On his Twitter feed this morning, Tim Heidecker (of Tim and Eric: Awesome Show, Great Job!) announced that Richard Dunn, a regular cast member and everyone's favorite Pep-Pep, had passed away. Some classic Dunn moments: A Special Message from Richard Dunn, Dunngeon (with Dave Navarro), Whistle, You're the Best, Richard Dunn's Kissing Booth (at Awesomecon 2009), Shot Dunn, French Kiss Tie-braker, Two Boys from Germany. You will be missed, Pep-Pep.
A boxer named Richard Dunn passed away yesterday. Is this the same guy? Coincidence? Wikipedia mistake?

roll truck roll: Not sure. Can't find any news on the boxer, but both Tim & Eric, and Adult Swim, have announced the actor's death.

He was so awesome. I don't really watch the show anymore, but he was one of my faves...
He really just did seem like a great guy. You could hang out and shoot the shit with him...

Dunn never seemed to get the knack for being in front of the camera, and that's why I loved watching him.

It all depends on how one reacts to another's awkwardness. For me, his onscreen performance was reminiscent of Larry "Bud" Melman, and not in a good way.
In any event, I am sorry to hear of his passing.

I was a lot sadder when I heard this than I would have expected. He was a funny old guy who did a fantastic job on Awesome Show.

Not entirely unexpected I suppose, but he's been a comedy hero to my friends and I since the first T&EASGJ. We'll miss him.

This makes me sad. I hope being on Tim and Eric these last few years brought him a lot of joy.
Bones for Richard Dunn, indeed.
