During his monologue at a Friars Club roast of Hugh Hefner just three weeks after the September 11 attacks, Gilbert Gottfried joked that he had intended to catch a plane, but couldn't get a direct flight because "they said they have to stop at the Empire State Building first." Audience members responded with hisses and a cry of "Too soon!". Gottfried then abandoned his prepared remarks and launched into the venerable Aristocrats joke, winning back the audience.

Go out motherfuckers, and tell the joke. Don't forget, laughing is cathartic.
