John Witherspoon was like Morgan Freeman, he looked old his entire life. Legend. I never realized how much he drank tho until Joe Rogan podcast, OG was legit an alcoholic

Pops was like that OG breh that we all want to be when we get to that age. He was a one of a kind and will be missed by all of us.

Rest. In. Peace.
Legit sad. Rip pops. I dont want any new Friday or Boondocks without him tbh
I think he finished Friday according to the Gumbo video.
I hope they do him a sendoff. Like Pops wins the lottery and moves out the hood.

A legend who's been in many historic films. Rest in peace. He always felt like a family member to a lot of people.
This is life though. When my pops died I had to deal with my friends/his friends moving on before we did as well. It sucks but the internet is just a reflection on a bigger scale, like a funhouse mirror or something.
Some people die in complete anynomity. Take anyone who appreciates you or your loved ones even if it's for a second as a positive, life is short for EVERYONE.
Pour out some mad dog 20/20 for the legend. Rip pops

Sad to hear about John Witherspoon's passing.
He was lowkey one of the funniest men in America in every role he played. Sometimes you feel like every black family had a "John Witherspoon" character, which made him really relatable. He was one of the GOAT "black dad" actors and was great in the Boondocks, the Wayans Brothers, and especially Friday.
"You win some, you lose some, but you live to fight another day."
One role that stuck out to me though was his bit in Hollywood Shuffle (underrated movie).
Peace to his family and close friends. Hope they're doing alright

There's Talking Dirty After Dark that he did with Martin Lawrence back in the day. I don't even remember if it was released in theaters.
He was funny in Soul Plane too, I just found out that the woman he was sitting next to in the movie was his real life wife.
