Live Poll: Happy 100th Birthday, Supercentenarian Dick Van Dyke!

Intro:Today, December 13, 2025, we celebrate a truly extraordinary milestone - the 100th birthday of Dick Van Dyke! From his early television triumph on The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961), to his unforgettable turn in Mary Poppins (1964) and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), his charm shaped generations. Through decades of laughter and song, he redefined joy in performance. In the golden years of his career, he remained a beacon of optimism, talent, and timeless humor. Now, as a living legend and newly crowned supercentenarian, he stands as a symbol of grace, longevity, and artistic spirit. His wit remains sharp, his smile undimmed, his spirit ever young. You can see it in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014). Happy 100th to a man who made the world dance, laugh, and believe in magic. Which of his roles fascinated you the most? Please discuss it here. For slideshow, please click here.Suggestions:If there is one better, you can suggest it. There are a few minor on the list, I can skip when there's a better one. Please suggest with image. Thank you.List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4157577937/List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4157577937/copyPoll: https://www.imdb.com/poll/aciiDMFmmUqkrm3nUU4LCw/

Breu. Could you delete the "today" from the intro so this can be considered for publication any other day?

Too bad he didn't get his honor on his birthday.

I think it's a little featherbrained to do that 2, or even three days later.

Guys, you had your chance to honor him.

Breu, I'm sorry that we missed this poll for his birthday, but you also had your chance to bump the suggestion the day before. 

I think it would still be nice to honor him with this poll.

@Jessica​ 

I know it wasn't necessary enough for you.

It was more necessary to publish these ones:

https://www.imdb.com/de/poll/QY_WIJCrPbJLXinw9eUIuw/

https://www.imdb.com/de/poll/KGPG5GkZTUDZ-h5UVrjgDA/

I won't change it (!)

You can write the idea yourself. I really don't like how things run at the 

poll board at the moment and even think to leave it. Look at these two polls above.

Another one, a third wasn't good enough. The quality on  the board lowers every month.

I don't have the time or ambition to write interesting polls anymore. You can do whatever you

want with my ideas. Some others surely would like to mess around  with them in their ways.

It's a high five here when broken things got finally fixed. But they didn't have to be repaired in first.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it. It's not fun here anymore. I wrote a line for Jovovich's 50th

birthday, which got censored by the bot. That's what I'm talking about. Here is no free

speech anymore. I don't like it anymore.

Breu,

I said that we missed this poll for his birthday, which only meant that we didn't see your suggestion in time to consider it. It was definitely good enough and as I said, I am sorry that we missed it. 

Also, I had no idea that December 13 was Dick Van Dyke's 100th birthday - it is hard for us to know the birthday of every actor before they happen. 

Whereas, it's easier for you to keep track on which suggestions you have made and bump them in a timely manner.

Scheduling is surely not your superpower.

That also tells me how seriously it’s taken when I point out a 100-year birthday.

The orther three postings in between were privated. Writing backwards now is also canceled.

@Breumaster​ Scheduling is not our superpower, and we don't have any of them. Jessica, me and all the rest are just volunteers, and we do our best to manage polls in our free time. We are not responsible for any Sprinklr or IMDb problems and we have had to deal with them just like you and for months now they have turned our tools to organize somewhat harder.

We can always miss a timely suggestion despite our best efforts and the request to make this small edition was simply because the poll and the homage is worth it.

While it would be a shame, you're free to decline the request, but please don't take out any anger with Sprinklr or the IMDb on us. Just like you, we don't have a voice in them.

You have the voice to pick the polls; which (and when they) go online. 

...

I've changed it. ... This time.

@Breumaster​ Polls requiere at least 24 hours to be published before publishing so all admins get a chance to review them. So polls published on Tuesday where submitted for review at Sunday night (my time) Since at that moment this poll wasn't ready for publication as the requested change wasn't done yet, it couldn't be submitted for consideration.

Asking for any edition is to make sure it is ready prior to submitting it for consideration, it doesn't mean it will be published immediately.

We are five admins and we all need the chance to review polls. Even if I believe it is ready I have to respect everyones opinion and give them the chance to comment.

Supercentarian is usually defined as a person who is 110 years old or older. Van Dyke is a centenarian.
