Oh, this makes me sad. He had just the right combination of annoying and total goofball.

One of the best, grossest interpretations of the Aristocrats joke ever.

I became a fan back in the '80âs when he was the Saturday host of USA Networkâs Up All Night which would show some absolutely terrible movies and he had the best jokes about them. Sometimes Iâd sit through the movies and sometimes Iâd tape them and the next morning fast forward to Gottfriedâs segments.
A few years ago my neighbor and I were talking and, I donât remember why, but he said, âI hate Gilbert Gottfried,â and that caused me to launch into a five-minute impersonation, quoting some of Gottfriedâs own jokes, to which my neighbor said, âOkay, yeah, heâs pretty funny.â

I tired to find a clip of his standup but I couldnât find anything that wouldnât get me booted out of here so Iâll go with Aflac and the super cut of Iago. Aladdin was our daughterâs favorite movie of the time, we saw many times in the theater and when the video came out is was worn out pretty quickly.
If you have the stomach for it, or no fear of hell, the George Takei Friars Club Roast is Gilbert at his finest or his ticket to hell.

As long as itâs not racist or misogynist, and has a NSFW tag, most stuff is fine to post.

Thatâs the thing, itâs Gilbert Gottfried, most of his stuff is all of those things.
Even the George Takei roast, with George being on board, makes you uncomfortable.

I bet many UK TV viewers would recognise his face, even if they didnât know his name. Another one of the many wonderful UK TV character actors of the past several decades.
I remember him best as leader of the Timson tribe of career petty criminals Rumpole regularly defended in Rumpole of the Bailey.

This was my favorite, from âThe Stake-Outâ:
Jerry: What else did she say on the phone?
Helen: Whatever I wrote down.
Jerry: Yeah, but what was the tone in her voice? How did she sound?
Helen: Who am I, Rich Little?

Weirdest quote from this whole weird Obit [emphasis mine]:
Robertsonâs husband was interested in politics until he found religion, she told The Associated Press in 1987. He stunned her by pouring out their liquor, tearing a nude print off the wall and declaring he had found the Lord.
TIL that Pat Robertson, before he âfound Jesusâ had a nude print on his wall.
