Quote of the Day

There was a club in Rochester that by law had to have a deaf interpreter onstage. I don’t do the Aristocrats that much, but I thought, Holy sh%$, to be able to do the Aristocrats and be that gross, that disgusting, and that perverted, and have this woman act it out? Holy Christ, I have to. I immediately walked over to the deaf interpreter and said, “This family walks… ” By then, the audience went out of their minds, because they knew what was going to happen. I’m watching the woman as I’m saying, “And the son blows his father, and then the dog is f%$#ing the mother.” She acted out all of it, and I’ve got to say, I admired her greatly.
—The Great Gilbert Gotfriedd, in response to an interviewer question, "Do you have any other memorable stories about times you did the Aristocrat[s]?"

The time that they are referring without the ASL interpreter to is when Gilbert Gottfried was at a roast for Hugh Hefner.

The date of the roast was September 29th, 2001, and Gottfried made a 911 joke, and completely lost the crowd, and he got them back with what is likely the best telling of the infamous, "The Aristocrats," joke ever.  (See below, starting at about 4:20)
