Thank you for posting this... my Mother used to play this tape for my dad ... he was in the hospital in a coma for 4 years. He used to giggle when she did. This is tattooed in my brain and will always make me laugh.
@@hypercyclone1252 don't be a dick.... aorry you can't help yourself and be a fuckin idiot. Hope you never have to experience that... have a nice life and look both ways before stepping off the curb.... asshat.
I think the guy meant that he can see why your dad laughed, is what I'm gathering. Please do calm down and try not to be so hostile to people who only trying to offer condolences.
Carlin at Carnagie 1982 New York sold out concert. Hard to believe he recovered from a heart attack earlier that year. This is one of his best, I remember it well. This was from a time when the phone hung from the kitchen wall, cassette tapes played music, vcr s were state of the art and you only had 4 channels on the tv unless you got that new fangled cable stuff with that Mtv and HBO.😆
So true, environmental stuff is exact on the money, George we need you now more than ever. The jesters in ancient times could make fun of kings to keep them real ...
Pre-cynical Carlin was my favorite but there’s no way I’m showing this to my kids until they’re grown! I need all the bargaining power I can get and if they know I find this funny they will starve!😂
That's if the world doesn't burn before your kids hit puberty. Might as well show them the latest videos so they'll grow up to be critical thinkers. Unless you're one of those parents that had a kid just for a slave.
This is interesting, because both Mr. Carlin and myself were raised in the “eat what you’re served and shut up” generation. More specifically, the “either you eat what’s on the table or you don’t eat” generation.
Capcoor, you got that right LOL. Ate headcheese, blood sausage, cow's tongue, and some other crap until I grew up and found out what those were. Yuck! Never again LOL
Been seeing comments from folks who grew up in the *"That's What We're Having, Eat It Or Starve"* generation (which was oddly also Carlin's generation). I was raised right AFTER that generation: Parents weren't coddling "fussy eaters" the way I've seen people my age with kids...but there was a little room for "negotiation"☺️ There were only 2 kids in my family: me and my brother. My brother was the "fussy eater". There was a freaking list of things he wouldn't eat for various subjective reasons--not even reasons as good as Carlin's. But my folks found ways to "work around" his fussiness without starving him or capitulating: He wouldn't eat spaghetti with sauce (or anything tomato based, really). Fine. He had plain spaghetti with butter and parmesan. But no way in HELL were they going to make a second main course to accommodate him. Me? I was the guy in the chow line eating rat asshole fondue--I'd eat ANYTHING 😂😂😂😂 I *liked* the idea of eating something I'd never tried or never heard of...and if it looked weird or gross, if most people wouldn't eat it just because of what it was made from--BRING IT ON!😋 I hated, and still hate disliking foods--I consider it a waste 😔 I still try things I *know* I won't like, just to see if somehow this particular cook figured out how to make it in a way I liked... ...it actually works sometimes😉
@@kenhollis6197 For a while a few years back there was this commercial for a protein shake: Either Ensure or Boost I think. Anyway, it showed this mom grocery shopping with her kid--and the kid loudly and obnoxiously explaining how much she hated every single item her mother put in the shopping cart. Instead of laying down the law, this mother just lamented about how she worried for her ungrateful brat's health: since apparently, this kid won't eat *anything* The shake advertised was presented as a solution: a way to make sure kids who refuse to eat don't die of malnutrition. Lovely. Your children defy you--refuse the food you worked your ass off to pay for...and not one or two items, but everything you buy, for no reason whatsoever... ...and what do you do? Why, reward them with yummy chocolate shakes of course! I think the makers of this product realized the message they were sending (or they received some rather irate phone calls), because this campaign didn't last long😂 Hopefully, somebody in marketing got their ass fired😁
Well..( tiny sigh) I once was the little brother who wouldn't eat ' dirty spaghetti' but butter n parm=yum! Now I put a liberal amount of crushed red on it & like it w/hot Italian sausage too! On to Marketing..highly possible same agency that pitched Boost shakes did a more recent spot for Home Depot where kid's spilling bowl of cereal while being dragged upstairs by muddy dog. Fear not folks cuz HD install$ new carpet! All for now..
