to upvote a comment you didn't know existed at the time? HMMmmmmm.... I'm on to you miksedene

[–]miksedene 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Oh I knew the comment existed. Knowing reddit's love for 'whose line' and the age of the post it was bound to be there.

[–]Ranekore 0 points1 point ago

Thank you for posting this, it genuinely made my day! If I could give you all my up-votes I would!

[–]stone500 -1 points0 points ago

Richard Simmons is one of my favorite people ever. He genuinely cares about those fat people. I mean, SOMEONE has to!

[–]Paging_Dr_Chloroform 20 points21 points ago

I can assure you that Richard Simmons is not a man, but a goddess

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points ago

Correction.

Richard Simmons IS A PONY.

[–]sachspie 12 points13 points ago

I love Richard Simmons and what he has done for our weight loss.

[–]barely_regal 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I read only the last word in his voice.

[–]Typhun 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I subscribe to his feed on facebook. I don't need to lose weight or anything, I just absolutely love that magnificent bastard. He is quite hilarious sometimes.

[–]TheWill2Live 2 points3 points ago

For some reason this specific picture of him creeps me out. something about the eyes. it's like he knows I'm sitting on my ass not doing anything. Be right back, I need to do some sit ups.

[–]davy_crockett 0 points1 point ago

I think there's a lot of makeup and photoshop going on.

[–]MrKrazybones 2 points3 points ago

Men?

This was made better by the fact that calories was not on the screen because of the Reddit Enhancement Suite.

[–]sideone 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

did someone say Reddit Enhancement Suite?

[–]wr1190 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think sideone just did.

[–]p0rtugalvii 1 point2 points ago

That was very funny. It needs more upvotes.

[–]Mark_Lincoln 1 point2 points ago

Are we sure that is a man?

[–]aperturo 1 point2 points ago

no, and it doesn't matter either.

Looks like this new Fatman movie just isn't...

...working out.

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Fuck you for making me laugh at that, you magnificent bastard.

Over the next few days this is going to pop into my head whilst I'm in public and cause me to giggle uncontrollably. To this, I say "Curse you" in advance.

I used to work in beverly hills and had to walk a mile into work each morning from where I could park. Every morning I passed him just strutting along in that exact shirt, a pair of the shortest red shorts I have ever seen a man wear, and a full complement of shining white fluffy head and wrist bands, not to mention his tall white socks.

When I saw this photo, I was reminded of this.

Say OP, aren't your Richard Simmons' best friend? Richard Simmons.

[–]Chimerasame 0 points1 point ago

First thing this morning for me that broke the barrier from "smiling slightly and laughing inwardly" to "actually making noise, such that if i were to type 'lol' somewhere on the internet, it would be accurate."

[–]norris528e 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He's flamboyant as fuck but his stuff works if you stick to it.

[–]Disco_Drew 0 points1 point ago

Does he look like Ricki Lake with an afro to anybody else?

FABULOUS!

So much airbrush.

[–]Sadcab -1 points0 points ago

You know why he comes off as gay? Because, for a man, he looks/is extremely friendly.

[–]wilsonism 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He is effeminate, but I think he plays that shit up and laughs all the way to the bank.

In the 90's I had a friend lose 100 pounds on "deal-a-meal".

[–]Sadcab 0 points1 point ago

Damn! That's really good! Big ups to your friend.

Yeah, Simmons actually sells good products.

First, I read it in Richard Simmons' voice. Then I realized I had Richard Simmons' voice in my head. Finally, I placed a revolver to my temple and wept softly.

As a result of this I just Wiki'd Richard Simmons and wtf

Edit: Someone had completely redone his Wiki page to explain how he died from eating Twinkies.
