Artie is the only one who can tell the judge he did cocaine to celebrate staying off heroin and still stay out of jail!

Artie Lange avoids jail but tests positive for cocaine at N.J. court appearance. ‘It’s in my system

rtie Lange makes light of his collapsed 'cocaine nose'

Comedian Artie Lange, who appeared in state Superior Court in Newark for a probation violation on Friday, avoided jail time even though he tested positive for drugs.

The nose knows.

He used to be pretty funny, now he is just sad.

A head cold must be a bitch.

I learned something new today, I never heard of this.

You and me both. and his nose appeared normal just 18 months ago.

Cocaine tends to eat the cartilage away. I had a convict that could stick a pencil thru the cavity in his lower nose where the cartilage used to be. But hey, drugs are cool.

This explains the "cocaine nose job" lyric in "Loser" by Beck.

He has always kinda played the lovable loser but this is beyond pathetic. If he doesn’t get cleaned up this time he won’t be alive much longer. Knowing his personality he just won’t be able to do it. If for some strange miracle that he could and he actually out lives his mom he would OD the day she gets put in the ground.

Most people lose their job and run out of money but not this guy he’s still a big earner that has an endless supply of drugs. I can’t even fathom how much money he has wasted on drugs over the years. It’s not even sad anymore it’s beyond pathetic really.

Cocaine's a bitch.

Sad.

I became a fan of his during his Howard Stern days. Addiction is tough.

I wonder how much money he wasted. Mike Tyson would have done that to his nose for a lot less, I'm sure.

Do not recall ever hearing about this guy.

It has not been a secret about the various types of damage cocaine does to the body. And yet people still seem to feel they are somehow immune to those effects.

Somehow, I have trouble raising much sympathy for the guy.

Ever hear of cutting off your nose to spite your face ?

You have to admit, it was a pretty unique defense.

Yes your Honor, I was driving 25 miles over the speed limit, but I was trying to ween myself off of reckless driving habits.

Wow, needs to be locked up for a while and get serious. Cocain, meth? Shit, and this too: "In June, Lange was sentenced to four years probation after he pleaded guilty to heroin possession during a traffic stop in 2017"

Wonder if he sneezes hard it has to go out the other end.

He obviously cannot his nose fixed. We need a government program for people like this. Breathing is a right.

Horrible. Poor guy

I got the perfect thing for him.
