Hello siriusnorm,
just my opinion but it may not be hate that is coming from some people but rather an intense love and appreciation for Bob Hope that people have and they feel compelled to respond strongly to your question.
I personally liked Bob Hope alot and I sure miss him.
I'm glad you know who he was.
Take care, -Captain Video -

Desert Storm 1991, USO, sharp as he ever was. He then invited all the Vets to his home in California in 1992, 93.
Every service man from WWII on owes him a debt of gratitude. Just because he hasn't been in any super blockbuster in the last 10 years doesn't mean we've forgotten him!!! Nor has any of the comedians alive today!! -

I've been with IMDB about the same time as you, c. 1999. 111cThis post is Really late, but I was trolling thru my submissions and came across this post. You mentioned Desert Storm, but I actually saw Bob on USO in Viet Nam, in 1969. He was always one of my favorite actors/comedians.

Thank you. Although their reaction is a bit understandable. Bob Hope had been such an entrenched part of American culture for the better part of this century that it's rather hard to believe that the WHOLE WORLD hadn't heard of him. It's kind of like not knowing about John Wayne or Superman.
Still, he was such an American phenomenon that I'm sure there are many parts of the world that is not familiar with him.
Still, that does not excuse rudeness. I apologize for that. -

Maybe you should read the thread in nest form Archer. The only one whose being rude is the troll who started the topic. Calling everyone losers (on the basis of one semi-rude poster) and brainless cause they responded to his pointless post is a little bit rich! Considering the majority of responses were very civil, and not hateful.

Their are a few people who don't know he Bob hope is, but they are either living under a rock or just don't know good comedy when they see it. Hell I was born in the 80's and I have seen just about every movie he was in. To any one who hasen't seen one of his films watch turner classic movies, they are doing something in his honor.

Sorry but there are lots and lots of people of all ages who do not know who Bob Hope is. It's no sign of ignorance or a lack of patriotism. It's not a sign of anything at all except not knowing who he is. I know and love his stuff, but - for cryin' out loud people - let's not overreact!

Hi Dream,
The original poster was an abusive troll;
"I know who Bob Hope is, I just wanted to see how much hate is out there. Get a life LOSERS"
Maybe he should get a life and not start topics feigning ignorance.
