He wrote an intro to a Mad magazine compendium that includes the sentence "Now I am a parrot." So true.

what a horribly formed "joke"

<tiniest font ever> one of those made me laugh a little bit.

yeaaaahhhhhh... he's not gonna recover from this. and the commercials were becoming tedious anyway - i'm not going to miss him.

Those jokes are great!

very much in character

gottfried couldnt be reached for comment, but this was his reaction when he heard the news:

guys, he's been saying horrible stuff for years and years. he'll be fine.

He was like the only guy making 9/11 jokes in the month of September, hes p much a hero

I think the diff w/ 9/11 is he's not Japanese, so...

Who gives a fuck. A good joke's a good joke.

also, i really don't recall his 9/11 jokes being told publicly in September '01. Did the Friars Club footage get out before The Aristocrats?

but those are 'good' BAD jokes

xp

Will they let him keep his job as a smoke detector?

lol

Who gives a fuck. A good joke's a good joke.

PrincessTamTam can fuck off and die now, thanks. Piece of worthless shit. Good job trollin'. Hope your family gets wiped out by a tsunami.

So sick of this ironic distance or whatever the fuck it is that tolerates people joking about tens of thousands of people dying. No excuse.

I just read about this morning. I'd love to get inside Gilbert Gottfried's mind: "My career's going well, I'm universally loved--now would be a good time to fire off some national-disaster jokes."

Who gives a fuck. A good joke's a good joke.

I am pretty sure that guy has realized he's not universally loved by now. the jokes were stupid and distasteful but on a certain level I think it's better to just ignore people who do this rather than make it a national news story instead of making it into a game about how offended / morally superior we are.

Er replace 'instead of ' with 'and'

n/a, i'd love to come back to that with a zing, but none of your worthless jerkoff piss-dribble posts have ever made enough impact on me to register? who are you?

Someone who's been here a lot longer than you have, for a start.

Sorry guys for being too cuddly to not find this disaster funny.

guys, i'm not trying to make some value judgement on whether zing crew or cuddle crew is BETTER, I'm just saying those posts are a good visualization of two rising board trends

and everyone else is saying "whogivesashit.jpg"

I watched that live at the age of 15 and holy shit did it blow my mind. Was he the first comedian ballsy enough to try a 9/11 joke?

Frogbs, did you not see 'the Aristocrats'?

What a career this guy has had.

I saw Joan Rivers do 9/11 jokes right after the event, in midtown Manhattan. They were really gross jokes too, but not far out of line with the rest of her act.

Watching that Emmy footage, it's insane to think of him as like, this outre legend spending the last 20 years racking up amazing Stern appearances, headline-making dirty jokes, roast appearances, podcasts etc... and meanwhile he's had like a whole other 20-year career as like a mainstream character actor, Disney cartoon, SNL cast member, cable TV host...

on Sesame Street as Denny the Distractor

Huge content warning on this, but

It's wild to watch this because now that Gilbert and Norm are gone (and, before them, Joan and Rickles), I think this entire style of humor is probably gone with it, a style where you could do 10 minutes of the most offensive joke imaginable and then defuse it by just your personality, a kind of academic deference to the source material and a sense of being "in" on something. The Schumer/Lampanelli/Jeselnik axis def veers more towards "edgelord" than this. Ross is close, I guess, but he's way less subtle. Note how everyone laughs at the set-ups like "here it comes." I suppose an argument could be made about how it's probably for the best that these types of jokes are going to die, but it still feels like we're losing a piece of history

Like Norm and Gilbert were probably the only guys that could still kill exclusively with material that was no newer than 75 years old

wow that sesame street clip is an accurate depiction of the inside of my head

also... i lol'd mightily at that roast clip. probably the funniest parts were gottfried attempting to explain the really illogical jokes

Feeling so sad that with GG’s passing we’ll never know for sure what kind of citrus fruit Cesar Romero had his boys fling at him… and we’ll never get a clear view of what was happening on Danny Thomas’s coffee table.
