Fuck, he wasn't even on my Death pool for this decade. RIP to a legend.

 

[The Jumping Dwarf]

67 is way too young for such a legend. I enjoyed seeing his squawky parrot voice unexpectedly pop up in all sorts of movies and cartoons.

It really feels like we'll be missing something now. RIP.

 

[The Cunting Death]

Okay big question

How the fuck did Artie Lang manage to live longer than all of these guys

 

[MuuMuu Bunnylips]

They try blaming it on Covid yet?

 

[An automatic clown]

One of those celebrities who's name and face I definitely recognise but I can't actually think of any movies or TV shows he was in

He used to be the Aflac duck and he was Iago in the 90s animated Aladdin movie

 

[XYZpdq]

He was in an episode of Married With Children as himself

 

[Dr. Ricearoni]

He was Iago (the parrot) in the Disney Aladdin movies.

Outside of that, got nothing.

He voiced God in Smiling Friends.
I think their first pick was Norm iirc so clearly God doesn't like his depiction there.

 

[TopCat]

Awful news about Gilbert, was a big fan of his work. May he RIP.

 

[DoomsdayElite]

The first comic-as far as I know-who cracked a 9/11 joke during a show, barely weeks after the event. And finally free from the machinations of Junior Healy and all his petty torments. RIP.

 

[CatParty]

His appearance on norms podcast is pure gold. @wagglyplacebo do you still know where to get the old norm podcasts

 

[Kermit Jizz]

Fuck, a celebrity death I actually care about. That's sad.

 

[Jimjamflimflam]

Setting the clock to see how long until a #metoo attention whore comes out with a vague accusation.

 

[Oh Long Johnson]

When Gilbert was on Stern's show with Billy West and Jackie, it was always hysterical - something you'd wait in the car to listen a bit more before heading into work.

 

[Michael Jacks0n]

I remember seeing him in something recently and thinking he looked sick.

He was on Joe Rogan's podcast not too long ago and sounded pretty haggard:

 

[CrazyRandomZyn]

No....I loved him as Digit in "Cyberchase" as a kid, and "Aladdin's" Iago....He was a great comedian, filthy humor but awesome.

RIP to a Comedian.

 

[Jack Awful]

Jesus Christ, beloved comedians won't stop dying.
RIP

 

[kcbbq]

RIP to the real AFLAC duck.

 

[Daily Affirmation]

His podcast was one of the few things left that I looked forward to. Been wondering why there has been so many 'encore' restreams lately.

I don't want to live in a world without Norm and Gil, especially this gay one. F.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

So we’re just not allowed to have anything good anymore, great.

This fucking sucks.

I just started watching again, my favorite show from when I was like 12. Cool Kids on my bus, we all had the Bugle Boy shirts like Bud. I may have to skip ahead some eps tonight.
