Gilbert Gottfried: Remembering 9-11 Tragedy + Time = Comedy. The FULL Interview.

[@lindaackerman3507]

I met him at a comedy club in Hollywood, California in the early 80's a, after he finished his routine, I asked him for his autograph and he was gracious enough to give me it, I remember his voice being very normal but that was so long ago, r.i.p. Gilbert Gottfried, you are a comic legend.❤❤

[@pete6705]

The best comedic bird/duck voice of all time. He also made me laugh uncontrollably on the Howard Stern show. RIP sweet Gilbert

[@40ounce58]

I’ll never forget the Empire State Building joke. I’m sorry, but I started laughing when he said it. I was sad,but I had to laugh. It was a type of therapy.

[@wolfeyeforever]

Glad we got this interview. Gilbert stayed true to himself to the end. Rest In Peace, legend.

[@maryann2573]

Rest in peace Gilbert, Thank you for sharing your comedy talent with us.

[@cadence4527]

Comedy is a coping mechanism. It’s not a sign of insensitivity, but a sign of sensitivity. Yes, something bad has happened, we’ve lost people we love, but they wouldn’t want us to fall so far into darkness that we cannot see the light of their love. Comedy and comedians set us free from our depression and our grief. No comedian should ever have to apologize for their gift and their talent to bring back the light.

[@mistergrandpasbakery9941]

This man has the quirkiest comedy in the business. He's one of my favorites!! But in the same breath I'll say that folks need to leave him alone and let him do his thing!

Gilbert: Doesn't scream Everyone: iS tHaT hIs ReAl VoIcE

[@pine1780]

He actually does fake the voice though lmao, is old SNL Sketches you can hear is normal voice, and he didn't squint. Its actually proven lol.

[@sylviaorgan9066]

wow. Thanks for getting this on tape.

[@carmineredpigment]

I feel like even though we’ve heard his real voice on SNL when he was young, he’s been doing that voice for so long that it’s started to become how he actually talks

[@TVwriter23]

I think it's him staying in character, but less exaggerated.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

There was a time when he called Gary at The Howard Stern Show because he was sick in the hospital with appendicitis or something. He thought he was going die and left a voicemail using his real voice -- it blew everyone on the show away... so they actually played it on the show. That was the first time I heard it, and it's even more tame than this.

[@Pianorockstar_]

I know of Gilbert because he voiced jafar's parakeet. Gilbert gottfried is the voice of comedy for generations, 1st video I've seen of Gilbert had me laughing. His jokes will live on, R.I.P Gilbert

[@luckytrader8551]

We have lost to many comedians this year. When we need laughter more than ever before in 2022. RIP GILBERT GOTFRIED .

[@davezorc]

This is his less-annoying version of his fake voice.

[@joecraven2712]

And it’s still quite annoying.

[@aaronbruceladner1983]

Gilbert's Voice isn't Annoying at All!

[@filmgeekstudios4393]

No, it's his actual voice. They did a sketch on the Howard Stern show showing his "real" voice, but that was a bit. This is just him. When he does cartoons he yells. In neither of these scenarios is he using a fake voice.

[@TheModShopCO]

​@@filmgeekstudios4393 I'm still not too sure, I believe this is a less exaggerated fake voice. Look up the Pillow Pets SNL skit and a few others he did back in the day and some of his old stand up.

[@SaltyD3plorable]

@@TheModShopCO I agree 100%

[@marshallvosteen2674]

RIP Gilbert Gottfried We will miss your jokes and your voice. You were very unique and hilarious man.

[@macycharmin]

I'd have to be truthful that i was not a fan of Gilbert, but this was a really good interview. He was spot on reguarding how comedy and tragedy closely intersect.

[@tr7198]

The comedic mind is a sarcastic approach to pain whether its emotional or any other kind of pain. The idea to try to get a healing inner response of laughter. Pain is dulled by laughter.

[@falconApoda]

16:10 While at a funeral for my best friend's mother (who was also like a mother to me), I was enslisted at the last minute as a pall bearer. About 30 seconds after we all grabbed a handle on either side of the casket, someone muttered, "Okay, who's not lifting?" A minute later, we were cracking wise about how the hearse was parked so far from the door. We needed that. RIP, Gilbert.

[@ChakasCave]

I met Gilbert. Dude is sooo nice, very short. A living legend. Wish I had met bob saget before he passed.

[@ruhtraeel]

Unfortunately no longer living )-:

[@A-hurt-one]

I wish I could have met them.

[@nathanforester5993]

It sounds exactly like he usually is and like on his podcast, it's not much of a change. I am pretty sure he has spoken in this voice when he appears as himself in just about anything.

[@GamerGamer-ok6wu]

again not a real voice btw

[@user-vg2eg7oo5n]

Gilbert's voice on SNL was his "before" voice. His voice on early Letterman, you can see the development. His range of voices in different impressions was wide. There's one of him doing Emo Philips on Alan Havey show, that I just saw. Him doing Jay Leno as Godzilla can be found on a clip of Jay teaching Gilbert how to drive a Ferrari. On his podcast, Gilbert mentioned how it was Jay making fun of him.

[@1f5sda]

RIP Gilbert, thanks for the laughs!

[@randomgod8185]

Except this is isn't his real voice, not yet. There's a phone message Howard Stern played with Gilbert's "real" voice. Its exceptionally monotone and morose-sounding.

[@rkvclaw21]

[@fargracingco.3135]

that’s a hoax. This is his real voice. It’s just his accent and he wants it more raspy and harsh when he does the fake voice

[@fargracingco.3135]

not that i know for sure but that would be really easy to do

[@Pheminon1]

That video is 100% fake

[@filmgeekstudios4393]

Yeah, that was a joke. If I'm not mistaken, Gilbert was even in-studio laughing at the supposedly "real" voice. I'm annoyed that Howard Stern tricked so many people with that nonsense.

[@MrBigangry]

God bless this man. A pure legend.

[@trunkmonkey9417]

Following tragedy with comedy is healthy coping with something that is terrifying, and horrible for people to endure. And the use of the joke permits people to bring up the happening, in a safe manner, that all present can relate. Some may think his (and others who do similar) 9-11 joke was in poor taste, crass or inconsiderate, do not realize, like a surgeon who exposes and removes a cancer or deep infection, is a necessary healing action, and he was bold and courageous to step out in front of the fear of not saying it. The proof is the reaction to "The Aristocrats" joke.
