Imagine you step in front of a national audience with a felon on one side of you, a famous talk show host who's a comedian and actor and you spontaneously take over the show and without exception get them, the show staff and the audience to continually start laughing nonstop with an unrehearsed improvisation. Gilbert does that habitually. Personal Addition: April 20, 2022 I am going to miss Gilbert. Been a week or so since he passed. I didn't want to think about his death, so I've distracted myself by other means. But to think I'll never hear him again, his great talent with new material is very sad. My only consolation is my belief that life never dies, that we've always been a Cosmos of conscious entities. Meaning one day I'll find the spirit and life force of Gilbert and enjoy him again. Till then, my spirit is Earth bound.
I always loved Gilbert and it’s times like this that I really appreciate You Tube and the people that take time to post these wonderful clips. In the last week I’ve seen more incredible Gilbert clips and I’m going to watch the 2017 Gilbert documentary.
@RN Anderson not debating anything here with ya. Just my opinion. Matter is energy. Heaven & Hell is what you make this life that we're aware of. Right now, in this moment; every one before this point in time, during it & after. Heaven and hell are what you make of your life and time. We may only get one go round at it in this form of recollection and remembrance. Make it a good one. .
There's no heaven or hell unless you create it on Earth for yourself. That would be like believing Superman has a crystal palace near the North Pole. It's like believing The River of Death has a rowboat for a ferry. It's like believing Santa on cold winter nights has never once landed in a fire and burned hiss ass off. It's like believing Joe Biden has any independent will power and isn't taking orders from George Soros. It's like believing Roseann Arnold is one of the best National Anthem singers ever. It's like believing Will Smith and his hairless dog have a good marriage and it won't end up being like another Simpson incident. Sorry Will. Don't existentially slap me. It's like believing Hip Hop is a dance usually done by those who received a high school diploma. It's like believing Whoopi Goldberg was unbiased even when she's on the Oscars Board Misdirectors composed of socially politically correct minority celebs. It's like believing Putin is a totally sane leader and the Russian people aren't scared crapless. It's like believing Ukraine is a totally innocent country and never caused grief or terror on others.
@@joshspicey9043 OK, but why are almost all of them named "Jimmy"? They're constantly whining about "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion", yet their entire industry is white guys named "Jimmy".
Roc talked about going to prison and doing about seven years and coming out to become an accomplished actor, his sitcom was very good, he did great in the Mississippi lynching movie with Sam Jackson where he plays a country sheriff, Matthew McConaughey plays the lawyer representing Sam Jackson.
Comedy is supposed to be crude, because its always a satirical point of view ... its also a display that you can talk about things we already know as a society, but are too afraid to really say what we truly feel because of fear of backlash, especially in todays world. You will never again have the type of comedy we had back in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Sure people can be funny still, but the essence of it is slowly fading. Wanna see crude? Watch Gilbert Roast George Takei for being gay... It was off the wall , side splitting hilarious.. and the truth is, in todays world. it would be severely offensive, but in that time , people laughed at the jokes even if they were the target.
With the exception of John Candy and Rodney Dangerfield, no other comedian could make me laugh like Gilbert Gottfried. I'm still having a hard time accepting that he's passed away. RIP Gilbert.
6:05 Arsenio , Were gonna take a commercial... Gilbert says, Wait I dont think I wanna go off the air ... You know thats classic when Arsenio has to get up and walk , knowing one of the best lines has just been dropped :D
Well, I'm pretty sure that Disney's wholesome image has been shattered by now. Of course, this was the 1990's so most people probably didn't have a clue about Disney's true colors back then.
His name is Charles S. Dutton, his show was called Roc (wikipedia mentions it was a nickname, but as someone who grew up in this era, he was just referred to in movies as Charles S. Dutton).
Man when I was in the hospital I watched this clipped the day my friend told me he died.... I was cracking up in pain but it was worth it.... RIP Gilbert
Oh man! Problem child era Gilbert would have been so great in a movie about him in prison. I imagine him skittering away a lot like he did at the beginning.
Real comedians say the obvious that most people are afraid to say. RIP Gilbert we love you and miss you. Please give our best to Norm and Bob and all of you will never be missed.
I loved Robin Williams, but Gilbert was more like a racier version of Groucho Marx. Both Gilbert and Groucho consistently had quips which were more relevant and tended to contain a higher comedic value.
@ronnie9807 Your analysis is spot on. Robin had great energy, but both Groucho and Gilbert could consistently come up with lines that had more substance.
amazing how scoiety can elevate celebs to certain levels even though they have been in prison, and i love Gilbert for calling it like it is..good for him..such a shame noone does that anymore among celebs..or very few and when they do people try to get them cancelled quick as a whip......."he might have gotten bitten by a parrot once...leave him alone" wow..he was non stop from the moment he got on stage.......genius
Seems Everybody loves him now that he’s dead , kind of sad how we don’t love each other or notice each other’s worth while we are still alive. Some of you loved him im sure , but when ppl die it become a trend and for a few weeks after almost everyone loves them and claims they always did. Start appreciating each other more in life
Always called gottfried a comedy genius and even a hiphop legend. He was in The Gas Face Video with 3rd Bass. Every hiphop head or howard stern fan loves gilbert gottfried
It’s remorse buddy. Remorse wants us to check out on what we lost even if we didn’t know what it was. He was truly a funny and talented man with a larger than life personality.
Roc talking about not decorating his crib because he didn't want to get conditioned to prison but assaulted a correctional officer and got eight more years in prison.
Near the end of the clip, Gilbert asks, "So who did you vote for on the Elvis stamp?" In the early 90's, the Postal Service took a poll on which picture to use for an upcoming stamp - a young Elvis, or the middle-aged Elvis, who ended up being a model for millions of Elvis impersonators. (I just realized it would not be a bad idea to be a "Young Elvis" impersonator, especially since the market seems far from glutted.) One day, I was with someone doing a poll for his own local humor magazine, asking, "Young Elvis or Old Elvis?" and a mailman on the street answered, "Dead Elvis."
Wha??? Desi Arnez in the audience? I say that because when Gilbert says his appendix is going to burst out of fear, you can hear a guy in the audience doing that Desi Arnez laugh EH EH EH 3:40 that laugh is actually right at 3:45 but i went back 5 seconds
Gilbert Gotfried yes but not “ the Roc” He’s character name on a tv show was named Roc. And that was the show’s name. Not his clickbait thinking He was the wrestler “ The Rock “
