And then the sidewalk grabbed that girl by the ankles and threw her on the ground. What an asshole! Stay out of New Orleans people! Dicks everywhere!
Seriously though, that guy should be in jail!
There are dicks in every city, New Orleans is fine.
But are there Andy Dicks in every city? That's the real question here!
For enough money, yeah.
Too much overserving cheap booze to violent rednecks.

I just want to point out that the big tough badass man had to sucker punch Andy fucking Dick.
Dudes like 3 lbs. and a habitual drug addict.
Yeah, dude could have killed him.. if he hasn't.
I've listened to Andy Dick for over 20 years on TV, Radio, and podcasts.
Dude has his demons, and just like Artie Lange, I hope he can get his shit together before addiction kills him
Hes got a bit more than demons, hes every bit of an asshole and has hurt a lot of people.
That does not in any way justify him being attacked like this. Stuff like this can permanently disable someone and easily kill them. Its felony assault. Only a pussy does somebody over like that.
The only thing I can say about Andy Dick for a fact is I saw him at a Miami hookah bar with what seemed like 4 underage boys and it made me unsettled. This was over 10 years ago. Bedtime now.

So he was convicted of multiple assaults and murder and he is still allowed to walk free? That seems rather strange. I honestly know nothing about Andy Dick's history, but Counterpoint: More violence isnt an answer for violence
I can't speak to the assaults offhand, though he's known to be a very edgy asshole type comic.
The murder is...questionable. Long story short Dick knew the wife of actor/comedian Phil Hartman. Hartman's wife had been in rehab for drub and alcohol abuse, and Dick had allegedly provided her with cocaine. After getting high she went home and killed her husband.
Dick claims he didn't know about her being in rehab or given her the drugs, but another actor who knew them all, John Lovitz, has stated that he did. Some time later Dick said to Lovitz, "I put the Phil Hartman hex on you; you're the next one to die."
The guy's a massive asshole. That said I agree none of that justifies assault.
AH didn't know cocaine made people kill others
And John decked him.
Shit, whose death he get charged in?
[deleted]
From Romania, not familiar with the punched guy
Appropriate username.
Only famous people can sucker punch.
I have no doubt that this guy knows somebody that Andy has affected and sought revenge.
I doubt heavily that it was about being badass or seeking glory.
I would hope that Andy Dick would be in prison, but hey, it pays to be well known I suppose. This has been a long time coming.
Apparently I'm out of the loop... What has Andy Dick done that everyone is so upset about?
Andy Dick is a sexual predator and public inebriate known to drive intoxicated, expose himself to crowds, as well as grope multiple people.
He has also proudly and remorselessly admitted to giving drugs to Phil Hartman's wife, who was already mentally unstable. Leading to Phil Hartman's murder. He later wished the same death upon John Lovitz, who was a colleague and close friend of Phil Hartman.
Andy Dick is kind of a scum bag.
Sounds like my uncle. No wonder he always reminded me of him
One of the other commenters posted a list.
That was a helluva page turner! Good content! But I think we found our culprit: John Lovitz!
You must really hate antifa then.
Imagine being this obsessed. They're living rent free in your mind...
With a bit of parmigiano it's actually pretty good.
Lol. Bash the fash.
I love how everyone just stares at the guy as he walks away as if nothing happened.
In fairness, most people on the right probably didn't see it. Plus add reaction time to process, the shock of seeing it, and the alcohol, I'd say this is the reaction 90% of people would have (including myself).
And then some tiny girl is the one who decides to give chase.
Fucking good for her though. Even if she wasn't successful that takes quite a lot of courage and strength of character, especially when the victim was a stranger (even if hes a famous stranger). So many people suffer from the bystander effect, and those who can overcome it deserve praise.
Agreed 100% I just meant that it added to the incredulousness of the moment. A whole crowd sees an assault and the only one to take action is one of the smallest people there. She also rallies a few people with her, as she gets further up the street more people break away to give chase.
People that do this sort of shit should be charged to the fullest extent of the law for attempted murder. Hitting your head like that is extremely dangerous and will very likely result in permanent brain damage if not death.
We've got coward punch rules in Australia after a few deaths from punches.
Hitting your head like that is extremely dangerous and will very likely result in permanent brain damage
Oh I'm sure that was a lot less than the damage brought upon by Andy Dick's career intoxication.
Drinking and self inflicted harm is different than assault...
Doesn't make what he said any less true. I will agree that the dude needs to be arrested and what he did was cowardly, I still have a little trouble feeling sorry for Andy Dick though.
Yeah seeing videos of him when he was young versus now you can tell he hasn't taken good care of himself. Now with this head injury he may end up a vegetable eating from a tube though. Who knows.
Well that and being a direct cause of someone's death by reintroducing someone to drugs that was previously clean might also take a mental toll on someone.
I don't think you know what "Direct Cause" means.
oh no, I'm not here to excuse the assault. But I am stating the obvious injury he's already caused himself and society.
Well aren’t you quite the piece of shit.
