number 10 saturday night stint saturday
night live where the hell you been
boy i ain't been doing nothing after
slugging his way through comedy clubs
since his teenage years gilbert
gottfried eventually earned himself a
golden ticket the chance to be a cast
member on the sixth season of saturday
night live i love it when you two fight
[Music]
[Applause]
if you forgot the comedian was on the
legendary variety show you'd be forgiven
as the stint lasted only 12 episodes
unfortunately for gottfried the season
he starred on was the one immediately
following showrunner lorne michael's
brief exit along with the original cast
be like saying
like in the middle of beatlemania that
uh oh we're getting four other guys to
be the beatles needless to say the
backlash was strong all but dooming the
new replacements from the beginning but
even though gilbert wasn't entirely
happy with his time at 30 rockefeller
plaza there's no denying the show put
him on the world stage where he clearly
belonged
number nine television's voice of many
and never talk in our doorway again with
your horrible bike radius there's a
reason gilbert gottfried's voice was one
of the most recognizable in all of
showbiz it was raw shrill but most
importantly unique no wonder animated tv
programs could not resist the comedian's
distinct sound wow gilbert gottfried
that's right awesome gottfried would go
on to lend his famous vocal chops to
countless shows over the years this
included digit in cyberchase dr bender
on fairly oddparents and mr mixes
pitolic in various dc cartoons his
villainous read would continue as
crang's subprime in teenage mutant ninja
turtles you've been trying to wipe out
dimensions we've been trying to mutate
for thousands of years are you insane
naturally his speech was also in demand
for adult animated series such as seth
macfarlane's family guy it truly was the
voice that kept on giving dog racial dog
whistle where are you dog number eight
scene stealer beverly hills cop two oh
oh come right in don't let the fact that
my doors closed dissuade you in any way
from entering my office it's pretty hard
to miss a cameo appearance by gilbert
gottfried this is on account of you know
the incessant yelling but hey it worked
and in the 1987 follow-up to eddie
murphy's smash hit beverly hills cop
gottfried managed to be an absolute
scene stealer do you own a black
mercedes-benz license plate number crl
507. 507 that's my wife's car that's not
my concert 25 unpaid parking ticket it's
under my name but it's my wife's car no
no no as accountant sydney bernstein
gilbert's interactions with murphy's
detective axel foley are uproariously
funny for many cinema goers it was their
first taste of the funny man on the big
screen but it would not be their last
although his turns in look who's talking
2 and problem child earned him razzie
award nominations the comedian
definitely left his mark on every film
he appeared in oh boy was that stupid or
what it was very stupid i think i'm
gonna have a heart attack number seven
those emmy awards jokes the 43rd
primetime emmy awards
[Applause]
[Music]
can't believe it they're gonna take up
my time if you ever wondered why gilbert
gottfried was never present at recent
hollywood award shows there's a good
reason for it the year was 1991 and
actor paul rubins famous for portraying
eccentric kids host pee-wee hermann was
arrested for public indecency
donated a pair of hot pants
[Music]
and so godfrey took it upon himself to
make light of the incident during an
appearance at the 43rd primetime emmy
awards i sleep a lot better since
pee-wee herman's been arrested the
seemingly endless series of crude jokes
caused an uproar it's like if the police
tried to arrest me it would be quick
stay away from his right hand while
viewers on the east coast saw the entire
thing the broadcast was censored for the
west coast following a series of
apologies by the network the comedian
was blacklisted from future events this
of course would not be the last time
gilbert courted controversy
can i hear something
all right that's enough number six host
with the most gilbert gottfried's
amazing colossal podcast gilbert
gottfried was no stranger to being a
host in fact gilbert took on hosting
duties for the saturday edition of usa's
up all night from 1989 to 1998. push
faster i want that
wind to go through my hair oh if i would
have known this i wouldn't have worn
these hills
are they black heels the comic really
hit his hosting stride however when he
launched the appropriately titled
podcast gilbert gottfried's amazing
colossal podcast in 2014 the show served
as an interview series where godfreed
was joined by co-host frank sent to
padre to discuss classic movies the pair
chatted with hollywood legends and
behind the scenes talents many of whom
influenced gilbert's comedic
sensibilities he'd call me from the road
he'd have to discuss
something raymond burr did
i said you know you guys like should do
something with it it's so impressive the
