These were some of the funniest, most prolific comedians who ever graced the mic. Whether they were the bright and bubbly sort, or the “tortured soul,” they all experienced some wondrous, that had us green with envy. There’s a ton of video evidence to back that up. They lived. Oh how they lived. That was our positive spin on the obviously not-so peachy conclusions. 

Don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. Some had these incredibly upbeat sign-offs, and some even went out with a joke. What better ending can a comedian hope for? Like a freedom fighter goin’ out on the frontlines. So, let’s take a moment to remember the happiness they helped spread ‘round the world before delving into these last harrowing words from these 15 late, great comedy icons.

One final joke before he was unable to speak.

CRACKED DUSTIN DIAMOND His doctors had just told him the slightest scratch could cause him to bleed to death, so he told his friend Dan Block, When I swallow my throat hurts... but like something dropped honey on the bed sheet, not even the floor, not my jeans, so it's five second rule... yeah 0.0005 second rule could kill me.
