RIP Gilbert Godfried

“Too soon.”

The phrase followed Gilbert Gottfried, the stand-up comedian who died Tuesday at 67, for much of his career. For anyone who only knew him for his croaky squawk, or as Iago, the chatty parrot in the 1992 animated version of “Aladdin,” or as the duck from the Aflac commercials — “AFLAC!” — his stand-up probably felt like a punch in the jaw.

Much like Bob Saget, his friend and fellow comic also gone too soon, Gottfried was largely known for family-friendly entertainment while his comedy knew no boundaries. (Or, rather, it knew them and took a running leap past them.) WP

Bummer! A funny man.

I last saw him in a vid were they interviewed prominent Jews about the Holocaust.

He said (from memory) (read it in his voice) 'There was a HOLOCAUST? Why didn't anyone tell me.'

His roast of Takei is .. interesting

Never watched much TeeVee, so not very familiar with him. Someone shared this on FB. He had a quick mind! Funny stuff.
