Gilbert Godfried disgusts Shecky Green with joke. (1 Viewer)

[squistion]

Am I the only person who would be unable to name a single thing that Shecky Greene has appeared in or done?

with a USFL team avatar, probably? The XFL generation would be less surprising though.

Interestingly Shecky Green was always the staple name used to stand in for a comedian (e.g. "What are you, Shecky Green or something?")

I've heard people say this, but thought it was just a made up name. Didn't know he was a real guy.

He was big in Vegas for years (like Wayne Newton) but nothing much beyond that. Never made any impact anywhere else.

Today he missed eating lunch with another legend, Larry Storch, 91, and former star of “F Troop.”

They've really relaxed the requirements to qualify as a legend.

I like Godfried, but the whole roast thing of late has become a sad joke of what it used to be. Each comedian gets up there and tries to cross the line as far as they can. It's no longer good, whole hearted humor. It's just trying to be as offensive as possible, while then being able to say, "What? It's just a roast. We're only joking."

He has the grace of a swan, the wisdom of an owl, and the eye of an eagle. Ladies and gentlemen, this man is for the birds!

If you live long enough and have had some measure of fame, you become a legend by virtue of the fact that you are one of the few survivors of that era (even though you weren't a star at the time).

from wiki:

One of his standard jokes in Las Vegas and on television went like this: "Johnny was a good boy, never smoked, never drank, never dated. On his graduation day from college, his parents asked what he wanted. Johnny replied, 'A drunken broad that smokes.'"

Greene says that Jay Leno once told him that his all-time favorite joke is one Greene recounted about Frank Sinatra saving his life. Five guys were beating up Greene, and then he heard Sinatra say, "OK. He's had enough."

To me, those are funnier than any of the blue, four-letter word filled insults that are standard now during roasts.

Seth MacFarlane: “Charlie, you claim to have tiger blood, but with all the porn stars you’ve banged, I’m guessing it’s just Tiger Woods’s blood.”

MacFarlane: “He’s the reason a #### with cocaine on it is called a Sheenis.”

Kate Walsh to Anthony Jeselnik: “That embarrassing nasty parasite on your penis is Amy Schumer. And there is no cure.”

Walsh: “I’m so, so happy to see that William Shatner is here, because a medical colleague had told me that you’d passed on. I said, ‘Bullsh*t. You ever seen his resume? Shatner’s never passed on anything.’”

Walsh to Sheen: “Despite all those years of abusing your lungs, your kidneys, your liver… the only thing you’ve had removed is your kids.”

Ross (not sure who to): I wouldn't #### you with Bea Arthur's ####.

It was to Sandra Bernhardt.

The problem is he's 88 years old and has outlived his audience. I guess that's better than the alternative.

Sarah Silverman: (to Alan King) A nursing home in Florida just called. The last person who thinks your funny just died.

At the risk of ruining Drummer's wonderfully edited post above, unfiltered Gottfried is genuinely unreally funny.

Him and Norm MacDonald talking about Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jerry Lewis's "Ghostbusters" is crude, rude, sad, and hilarious.

NSFW, but I love it.
