Whenever I get sad, I will watch a playlist of these RU-vid videos. Even now and then, I will get interrupted because someone has labeled the video as offensive. This makes me happy, because George Carlin has been dead for 13 years, and he is still pissing people off! A true legendary comic.
My favorite ability of George was his complete and utter mastery of English... Supplying so many categorically similar names in rapid fire... The world turned a little slower when he passed. RIP Mr Carlin - we miss you terribly.
These you tube titles are getting way out of control. Whatever the title says, expect the exact opposite. Its getting so bad, im starting to think they're doing it on purpose
@@barkleycoker9121 I keep forgetting that in the US the drinking age is 21. Higher than any other country. Here in Aotearoa it's 18. UK it's 16 or 17 I think. 😄
About 40 years ago, my friend and I were heading out to lunch. We were passing an optical shop and he turns to me and says “Hold on a minute” and he heads into the store. I’m mystified since he didn’t need or wear glasses. So I just follow him in. He walks up to the counter and anxiously asked the guy standing behind it: “Are you open on Thursday’s?’ The guy is like “ah, yea we are.’ ‘Thank You!!” and turns and leaves the store. I barely got out of the store, I was laughing so hard!
I memorized those words in the 70s and I can still list them off at the drop of a dime. Weird that I would get in trouble for typing them out here but if I were a tranny, I could grind my junk in a kid's face with zero consequences. I might even win a courage award from some marxist shill. Sad state of affairs in the US in 2023. BTW my pronouns are Told/You/So
I saw him in the late 80's. Didn't say a word for 10 minutes but I laughed harder than I ever had. He put the mic to his throat and made noises. I listen to George every day while working. Driving with George makes bad days better.
Well of course he did We use to do crazy chit back then Such as streak thru places. We could have huge bonfire parties and cops NEVER came unless someone died Like taking a piss all wasted on acid an walk off cliff. It was so great back then Those we're the days of the Mile High Club. I am a proud member since 1978. Just got married.
Carlin's three best concerts of his latter career: "Jammin in New York", "You are all Diseased", and "Back in Town." These 3 concerts, all took place from roughly 1990 through 1997, might be his greatest works.
I knew someone back in the ‘80s whose “hobby” was asking someone who had just checked their watch what time it was. The vast majority of the time, they would reflexively check it again to tell him because they couldn’t remember what they had just seen.
That's what makes this a memorable bit. Not the best, as many others have noted, but memorable. Most comics that attempt to unload lightly edited material on an audience fail miserably. Carlin delights a paying crowd.
Carlin reminds me of my dad. When he thought someone was lacking in intelligence, he always said, “Stay away from that guy. He ain’t wrapped to tight.” Lol
Truth is, he was in his time and paid close attention to reality, unlike those who always use the cliche, "ahead of his time". The most overused nonsense ever. We are all in outer time. That is how people can philosophize
@@morbidmanmusic He was a bit of both bro he analysed society and it HEAVY flaws but talked about them in very high detail so we the society that dissapointed him so much greatly could fix those flaws so the future ahead would be better for the Generations to come buuuuut never ask humans to do the work of the divine cause they will just dissapoint you
I am surprised George Carlin hasn't been censored on RU-vid by now. I often wonder if he wasn't 'dealt with' to shut him up, if you know what I mean. Ditto for Robin Williams, who was spilling quite a few political truths toward the end of his life. Maybe I'm just skeptical? May both men RIP as their well earned legacies live on.
I had the pleasure of seeing George some years ago! Some lady complained about one of his routines,and the crowd booed her til she left! It was hilarious!!
Every so often I need a break from so many issues. George Carlin was an outstanding comedian and I always seek out his performances for some laughs. Thank you George.
I've always loved the back ground he has set up for his stand up, totally looks like hes just outside at night somewhere wondering through old alley ways and factory parking lots, telling jokes 😂
Maybe not his funniest, but I'm crying. 😂 I had the privilege of attending his 'The Seven Words' concert, way way back when, and got to meet him later at a party. Wonderful night. Fascinating man. RIP, darling George, and thanx for the magic, and memories.
I say bring a sack of chickens, sit in the foul ball area and when you get one, real quick shove it up a chicken's arse and throw it back to them to chase around, yell "here's ya fowl ball you fat fucks! get it!"
I don't think you're even think you're even allowed to bring bats into the ballpark anymore. Most likely they'd be confiscated when you're going through the metal detectors.
