freedomben2• 4 months ago

While normally making jokes after a person's death would be socially questionable, in this case Chuck Norris himself loved the Chuck Norris jokes. For me at least, a good sense of humor is maybe the most endearing personality trait. RIP

Giving people reason to laugh while you are old and dying is a superpower. I wish i will have it, too.

mft_• 4 months ago

Fundamentally, I'd argue that very little should ever be unreasonable or out of bounds to make jokes about; what is important is that it's good humour.

Case in point: https://theonion.com/hijackers-surprised-to-find-selves-in-h...

And, as you say, in Chuck Norris' case, it's virtually obligatory.

willio582• 4 months ago

There was a period of like 2 years when I was a kid where chuck Norris jokes were all the rage on the playground and I made an iPhone app that listed them all.

Jokes like “Chuck Norris is able to slam a revolving door.”

Anyway, I “built” this stupid app when I was like 13, copy-pasted like 300 jokes in there and a random one would show every time you tapped the screen.

Chuck Norris’s estate blocked the app from going live. I wish I had printed that rejection out and framed it.

alias_neo3• 4 months ago

I'm pretty sure they were all the rage when _I_ was at school, but that was long before the iPhone.

I'm curious on what grounds they blocked the app.

dfxm123• 4 months ago

If you're curious, maybe you can look into Chuck's lawsuit against Penguin's book of Chuck Norris facts. He would eventually "co-author" his own book. The obvious guess here is trademark infringement (over use of Chuck's name/likeness) and/or copyright (if some of these facts were lifted from his book).

bananaflag• 4 months ago

(Not the parent poster) I found out about them in 2008-2009, and they were quite popular online and offline.

PurpleRamen• 4 months ago

I'm curious on what grounds they blocked the app.

The app probably used his pictures or his name, which are easy candidates for copyright or trademark-claims.

willio582• 4 months ago

Mentioned below in a few comments but it was on the grounds of using his name/likeness.

MBCook5• 4 months ago

It was so funny how that whole thing happened.

For the first time in over a decade he was suddenly relevant in a way. People remembered he existed, and they were playing off his tough guy image.

And what did he do? Try and shut it down and start suing people. Stupid.

It took him a couple of years to come around to it. If it wasn’t for those jokes would he be remembered anywhere as well? Or would he be a much more obscure celebrity by now?

petcat• 4 months ago

would he be remembered anywhere as well?

You underestimate how popular Walker, Texas Ranger was. It wasn't pulling ratings like Seinfeld, ER, or Friends, but it was a solid primetime staple for almost a decade.

I never watched it myself, but the 50+ demo loved it.

dfxm123• 4 months ago

Maybe not as well, but between the "Walker gave me aids" clip and Conan's Walker Texas Ranger lever, he'd still have been known well enough.

seba_dos1• 4 months ago

romanhn• 4 months ago

Found out about his passing from my teenage kids. They knew him as some legendary tough guy based solely on the jokes, but had no idea who he actually was. To be fair, looking at some other comments here about his political and personal leanings, I didn't know who he actually was either.

observationist• 4 months ago

His proximity to Bruce Lee earned him more or less permanent kung fu cinema fame. Walker,Texas Ranger and other work he did definitely boosted it, but the memes clinched it.

Chuck Norris made a Chuck Norris joke in one of the Expendable movies, and for that I'm willing to forgive all his indiscretions.

> If it wasn’t for those jokes would he be remembered anywhere as well?

You’re assuming the jokes make people dive deeper. In reality I know the jokes and didn’t have a clue who he was and never cared enough to find out. The reality is the probably didn’t make much of a difference to how well he or his work was actually known.

amelius2• 4 months ago

Isn't that an obligation when you own a trademark? That you sue people, or else you may lose the trademark?

That scene makes the movie one of the few 10/10 movies in my opinion. It's perfect for the target audience.

Seeing my dad, who grew up on these actors' action flicks, laugh himself to tears when Chuck Norris appears is one of my favourite memories.

Cpoll• 4 months ago

Having been near the epicenter, I recall that Vin Diesel jokes (same format) pre-dated Chuck Norris ones. I always found it a shame that the Chuck Norris ones caught on; Vin Diesel is, imo, a better role model.

mindslight3• 4 months ago

Chuck Norris’s estate blocked the app from going live. I wish I had printed that rejection out and framed it.

