Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

No, schmuck, he's just a good old fashion, take-no-prisoners comedian bucking the PC brigade.

This is the guy who, 2 weeks after 9/11, came out with "Sorry I'm late, my flight was diverted to the Empire State building." He didn't say that because he hates America or Americans. He was just doing his job as a comedian, pushing the envelope.

I'm sure in 6 months time, "Family Guy" will turn around with a tsunami joke and you'll laugh your balls off at it. Gilbert's just ahead of curve. There's a reason he's the comedian's comedian.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

There is a difference between being funny and being offensive.

If someone killed your family and they said they did it for laughs, would you accept that?

There is a difference between being funny and being offensive.

The finest comedians of all time will tell you that you can't be one if you're not willing to be the other.

Six comedians who've offended somebody: George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Billy Connolly, Bill Hicks, Lenny Bruce and Ricky Gervais

Three comedians who've never offended anybody: Carrot Top, Dane Cook and Gallagher

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

Gallagher has offended people greatly before. He came to our town, which is about 80 percent black I might add, during a terrible watermelon famine. We were NOT amused.

Are you for real? Watermelon famine?

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

Eh, Alec Sulkin already made insensitive comments about the Japan earthquake

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

Jokes aren't that funny if it's directed towards another country or another group of racially and culturally different people in an untimely matter. When you're "famous" or somewhat known around the world, whatever you do is reflected towards the nation you reside in. That's why what he said was taken so seriously, funny or not. And that's why he got fired.

Being an insensitive waste of space doesn't make one "ahead of the curve." It just makes him an *beep* Laughing about people dying while they're dying isn't "bucking the PC brigade," it's "showing a flagrant lack of respect for the value of human 2000 life."

I might be more inclined to forgive him if the jokes were actually funny, but they weren't. As "shock" humor goes, they were pretty lame. One was a PUN for god's sake. If someone's going to go for edgy humor, they damn well better be legitimately funny. This was not.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

It's called comedy, and he's good at it.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

No. Racism is nothing to laugh about.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist


Racism is nothing to laugh about.

Actually it is. Racism should be laughed at.

That has no bearing on what Gilbert said, though, because none of it was racist. None of what he said cast dispersion on the Japanese.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

I didn't find what he said racist, maybe poor taste but not racist. But he's a comedian, he says stuff like this.
I'm also part Japanese.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

his joke is not racist and not of poor taste, but of AWFUL TIMING! WRONG TIMING!!! A great comedian knows his timing and this guy doesn't. I'm not Japanese, but i have many friends and in laws in Japan - my friends are fine, but some of them are looking for families, and a guy friend just found out his wife and daughter died. Why should we find humor in that? is it really the time for it? sounds like an insensitive, careless freak to me. Sorry if i'm ranting - but i'm sick and tired of people trying to act like we should just joke around about unfortunate events because we are here and we are safe (for now.)

can't outrun your own shadow

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

What he said was insulting to the America and the Japanese. Yes, even the Japanese can laugh at themselves.

But there maybe 20,000~30,000 dead people now. men, women and children... thousands of bodies that will NEVER be found.

His jokes were (A): Insulting and (B) not even funny.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

What did he say?

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

Gottfried comes from a long line of schmucks. I heard his grandfather fell for old classic german "nail a penny to the back of a oven" trick.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

"google it. one of his gems included about him losing his girlfriend but like the japanese would say, there will be another floating by."

"i thought it was hilarious."

( lol ) That's a good one. There's a difference between being offensive and funny.

It's typical and amusing how defensive the liberal media are towards a non-white country. Had the Japanese looked like Italians Gotffried wouldn't have been fired.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

@Screen_O_Genic

Oh,please---the the media is NOT liberal at all---it kills me how you silly conservatives still believe that lie, even after you're pretty much taken over. Get over it,please.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

This is what Gilbert said that got him fired.

"Japan is really advanced. They don't go to the beach. The beach comes to them"


Which as people said above, he's a comedian, and anyone who knows Gilbert's comedy routines knows he pushes for the offensive and touchy subjects. It's called "shock humor".

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

You don't need to be shocking, to be funny.

'"Japan is really advanced. They don't go to the beach. The beach comes to them"'

LMFAO! He makes Dane Cook seem about as funny as dirty sock...

I can't forgive you...I love writing more than anyone alive and have since age 7...You took her

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

I know this is old, but god, reading this thread and finally getting to the joke, I laughed out loud!

