AFLAC Severs Ties With Gilbert Gottfried Over Japan Comments

[Lu70sChild80sFan]

I never knew Gilbert did the original voice to begin with until a few days ago when I heard about his firing (which was apparently a while ago!) What I really can't get over is the lovely mug-shot-like photo of Gilbert on clip :10-:19...Kinda resembles Lou Diamond Phillips!

[hamptondc]

where do the japanse wash? on shore!

[imcrazy85]

why in the hell are we americans using that company from japan where are the american companies im so not liking this

[hotchowder]

@imcrazy85 Aflac was formed in Georgia-US by 3 Americans and is still run by those Americans in Georgia. Aflac is a foreign company IN JAPAN so the better question would be "why in the hell are the Japanese using a company from the US, where are the Japanese companies?" You sir are a dildo.

[imcrazy85]

@hotchowder and you bitch are a used dildo lol.you are just blabbing. they are talking about aflec japan and how he joked about japan, so i must have misunderstood. on the other hand you must be one pathetic little punk haha for this to make you feel better than me to even right a pathetic comment like that. fuck you degenerate. im so glad your brushed up on your ins company history. wow what a loser hahaha

[dannylko]

she sounds like she's 13

[pearldrummer20]

fuck aflac



[DiamondSoul]

JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!!­!

[whatsgoingon07]

gilbert gotFIRED!

[rleary1]

Hilarious! Gottfried doesn't even do the Voice for the Japan aflac duck!! Shouldn't they just fire the japanes duck and keep Gottfried for the U.S.? I agree with other posters. Gilbert says some really tasteless shit including jokes about 9/11. They're going to fire him over tsunami jokes? Insurance companies are scum & these pieces of chelated white dog shit are trying to act all 'Noble'? Give me a break..

[wintercat2]

@rleary1 - Gilbert Gottfried is an idiot who should be kicked in the nuts, how can anyone go through their whole life squinting.

[rleary1]

@wintercat2 Yeah, the squinting thing bothers me too.

[rleary1]

@wintercat2 o.k. I know where you're at regarding squinting Ducks but how do you feel about 'Squinting Ant-Eaters?' {Renee Zellwegger)

[oOMuzicBoxOo]

@rleary1 It represents their company and what they are willing to deal with a hire. It's sells and Gilbert's aweful tasteless jokes will only bring their sells down, imo, if they didn't fire him.

[TheIndependentView]

AFLAC did not hire GG fior his comedic prowess. They hired him to be the voice for their iconic duck. I like GG but I think AFLAC had no choice but to cut ties. AFLAC is a business and they have to protect their interest. They were smart to pull the plug before someone calls them up on it.

[vaibanez17]

When AFLAC hired Gilbert Gottfried, they had to know he was a shock comedian. He says stuff to get a reaction. He is not just up there telling light hearted jokes. I mean they said he has been the voice of AFLAC since 2000, and in 2001 at Hugh Hefner's roast, he told a joke about 9/11 that was booed. So AFLAC is telling us "Jokes about 9/11, ok. Jokes about Japanese Tsunami victims? Not ok."

[FBIagentNinja]

Gilbert Gottfired is hilarious than EVER!

[Jefgg]

Maybe the geniuses at AFLAC should have hired someone besides a comedian to be their voice. Maybe the geniuses in Japan should not have built a nuclear reactor anywhere in that country because of their serious issues with earthquakes. I guess those people aren't perfect and they don't know everything. Gilbert Gottfried is hilarious. Fuck AFLAC. They like to suck off little Japanese dicks.

[ThisisNickyBMusic]

they should have andrew dice clay play the duck now, with his big heavy brooklyn accent, "ay Aaflack uhh"

[MOHITMASTIWALA]

Gilbert Gottfried is the best.Period.Fuck Japan.

[RythmandStrings]

@MOHITMASTIWALA He's an idiot, talk about throwing away virtually "free" money! Stupid dick. The "best" aren't idiots. They milk the gravy train until it dries up. Unless they're head is stuck in their ass. But hey, go ahead and think he's the bomb. An unemployed bomb at the moment who could have had YEARS of money coming in. Tells me a lot about your mentality....or lack of

[socrates660]

avoid going near the beaches gilbert....esp. Ca beaches!

