We lost Chaim Topol today (September 9, 1935 - March 9, 2023).
Known across the world as Tevye from the 1971 film adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof, but best known across Imgur as the meme,
"I'll tell you...I don't know."
Goodbye, Topol. You'll live forever in our memes!
Happy shitposting everyone!!
I thought I'd post something memorable...but 2 1/2 hours later that turned into a shitpost of gifs I made from the opening of Fiddler on the Roof.
Enjoy!
This one's for you, @RepostStatistics
THT and RHM!
I suppose some of us don't know who NDelRey is...be glad.
I'm personally going to get a LOT of mileage out of this one...
BabyFarkMcGeeZax is the one who inspired me to try my hand ad OC, and while I'm not quite Intergalactic yet, this one's for you, @BabyFarkMcGeeZax

Absolutely blew my mind when I recently learned that he was only 35 years old when he played in Fiddler. RIP.

A fine tribute.

I must have watched Fiddler 50 times growing up. Also I couldn't understand why they needed a blessing for the TAR, not CZAR.

Topol? The smoker’s tooth polish?

Now I’m sad.

One of life's cruelest cruelties is that unless you die very young, you spend most of it old.

Fiddler is one of my favorite musicals! Love him. RIP Topol

First movie I ever saw 3 times. Took my very Irish Catholic grandmother to it, which, in hindsight, was a pretty gutsy move

Don't forget he was in (one of my favourite movies) 'Flash Gordan' as Dr Hans Zarkov.

+1 @OP! I've been having one of the worst weeks of my life and this just made me smile BIG TIME. Thank you.

Yes! I was like ... He's Dr. Hans Zarkof from The 80's Masterpiece "Flash Gordon"!

Most underrated 80s flick

"Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset. Swiftly fly the years. One season following another- laden with Happiness, and Tears." RIP, Tevye.

Now that's what I call tradition. May his memory be a blessing to all
LadyOfSevenWounds
To me, he was Dr. Zarkoff in the Flash Gordon movie...

Can I ask how this "fuck you, Lassannn" all started?
Lassannn
I used to go viral like 6 times a day with obvious reposts (I still do, but I used to, too), but my first day here
Lassannn
9 years ago I made up a bullshit sob story.
FirstClassTicketToHell
It was long ago, and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today. Wait, that was Meatloaf. I don’t even remember for sure.
FirstClassTicketToHell
I think he used to repost viral content for karma farming, which always earned him a hearty fuck you. Or was he an imposter username trick?
