The joke was “I have to leave early tonight, I have a flight to California. I can’t get a direct flight, they said I have to stop at the Empire State Building first.”
Lol
Haha
Which is a good joke, to be fair. I have a dark sense of humour so maybe it just doesn't register as offensive to me.
Kathryn Pitt the joke was very soon after it happened, which is why it was so controversial
@@wallywutsizface6346 I get it, that was a few days after the September 11th attacks.
Sitting with a group of fellow Staten Islanders at the waterfront, gazing at smoke pouring out of a blacked out Manhattan skyline, feeling numb at the surreality of what we were seeing, an elderly Jewish woman in the crowd says, "Well, at least the people who didn't pay their rent got lucky." We let out a collective groan, to which she replied, "We could all use a good laugh right now." She is one of my fondest memories of 9/11. Gilbert Gottfried is right. People need to laugh in those situations.
Lol @their families paying rent with one less income
richardvilseck yeah sounds like a typical Staten Island douchebag to me
Lmao that’s wrong but I can’t lie it’s so funny in an evil way hahahahaha that old lady is savage
How did they know he was masturbating ..did they dust for prints?
@@ninam.6997 Well... better than starting a 20 year long war at a cost of 2 trillion dollars, which ended with the same group of assholes in charge of the country.... I guess.
I saw one of Gilbert's shows in Boston years ago when I was working there, and I laughed so hard I almost wet myself. After the show, my wife wanted a T-shirt, and we spotted his kiosk in the lobby; he and his wife were running it. He spoke to us in a normal voice, and they impressed us more than anything as an older Jewish couple, simply content to be in each other's company, he was totally self-effacing when I praised his work. I find the world is a sadder place without him.
Sadder for sure, chokkan7, sadder for sure.
Great story. He was a class act… and F’in hilarious.
what was his normal voice?
@@MrJ0llyJust look up the video where he leaves a voicemail or something, and it’s his normal voice. It’s insane.
why include the "jewish" part? how important is it to this story?
You'll be in our hearts forever. My heart goes out to all of his family. R.I.P Gilbert ❤😔
another great comedian and entertainer gone. One great unique individual.
@@eolsunder Ikr. Hope u have a good day bro!
He was not only a great entertainer but, a great person as well.
Will miss him dearly along with all the great comedians, Rest In Peace 🌹
Awesome Drip Goku.
Reminds me of that trsgedy
Gilbert narrating is the only way i can tolerate 50 Shades Of Grey
Faf
MY CLITORIS!!!!!!!
That or Charles Dance lol
For real
Yeah, agreed - they should re Brand and re Market that.
Gilbert narrating. 50 Shades of Gilbert.
I’m always smiling when Gilbert talks because I never know if he’s actually performing or just actually talking 😂
His real voice is scary to listen to
@@thecroakedtoaster3398 his real voice is pretty normal sounding.
@@KSE828 it is actually
@@KSE828 Exactly, very soft spoken.
That is his show voice. I once bumped into him on the street. He’s talked “normal.”
Gilbert was the greatest, he’ll be sorely missed by all. R.I.P
Heroic and brave very much like Norm - respect to both Famz and
of course The Saget's.
His take on the Aristocrats joke was by far the best. Had I suffered a great deal and heard this joke I am sure I would have fell off my seat laughing. Comedy is a funny thing...
Bob Saget gave him a run for his money on it, though. RIP Bob Saget.
That bit about him being a 12 year old Al Capone if masturbation was illegal had me in stitches. Dusting his right hand for prints and crushing the dust into a diamond lmfao
That's hilarious, but Gottfried had a million of them.
RIP, Gilbert. Proof that actions are more important than words. You can be offensive but also a kind person irl.
That makes no sense at all
That PeeWee Herman joke was gold! I'll never forget it and anytime I tell it I do in Gilbert's raspy voice! Hilarious! A fine man gone way too soon. Sympathies and condolences to family, friends and fans...
"By age 12, I was already Al Capone!" I-
Gilbert Gottfried and Norm Macdonald. Funniest guys alive
Lmao Gilbert is NOT on Norm's level.
Norm is genuinely one of the greatest comic minds of all time.
We may disagree as to who are the funniest, by by far Norm and Gilbert tell the most intelligent jokes out there
I respect Gilbert but it’s something about his act that is off putting, proll the annoying voice😂
I've been at funerals that were funnier than Norm.
@@alphamale1228 well, when you want to be really funny, you need to think... what would make Seth Meyers laugh..
If his son actually said that joke and came up with it all on his own then his son is probably going to become the best roaster of all time.
Is his son performing now? Sounds like another comic genius in waiting.
I've heard him talk about the 'too soon' and should he have paused longer during the 9/11 joke many times and It is still funny! Legend!
"...And I thought yeah I'm really gonna beat him for this..."
*Nervous laughter*
OMG he sounds just like Jared Kushner
I know, right?!
Haha! Brilliant!
underrated comment lmao
LMAO I watched that clip so many times! It never gets old!