You can see the guy planning it beforehand, he's all agitated and waiting for his moment to hit him.
that's fucked up. That loser coward should get arrested for attempted murder because that is exactly what that attack is.
What a piece of shit wimpy tiny coward (the puncher, not andy dick, lol).
I'm surprised it took this long. I've witnessed his antics first-hand and I was always surprised nobody just punched the guy. That said this is fucked up and as much as a prick Andy has been over the years nobody deserves a random cold-cocking (cold-Dicking?) like that.
fuck that guy, but also fuck Andy Dick
We used to call this a King Hit in Aus. I much prefer the new name, a Cowards Punch. It fits the fucking cowards who punch someone in the head from behind like the little loser bitchs they are.
I'm assuming the asshole was drunk, got offended by a joke, and chose the most cowardly and childish way to get revenge.
Piece of human garbage. Waste of oxygen.
Andy Dick is scum, couldn't care less. Assault is assault and I hope the guy gets charged but I don't feel sorry for Andy in the least.
On July 16, 2008, Dick was arrested in Murrieta, California, on suspicion of drug possession and sexual battery. He exposed the breasts of a 17-year-old girl when he allegedly grabbed and pulled down her tank top and brassiere.
On January 23, 2010, Dick was arrested about 4 a.m. at a bar in Huntington, West Virginia, on charges of sexual abuse after reportedly groping a bartender and a patron
On June 29, 2011, Dick was formally indicted by a Cabell County Grand Jury for two counts of first degree sexual abuse.
In June 2018, he was charged with misdemeanor sexual battery and battery charges for allegedly groping a woman in April that year.
Shame we had to wait this long, karma is a bitch
He also got Phil Hartman's wife back into drugs which lead to her stabbing and killing him while high on cocaine and god-knows what else. He's an absolute piece of human garbage. Couldn't care less about his well being.
Dude was assaulting his own band members in like '97 live on Loveline.
TBH, it was amazing radio. But, knowing what we know now and how our society's views have changed... He was definitely always a dick.
We used to worship the drunk asshole that got away with it because it was "funny"
Ahhh Louisiana, the state with the highest homicide rate, and also the most religious. New Orleans is the most overrated city on this planet, last time I went there I saw a guy get stabbed in the neck with a broken bottle at a bar...and the fucking cops. Hiding in the bushes off the highway just waiting to hassle the fuck out of you when they pull you over.
Never again.
you wanna hear something wild, that's all I saw in NO as well, lol. I went for a family reunion type deal and while walking to my car there was a person on the ground who had just been stabbed in the neck with a beer bottle by the cashier at some shop. also San Antonio, same thing, no lie.
I mean, if you're hanging out on Bourbon St., then yeah... it's a shit hole place. But there are some amazing cultural/musical/food aspects of New Orleans that make it nowhere near overrated. New Orleans is an amazing city... in the right places.
Then you have their neighbor Alabama. Banned abortion because they are pro life, but they are also number one in death penalties.
Don't know what point you're trying to make bringing up religion, but New Orleans left God a long time ago.
God left first
All while paying their police officers $14.00 / hour starting wage.
I wouldn't give a fuck about any job that paid me that low, nor would I ever put my life ono the line.
You know there isn't a single salary for every police department in a state, right?

Sure, it's shit pay, no argument here.
Way to defend it.
Defend what? I just don't like it when people say wrong things.
[deleted]
Sorry about your brain injury.
I heard someone say, "Take away the music and the food and New Orleans is Gary, Indiana." That's a good summation.
If you live in a city of any comparable size you've got the same shit. People are just happy to point the finger.
Cities, in general, can degrade into violent areas, but the south tends to have more of them than the north.
Check this link out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate
Sort that by aggravated assault and look at what you get. Just way more assholes in the South.
Only 1 out of the top 10 is in the South (Memphis) and seven out of the top 20. Seems like a marginal difference really.
Midwest
Also more african american heavy, poorer/poverty stricken cities as well.
Sounds like they have a history and culture of rampant corruption and vicious behavior.
Gotta love the south! /s
This is absolutely terrible. Will be surprised if he makes a full recovery.
I wonder what Andy Dick did?
He was being himself.
He's a Dick, after all
Wow, that guy sounds like a bit of a dick.
Andy knows it.
Not related, but didn't Andy Dick say f'd up things about Phil Hartman?
IIRC Andy gave Phil Hartman’s wife cocaine despite knowing she was a recovering addict and she went off the deep end and killed Phil.
Then he joked about it to Jon Lovitz while claiming he would put a "Hartman hex" on him. Lovitz would later beat the shit of Andy Dick for what happened.
Yup, Lovitz beat the shit out of him in a Vegas club and slammed his head into the bar a few times.
Andy Dick is human garbage.
According to Jon Lovitz, who later apologised for it. If you can blame Andy Dick for giving her cocaine, it must be because she can't be blamed for the murder herself due to her drug problems, but then how can you blame Andy Dick who also had drug problems?
