Video: Gilbert Gottfried Has a History of Telling Jokes 'Too Soon'

When is it OK to turn tragedy into comedic fodder? Well, for Gilbert Gottfried, it's never "too soon."

Gottfried proved that he wasn't only fixated on making sufferings of the past funny when he tweeted a slew of inappropriate jokes in the immediate aftermath of the epic earthquake that left Japan devastated earlier this month.

But from the sinking of the Titanic to Lincoln's assassination and the Trail of Tears, in this Funny Or Die video, Gottfried's got a quip for just about every tragic event in history. At least Gottfried's got a sense of humor about his sense of humor? But one company that wasn't laughing at Gottfried's initial tweets, and is probably still stone-faced, is Aflac. The insurance giant recently dropped Gottfried as the voice of the Aflac Duck after his controversial jokes via Twitter.
