| 3 | ''Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast'' was an interview focused podcast which started its run in June 2014 and continued until Creator/GilbertGottfried's death in 2022 (with re-uploads of old episodes continuing afterwards to honor his legacy) and was hosted by Gottfried and Frank Santopadre (executive producer of ''Series/TheView'' among others). Interviews were based on Gilbert and Frank's love of old movies and television and were usually old movie and television actors, plus Gilbert's StandUpComedy friends. Gilbert and Frank formed a StraightManAndWiseGuy duo, Frank was calm and professional when talking to guests while Gilbert was enthusiastic and confrontational. Frank would be the one who researched the guest while Gilbert provided his own anecdotes that may or may not be relevant. |

| 9 | !!''Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast'' provides examples of the following tropes: |
| 10 | * AccidentalMisnaming: In the beginning Gilbert could never get the name of the show right, and still sometimes messes it up when introducing the show. |
| 11 | * AsYouKnow: This is a particular pet peeve of Gilbert's, citing John Goodman's AsYouKnow scene from ''Beyond the Sea'' as a particularly bad example. |
| 12 | * AuthorAppeal: Gilbert and Frank love the Creator/MarxBrothers and Gilbert ''really'' loves Franchise/UniversalHorror and they will be especially excited to talk to a guest with some connection to them. |
| 13 | * ButtMonkey: Frank, who Gilbert constantly says he wants replaced, and the various technicians that Gilbert questions the jobs of or never lets them forget any mistakes they have made. |
| 14 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Frank has this relationship towards Gilbert somewhat, keeping him and the interview on track. |
| 15 | * RunningGag: Gilbert telling his UrbanLegends, Gilbert mocking the technicians, Gilbert saying an actor is Jewish even if they're not. |
| 16 | * SelfDeprecation: Gilbert may make fun of everyone else, but he will laugh at any shot taken at him. |
| 17 | * UrbanLegends: Gilbert loves telling these. |
| 18 | ** His favorite one is how Caesar Romero use to hire boy toys to throw orange wedges at his naked ass. |