K. Y. Listening to Kushner's real voice makes me wish his voice was really like Gilberts.
I'm so thankful for the people who keep all of his old Howard Stern appearances on RUclips, they're comedy gold
The one where he's trying to win over Beetlejuice is hilarious. Someone must've told the Beet he was gay and it makes for a wonderful awkwardness.
Well.. if you told me 15 years ago that Gilbert's career would end as a special episode of Hoarders.. I dunno that I'd have a counter argument.
Hearing him in his SNL days is...jarring
The first time I knew about Gilbert Gottfried was in both Problem Child 1 and 2, funny ass films…not to mention John Ritter! At first, his voice annoyed me, then his voice became beloved due to his character named Digit on Cyber Chase. My son loves Cyber Chase, thanks to PBS! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 We will miss you Digit! We will watch you forever! ☮️☯️🌈🕊
I'm a simple man, I see Gilbert Gottfried, I hit like.
Isaac me too.
"That's sort of a filthy joke."
Sort of filthy? If anyone asks you to tell them a dirty joke, tell them the Aristocrats joke. They will never ask to hear another dirty joke again. 😂
Possibly THE dirtiest joke of all time. Certainly, the dirtiest joke I ever heard.
If someone asks you to say grace at Easter Dinner, start by saying "a family walks into the office of a talent agent and the agent asks them what their act consists of." If Grandpa doesn't immediately yell 'AMEN! Who wants honey glazed ham?' continue until he does. You will never have to say grace again.
3:41 If I saw that giant void in the table, I wouldn't be able to resist it either.
We all just want to laugh. He was so right and he made all of us laugh. RIP to a legend
Not really
Ever since i was a boy and he was a parrot, i've always found his voice incredibly calming. He'll be making people laugh for as long as there's people.
Especially he is a best of certain pommie toucan.
Bruh most people seem to hate the voice, but when he does the more subtle version, I could listen to him talk for hours. I love the accent. Too bad it's dying out.
Especially when that parrot is synched to the Aristocrats joke! 😂😂😂😂😂 May be the funniest thing I ever saw on youtube. Literally.
His voice sounds like he always talks with one eye closed
David he almost does
Like we could close our eyes and imagine Iago or Digit actually speaking when the actual guy would speak in real life! I'm here because apparently he died at 67 after a long illness I had no idea about.
Both eyes closed all the time early in his career.
He played in 100 ways to die in the west with Seth MacFarlane and I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣
someone once stopped me in nyc and told me I looked like Gilbert (who'd
just been hired for SNL circa 1980). Same wild 'fro we both gave up on. Thanks
for always going-hard, Gilbert - adding so much to the Stern show.
Everything/anything else. World lost a true Statesman.
Gilbert was a genius. I will miss his mind. A very smart smart man. One of the few guys I would have like to hang with.
It took a long time for Gilbert Gottfried to grow on me, but I am now a big fan. He is like Beavis and Butthead. He is a classic act.
This isn’t funny my uncle died in the 911 attacks
Best pilot Saudi Arabia had ever seen
You get the win, Habib!
I want to steal this joke from you so bad but I know I’ll never get the chance in normal conversation
Hahahahaha
Good
Haroldinho PC...i feel for you. My grandfather died in a concentration camp in WW2 when he fell out of a guard tower.
If he's not Iago in the live-action Aladdin, Imma protest
yes he is! he's reprising Iago in the new Aladdin, I just looked it up. his voice is just too iconic and I really don't know who else can play Iago like he did.
John Oliver is voicing Iago in the new Aladdin
@@nikola2811 Okay that's an underrated joke!
......welp!
"You can put a charcoal into my right hand, and I'll turn it into a daimond" slayed me
RIP TO A LEGEND🙏🏼🙏🏼
I always new this guy and thought he really was not that funny but getting older and hearing him just be himself, made me realize how talented he really is.I didn’t even know about that aristocrat joke til today and it was perfect.
His comedy act is as far away as it can get from who he really was.
The Aristocrats had me in stitches.
Gonna miss Gilbert tremendously,not the voice for everyone but his comedy was just unmatched. RIP good sir
I didn't know Iago was going to be on!
Don't make him mad, he'll start molting.
Comedy is one of the best anti-depressants.
I am so sorry to hear about his passing Rip Mr.Gottfried LT from Compton Ca
9/11.
Reminds me of that national tragedy.
what?
@@classymxlti6908 look up Macdonald 9/11 joke
What a terrible name for an airline.
That's tasteless dude. Next time you are about to write such a nasty comment ask your self this. " What would Seth Meyers do?"
I had to get new pants because of the blood and the bones
Gilbert just has to inhale and I'm in stitches ...
Sometimes comedy becomes Art and Gottfrieds roast of joan rivers WAS ART. My favourite comedians are Richard Prior, Billy Connoly and Dave Allen but that one roast was the funniest thing I've heard. I will sorely miss his humour
always irreverent and hilarious...thank you for all the laughs Gilbert RIP...❤
Lol dude just the way he speaks makes me laugh 😂😂
Gilbert, next time you are in an awkward situation just ask yourself. "What would Seth Meyers do?"
