Gilbert Gottfried is most famously known for playing Jaffar's annoying little parrot, Iago, in the
Aladdin movies. Well, that was until he became famous for tweeting a series of jokes about the tsunamis in Japan shortly after they occurred including:
- I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, 'They'll be another one floating by any minute now.
- Japan is really advanced. They don't go to the beach. The beach comes to them
- Japan called me. They said 'maybe those jokes are a hit in the US, but over here, they're all sinking.
So after that he lost his endorsement/voice deal with Aflac, which does 75% of their business in Japan. I guess he is doing a comedy tour and taking the stage at Yuk Yuks in Calgary from January 19 to 21. Nothing against Yuk Yuks, but...how the mighty have fallen.
XOXO