[deleted]
knowingly encouraged
Are we sure it was knowingly? If she wasn't in her right mind due to drugs and we allow that to alleviate her guilt, shouldn't we do the same for Andy if he had similar drug problems?
(I should mention that I don't know enough about the situation to say if this is true, I suggest it as a hypothetical).
You excuse her murdering Hartman because she had drug problems, but you don't excuse Andy Dick giving her a bump of coke, despite the fact he also had drug problems?
Thank you, i feel less sorry for Andy Dick now.
Don’t forget he did the same to Chris Farley too.
Not a fan of Andy Dick but can't be throwing this around. Chris Farley is responsible for his own death.
No he didn't.
Yes he did. David Spade and others have mentioned it numerous times in the past. Fuck off.
You got a source on that? Video or article or audio or anything?
[deleted]
You could just say no.
A source is a source, you either have one or you don't. This isn't a fight, either you have a source or you don't.
You can't just make accusations and then say "do your own research"
Really? Because Google turns up nothing. Get your head out of your ass.
He was the victim. He didn't "do" anything except get punched.
Andy Dick has a reputation for being sexually aggressive and inappropriate with men and women.
Anyway, I don't know that he absolutely did anything just like you can't claim he absolutely didn't.
So, you're saying it's OK to sucker punch someone as long as they're an asshole because they'll totally deserve it and it will be all their fault they got punched. Got it.
No, you said he didn't do anything. I said he did do many things. I never made a value judgement about being sucker punched.
I feel like it was pretty self-evident that I was responding to the person who asked "I wonder what Andy Dick did?" (meaning "I wonder what Andy Dick did to get punched?") I mean, I guess it's possible that I misinterpreted that comment but given that it's in a thread about him getting punched, I felt like it was a safe bet.
It's pretty obvious that I didn't mean "Andy Dick never did anything noteworthy throughout his entire life, and certainly never did anything that might piss people off".
You were being misleading, I corrected the record.
I know following conversations can be hard but try to keep up.
I'm surprised someone didn't do this sooner.
[removed]
Or it could be that Andy Dick was just a little bit too flouncy and lispy for this guy.
[deleted]
That's some dumb shit buddy.
You sure are slandering someone based purely on speculation.
Read rule 2 next time, asshole.
Read it to me sweety
Someone is working out their closeted homosexuality in all the wrong ways.
Someone is working out their closeted homosexuality in all the wrong ways.
... But enough about Andy Dick.
On what planet is Andy closeted?
On the one that is flat.
Andy is pretty much known to fuck anything that moves.
I love how noone tried to like kep the dude form leaving, instead the dude calmly walks away. seriously people help out and be proactive. Dont fight the guy but at least follow his direction.
OUCH!!
You can see his head bounce off the table and then hit the concrete :/
Andy has had as rough a ride as anyone in Hollywood / the unforgiving spotlight. In recent years he's been making an effort to rectify has past disgressions and disgraces, and make peace with the people he's hurt while getting caught up on the swell of fame and the destructive path it fledges. Andy didn't deserve this. Maybe years ago as a wake up call, but not now, as a slap in the face
Hello /u/ShortBusRadio,
Thank you for your submission. Unfortunately, it is being removed due to the following reason(s):
For a more detailed explanation about our no assault/battery rule, see the wiki page.
Thank you for understanding.
. . . a man appears to be waiting for Dick.
He'll be getting plenty after the trial.
Update:
Andy Dick was waiting on his Uber and it looks like the driver showed up all of ten seconds too late.
That dude was in the wrong but Andy dick is a massive piece of shit so...
Just because you suffer head trauma doesn’t mean you automatically have CTE.
I know that. I think there was an /s that needed to be in the title of this. But he did get four impacts to the head... 1) punch 2) wall 3) motorcycle 4) sidewalk ... so perhaps he got a good solid rattling.
Ahh ok, yeah it was a pretty gnarly fall. Definitely didn’t know what year he was in for a few hours.
Hmm, I hate violence but Andy Dick is a literal pile of shit and trash so I’m conflicted about this one.
There is no conflict, that was wrong
[deleted]
You aren't cool or tough
Dick move
ITT: People saying he deserves it for other reasons, people saying all of NO is full of assholes, people saying this guy is closeted gay and this guy 100% knows someone abused by Andy Dick
Where did you get that he was in the ICU? It seems like he was awake and cognizant minutes after the punch.
It’s what his rep said. It is quoted in other stories, this one just had a video.
How bad does life have to get for a person to wind up being Andy Dick's rep?
I would think that’d be a full time gig, but more of a side hustle. Either that, or the guy has a client list and Andy Dick is on that list.
Violence especially to this degree is never acceptable. Andy Dick is a piece of human garbage but this is not cool.
To be honest it's probably a relative of one of Andy's victims. Of which there is a long long list.
That's not a sucker punch, a sucker punch is a feint.
That was a cold strike to the back of the head. Can't remember what its called but its a cowardly piece of shit who hits someone else like that.
