RIP Gilbert Gottfried

Another one gone. He was 67, and very ill. I don't know if his voice was an act, but it was unique, silly, and iconic.

On a scale of one to ten, he was an eleven.  :heart

He was such a huge part of my childhood. Memorable roles in so many movies and tv shoes.

Seemed like a really nice guy. Sad to see him go.

That's a bummer.  Here's a video of him, last November, reading the quotes from a post-game interview from Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk regarding him being bitten on the hand by Brendan Lemieux in a fight during a Kings/Senators game since someone paid Gottfried a Cameo to read the quotes.

That's too bad.  RIP
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Gilbert, because of his schtick, was one of those guys for me that was either HILARIOUS, or tedious, there was no in between.  The good thing is the "HILARIOUS" far outnumbered the "tedious".

Heard he was privately battling a sickness for a while.  May he rest in peace.

My personal favorite Gilbert Gottfried moment.

Was never really a fan.  Voice kinda got on my nerves, but I did like his bit in Beverly Hills Cop II.  Hilarious!  RIP

This is my favorite stand up routine he has.

Greg Giraldo to him at a roast: "You look like you smell like pee."

I didn't care much for his schtick; to steal from Stadler, for me it was much more often tedious than hilarious, but I will give it up to him for making a solid career out of it.

My favorite line that I've seen since he passed is someone saying that he went out as he lived, with people yelling "Too Soon"

Yeah, that's an absolute classic bit

This was another clip that went around a lot after the news broke, a bit nicer (though still pretty funny)
