Went to one of his shows about 15 years ago. Large auditorium, about a thousand people. Anyway, it was the early show on a Thursday so his first routine in that city and for whatever reason, the crowd just wasn’t into him. Pretty dead crowd and Gilbert knew he was bombing. He took a pause about 10 minutes in and then just screamed out:
“I JUST WANT TO SMEAR CHEESE! ALL OVER YOU PEOPLE!!!!”
I might have been the old drunkard in the audience but at that moment I pissed myself and could not stop howling. Gilbert looked at me and said “that guy gets it” and next thing you know, the whole crowd roars.
He killed it from there on.
RIP Gilbert and rest easy in Heaven where your supporting role in “Problem Child” earns you an Oscar (which you can use to tell the Academy to shove it up their asses with)!
