This isn’t so much about the joke. I’m not one for acausal scatalogy. It’s not because love Gilbert Gottfried so much, that I want to make an effigy out of papier maché and sodomize it. It’s because when someone is in the Zone, they’re channeling the zeitgeist (at least) or an Archetype. What I love about this clip, aside from the fact that I just stumbled upon it, is that the comedians who are talking about Gilbert’s perfect joke, are serious. They’re talking about a magic moment, like Jimmy’s outro solo on Ten Years Gone on 7/24/79 in Copenhagen, and it’s wonderful.
