I can't stand the way he talks,but is that his for real voice,or is it a fake "character" voice he uses in public?
If that horrible voice is just a schtick then he's pretty much a one-trick ponyQuote:

It's actually a fake voice. I've seen him use his natural voice off set once. It was gentle and kind.
Strange.
Not so strange. Paulie Shore and Bob Goldthwait come to mind as two guys who used an annoying voice/personality that made it big for a while.
Two more one-trick ponies.
Oh, hahaha, I was referring to hearing his natural voice being a 'strange' experience. I didn't expect to hear that.Quote:

Excuse me, Mr. Negative, but G.G. is a "comedy actor"...and all comedy actors have unique "shticks" (Gilbert has that grating voice, the late Andy Kaufman had his habit of "thumbing his nose at the audience", Don Rickles always calls people "hockey pucks", the often-censored Stepin Fetchit had his characterization of "The World's Laziest Man", etc.).Quote:

Most (and I mean MOST) people enjoy Gottfried and he should be enjoyed for what he is, realizing that his grating voice is nothing more than mere comedy shtick that is not meant to be taken seriously. It should also not be forgotten it's only a "fake" voice as well--his off-stage voice is nothing like that.
Also get it through your thick skull that attendance was INCREDIBLY POOR at WDW's Tiki Room, which prompted the change. Most of WDW's enjoy the current show (which is still magical and relaxing) and you should too!
Lighten up and grow a sense of humor! After all, to quote Roger Rabbit, "If you don't have a good sense of humor, you're better off dead".
Agreed. I like the original version in Disneyland better, but I also like Disneyland more anyway. Gilbert Gottfried is pretty funny if you ask me because his voice makes him funny. You must not like the Aladdin movie then either.
Well said KingCrab
Well I can't argue with that. After all, you backed up your argument with such compelling statistics and facts. Most people enjoy Gilbert Gottfried? Really? I can imagine the type of people you hang around with but that assertion STILL surprises me. As far as thick skulls go, I guess the INCREDIBLY POOR attendance the Tiki Room still seems to have means you are right. Face it, your current imagineer heroes soiled a classic. I really believe Walt Disney would fire whoever did this to his attraction if he were alive today. Phrases like "toss my crackers" would not be tolerated in Walt's version and the fact it's there now shows how low they've sunk.Quote:

Just because all comedians have a shtick, doesn't mean you can't dislike one for his shtich.
On the subject of Stitch/Tiki Room, I have yet to be there where the attraction was operating at even half capacity. Only the very little seem to be enjoying the show, same goes for Stitch. unfortunately, after taking a cursory glance through google I couldn't find any evidence to substantiate that.
However, that doesn't matter, it remains my opinion that the current Tiki Room contains none of the original charm or good nature.
What an awsome idea!!! I love it.
It is so weird I just joined today and I wrote about these 2 rides!!! I love Mission to Mars but it was changed and now silly stitch lives in my favorite ride. {crying}
I also liked the Tiki Birdies better when they were not mean.{boo hoo}
I read all of this posts and i see there is a Krab here who likes what i do not!!!!!
Am I in a paralel universe or something!!! Stitch go! Mean bird go! That would be better.
