The Iago-only cut of Aladdin:

Also, this old clip just became more awkward:

Wtf. What happened???!!!

*blindturtle02* · 04-12-2022, 02:57 PM

Aw jeez, another legend lost this year? Loved that guy.

According to WaPo, muscular dystrophy claimed Gottfried.

Howard Stern had Gilbert on the show some years ago. Heads up for the peeps that don't like curse words: avoid this video.

This came really unexpectedly. One comedic personality that really stood out, that we all recognized, going to feel really different without. We will keep laughing Gilbert's honor, and, Gilbert, may you make God and everyone in heaven laugh too.

*IndigoErth* · 04-12-2022, 04:00 PM

Aw, well damn. Even if I found him sort of annoying at times, that's still sad to lose such a unique personality.

*MikeandRaph87* · 04-12-2022, 04:05 PM

I just saw it on Newsbreak. Quite the underrated comedian. I appreciated his brand and his go at Iago and the perfect Mr Mxzyzptlk. I don't recall any mention of a long illness when he publicly spoke about Bob Saget a couple of months back. Bob's podcast is becoming errie with Louie Anderson, Norm MacDonald, and Gilbert Gottfried.

And he played Kraang Sub-prime in the Nick 2012 show too, he did great for us TMNT fans. Of course most of us likely grew up with him as Iago from Aladdin.

Why is everyone dying, especially only in their 60's.

What is going on, stop dying everyone, stop dying!

He fit so very well in to TMNT too. Casting him as Kraang Sub-prime was just brilliant. He was also my favorite Mr. Mxyzptlk.

the picture of him in the hospital before he passed looked optimistic:

He will be missed.

I remember a pop tarts commercial from the mid 90’s where he played a talking toaster that was covered by a chicken cover. I also remember him as the Aladdin bird, Saved By The Bell 1994 film wedding guy, Dr. Bender/his son Wendell (Fairly Oddparents) and of course Kraang Subprime.

Awesome guy!

RIP Gilbert Gottfried

Was going to watch some Aladdin episodes on Disney Plus, but the Aladdin series isn't on it, just the movies. Very strange.

Oh yeah, the talking toaster! I'd forgotten about that commercial. My kid sister used to love that one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgRCjXEZR-k

This is a pretty good tribute to Gilbert Gottfried.

*Coola Yagami* · 04-20-2022, 08:37 AM

My first exposure to him was him playing a villain called Knick Knack on the old Superboy show, which looking back, was some different version of Toyman. Like, IDK, maybe they couldn't get the rights to the name Toyman or something, but it was the exact same gimmick. He was in two episodes I believe, the second one way darker than the first.

But yeah, it took a few years before I actually learned the guy's name. Before then any time he'd pop up somewhere, my bro and I would refer to him as 'the Knick Knack guy'.

I also remember for a while there on Law and Order SVU he was like their computer guy. Like I guess the guy they would go to whenever they needed someone to look things up or deal with hacking or enhancing images, whatever, and he would usually say random stuff to make the detectives make some sort of 'this guy's nuts' reaction.

~~Leo656~~ · 04-20-2022, 03:25 PM

He also guest-wrote an issue of the tie-in "Adventures of Superboy" comic book, where Superboy once again fought Knicknack - and to the villain's chagrin, people would constantly comment on his resemblance to Gilbert Gottfried.

"How dare they compare me to that no-talent hack?! He isn't even funny! He only knows ONE joke... Which he screams! And repeats! ...And repeats!"

Very funny and self-aware bit from Gilbert which most people probably have never seen or heard of.
