        Part of me thinks he’d appreciate more than most how truly funny it can be to explain a joke after the delivery of the punchline

        Edit ok all of me thinks that

      He still does, he just used to as well.

      Its another one of his jokes.

      “I used to like blank. I still do, but I used to as well”

      He gave us the gift of laughter in a really kind, genuine way. And the joke, as others have explained, is a riff on one of his better known one-liners.

      I mean, I still love him. But I used to, too.

      Edit: I’m pretty sure the joke was: I used to do a lot of drugs. I mean, I still do. But I used to, too.
