Every single time I hear 'rain/snow/etc. event' I always yell that line. The first time I heard 'snow event' on the weather channel I perked up and was oh so giddy that I was able to say those words.
We definitely need I'm back! Imagine all the stuff he could come up with today! He always found a way to bash both sides of the political aisle. I would LOVE to see what he would come up with in regards to Trump, Pelosi...and especially Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
I'd attribute his timing & delivery to his mastery of the English language. Every word in his many routines was deliberate. Superlative gifts of expression.
The best and succinct way to wrap it up all about the genius and perceptiveness of Carlin. He was practically walking alone and brave enough to walk it alone.
@@anthonylesley982 learning? And sorry...due to the question of spelling above I apologise if this question is therefore out of context and not intended...but did you just try to insinuate that Carlin had ANY political leanings? The whole thing that made him brilliant was he did all he could to stay OUTSIDE of the childish crap test that is tribalism politics... He had the wisdom to see that BOTH sides were as screwed up as each other, simply in different ways...so he had no leanings in either direction BeLiege it or not...some people just try to IGNORE all the political BS, and one of the worst things anyone can ever do is try to force a label upon them that shows anything about them... I’ve lost many friendships from high school due to several of them insisting on seeing everything through a lens of political labels, and trying to insist I submit to living under one of those such labels...
@@trayolphia5756 I meant leaning that’s what I get for typing at 2 in the morning! And yes he was more of independent in view points but you gotta some of things he said did have a very left undertone like his abortion views m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SgjGwOByays.html m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fmMvsAjCkog.html
I’m about your age, I remember the first time I heard his comedy I was like omg the shining time conductor is swearing and it’s hilarious 🤣 true comedy legend ❤
I was on a plane a couple weeks ago and I was telling my son this bit during the announcements and a man with a thick European accent sitting in the same aisle asked me if I was quoting George Carlin
Another good one was, "In the unlikely event of a water landing..." Well, what exactly is a "water landing"? Am I mistaken, or does this sound somewhat similar to CRASHING INTO THE OCEAN!? "Your seat cushion can be used as a flotation device." Well, imagine that; my seat cushion! Just what I need: to float around the North Atlantic for several days, clinging to a pillow full of beer farts.
@@MoveitorLoseit2 exactly, even if you were constipated (or as he said in another bit, suffering from occasional irregularity), that would be one sure way to take a massive shit right in your pants.
“Your seat cushion can be used as a floatation device” How about that? My seat cushion! Just what i need, to float around the North Atlantic clinging to a pillow full of beer farts
The man was a genius! I’m forever amazed A.) that he could think this stuff up. B.) that he could remember it, and most of all C.) that he could deliver it so fast and with such perfect timing. . . And he literally NEVER stumbled over his words, like not EVER. I can’t string three sentences together without tripping up in some way, and he talked for 90 minutes at a time with so much as an “uh” or “um”.
@abc456f Well that is even more amazing. As someone who has done a fair bit of public speaking, I find rehearsed and exact phrasing very limiting. Basically I find it challenging to get it absolutely perfect, but speak in ideas rather than words. Carlin is definitely a one off. Genius.
Zach Wolfe He would melt quite some snowflakes nowadays. It would be a pleasure to see him in front of a bunch of millennial students. I think his kind of harsh humor would make their heads explode. :D
A true genius at work. He dissects every word, gives it a lot of thought and twists it into comedy while reflecting our societal BS and how we misuse words.
@@albertboccella1902what about the dementia patient? I mean Trump's nowhere near as easy a target. He's def a Cheeto colored funny wise ass crooked NYC businessman but at least he can talk
This is one of his all-time best routines, absolutely brilliant! George actually went to work to write his content. He had an office and was very professional about his art form. That's why he is the absolute king of making you laugh at things you didn't notice were funny when they happen.
The last time my brother and i were on a plane, it was August, 2014. As they were DOING the safety lecture, we were laughing like idiots because this whole thing was in our head the whole time. Definitely the highlight of all my flying experiences.
Someone asked me why I was laughing so hard...and they said they’d never heard of Carlin... ...got my iPad out and played this on full volume...everyone was cacking themselves...
Well, what other kinds of belongings are there, besides personal? Public belongings? Do these people honestly think I might be travelling with a fountain I stole from the park?
George is one of the funniest comedians of all time. I’m 66 years old and would mimic him always as an early teen. He passed away too soon, he was comedy genius. Big Al.
Carlin is like if a raving lunatic were possessed by the ghost of a philosopher. He can take literally anything, from a mundane activity to our whole goddamn society, and eloquently explain all of its flaws, but he does so with the energy of that crackhead you see on your way to work screaming at a brick wall.
As a retired pilot, and long time Carlin fan (Hippy-Dippy weatherman days) who was flying when the flight attendants made these announcements in person, as opposed to the current TV monitor, I'll off this: Every word of every phrase was, and is, concocted by the FAA, and forced upon the airline personnel to deliver. That's the reason they never vary, from crew to crew, and airline to airline - basically, the same reason we get the same hamburger and fries at every MacDonald's.
Amazing genius of George Carlin that stands the test of time with his mastery of the language and impeccable delivery. I can watch his stand ups over & over again... and still be amazed, entertained and educated. Sad to think that it's been 10 years since he departed this world.
I’ll be honest with you but why the hell did it pop into your head that other people should know what you think.Your opinion isn’t worth that much. Also, nobody fucking cares
BxGirl Blazin' Me three, even though I just found him in Summer 2017. Where the fuck was I before then right??? Then I found out he'd already been dead for 9 years. But I will miss him too.
George Carlin would not approve of the title. There is no such thing as "LIVE" from NY... Yes, it was recorded Live, but after that it's just a replay.
@@c.w.r.794 😂he’s the only one who does... he’s the secret billionaire genius CEO designer of the fidget spinner who flys commercial as a way to ‘save the planet’ and is trying to ‘blend in’.😜
Very overrated man. If you sit and go through his shows and topics they are very very basic he uses the same recycled jokes as nearly all comedians use. It doesn't take a genius to do a bit of research and watch all the videos about him to realise all his material is reused, cliche jokes and topics and aot of the material he used for over 10 years. Comedic genius? I think not, tbh alot if not all of the humour is made up by kids in school which is embarrassing on his part because he's coming up with the same jokes as a kid in school.
“Seat! It’s a god damned seat! Check around your seat!” and... “I might have brought my arrowhead collection. I didn’t....so, I’m not going to look for it!!!”
I make it a ritual to watch Uncle George's Safety Lecture when boarding a plane. I am laughing while the 'flight attendant' is showing us partially educated folks how to buckle up.
