  • Gilbert Gottfried has Passed. :(

    What a serious damn bummer. I have to admit I didn't like him way back when, but his comedy really grew on me. RIP.

    This fucking sucks, he was hilarious.

    Shortly after moving to NYC, Alison and I were walking around Coney Island. As we walked, we got closer to a guy in dirty sweat pants and a grubby shirt pushing a stroller and I said, not thinking it was that loud, 'Hey, that guy looks like Gilbert Gottfried' and he said 'That's because I am Gilbert Gottfried, how you doin', kids?' (and it definitely was him).

    We said hi, he kept walking, we kept walking. Nothing more to the story than that, but it makes me laugh to think about it.
    Rock! Shock! Pop!

        Kinda wish we'd taken a picture with him or something, but it would have ruined the moment I think.

          I used to watch him on USA Network's "Up All Night" and "The Late Late Movie Movie". He's a funny guy. And I love your story Ian!

            Aw man. He always killed at the Comedy Central roasts. RIP.
            Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

              He was fantastic in them and on Howard Stern.

                Was weird talking about this in a meeting this morning; younger folks all know him as a cartoon voice, who once did a reading of 50 Shades of Gray on youtube that was shocking, and that he made a lot of filthy jokes on one of the Comedy Central roasts.
