Dude, don't scare me like that!
That's only when they start out "Dick van Dyke, 100, ...."
I'm gonna just leave this here...
Thank you for my new favorite meme
The way he moves still is remarkable. He's more spry than some people literally half his age! An absolute inspiration.
Long may he continue.
That man remains a national treasure.
I hope he has jolly holiday!
Holy shit. He made it.
Well done, Mr Van Dyke.
The one time unreasonable censorship would have been fucking hilarious.

When I was teenager they cashed him Penis Von Lesbian

Bert still going strong!
He won an emmy last year!

I watched Mary Poppins so much growing up in the 80s my parents almost actually bought it. Guess they figured 40 rentals was cheaper. He's always the chimney sweep guy to me but he's always great wherever he is.
He will outlive us all
Very few better choices. Mr. Rogers, Dolly Parton, Betty White, LeVar Burton, maybe a few others as contenders (I know some of them have already passed).
I saw a video of him a month or so ago where he said it would be hilarious if he died before he got to 100, just because people are making a big deal out of it. Here's a video of him dancing about a year ago in a Coldplay video, if you haven't seen it and would like to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4OlL0OpbW8
Still wanted for crimes against humanity in Britain
?
The accent in Maty Poppins is a hate crime.
The thing is, he plays 2 different roles in the film, and Mr Dawes's accent isn't nearly as offensive.
Why doesn't he have Hollywood veneer teeth?
Because he's GD Dick Van Dyke
Because he’s a cockney chimney sweep, guv’nor.
Chim-chim-chirEE!
