American comedian Gilbert Gottfried has been sacked from his job of voicing a duck after making a series of “crude” and “insensitive” jokes about Japan’s recent earthquakes.
The jokes in question, published as a series of Tweets and already deleted:
Japan is really advanced. They don’t go to the beach. The beach comes to them.
What do the japanese have in common with @howardstern? They’re both radio active.
Japan had put out this urgent plea….” PLEASE SEND US A FEW BIlLION RUBBER DUCKIES!!!!!”
Japan called me. They said “maybe those jokes are a hit in the US, but over here, they’re all sinking.
I fucked a girl in japan. She screamed “I feel the earth move and I’m getting wet.”
My book #rubberBallsAndLiquor was released in japan. It’s making quite a splash.
What does every Japanese person have in their apartment? Flood lights.
I asked a girl in Japan to have sex with me. She said “okay, but you’ll have to sleep in the wet spot.”
What do Japanese Jews like to eat? Hebrew National Tsunami.
I was talking to my Japanese real estate agent. I said “is there a school in this area.” She said “not now, but just wait.”
My Japanese doctor advised me to stay healthy I need 50 million gallons of water a day.
Twitter’s ability to cause almost any celebrity it comes into contact with to self-destruct remains as impressive as ever.
It’s ironic that Gilbert both MADE and DESTROYED his career by being an insufferable jackass.
Hey Gilbert! Take that finger and stick it right up your AFLAC!!
MWH
Just a sad commentary as to what is considered funny.
I have family in Japan, and this is not a time where comedy, especially from some zionist comedian is welcomed. Humor that hurts others isn’t funny it just helps fill the black hole some of us have in our empty hearts.
HAHAHA THOSE ARE FUNNY
Well, somebody has thin skin. Or maybe it’s just waterlogged.
