Gilbert Gottfried: Funniest man alive

jon is this more or less offensive to you than the jokes about kevin smith choking on a whopper

Funny about people offended by sexist terms throwing around "retarded" though.

oh i didnt realize you were actually a retarded person

you did call an actual woman a bitch tho

you didn't realize that?!

if u keep trying to reach the moral high ground you will definitely get there, kiu

keep striving, its within reach!!!!

take it somewhere else guys

gbx otm

^^^^yes

or just stop it

"its"

now i am offended

I think these jokes are meant to be unfunny. If they were funny, they wouldn't be so offensive. If the joke was funny enough to make Jon laugh I don't think he calls anyone out on it

Just trying to figure out why roxy had to start another dogpile on me when I hadn't posted itt thread for quite some time.

Gentlemen. You can't fight in here. This is the Gilbert Gottfried thread!

because there wasnt enough comment on you suddenly calling my friend a bitch for no reason imo

I realize that was out of line, but why is it okay for her to call me a dick in like three straight posts?

I think my underfloor heating is broken... I turned the thermostat up but I just saw my cat driving round on a Zamboni

^ insensitive hypocaust joke

dick is not a gendered insult you silly goose

Oh man, if only words could somehow be used to disparage specific genders. That would make language really powerful, huh?!

ok i had to look up hypocaust but i bet i would've lol'd and or groaned if i'd known what it was beforehand

Fuck off Whiney.

this is seriously like one second away from jon saying "but he called me a cracker"

really these pile-ups are so boring

I realize that was out of line, but why is it okay for her to call me a dick in like three straight posts?

do you really think the 2 are equivalent?

Jon/via/chi and roxymuzak are out of line in their choices of insults. I acknowledge upfront that roxymuzak doens't care what I think whatsoever.

NO I DON'T. Jesus. I'm not equating the two.

maybe it's just me but i think a dogpile should be.... sexier

just think of gilbert gottfried

dogpile on a shagpile

ILX etiquette explained:

"dick" = acceptable
"retarted sexist idiot" = acceptable
jokes about tsunamis = acceptable
"bitch" = whoa now cowboy, don't go there

giving u credit and deciding u r a man who doesnt own dogs xposts

spelling "retarded" wrong also acceptable

this is boring. i'm bored now.

you uh, how you say, don't get it

tbh "retarted" would probably be ok

1st GIS for sexy dogpile, lol @ guys in background

although idk "tart" is sexually charged so

jon via chi etiquette:

"bitch" = acceptable

"i don't like this car commercial" = IM SICK OF THE NEGATIVITY ON THIS BOARD WHY DONT WE BAN THIS ASSHOLE ALREADY BAW

the jokes-as-catharsis argument mainly falls down because this particular trauma has nothing to do with him and he has no emotional tension to purge. i would also imagine that people who have been genuinely affected by this disaster would fail to be cleansed of their trauma by reading his tweets, since they are lazy unfunny shite. if you have to be that guy who gets in there first with the jokes at a time like this, you should really have the decency to put some effort in.

Yeah, I mean, you're dead wrong. Look at all the people on the earthquake thread talking about how sickened/shaken (heh) they are by this, most of them having zero practical connection to the tragedy besides the ability to empathize with human suffering - this is clearly something that's traumatic to deal with even for people who aren't involved.

The stuff that the Family Guy writer said or the FB stuff about Pearl Harbor disgust me because you can tell that they reflect real beliefs on some level, but what Gottfried did was just like a pure jokemaking exercise. Maybe that's why I find it so persistently difficult to accept it as monstrous and offensive.

I called you a dick once for singling me out when I was trying to be helpful in the first place. I used the term once more when defending my position. I didn't say anything that anyone else hadn't said and I was, I think, a lot nicer about it than some and yet you chose to attack me. I'm sorry I called you a dick and admit that wasn't very nice but I only did so after you called me out for something I didn't even do and for misinterpreting what I was trying to say in the first place.

Whiney, are you still that butthurt about the star wars thread?

Also at least one other poster said you were being a dick way before I did and you didn't go apeshit on them.

I honestly didn't notice that, kind of hard to keep track of who all was dumping on me itt.

easier to just go for the 1 bitch

I know better but I can't take this ... jon whatever goodwill you had at the beginning of this thread is completely gone because you called Erica a...you know what you called her...to prove a point.

If you're going to fight your fights based around wounding words and the use of offensive language, do everyone a favor and hone your rhetoric skills first...and don't automatically assume that everyone's against you.

you've done this on the IA thread too and I'll be damned if I'll sit back and watch it happen again

yall i didnt even know gottfried was the voice of the afflac duck

Whiney, are you still that butthurt about the star wars thread?

i'm butthurt that you and fellow worthless poster Robert Spiralli spent my 30 day ban talking shit about me when I couldn't defend myself and now that I'm back I just want you to know how very little i think about you and your crappy, hypocritical, hysterical posting style

the jokes are obv., um, joke-worthy but gottfried's timing is ridiculously insensitive. dude couldn't even wait 3days before he goes on a diahrrea-run of everything he could possibly think of. i'm perfectly willing to laugh at some of the onion's 9/11 humor - but that was 10 YEARS ago.

they're still finding thousands of bodies washing ashore atm... i just couldn't find these jokes funny remotely as o fnow.

HDU talk shit about my girl ENBB!! :( I didn't get to read the 300 or so posts after that (yet) so hopefully there is a spot where Jon comes to his senses and sees that no one was trying better to mitigate the rage than our star.

This thread inspired me to check out GG's twitter and it is incredible that for such a reaction-baiting asshole, most of his tweets are individual Thank Yous to people! Very nice IMO.

anyway, classic:
