One of the funniest people I've ever known, my friend Brian Reich, passed away Monday.He did incredible work for Triumph, @SachaBaronCohen,Chris Elliott (Eagleheart) & esp @ConanOBrien's Late Night show.Brian talked about his most famous creations here -RS teamcoco.com/podcasts/insid…

@SachaBaronCohen @ConanOBrien Brian would laugh at the idea of an obituary highlighting The Masturbating Bear, but the truth is, any of us would've been proud to have come up with something that perfectly simple and ridiculous, not to mention its shocking staying power.

In 1996 Pimpbot 5000 was the show's first real breakout character. 70s pimps were a comedy staple back then but Brian somehow found a fresh take and America* was Pimpbot 5000-crazy.
* wasted college kids in the 90s

I don't know a writer who knew him who wasn't in awe of Brian's talent. He wrote plenty of great one shot bits. @TeamCoco please find it in your heart to put "Celebrities in a Box" featuring the late Nipsey Russell and the later Sy Sperling, online.

Brian was not only an amazing writer for Triumph, he was pretty much the first to write the earliest bits with me, before we started doing lots of them and more people threw in jokes. #worms @TomArnold

Okay I did find this fantastic classic of Brian's and I'm not gonna say any more than that. Just watch it.

Please, @TeamCoco, put the "Curse of Cocoon" up on the web, too. Meanwhile, here's something Brian wrote last year to coincide with @TheEllenShow wrapping up. It helps to know that Ellen loves flipping houses and is allegedly horrible. #LetsBeReal

I would love for people who knew Brian to post their favorite sketches of his, or anything else related to him...meanwhile, since this is a Triumph account, some of you may enjoy this...Brian wrote all the lyrics for this Triumph and @jackblack screed