I was sad when the tragedy happened, still am, and I donated money at the time.

This is not exactly a simple racist joke. It's a witty joke. I'm Chinese btw, so I learned to know the difference.

Racist jokes are jokes that not only aim to put down a race, but it's also stupid.

For example, I think a lot of the "small penis" jokes are stupid and unfunny. But there was a good Chinese joke (well, it's OLD now): "How do you blindfold a Chinese person?" -"Dental floss."

Basically, even though it is racist as well as insulting, I still laughed at it. And that's in the expense of my own people as well as myself! But the thing is, that joke took a level of intelligence to create.

The beach joke is of course really, really mean, but come on, at the very least, it took some effort to think of.

I honestly did laugh, just like I did with the dental floss joke YEARS ago. Same with sexist jokes, like (this one is old, too): "What do you say to a woman with two black eyes?" -"Nothing, you already said it twice." I doesn't mean I'm a woman beater or hater. In fact, my mom was abused by my dad and I hate him for it. But the joke itself was funny.

No, hitting women is not funny. No, people dying from a natural disaster is not funny. But if a comedian can do it right and make people laugh, then I am all fo 1908 r it.

I'd rather live and die in a world with humor in it than without.

**However, do keep in mind that really lame, tasteless, offensive jokes are not welcome. Basically, the unfunny kind of jokes that aim only to offend. Like Abercrombie & Fitch's racist shirt with Asians in it ("Two Wongs can make it white" w/ the racist pictures). Two things wrong with that shirt. 1 - The joke in itself was quite dumb, not witty, and just racist for the sake of being racist. And 2 - Abercrombie is a clothing company. People from all cultures buy their clothes, despite what their ads want you to believe. It's not supposed to be a forum for racist jokes.

I mean, I would walk in to a Lisa Lampanelli show knowing what to expect. I don't walk into a clothing store and expect to be insulted.

Anyway, I hope the difference makes sense.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

OP is probably some very 'worldly' douchebag who thinks being a racist is the worst thing someone can be...

I can't forgive you...I love writing more than anyone alive and have since age 7...You took her

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

Ya'll sensitive.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

Gilbert, like anybody who visits 4Chan or IRCImages, knows that, when an opportunity presents itself ... you've gotta go for the lulz.

Keep on being "offensive", Gil. We love you for it.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

Gottfried is hilarious! I love the guy.

Does any of you know a Japanese kid who just lost his parents in the tsunami? Or parents how lost their children? Or people who lost either their spouses, siblings, relatives, or friends? You should tell them the jokes. I'm sure they will laugh like crazy and get over their sadness in an instant.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

If you are finding yourself offended by Gilbert's comments, then you are doing exactly what he wants. Me on the other hand, find it pretty damn funny.. look, what he says doesn't effect anything that happened one way or the other. You gotta be a god damn adult and learn to either shake it off and ignore it, or laugh at it because he goes there. But him saying it doesn't harm a single person.. unless you're a little whiny wiener thinking everything in this world is about you and how you feelings are coddled. So many little pansies in this world.. and that's kinda strange for me to say because I am very level headed and tolerant of people and different races, life styles, gay/lesbian, etc. But man, I can't stand for people who can't just ignore simple things and would rather ***** and moan about it.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

I'll be praying for the next 9.0 earthquake and 20 ft tsunami wave to hit the U.S. very soon.

Hopefully itll Kill millions once California "separates" from mainland U.S.A. so that the Japanese can joke and laugh at you because according to you ignorant dumbfvckkks, people dying, losing their homes and loved ones inspires " 5b4 ;humor."

Trust me douchbags, If this tragedy fell on YOU and your loved ones...joking around would be the LAST thing on your mind. I hope this turd chockes on the next c0ck he shoves down his throat when hes interviewing for a new job.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

If a 9.0 earthquake hits California, I'll be laughing at *that*, also.

Gilbert certainly Gott fried.

Re: Gilbert Gottfried is a racist

I don't get why people keep saying the comments were racist... they are untasteful and ill-advised, but, at least in the two tweets I read, I can´t see the racist part.

whether he's racist or not doesn't matter. this guy would do anything for a buck. he's a total corporate whore. just wait for the insincere "official apology" to the japanese people so that he can go back to his shilling ways.

bend over for your masters gottfried.
