Gilbert Gottfried, the comedian who gave voice to the parrot in the hit Disney animated feature “Aladdin” and the duck in commercials for Aflac insurance — and whose manic, loudmouthed and highly original stand-up routines mixed old-fashioned borscht-belt shtick with cringeworthy vulgarity — died April 12 in Manhattan. He was 67.

  Mr. Gottfried maintained an ardent following, especially among comedy connoisseurs who respected his timing as well as his other talents. Although he was best known for his loud, annoying voice, he was also an excellent impressionist, whose best-known voices included Jerry Seinfeld, Andrew Dice Clay, and Groucho Marx.

He was a regular on late-night talk shows, appeared in several movies, and co-hosted a popular podcast, “Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast.” About his penchant for crude humor, he said, “I don’t always mean to offend. I only sometimes mean to offend.”
