Known for his screeching voice and pinched delivery, actor and comedian Gilbert Gottfried was more than a punchline. He was a serious student of comedy with decades of memorable characters, one scene-stealing animated parrot, and the definitive mic drop version of the joke in The Aristocrats.

Satire, Sci-Fi Comedy - Rated NR - 13 Minutes - 1978
What a better way to celebrate the day than with Hardware Wars, the wonderfully low-rent rip-off/satire where the starships are toasters, the hairdos are cinnamon rolls, and the villain wears a welding mask. The whole thing is so lovingly-handled, it's impossible to be mad about how cheap and silly it is. You can find the whole thing on YouTube. May the Fourth Be With You!