[macdaddymomma]

Gottfried has balls. I respect his decision to make the jokes, also, he's a comedian...

[devilspjh]

i'd stef in her shoe

[certinshadeofgreen]

People need to realize that either EVERYTHING is okay to make fun of, or nothing is. How is it fair to draw lines when YOU personally don't like something? When we start making exceptions because people are offended, how is it fair to continue other jokes about races, religions, or other situations if it offends others? I personally thought his jokes were not funny and of bad taste. SO I DIDN'T LAUGH. But he should be able to say what he wants.

[cropsey7]

Thank God there's freedom of speach in America. Personally I never though this guy was funny, nice to see him get knocked down. I'm sure he's doing lots of crying, screaming......suffering......­..yum

[BruceyBStacks]

Stephanie Shyu is So hot

[nightseifer]

Fired for been funny? This world sucks

[nightseifer]

@dlwitness Lighten up cup cake.

[HughCarpenter]

I don't like despicable "trolls" on the internet who say mean things to people regarding their race -- you're spineless, and the worst of humanity. I could tell to go f@ck yourself, but that might get you excited.

[gobanito]

@HughCarpenter

Question: Why does it suck to be a black Jew?

Answer: black Jews have to sit in the back of the oven.

[HughCarpenter]

@gobanito You're so f@cking brave, tell all the Jews and blacks where you live. Some would be happy to pay you a visit.

[gobanito]

@HughCarpenter

Question: What goes "click" 5,999,999 times and then "ding"?

Answer: A Jewish cash register.

A Rabbi addresses a group of Jews in a Nazi concentration camp. The Rabbi says "My fellow Jews, I have some good news and some bad news: The good news is, we are all going to England... but the bad news is we are all going as lampshades!"

[HughCarpenter]

@gobanito Didn't think you'd tell anyone where you live, you f@cking coward!

[nickmooreimages]

Gilbert has NEVER been funny, it's a travesty people even call him a "comedian." I'm so glad he got fired.

[Somai82]

This is the same Gilbert who was invited to do a gig in a hospital and was asked to work clean cause a lot of kids were sitting there with there mothers. Gilbert comes out and immediately starts calling the little girls a bunch of dykes and is promptly kicked off the stage lol

He's gotta get back on Howard now. Easily one of the best guest ever.

[gobanito]

@Somai82

Did you say a bunch of kikes?

[Kikkies68]

@Somai82 That's funny?

[Somai82]

@Kikkies68 What's funny is that he doesn't give a shit about his career, ego or other people's political correctness. so yes, Gilbert's hilarious. You don't like it..fuck off.

[gobanito]

Don't make fun of the holocaust. My grandfather died at Auschwitz. He got drunk and fell out of a guardtower!

[Vox863]

The Holyhoax is a lie and is great material for jokes. Keep up the good work!

[gobanito]

@Vox863

Question: What's brown and hides in the attic?

Answer: The Diarrhea Of Anne Frank

[melora72]

@Vox863

My father was in the US Army. He was in Germany when the war ended. He saw concentration camps. Stop trying to defend Nazis.

[Vox863]

Please keep posting the jew jokes, They are great! No one except dumbass liberals (their shabbos goy) like jews.

[liveitupalways05]

I know about Japan. That is the place where ordinary people possessing extraordinary integrity, extraordinary care for others and extraordinary diligence live.

My heart goes to you, the beautiful nation and beautiful people.

[macktheknife888]

As Forest Gump said once. Stupid as the stupid does.

[KaylaMarieAbbott]

Sure, his jokes seemed a little outrageous, but Gilbert still has my support.

[HughCarpenter]

Unfortunately, after all the human suffering from world war 2, started by a racist nazi dictator, the world is still full of deplorable racists.

[gobanito]

@HughCarpenter

Question: Why did so many Jews go to Auschwitz?

