With A Voice You Couldn't Possibly Forget, Does Anyone Actually Know Where Gilbert Gottfried Is Anymore?

By Tanya | Oct 25, 2023

Remember Gilbert Gottfried? He seemed to be everywhere in the 90s and then all the sudden he was gone. Where did he go?

His voice is nothing short of iconic, with its unique and comical tone. Not to mention his wonderful performance as Iago in Aladdin. At least that's what I know him best as. More recently he was voicing the Afflac duck- apparently only doing voice-over work if he could be a bird. Bold career move.

People turned on Gottfried after he made a series of bad jokes on Twitter back in 2011, about the earthquake disaster that devastated Japan. He was actually fired from his voiceover position with Aflac, because 75% of their business is done in Japan. He got replaced as the Aflac duck by Daniel McKegue.

According to his IMDB page, his nickname is "America's Creepy Uncle" which, honestly, is fitting. Everyone has that one uncle who says something terrible but you obviously still invite them to Christmas. Hollywood has apparently continued to let him hang around, with voice-over work in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, an appearance in Sharknado 4, and even as himself in The Comedian and Episodes.

As a comedian, it's obviously not that unusual to make a bad and insensitive joke. It seems to happen to almost all of them even though it probably shouldn't. His career may have stumbled, but apparently America's Creepy Uncle is far from done in Hollywood! He even has his own podcast now if you find yourself missing that voice...

The True Story Behind "The Sound of Music" Is Even Better Than Whiskers On Kittens

By Jon 7 days ago

When Julie Andrews brought the sound of music down from the mountains and into our hearts, she brought with it a love for the real-life von Trapp family, who the story was based on. The movie follows the autobiography of the real Maria von Trapp, who was a nun that became a part of an Austrian family before the Nazi occupation in World War II. The film accurately portrays a lot about their lives and demeanor, but in Maria's published memoirs (that the film was based on) it is easy to see how much becomes simple Hollywood figment. Here are

10 Foods From Our Childhood We're Surprised Haven't Been Banned By Now

By Meg 8 days ago

Growing up, we were exposed to a lot of foods we probably shouldn't have been. We didn't necessarily have any of this "all natural organic free range sung to sleep by angels" food that people eat now. We ate what was given to us and didn't worry about the consequences. That being said, there were some pretty questionable foods from back then that are still eaten today, and we're not quite sure why. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these foods should go away, I'm just saying I'm surprised they haven't. 1. SPAMEaterAs a general rule of thumbs, I

6 Movies That Caused A Lot Of Trouble When They Were Released

By Alex 17 days ago

Movies are supposed to entertain you. They are also supposed to elicit an emotional reaction out of you, whether it be: happiness, sadness, fear, joy, anger, contempt or any number of others. That's the great thing about movies and television, you can essentially do whatever you want because you are just telling stories, that is unless you do something that gets the masses up in arms over what you have created. Some movies are hit the big screen to such controversy that they actually inspired protests. Some were even banned in certain countries because they were deemed to be far
