    He's far from being funny.

    He's a total asshole.

    Comedians make jokes. Some good, some bad, some waaay too soon. But the corporate radar is so overtuned to social media, it's just not worth it to tweet.

    If all jokes were at least 141 characters, Gilbert would still have a job. I blame Hemingway.

    I'm a visionary - I found him annoying and unfunny back when I was in HS and my friends couldn't get enough of him.

    Wow. What high school were you at? I remember my friends finding Kinison, Carlin, Leary, Dice Clay and Eddie Murphy funny but never this squinting dope.

    There's always room for a return of USA's UP ALL NIGHT and hosting crap movies for the graveyard shift.

    Yep, people say stuff like that all the time. But putting it out there on Twitter for every tom, dick and harry to read makes no sense to me.

    Man, I must have discovered Leary late. I had never heard of him back when those other guys were all around.

    He's hilarious on Stern. But Stern's show and the roasts are pretty much the only place Gilbert is funny.