Answer: The train fare was free.

Question: Why did Hitler kill himself?

Answer: He got the gas bill.

[gobanito]

@HughCarpenter

Question: Why did so many Jews go to Auschwitz?

Answer: The train fare was free.

[Somai82]

@HughCarpenter Hatred against the Jews, Bolsheviks and other groups (atheists, gays, roma) started way before that and much of it originates from the Catholic Church. Hitler's campaigns were supported by the vatican and the only top Nazi that was excommunicated was Goebbels for....marrying a protestant.

[HughCarpenter]

@Somai82,

Tell me something I don't already know; I don't need a history lesson. What's your point?

[Somai82]

@HughCarpenter My point is that you said it 'started by a racist nazi dictator' and I just refuted that by saying it started way before. Only for you to come back and say you already knew.. If you knew, why contradict that?

Maybe you know history, but you could use some logic.

[RabidRahker]

@Somai82 It's been said that Hitler never could have mustered support for anti-semitism without centuries of prep work by the Catholic church. Now we have a Jewish pope... Joseph Ratzinger! lol

[HughCarpenter]

Unfortunately, after all the human suffering from world war 2, started by a racist nazi dictator, the world is still full of deplorable racists.

[gobanito]

@HughCarpenter That includes the racist jew Gottfried.

[gobanito]

Question:

What is the difference between a bar of soap and a Jew?

Answer: A bar of soap doesn't die after 45 seconds in the shower.

[Se3kto45]

@gobanito lmao just wow

[andyrosefan]

USA has 104 nuclear reactors,and"accidents do happen." Will that also be a joke when something goes wrong? Thousands of people are dead,and countless of people are buried under all that debris,also families that can't be found.I don't see the humor,something must be wrong with me. What ever happened to Humanity,does it still exists? The world is changing,before our eyes,and before we know it,this can happen to us,may not be in our life time but,our children or theirs might be the ones to suffer

[skonieczny1979]

america is in jewish hands...:)

[gobanito]

@jackritter32

Between Gottfried and Howard Stern's big Jew nose there's probably not an oven large enough to accomodate them.

[gobanito]

What were Jews used for in connection with the 1936 Olympics?

For the cindertrack and the Olympic flame.

[gobanito]

More Jew humor

Q: What's the difference between a ton of coal and a thousand Jews?

A: Jews burn longer.

Question: Why don't Jewish cannibals like eating Germans? Answer: They give them gas.

Two Jewish children are sitting on top of a roof near a chimney. A passer-by asks, 'What are you doing there?' 'We are waiting for our parents.'

[brb1006]

Who's going to replace the AFLAC duck now?

[brb1006]

Who's going to replace the AFLAC duck now? It better be fitting!

[p1nkobs3ssion]

He got what he deserved for being such a LOUD MOUTH!

[jguttm]

Gilbert is funny. Screw Aflac.

[Vox863]

Listen the firing of Gottfried is obviously blatant anti-semitism. Here is a poor jewish man, jews have sad eyes and look like Babby Jesus. K? Now he was just trying to bring some happiness in to the Japanese people's lives because this brought back painful memories for Gilbert of the dark times of the shoah when sixty hundredy billiondy proud Jewish people were burned up when the Nazis attacked Pearl Harbor in Tel Aviv.

[melora72]

@Vox863

Gottfried uses a ridiculous accent of an old Jew who left Germany just ten years ago. It's a stereotype that I don't find funny I don't mind his sleazy humor too much. It his VOICE I can't stand.

They'll have no trouble finding someone else to do the duck sounds. I hope people start making videos of famous people auditioning for the part. Christopher Walken. Kevin Spacey. Charlie Sheen needs a new gig.

[mrkidskid]

i do every day better pull your heads out of your ass the jews got you over a barrle and the blacks suck up all your freakin tax money, with there freakin dope dealing crap, screw you useless chumps . cant think of more then to say most are people that make others fight there battles, love hitler and the confederacy. and admiral halsey, what am i going to do cry over spilt japs,

[Walhamdulilah101]

This is called ''Jewish humor''.