amount of knowledge that both of them
have the podcast was a major hit with
fans providing an irreverent and
enlightening outlet for gilbert to do
what he does best talk the greatest film
school in the country when i was a kid
was your living world
because you turn on the tv and they have
old movies 24 hours a day number five
you fool hollywood squares when the game
show hollywood squares got a reboot in
the late 90s producers sought to have
gilbert gottfried join the celebrity
infused cast for some tic-tac-toe fun
and what fun it was to see the squawky
comedian play along with the phony
playfulness of it all i know this one
cause i pose for flaker
you don't actually see anything cause my
thumb was in the way
one particular episode however became
the stuff of game show legend thanks to
gottfried and two little words
continuously trolling contestants who
needed his square to win the game
gottfried taunted them by yelling you
fool over and over one round even lasted
an entire episode yeah only gilbert
gottfried could turn a cheesy game show
into a raucous riot of laughs i'm gonna
agree
number four commercial king know the
signs
uncontrollable yelling why you're in egg
rolls hallucinations sushi gilbert
gottfried's signature comedy persona was
a surprising hit for advertisers in fact
the comic was enlisted to provide a
series of promos for the newly launched
mtv channel in the early 80s look just
give me a shot just give me a shot
please the mostly improvised adverts
would actually go a long way in
familiarizing audiences with his unique
style of comedy of course it was a later
ad campaign that became an infamous
moment in gottfried's career
at work
after voicing the aflac duck for over a
decade the comedian was abruptly removed
from the job due to jokes he made
referencing the tohoku earthquake and
tsunami however many were quick to point
out that his replacement appeared to be
doing an impression of gottfried's voice
they fired me got loads of free
publicity out of it and then hired a guy
to imitate my voice for less money thus
bringing closure to a horrible tragedy
number three that filthy joke the
aristocrats they might have to clean
this up for tv the aristocrats has long
been considered the dirtiest joke ever
told and in 2005 penn gillette and paul
provenza made a documentary that
attempted to tell the history of said
joke the core of the film centered on
you guessed it gilbert gottfried and
here comes gilbert and he just went for
broke it was i mean it was unbelievable
you see while roasting playboy founder
hugh hefner just three weeks after the
events of 9 11 godfrey delivered a risky
airplane joke only to receive great
disdain from the audience they started
booing him there's a guy in the audience
shouting too soon too soon the comedian
would go on to ditch the rest of his
prepared material and deliver the
aristocrats joke instead he says that
what do you call yourself and they go
the aristocrats he not only won the
audience back but brought the filthy
joke to the mainstream you want me to
start at the beginning
if you missed any question i'll repeat
it
thanks gilbert we think
number two roast with the most ladies
and gentlemen i hope you can hear the
sound of my voice ah yes the roast a
time-honored tradition where the guest
of honor is subjected to good-natured
ridicule heck the new york friars club
has been roasting famous folks since the
50s so it should be no surprise that the
foul-mouthed gilbert gottfried joined
more than his share of deuces over the
years well first of all it's not true
it's not true gilbert was always a
highlight of the night and from george
takei to bob saget to roseanne barr no
one was safe from his epic burns and
like most monsters she goes by one name
and that name is rosella after all this
is a man who once said quote the joy of
a roast is to watch people get hurt and
offended and then they have to laugh to
pretend they're a good sport oh you're
not gonna like thursday

aladdin you marry the princess all right
and and uh you then you become the salt
as much as he was beloved for his edgy
expletive laden comedy it was gilbert
gottfried's indelible family-friendly
portrayal of iago the parrot in 1992's
animated blockbuster aladdin that many
remember most fondly
and in a movie opposite robin williams
as a genie it's impressive to be
remembered at all but an entire
generation of kids and adults just
couldn't help but love to hate this evil
parrot the parrot was uh annoying and
grating and for some reason they thought
of me hey you got a problem pinky
i don't know why sure he aids jafar in
his many wicked plots but gottfried's
read was just too darn charming to
resist so how did it go i think she took
it
rather well he was so liked in fact that
the character and gilbert were brought
back for the numerous sequels and tv
series adaptations it really was a
perfect casting if ever there was one i
will have the power to get rid of you
i'm gonna do some evil i'll give you a
tissue i'm gonna cry