@@EMan-ml8er Where are you going to hide it? You do know your bags get searched upon entering the stadium, don't you? Hide it under your clothes? I think it would be pretty noticeable!
So grateful to have seen him live. - One of the greatest ( if not the greatest) stand up comedians to ever live!! IMO His comedy was so on point and full of truth - he was not only hilarious - he made you think!!
While George DID have better routines than some of these, he had some that many people feel were worse as well, so it comes down to "whichever ones you like the best", a "personal favorites" kind of thing. One thing most people agree on, is that he's "one of the best of his time", so R.I.P., George Carlin!
Saw him in the late 70's..... His finish was so intense it was an information overload! He was really an intellectual they forced to do comedy . This was no where close to his best
I agree, this was his worst performance ever, I usually like everything he does but this was a little off. I saw him in the early 90’s in Vegas, it was awesome. 🎅🏻🏴☠️🏔
Screw it, all his routines are great! It will be a hell of a long time before we come across another comedian that may come close, but there will never be better!
I discovered George off a cassette tape one of my friends had. It was 1973 (I believe). It was "Occupation Foole", which I think still holds up as one of his best. The Voices of New York, being in a Catholic Choir trying to sing girls' names and of course, the 7 Words You Can't Say. He even got notice that he had won the Grammy for the best comedy album, while he was on stage. TOTALLY classic Carlin. The man was a gem and one of a kind. RIP George, your wisdom is still with us.
Definitely his best . Like a instruction manual for retired people on how to confuse and piss off those still working especially those late for work behind you at a tole booth.😁
Well, I just spent $350 on the weekly shop, didnt shop last week ,But this week I felt like saying to the check out chick that it wasnt fair that I brough t this much stuff and there wasn't one roll of toilet pape r to find in the woolworst shopping centre. I got Bog roll blues.
It amazes me that George was doing bits for yearsand in the middle of doing an old bit one more time he fucked it up and kept on going that truly proves George didn't give a damn he kept going the crowd kept cheering he did not care that's what makes George an awesome guy because even when he messed up he never had that quit mentality he was always that never-say-die never give up never surrender kind of person. For those of you who don't know out there George was a member of the United States military thank you for your service George you will be missed.
Carlin is a legend, and a lot of his stuff is timeless, but he was exceptionally funny at the time period each of his bits were written. I did not realize this until much later. It’s funny, but it is even funnier if you were there then. RIP
This bit is why I love to go into crowded places and shout "your attention please, your attention" and after a couple moments I'll just say "thank you for your attention" and move on.
Speaking of toll roads; I had an uncle who drove a big rig for years. Since he knew he did not pay a toll when hauling gas or fuel; he would tell the attendents he had a truck load of "sailboat fuel". He said he never got stopped and drove right on through when he said this.
Cranford Ducain He was BSing you. All trucks pay tolls. It's that he was lying to them to not have to pay. I haul food to hazmat. We all pay a toll. No one is special here to be able to get out of it.
Yes it is, because once you're out of the marina, you raise the sails and cut off the engine. You can't sail in and out of your slip at the marina with your sails up, it wont work. You can't go in reverse with sails either. There are times when the wind totally dies and you don't go any where. That situation is called "stays". Getting stuck in stays absolutely sucks. Having a motor will get you out of that situation if need be. Sails are great when there is wind, but when there's no wind to be had, it's a bad problem. It's not fun to be stuck out on the ocean or even in the middle of the bay and the boat goes no where, just sits there and bobs in the water and you cook in the sun.
Honestly this had me laughing harder than his other bits and I watch A LOT of standup. Sometimes hours a day at least 2x a week. Good selection. He was just being goofy instead of teaching lessons in the process here
@@goodbyemr.anderson5065 ...as recently as less than an hour ago, someone called the CS desk an idiot for not refunding him for a TV that was out of the box.
You've got more than 500 downvotes on a George Carlin video, because you just HAD to do one of those "best thing EVER" titles. Stop doing that. People don't respond well to it.
One of best things I ever saw by George Carlin came ca.1979 in a show called The Chuck Barris Rah-Rah Show, where he stood on the stage for three minutes without saying a thing. No weird expressions, nothing. He just looked back at the audience. The audience was cracking up neverthless. Then he concluded by saying, "Thank you very much!" Then Milton DeLugg played him off as he left the stage.