Ha Ha Ha , iam dying from laugh please help me HA HA HA

[braposo23]

i wonder if people would find it funny to joke about the holocaust or slavery??

[AmberIsSeXXXy]

What a load of shit. People need to lighten up... the jokes weren't funny, which is probably why most of you got your panties in a bunch. If Richard Pryor or Dave Chappelle made jokes about it, they'd be funny because they're good comedians, & y'all wouldn't be so offended. Y'all would probably laugh your asses off, people's opinions are like a domino effect: people are like sheep & once one person says they're offended, everyone else follows suit. The point is: lighten the fuck up.

[malwint]

@OculiUbique Could you send us the names of people in your family who have died and then we can make jokes about them. Then we'll see how you feel.

[abrahamWCE]

Geico, MetLife & Prudential liked this video

[mrkidskid]

hay people get a life, its a freakin joke. i for one thought it funny, and yes you dont have to tell me, i already know i have a sick sence of humor, but i can say this, i got a sence of humor, evan when the chit hits dah van, lolo, i dont remember anyone wanting to fire admiral halsey. ever met a good jap, yes one thats been dead six months,

[ieodksnw787]

@mrkidskid

yeah but the jokes weren't funny at all, but cruel.

[gizarangi]

@mrkidskid your obviously just racially insensitive

[TokixReaper]

oh Mr. Gilbert, I'm so glad you GottFired, now you can joke all you want. i started you off, so take it from there =D

[slaya2006]

@OculiUbique What were the jokes? PM me if you're afraid to post them here.

[TokixReaper]

@slaya2006 i read that it was some like "Japanese is so awesome. They don't go to the beach. The beach comes to them"

[MrRiggsinn]

as much as I hate to admit it BigGift1 is close to the truth, but general insensitivity is out of controll in the world today as so many people find fun in others suffering, it is quite insane really.

[clintonearlwalker]

I would guess that Gottfried would have a legal claim. I seen where some woman sued because she was fired because of remarks she made on Facebook, she sued and won an undisclosed settlement. This is still the United States, and people still have the right to free speech.

[BigGift1]

Another Jew making insensitive comments about the catastrophic events in Japan and it's people... if anyone does the same to them(the Jews) they're know as antisemitic or Jew haters.

[scratchneck]

@BigGift1 Agreed

[braposo23]

@BigGift1 truth!!

[ChiroQuacker]

this is why twitter and facebook suck balls.... i say...shut the fuck up... can u imagine..gilbert had a sweet gig... his jap jokes were funny big fucking deal he's a comic... who cares.... but he loses a high paying easy gig over a few jap jokes on twitter that is bullshit..thats why charlie sheen hates his bosses... those same assholes running network tv thought putting leno on at 10 and handing the tonight show to conan was a brilliant idea lasted about ten minutes fuck u aflec !!!

[gizarangi]

@ChiroQuacker gilly should of thought about what he was saying first . its no surprise he got fired .

[melora72]

@ChiroQuacker

Asswipe, Charlie Sheen's mother is Jewish.

[ChiroQuacker]

@melora72

thats Dr. Asswipe to you sonny boy.

I love Charlie sheen and i agree with him that jews are evil and worship satan...charlie has his finger on the pulse and as for gilbert he is the worst anti semitic...he hates jews...he must have nazi dna. not everyone can be a protestant like gilbert. jews are people too.

[cropsey7]

@ChiroQuacker too bad so sad your mans a douchebag, looks like he got hit hard in the pocket. Aflac!!! lol

[william2jack3]

To be fair Gilbert had it coming. I've read his comments on Japan's crisis and there is deffinatly a too soon quality to them. At least it will be something for him to talk about of his next radio apperance.

[ChiroQuacker]

@william2jack3

bullshit...you are full of crap..you probably laffed when you read the jokes...

you are a typical bullshit artist...

[StopmeatGoveg]

@william2jack3 whatd he say?

[scratchneck]

@william2jack3 why was I not amused? Why was I just disgusted by those jokes? must be something wrong with me...
