Ironically Gilbert Gottfried tweeted this pic in January after Bob Saget and Louie Anderson died. Photo is even sadder now! All three of these guys have died in 2022 and it ain't but April 14th.



RIP Gilbert. Weird to think I would miss that obnoxious, nails-on-a-chalkboard voice but come to think of it I guess I kind of will.

Yep... he could be hilarious.

Side note - he and his wife were on an episode of 'Flea Market Flip' on HGTV.
Even in a relaxed setting his brain was still in a very funny, weird place.

Sorry for their families but I wouldn't pay .10C to watch any of them perform.

IMO, Gilbert WAS NOT good comedy...just sayin...
:rolleyes: Chiming in on an RIP thread to say you didn't like the guy makes me doubt your expertise on "good comedy." Who is someone you think is funny?

Johnathan Winters, Tim Conway, Robin Williams, Jeff Dunham to name a few.

However, I never claimed to be an expert on good comedy. Simply stated that I don't thing Gilbert is funny at all. What you think is funny doesn't necessarily translate to humor to anyone else... ;)

I listened to a little of Bob Saget's humor after he left Full House.
I'm sure he was funny in certain circles, but after seeing him on that show for that long, it was just odd to hear what would come out of his mouth.
Sort of a cognitive dissonant type of reaction.

Didn't really follow the others too closely either, except for Norm.
And even then - it was just short clips from some of his stand up or talk show interviews.

I fall more into the Jim Gaffigan / Brian Regan camp.
