Who were the people at the funeral?


Paid mourners?

I mean, obviously the wife wasn't a real person so no one knew here.

Also interesting how when the wife fell out of the casket all of the black people stayed with him for support and all of the white people sprinted out and left him.

Just goes to show how sympathetic black people are in spite of everything.

Any Questions??

He says in the beginning of the funeral thanks to the choir and the caterers for staying. Which also explains why he asks them to sing and they do

Irving (Knoxville) also said they outlived everyone they knew. So that's why there was no "family and friends"

Assuming they weren't all actors, I would guess that a temp agency offered $20 for two hours work - with the explanation that they were to filling in for a small funeral turnout.

Or the funeral advertised for a few hours paid work to fill out a small turnout.

This sort of thing happens with other businesses: in fact, some of Donald Trump's earliest events had people PAID to be in the audience.

It's really sad that people can't comment on "anything" these days without injecting their political views and/or bashing a candidate.
