George Carlin - Clips from his 1977 HBO Special 

He is prophetic in his observations and humor! Have watched him for years One of the most brilliant comedians in recent history!

Good you discovered dear ol' George. I'm only two years behind you but have been a fan since my early teens. He was often on Mike Douglas' afternoon variety show mid 70's. Sure cranked out lots of amazing material; see if you can find his books, especially 'When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops'!

George is a prophet!

Well said indeed.👌

I was lucky enough to see him perform live 7 times. One of a kind

I mean, he basically thinks as if he were drunk and sleep deprived. So im not sure it'd have much an effect lmao.

Did he really take a break he set on a stool? Was it his to take? Where did he take it? And how long did the break stay on the stool before he took it?

_Where do you take a break, to the movies?_

@@Gxlto you take it down to see the other breaks!

He seemed to have become bitter and way too political in his socialist views.

I always HATED playing Monopoly! Too much dumb luck🥸

yea,the problem was that half the country didn't have cable.

Back then, it only had content during certain hours of the day. I remember rushing home from school just to watch the screen switch from the HBO logo to movies or other specials.

No, it wasn't a thing. Everything is a thing. But HBO existed in 1977.

It was founded in 1972 as a paid subscription service added to cable

I think it started showing first run movies in '65 then got shut down in a small area of New York City first called first Sterling Information Services then The Green Channel then HBO by 1972.
