One of my all-time favorite comedy skits.

It is not normal for that to happen.
One of mine too.
How did he die? Did his front fall off?

The front shall never fall off in quite the same way.

Indeed. I think he should get an honorary burial at sea. You know, somewhere outside the environment. Not in the areas where they're doing the seismic testing, of course.

Still not sure what the last episode of Clarke and Dawe will be. Some ideas from other people:

"died on Sunday while hiking...from natural causes."

Dawes: Thank you John for meeting with us one last time

Clarke: Thank you for having me Brian

Dawes: I'm afraid I have some bad news.

Clarke: Some bad news Brian?

Dawes: Yes, I'm afraid you've died.

Clarke: I've died? How have I died Brian?

Dawes: Natural causes it says here.

Clarke: Natural causes? I was out hiking, can you be more specific?

Dawes: No, sadly that's all we've got.

Clarke: Well, that could mean anything couldn't it Brian.

Dawes: Sorry, beg your pardon?

Clarke: Could mean anything Brian, if you die, while hiking, most things are Natural Causes aren't they.

Dawes: I don't think I follow.

Clarke: I could've died by snake bite, that's a natural cause of death while hiking. Fallen off a cliff!

Dawes: Well, I think it assumes you went peacefully...

Clarke: Died of malnutrition, not much to eat out there Brian.

Dawes: I don't think that's what it means.

Clarke: All you've really told me Brian is that I wasn't murdered by another human being.

Dawes: I'm afraid that's all we have time for. Thanks for everything John.

Clarke: Mauled by a pack of wild dingos...

John Clarke is dead?

No. You're mistaken. He's not dead. He's very much alive.

But the news report said he died.

Ah, define 'died'; because I was laughing at his witty and intelligent satire just this morning on YouTube."

So you're denying he's dead?

I'm not denying anything, just look at his YouTube clips; he's very much alive and will be forever.

It would be great to get a bunch of politicians he had impersonated together to each take a line from Dawes to impersonate Clarke.

Dawes: Renowned satirist, John Clarke, How is the afterlife?

Julia Gillard: Well I didn't get into heaven, I'm stuck on Earth haunting politicians

Dawes: Did they give a reason for you not getting in?

John Howard: I wasn't really paying attention, you see I died while bird watching in the Grampians and was too busy giggling at the Great Tit in my bird book

Plenty of great stuff on Youtube and various other places.

Certainly a top bloke and he will be greatly missed.