“Think about the poor children starving in India”, I was told nearly 60 years ago when I wouldn’t eat my overdone Brussels Sprouts. “Then send this to them and see if they eat it!”, was my response. Do I need to add that sitting down was not a comfortable option a few minutes after saying this?
“It came to me in a dream!” I swear, I wish I had said that when my parents tried to corner me with the same argument. It would have been worth any punishment they dished out. The answer I came up with, albeit years too late, was “I’ve never eaten a dog turd, either, but I have a pretty good idea I wouldn’t like the taste!”
I hope he's smoking a joint sipping on some scotch and a cold beer laughing up a storm with Dave Allen ... Among other greats of the like... Miss them all big time.....
I am a reforming fussy eater, and I was a big pain in the ass. Now I cook myself and others, and I always think of this bit when I’m working in a kitchen
@@funnybonesbucknewton7261 Or it just might be that what level of brains they had/have are not in use. George is a rare gift, and to those who aren't present in the here and now, [this goes for the time Carlin was live, and to them who can listen], have too much trouble getting his humor/smarts! It is there loss and our gain.
George Carlin and Richard Pryor....The 2 most insightful and legendary comics I will ever have had the pleasure to have followed throughout their careers...RIP to both of them. The tears of laughter I have spilled watching these two giants could fill a swimming pool...If there was a Mt Rushmore for comedians, you know George and Richard would be front and center...
My mom used to cook scalloped potatoes and with a 100% rate she used to burn them on one side, so they were inedible. But as a little kid she forced me to eat them. So, whenever she announced that we were having these scalloped potatoes again, I actually felt my hair stand on end!
I remember watching this entire GC special on HBO in 1982 when it was new. I was 13. My father normally wouldn't have allowed me nor my sister to be exposed to foul language, but he made an exception for George Carlin!
Lots of tea and coffee also makes you loose a lot of weight if of course you drink just them and not munch on some sweet snacks like most people do. And btw less food and portion control makes you smarter because brain works when stomach is at rest and when stomach is full all the energy flows down for digestion. That's why people who eat a lot and 3 times a day are always dumber. ALWAYS! You will never make your brain work at more than 3% of it's full potential by eating 3 times a day your regular diet that 99.9% of people on the planet eat.
Someone actually cross-bred tomatoes and developed one that was like a Green Pepper, cut off the top and the seeds all came out with it, the tomato was hollow, he said he did it because his wife always complained about cleaning out the insides and throwing it away so she could stuff it with Chicken Salad or Egg Salad. Saw them for a couple of years and then they were gone and now when I look for them or ask about them everyone says I'm nuts, that they never existed! Damn, Wish I'd kept the seeds!
When I was a kid, we had these neighbors - each and every Autumn - used to bring over their "extra" squash from out their garden. I always hated them for that :-))
Fun food fact(pico de gallo) Was was invented on Cinco de Mayo By Rico and his Brothers Paco & Bob Who is now called taco ever since He moved to the Ritz
I just finished a shift at a restaurant where a customer ordered a crazy mess of a dish that wasn't on the menu then complained that it took a long time to come out (because of course the kitchen guys took their time making it to make sure they got it right), and I needed to hear that first line tonight.
Classic George never seen this one before, just the world we know, things we all think but never say...just genius. George sees the world from the side, we all look ahead...sure miss him.
The main thing Carlin & Pryor had in common was that they both started out doing "clean" material in the 60s. Even though they were successful, they felt that they weren't being true to themselves. So they both started doing much raunchier (and funnier) material in the 70s. My impression was the transition was easier for George, his FM/AM album had both types of humor. For Richard, it took him a few years to develop a new act. In the movie Live & Smoking (I think it was around 71 or 72), he was doing the classic bits he did in the mid 70s but you could tell it was a work in progress. They were both hilarious but I think I like Pryor a little better.
That sounds like fun.Just an idea but you could use broccoli to form trees,mashed potato for your mountains and you could create a reservoir which you could fill with gravy which could be the water.That's just to start with!🤣
I'm trying to find the bit he did in the mid 70s: "... monkeys going sideways through my mind, eating macaroni". It was about being high on something, very bizarre.🤪
