Gilbert Godfrey Fired For Offensive Japan Jokes
Comedian Gilbert Godfrey has been fired from his job as the voice of the duck for Aflac Insurance after he tweeted inappropriate and insensitive Japan Tsunami jokes on March 12 and 13th. The insurance company released a statement: ?Gilbert?s recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking in humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac,? the company, which does 75% of its business in Japan, said in a statement. ?There is no place for anything but compassion and concern during these difficult times.? He has deleted the insensitive jokes but you can be completely offended by them if you visit BuzzFeed where they have captured screen shots of the worst ten. The 8.9 earthquake and subsequent Tsunami is so devestating that it?s impossible to see the humour in it, but especially not this soon. Mind you, I don?t think ever. What do you think? Gilbert just doing his job as a comedian or much too offensive regardless?

did he take it to far?

i think they fired him cause they need the money to pay the policies that are going to be filed. 75%

Ducks and birds would probably feel that a flood was coming, so they would fly away in time.

Ok if Aflac put up with him telling this joke for years then WTF is their problem with his Japan jokes?

dyna mo · 03-14-2011, 11:47 PM

he was fired because that just wasn't funny at all.

closer · 03-14-2011, 11:54 PM

waaaaay to early for jokes while you see people desperately seeking their loved ones between the rubble

Antonio · 03-15-2011, 01:42 AM

Japan is really advanced. They don't go to the beach, the beach comes to them.

bbobby86 · 03-15-2011, 02:06 AM

no no no...

John-ACWM · 03-15-2011, 02:51 AM

I considered it a bad joke.

RaiderCash_Dominik · 03-15-2011, 02:56 AM

Never found that guy being funny.

adult-help · 03-15-2011, 02:57 AM

the company, which does 75% of its business in Japan
----
this is the true reason, everything else in their statement is just PR bullshit ...that of course doesnt mean that "jokes" were not offending..

Dappz · 03-15-2011, 05:38 AM

hahaahha is this funny

The joke is called "the Aristocrats" and it's as old as time. Not really his joke and it's supposed to be completely vulgar and shocking in it's telling.

GGs stand up is generally vulgar and unfunny, he excercised poor judgement with the Japan jokes, but I wouldn't fault him for his ver of Aristocrats.

Yes I know what "the aristocrats" is. My point is that Alfac certainly didn't cre about it's image having a spokesman that "jokes" about incest, pedophilia and the other shit, but earthquake jokes were over the line? That's my point. They're being hypocritical. I'm not sure which part is too hard for you to understand? Peerhaps I shuld use crayon next time or type slower?

ottopottomouse · 03-15-2011, 06:26 AM

I get most of the news first from jokes.

Telling jokes about the deceased at funerals doesn't usually go over all that well even with an otherwise jaded audience.

Seems like a simple enough concept to me.

I do often actually.. comedy is a form of coping with pain just as crying is, which one of the two you think is more productive?

If every comedian and every funny person just stopped telling jokes and being funny every time something bad happens in the world this place would become a horribly dull cesspool that I wouldn't even want to be a part of anyway.. so maybe his jokes weren't that funny, but damn did he give it a try anyway didn't he?

Kenny B! · 03-15-2011, 07:09 AM

GG is pretty amusing, and yeah he's crude, have a fucking sense of humour. As soon as Greg Giraldo died he said something to the effect of when Greg gets cremated will that be the Greg Giraldo roast, people took offense, stop being so sensitive.

After 9/11 everyone was all politically correct, but now comedians can say anything. i guess it's true in comedy timing is everything!

If you started typing in english it might help.

bronco67 · 03-15-2011, 08:51 AM

That joke isn't bad, it's just some dark humor.

But I've heard some really mean-spirited(jokes and comments), ugly stuff that has no place.

It seems simple enough that "joking" about a dad first fucking his underage daughter in the ass isn't particularly funny either. Unless YOU like pedo jokes. So do you? Do you enjoy pedo "jokes"? Please let me know when you hypocrisy ends.

Tom_PM · 03-15-2011, 10:36 AM

George Carlin did a bit once about how no matter how hard you try, you can not avoid offending SOME one in an audience.

Still, it's not only too early, the damn thing is not even over yet. They just rescued a 70 yr old woman today from the rubble.

I suppose the bottom line here is that it's their company, their ad campaign, their corporate image. I guess it's their call as to where the line is on taste and on who or what their company's rep is based on.

czarina · 03-15-2011, 12:17 PM

he had it coming

Sagi · 03-15-2011, 02:20 PM

GG does tasteless jokes so why expect him not to joke about Japan? If you don't like it don't watch him. That being said Aflac has a right to fire him but they should have known since he was the first comedian to joke about 9/11.
