QUOTES

GILBERT GOTTFRIED STAND-UP / Variety Magazine

"Like villagers emerging from an hour long blitz krieg, audience members look around and wonder what torrential force just hit them."

GILBERT GOTTFRIED STAND-UP / New York Post

"To see him on stage is to witness a tour de force performance by an imaginative comic artist."

THE ARISTOCRATS / Entertainment Weekly

"Out of the 101 comedians who appear on screen (including Robin Williams, Sarah Silverman, Eric Idle and Lewis Black), no one is funnier - or more disgusting - than...Gilbert Gottfried."

 THE ARISTOCRATS / Variety Magazine

"But the star of this smut-off is unquestionably Gilbert Gottfried.  Raspy-voiced comic raises scabrous invective to new lows of sustained bedazzlement, both in straight-to-camera comments and, especially, in a tape made at a private roast of Hugh Hefner that's rightly saved for the docu's climax.  Gottfried's ever-escalating ferociousness is enough to reduce even heard-it-all audiences to helpless tears of laughter."

THE ARISTOCRATS / Entertainment Weekly

"'Gilbert Gottfried', says Paul Provenza, director of the notoriously raunchy comedy documentary that killed at Sundance, 'is one of those performers who is just - he's like Miles Davis!'"

 FRIER's CLUB HUGH HEFNER ROAST / "The Dirtiest Joke Ever Told" / Frank Rick - New York Times

"But in the more than three years since, I have often reflected upon Mr. Gottfried's mesmerizing performance.  At a terrible time it was an incongruous but welcome gift.  He was inviting us to once again let loose."

 PROBLEM CHILD II / Hollywood Reporter

"The scene in the principal's office between Junior and Mr. Peabody (Gilbert Gottfried) reprising his role (is the best).  The mere memory of the scene will keep you laughing even after you leave the theater."

 GILBERT GOTTFRIED CINEMAX SPECIAL / New York Daily News

"It is simply the stuff of genius and if there's any complaint here, it is that it's too short, much too short."  

BEVERLY HILLS COP II / HBO's Guide to Movies on Video Cassette and Cable TV

"Gilbert Gottfried delivers a hysterical bit as a flakey financial advisor." 

FORD FAIRLANE / Variety

 "He gets drawn into a murder mystery linked to a shock radio DJ (Gilbert Gottfried in a hilarious cameo.)"

HOT TO TROT / Chicago Tribune

"'Hot to Trot' is just about over when the truly strange and truly funny Gilbert Gottfried pops up for a cameo.  In his few seconds of furious raving, he instantly establishes the kind of authoritative authentic comic personality that the flaccid 'Hot To Trot' fatally lacks."
