The rumors of his demise are FALSE. This is one of thos trivia questions that has gone on for at least 15 years. Is Barney Miller and Fish actor Abe Vigoda alive or dead. ALIVE, ALIVE, ALIVE I tell people over the years. Finally thanks to Snicker’s Superbowl Ad, I finally have proof.
In case you missed it..
Abe is ageless. Maybe because he looked 80 when he was 30. Here’s to long life!!!
I need a Snickers I think 😀
I am the subliminal marketer for Snickers.
I always loved that guy.. Wonder if anyone under the age of..? 30 knows who that is?
Anyone?? Anyone???
Betty White is awesome. I know she’s already pretty old and I’m still sorta young, but everything I’ve ever seen her in, she was awesome 😀 (I think that makes sense?)
Just for you Danica, mental floss did an article on why Betty White is Awesome.

I’m blown away.
I recognise Betty White, but who is the old guy? At least I know what a Snickers bar is.
Love your caricatures, btw. (heh, thanks to Dictionary.com I just learned that caricature has no “h” –thought it was a derivative of “character”. Go me!) :`P
Did we determine what country you are from yet? I need to know for my commenter map I have posted on my wall.
Hey I watched the Superbowl this year, I really love baseball. Bastards took out all the US ads.
I really hope that first sentence was a joke 😛
You need to spend more time with the Loon Danica. She is never serious.
I’m going to get an “Abe Vigoda LIVES!” t-shirt made.
I want a picture of you wearing it. I’ll post it.
You thought you had me then didn’t you! Abe Vigoda, WTF is that? Can’t be real, surely?
Well there is a wiki page with image of a person who looks damn well dead to me!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Vigoda
I am telling you, he looked the same 30 years ago.
It’s true, in fact he looks younger in the Snickers ad than ever before, which makes me think it’s a body double.
Uh…yes it was a body double. You think he took that hit?
If Abe is only 30, why not take a spill into nice wet mud!
I would have hopes so 🙂 Betty did!!!
i haven’t thought about him in years. thanks for posting the commercial, i missed it on sunday. love betty white!
Thought about him or THOUGHT about him?
He used to pop up on Late Nite with Conan alot. Cool caricature.
Really…sorry I missed those.
Was Mark Twain quoted as saying something to that effect (or is it just time for my Snickers)?! 🙂
Something to that effect.
Either way … I feel like I could use a Snickers.
Ok I am laughing at you slightly through my teeth. Does that work for a snicker?
Go Betty!
Go Abe!
I used to love him in those shows. I didn’t know he was presumably dead.
Word travels slow down to Tazmania.
That is soooo cool!!!
My drawing or the commercial?
I had heard that he was dead as well glad to know he’s still around!
Terri is responsible for spreading the rumor!!!
Betty White is great and so Is Abe Vigoda. He hasn’t aged a day in 30 years. He still looks a 100. Now I just need to get a Cloris Leachman fix.
Did you drool over her in the Longest Yard remake???
i’m gonna get more snickers now
Advertising works. Esp on you young impressionable youth.
mmmm quit your jibber jabba! get ursel some nuts! hehe 😀
Ursel???
urself!
You can’t trust stuff nowadays though…don’t those dinosaurs in Jurassic Park look pretty authentic, too? 😛
Cant say. I wasn’t around to see the originals to compare..haha
I know you weren’t there. If you had been Abe and I would have seen you.
haha…Well at least you had company.
im still upset with you over your little sarah palin preference ! u traitor!
Oh so now you are spamming this thread too. haha. I didn’t pick her over you. Why can’t you both fit the category?
You know I was kidding.
That’s so funny because when we saw that commercial during the Super Bowl I asked my cousin, “Isn’t that guy dead?” Nice likeness of Abe btw.
He’s ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!
yes, i did miss it and thank you for showing me this! i love betty white, she is so cool! also good to know abe is still alive too…it’s only a matter of time though.
Great…that is what people have been telling him for years.
You could probably do a whole series of strips on the Super Bowl ads – this year was a bumper crop of comic material!
True but it was odd not seeing a Pepsi commercial this year.
I could easily live off Snickers!
Hey, I don’t want to leave you out of the loop, and I want to add you to the blogroll here soon. My newest comic is about to launch. Previews are up now. http://www.burnttoaster.com
Holy carp man!! How many comics you planning to do. I’ll update my roll.
Hahahaha – it’s amazing a great character actor like that wasn’t busy all these years!!
Good call!!
Thanks. Well it looks like someone paid attention. He has 4 movies coming out in the next year.
My wife and I saw him on one of the morning News? shows a couple of weeks ago and were surprised to find out he is still alive. Your depiction is great. It kind of makes you wonder who else is still hangin’ around out there don’t it?
I’ll tell you this. Elvis is really dead.
I used to love watching “Fish” on Barney Miller when I was a kid.
Yeah, I was a weird kid then, too. 🙂
Hated Barney Miller but I liked Fish.