Who know Gilbert had such incredible hands?? Lmao
the man that never broke character, that was never his real voice LOL
I am still amazed at the fact that this guy's voice is his actual voice...
It's funny how the majority of people believe that. It was put-on as part of his comedy act.
If one good thing came from his passing, it's all the extra space his family gained by donating his mountains of hotel soap and expired crackers to the Gilbert Gottfried Memorial Dumpster.
RIP buddy.
Did this guy voice the parrot in Aladdin?
Qasid Bhatti yeeeesss.
He voiced Digit in Cyberchase
He also did Fred Fuchs in angry video game nerd
Yes.
Did Qasid ever use Google to find out the answer to his question?
Gilbert is a real person. Really funny.
One of a kind. RiP.
Gottfried looks exactly like NPR radio host Terry Gross.
just discovered him and loving it
Fwiw, I don't think people get Gilbert Gottfried. Tbh, it took me some years to catch up to what he was doing. I used to do his "is this thing on!?!" all the time when I was younger. But watching him now I realize there's an underlying level of satire to all the work he is doing, and he needed the "is this thing on" to clue audiences in to the fact that they weren't quite at his level yet. Every set I have seen him do, he is almost deconstructing humor: the funny part of his act is not the punchline. He's almost asking us what makes us laugh and why. Is 9-11 funny? Why or why not? Is a joke about incest or Pee Wee Herman masturbating funny? Why or why not? And like all good artists, he doesn't answer the question for you, you have to decide what you think. He's just helping you ask the question.
Now Gottfried will be roasting in Hell for all of his Aflac commercials.
Oh my fucking gosh is that the voice of the parrot in Aladdin???
ally dawes Duh, yes!
ally dawes that is indeed Iago
ally dawes how old are you?? Haha
How is it possible to not know that?
When did you wake up from the coma :o
Miss him so very much. Gilbert your legions of fans worldwide love, and will forever ❤
I owe the scar near my left eyebrow to Gilbert!
The good ole days when we worked the art file room at LKP International in Manhattan, NY .....Gilbert left the top file draw open, I was putting something back in the bottom draw, next thing I know, I'm gushing blood ....Boy, how Gilbert used to make me laugh😉
A Hurtig - jeez, sorry dude
I love you Gil. May your spirit travel peacefully.
Miss you already Gilbert ❤️
He told a tsunami joke after the Japan tsunami. It’s his M.O. and it’s hilarious.
Of course THIS is trending. Rest In Peace brother, much love to you
GILBERT pushed the boundaries for comedians everywhere.
Despite Seth's best effort to neuter Gilbert's comedy, Gilbert stayed Gilbert.
Gilbert, we love you. God bless RIP 🙏
Shaking each other's hands after talking about that is a power move.
Stand up takes courage in and of itself, but to do what he did was on another level
I remember 'Up All Night' being my first taste of Gill.
He would be screaming in his gravelly voice. Killed my buzz and made me laugh all at once.
I'm getting an ad on the right for a movie called "The Aristocrats". Given the nature of the joke, I don't know if I want to publicly admit that I'm interested in watching that several times over in one day.
The irony that it was a GEICO ad that played before this is not lost on me today. RIP Gilbert.
Will he be in the Aladdin Live action film, coming out in 2019?
uh
I saw the Aristocrats documentary years ago, and I am still utterly confused.
I am perplexed even.
What did that crazy story have to do with Walt Disney’s cartoon classic from the 1970s?
Lol
Hah
Heeehee
Har Har.
Damn, he was hilarious.
whoa whoa whoa, Gilbert Gottfried's a hoarder?
Also, I love how his "crushing charcoal to diamond" joke doesn't veer off chemistry.
For those wondering, here is the 9/11 joke: Sorry folks I can't stay, I got a flight back to LA. I couldn't get a direct flight though, we have to stop off at the Empire State Building.
The best way to go trough tragedy is doing it trough laugh.
Fun fact: Gilbert Gottfried started out as a mime with Ethyl Mermon.
Don't show the Cyberchase kids any of Digit's jokes. I love Gilbert Gottfried.
RIP you beautiful man.
gilbert is the zen master of delivery
You know that's so true and some of the worst of times all you kind of need to do is laugh life's a ride man
I miss him already
I’d love to see this joke’s reaction live!
oh boi fukin love you gilbert
When I think documentary, I think Gilbert. When I thought about it more, when I think documentary, I think Seth Meyers.
Funny he said "anything i can get for free"
That was the joke he used on Greg giraldo🤣🤣
"Thank God it stayed out of the paper. And the internet." No Gilbert, the internet laughed.
amazing guy. go, gilbert! don't you dare to die before me
Are you still with us?
Hilarious 😆. Keeps everything.,...and stockpiles stuff !!!!!
"I'm offended" seems perfectly in line with ROFL level humor. Depends who you are
isn't he the guy from that Jon Travolta movie with the talking babies?
Yeah pretty sure he's in that
The sanitary napkin joke aged like wine.
Rest in peace Gilbert!!
Weird without the voice
thank you
When I think of funny I always thinks "what would Seth Meyers Do?"
I miss him so damn much.
