Default Cheap Jew Gilbert Gottfried has died at 67

Before you say anything he would love that title. Such a funny funny man. RIP

Oh man, that's terrible news. He was so hilarious and I loved his appearances on Howard Stern (among other things). RIP

That's sad. Pretty sure he and Bob Saget were close, as they were with Norm MacDonald too. Such a coincidence that all three died relatively close together.

Probably asking for trouble by posting this, but there's really no other way to pay tribute to the man.

(NSFW on SO many levels)

man... another high profile comedian.
I could never get into his stand up cause his voice was so annoying but he was perfectly casted for the voice of Iago the Parrot

RIP Gottfried

He had a normal voice in his private life, which is kinda crazy

They should have told him how much the funeral would cost, he would have held on for a few more years.

Loved his appearances on Opie & Anthony and later Jim & Sam, they would get deep into his pilfering from hotels and general cheapness, actually made him uncomfortable with sex talk also.

did you follow him or his comedy? he would love it

This is the guy who lost millions of dollars and the easiest job in the world because he couldn't refrain from making a tsunami joke about the Japan when asked not to

"Japan is really advanced. They don’t go to the beach. The beach comes to them" lol

A true pioneer of being cancelled. Every time a major world event happened, Gilbert would lose all his corporate sponsors because would immediately start making vulgar jokes about it.

But it’s true. He’s notoriously cheap.

Ok, obviously that’s not the word you have an issue with. If it were anyone else I’d be offended right with you. He crossed every line he ever saw and I adored him.

The mods can change it obviously.
