Well I'm happy to hear that because in the old days I would have something to say and people would gather around me to hear the verberations that eminated from the back of my throat to the front part of a rather large cavity. In my age we would call that a mouth. Then the verbarations would travel through the air and INSIDE a certain membrane inside the other person causing it to shake wildly. Back when I was young we called that an ear. Then the verbarations from my mouth and in their ear produce a familiar concept in their mind and they have heard what I said. In my day we called that listening.
There's nothing wrong with a comedian laughing at his own jokes. Gilbert will be sorely missed.

I think it was Don Rickles who said “I know I’m funny because I make me laugh.”
in my day, Gilbert would be on the catskill circuit. See, he is what we used to call a comedian. A comedian was a person who would travel parts of the country and tell these stories that would make people laugh or smile. We called these stories, "jokes". Then these people who told the jokes would receive some form of payment. payment in actual money or a hot meal. The people who were laughing at these jokes were called "an Audience" in my day.

RIP Gilbert. This, and his impressions of the different Beatles on Penn Jilette’s show were the best
I had seen Groucho Marx do this BEFORE I ever heard Gilbert do an impression of it. I remember thinking, what the hell is he (Groucho) talking about? Then when I saw Gilbert do it I lost it. I saw Gilbert perform in Tampa last year and he killed it. Love him!

None of these comments talk about how the host clearly doesn’t get it. I’m cracking up that he keeps letting Gilbert go on and on, thinking there’s going to be a punch-line. He’s like “get to the point” while Gilbert just cracks up at himself
The only line missing is "Chico needed the money" 😆
Watch the Cavett interviews especially the last few. He isn't mocking the man, he's lovingly poking fun.
This is very accurate about Groucho 😂😂😂😂 Ironically there wouldn't be a Howard Stern or Gilbert Godfried without Groucho!
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in my life 😂 I am typing this comment with tears in my eyes Edit: 5 minutes later and I’ve finally stopped laughing hysterically. My chest hurts, I’m crying, sweating, and snot is coming out my nose, struggling to breathe. I had to stop the video short because it really became too painful to continue. I will probably never forget this day because this is truly the hardest I’ve laughed in my life by a mile. I don’t even know why it’s so funny but it is.

To this day, Gilbert Gottfried remains the only comedian who made me laugh so hard I cried.
What makes an impression truly great is imagining the person figuring out the quirk. EVERYONE hears Arnold and does Arnold...but who the heck watches Old man Groucho and picks up on his dottering? Pure genius.
I always thought Gilbert Gottfried does the best Gilbert Gottfried, especially the laugh.
Love it so much when Gilbert kind of laughs during the old Groucho impression 🤣

This is great! You get the bit! Good setup-man.
i litteraly shitted my pants
To think.. we collectively came incredibly close to hearing Old Groucho tell The Aristocrats.. "Back in MY dayyy.. auditioning was like a western"
He did this bit several times on Stern and it was THE funniest part of the show...brilliant impersonation.
If Gilbert did nothing else but old Groucho that would have been enough. Just the funniest thing I've ever heard.
2:16 The blonde woman with the ponytail in the background thinking "STFU I HAVE WORK TO DO!!!" 😆😆😆 3:37 Phone... I've watched this a dozen times and it still makes me bust a gut.
As much as I worship Groucho, this is funny shit.
One of the funniest things I have ever seen. I am crying laughing.
I'm going to miss Gilbert for a long time to come.... Simply the best, hysterically funny... Adding years on people's lives thru laughter
Lmaoooo still so funny. Love Gilbert and his laugh is contagious. Wish I could hang out with this guy for like minimum an hour. I think it would brighten the rest of my life.
Lol this is so spot on and I think Groucho would love it but would have something even funnier to say to Gilbert

This is probably Gilbert's best rendition of the ARISTOCRATS joke. Old Groucho's over-explanation of every aspect of the joke turns it into an endless Pi equation.
RIP, Gilbert. And thank you for the laughs.
You can tell at some points where his comedy laugh ends and his deep down personal laugh begins !! Like when he said windows is something you look out of LOL totally himself and totally funny !

I still miss Gilbert everyday, what an accent by this late great comedian. This fool was amazing.
I had to pause several times just to keep my shit composed.
RIP Gilbert. This impression slays me, I listen to his Groucho, from Stern, if I need a good laugh. This is my fan-fiction of Groucho Gottfried describing how Vaudeville worked, back in his day. "Now back in MY day...we had these books called scripts. These books had words, which you might say, out loud, if you were performing in a number. You see, back in my day, a number could be a digit to represent a specific quantity or an act in a performance. As a performer, typically, you would need words in order to communicate with the audience. Unless of course, you were a dancer. Now back in my day, dancers typically moved their feet around in order to appear more active than if they were standing still....Jugglers were another story...Some of them might use words or they might just throw balls, into the air in a rhythmic pattern, without talking at all. Now back in my day: if you had an actor, a dancer and a juggler then you might have what we called a "Vaudeville" review."
😅😅😅😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I watched those Groucho interviews on Dick Cavett way back in the day and couldn't wait for him to be on again! He would sing those crazy song dittys also, hysterical.
My God this could be an impersonation of any number of my grandparents friends growing up
I love Groucho and I love this impression!😅 (Also love the people in the background going about their business.)
Absolutely one of the most naturally funny guys on the planet. RIP
Now I know what it's like to laugh so hard you're suffering.
One of the best interviews ever!😂🤣
OMG.... This made me laugh so hard!!! Love Gilbert!!!
There aren't many things that make us laugh out loud but this is certainly one of them.
Gilbert you fuck, you're the best !
I always love Gilbert's "latter days Groucho marx" impression lolololol
Gilbert Gottfried needs to be preserved.... His laugh is everything...
Hey!! finally turned over the counter to a hundred!! And of course, I really enjoy GG -- what a fantastic laugh...
I just saw Gilbert show in Ottawa tonight at Yuk Yuk's on Elgin Street and he was so fuckin on fire.
It's almost mean. But it is spot on. I think Groucho would have approved. You really don't expect that someone with a voice like Gilbert's (and he exaggerates his own voice, but still) to just nail impersonations. He should do more of them.
I could listen to Gilbert's old Groucho ramble for weeks on end.
Love Gilbert🤣😂!
The whole point of this is probably that Groucho was trolling Cavett. The offended people don't get it. I almost peed.

He sounded more like an old Cosby, which was appropriate, since he appeared on his show in the mid-80s.
@3:20 We've been talking to people that weren't there for centuries, but nobody used a phone and it was considered odd.

This "In My Day" bit reminds me of a video of an 18 year old doing the exact same thing, but to people only 3 years younger than him. It was kind of funny actually. "In my day" (3 years ago).
Gilbert is just amazing.
He had a great jerry seinfeld impression.