Seeing the youthful spirit run headfirst into the corprocracy of locked down devices and app stores is depressing. Twenty years ago you would have made a webapp or flash animation, most likely avoided scrutiny and not even been shaken down. Thirty years ago you would have made a QBasic program and floppy/email/dcc it to your friends, completely illegible to the corprocracy. But these days simply trying to publish through the common channels, and you're immediately subject to restrictions made for businesses.

The Ruby gem "Faker" is used for generating fake data for testing, like legit-looking names, emails, phone numbers, lorum ipsum text, etc. About 10 years ago I was working on a messaging app, and wanted some real messages to see in the UI while I was developing it. One of the best engineering decisions I've made in my career was to pick the Chuck Norris Facts generator for the messages, so every time I re-seeded my local db or looked at a review app on staging, I was greeted by two fake people sending a half-dozen Chuck Norris facts to each other.

Chuck Norris (and Michael Landon) were golden age role models for young men. Strong but thoughtful, firm but compassionate, and deeply principled but also practical. Yes, these were acting roles but they picked those roles for a reason. Rest in peace, Chuck.

simpaticoder2• 4 months ago

I am not a scholar in general, or of Chuck Norris specifically. I only have the impressions I have from the pop culture I've consumed. Like most people. And for us, Norris represents something wholesome.

For others, those who've read something, or know more, or think they know more, that symbol, that myth, has been ruined. The illusion pierced, the ugly reality revealed. They then look with pity, disdain and contempt at those who still admire the person. Or worse, they make the bad faith argument that to admire him is in fact to embrace those ruinous facts of which most are still ignorant.

Frankly, I think what you're doing is a farce. You're showing the world how smart you are and how dumb everyone else is. Ultimately you're trying to prove how dumb it is to believe in anyone or anything. If you look closely enough you'll find dirt on anyone. There is a contradiction: you claim a moral stance, but your "moral" position degrades the very idea of role models, heroism, and admiration itself. With enough scrutiny, admiration tends to zero.

The reality of the person is irrelevant. What matters is what they mean, what they symbolize, and the kind of archetype they represent. This is of course not true universally; some mythological people are alive, powerful, and dangerous and we cannot afford such kayfabe. But some are harmless and imply no endorsement of their misdeeds. Especially for actors, storytellers, artists, scientists and perhaps a few others we not only CAN afford it, we SHOULD do it, because these role models (or symbols of role models) are what make up the beating heart of a coherent culture.

I choose to admire Chuck Norris, Michael Jackson, George Washington, Ben Franklin, Gahndi, Isaac Asimov, even if some deeds of theirs were wicked. I prefer to go through life admiring symbols of people even knowing that these are constructs. To do otherwise is to recognize the futility of admiration, and I choose not to live that way.

He was openly maga and a homophobe and a transphobe. I wouldn’t consider these qualities for a role model.

I think you forget that Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act and put in the policy of “Don’t ask don’t tell” and Obama supported it originally.

Of course they both had a change of heart- was it true change or they saw the direction of the political winds? Who knows?

I don’t know Chuck Norris’s views on LGBT. But if he was a self proclaimed “born again Christian” and a rabid Trump supporter, I can only guess. But I no more expect people who were insulted by what he said (which I personally don’t know) to give him more grace or reverence than I do is a Black man who couldn’t give two shits about a dead racist podcaster.

Other people no more need to “contextualize” homophobia than I feel a need to “contextualize” the racism of a dead podcaster.

So many commenters here are, or choose to be, completely obvlivious to the fact that Chuck Norris was a racist little man who decried Obama becoming president, supported Trump through both campaigns, and openly hated muslims and gay people.

Yeah, really tough guy.

Yeah, I was pretty bummed with how Chuck Norris and Hulk Hogan turned out in the end.

Chuck Norris haven't died, he just went to carry out the Last Judgement of God (ant probably torture Satan on the way).

I had no idea he was in his 80s (older than my parents would be), and that he did Walker, Texas Ranger when he was in his 50s. The final episodes aired when he was 61! That's nuts.

Not a fan of him in real life (based on how he portrayed himself publicly), but I do find his level of physical fitness even more impressive back in the 1990s (and even up until his death), given his age.

From one of my friends:

"Chuck Norris didn't die. Death had a near-Chuck Norris experience."

RIP

he's not really dead, one of his morning push-ups just launched him into a new universe.

At my country we produced some weakness jokes: When Chuck opens the fridge, he finds the jelly trembling.

CN might be the only favourite person in HN that has protected his IP by lawyers. THAT is an achievement.

He wished the death on himself because he couldn’t bear witness to trump being alive.
