DL Hughley, one of the Kings of Comedy, speaks at the public memorial service for fellow King, Bernie Mac, at Salem Baptist Church's The House of Hope in Chicago on August 16, 2008.

[@darkwriter_xx94]

anyone notice whenever they're about to cry they tell jokes to make themselves laugh to keep from crying.

[@thomashester2]

[@ascasc6396]

Good observation! I was reading the comments to see if someone would pick up this. These guys have perfected their art.

[@elimwebbe6655]

That's true

[@killerra]

The way DL pulled himself together with a few jokes, that was just beautiful.

[@SibGirl01]

I think DL knew if he didn't laugh (respectfully), he was going to cry.

[@justmy2cents_]

Something wasn't right with his death then & after watching this I still feel even more foul play has been done!! I believe Bernie was either asked to be initiated or was but didn't exactly know what he was getting himself into! I heard a rumour that he was shown the cloning centers ( yes they do exist) & he wanted to speak out about it but your boy Steve didn't quite want that to happen!!?? Like I said that's what was rumoured at that time! And after that episode with Monique I kinda get it!!! DL has never really been quite the same to me when I watch his interviews he seems perturbed & troubled!

I have never laughed and cried so much at the same time. RIP King

R.I.P. Bernie, I don't cry often at the deaths of celebrities, but Bernie Mac, watching this, the tears are coming back. What a life to take. Another great that still has me in tears, Robin Williams. whew....

"Bernie Mac was a man" - a wonderful and great tribute..

[@fastone56]

A few months ago, a good friend of mine died. He wasn't a professional comedian but was very funny. At his funeral his humour was a comfort for everyone there because it made you realize that the celebration of the life lived is so much more important than their death. RIP Bernie

[@JRob594]

I'm gonna just be honest after I saw Bernie on Kings of comedy I wanted to be just like him he didn't have no filter when it came to his jokes which is why he was the funniest out of all of them he said what was on his mind and didn't care how u felt about it

[@christian_person5058]

joseph robinson I agree, Bernie was old school he didn’t care what anyone thought! Richard Pryor was like that too! They would have never apologized and backed down from something they said on the stage about gays, women, men, or any ethnicity or race! Kevin Hart begged those white folks and lgbt community for forgiveness, over something he said more than a decade ago! Bernie and Richard would have told those folks to kiss their a$$! Because they could still make their money on the road if necessary! If do comedy on stage there is no such thing as being politically correct! Bernie was a real black man! I definitely miss him! He kept it real !

[@PowerupDancer]

Laughter at a funeral helps you remember the good/fun times...

[@DrouTOP]

This is just how I imagined his funeral would be. Heart felt, warm, welcoming, family oriented, & funny as hell. Comedy has lost a great man, but gained great memories.

Man, Wish I could've been at that event. Loved Bernie Mac since I was a kid, watched all the movies he was in, Booty Call, House Party, Don't be a menace, Friday, inappropriate for my age at the time but the small roles he had in those movies made them funny as hell. Was devastated the day I heard he died. I was upset thinking how we can't have another movie him in it.
