"If honesty was suddenly introduced into Politics, it would throw everything off, the whole system would collapse"-George Carlin More true than ever in 2022.
So true. I met one candidate for a republicans and used all the bullet points. Later he stayed around to talk to the people. I was one of the last. I asked if he really believed what he said. His response after looking around to see if anybody could hear was a soft no.

sho_1uv, actually Hurley is not wrong. the 1600's were still ripe with slavery in every known country across the globe, it was even used in Africa itself by several rival tribes (even till this day by the militias there). the only countries that were somewhat against slavery, but big on indentured servant-ism were Ireland, Japan, French-ruled districts of what is now known as Canada, Norway, Sweden, and Germany. virtually every other country either used slaves, or was used as a marketing hub for them, grounds for capturing/ kidnapping people for the slave trade, or were conquered in some petty war or conquest and had its populations captured and sold as slaves. like it or not, human trafficking was big during that time-period, and though it's diminished greatly, its still practiced by several underground groups these days within the criminal element.
Very underrated set. Maybe in his top five. A blend of different types of George (funny, political/business critic, religious critic). Pure legendary comedy.

George left us over 14 years ago. As of today there isn’t anyone close to his observations. All comics have a space in their careers where things come together. George had his low points as well. But when he got it right no comedian has been close. The majority of George’s work didn’t insult us. He did do some pathetic fart jokes. It also seems some comedians have two acts to choose from. People seem to laugh more and easier when you have alcohol in you. This is the reason that many shows enforce a two drink minimum. COME BACK TO THE STAGE GEORGE, WE NEED YOU NOW MORE THEN EVER!

Just remember ppl if we somehow manage to fix this mess... if... he don't care either way, and wants no part in rejoice. Even if he's an inspiration to think, realize, and change for the better.
And just remember they're trying to reverse this, why else would it be hip to be square / boring / an ignorant sheep and into the latest bull crap fiction instead of saving awesome nature that's been here for thousands and millions of years? The world has literally gone insane more than not, so being actually insane is actually pretty cool and warranted... Obviously this is 'satire' and not legal advice xD
Citizen of the Republic marketing is simply the principle of getting your product known and convincing people to buy it. If you product *will* make people's lives better, or make them feel good, what is unethical is to *not* market it. Just like a shovel, you can use it to kill or you can use it to build. What matters is what you do with it (just so happens most use it to sell bullshit rather than make you happy) If doctors and scientists were bad salesmen no one would ever get healed.
I’ve watched this over and over again. It feels fresh and relevant in 2022 and only further confirms his unique type of genius. I’m in awe of his brilliance ✨
He was a 'profit' of modern times! I really wish George was still with us. The way things have gone these days...I wish I could hear his take on things currently!
My dad took me to see George Carlin at a relatively rinky-dink venue, in my tiny state's capitol. I saw the "You're All Diseased" show (still my favorite one of Carlin's) from within the first few rows of the stage, at the age of sixteen or seventeen. He even delivered one quip while conspicuously leaning out and staring at *me.* Naturally, I had a *blast.* But at the time I didn't even recognize the man from having been on Shining Time Station, much less as a legendary groundbreaking comedian. Only in later years (when I became more culturally aware) did I realize my *sheer good fortune.* I hadn't just had a night of entertainment highly sought after, even in the far more cosmopolitan places where Carlin normally had shows. During his gig that legend of comedy took clear note of my presence, and (if only in the tiniest way) made me part of his act.
+Cookie Monster™ Like some kind of chipmunk on meth. Hopefully he dies / has died in an entertaining way. Maybe gathering vast amounts of intestinal gas and spontaneously exploding?
Seems to me you didn’t understand his bit in any way… bullshit was always around…only thing that has changed are the millions of Whitney little bitches like you, that think they have a certain place in history reserved for them because it’s 2022 now and you suffer so hard from commenting from your iPad…ffs grow a pair… listen to him and understand what he is saying…idiot..tard
Mmmm 2 of those...onstage he was very intense. He did settle down by the time he was on comedy central as a regular host, and (seemed to) love his time as Rufus.
@Raspian Kiado Socrate’s society publicly executed him for “poisoning the minds” of the youth. The ideal society that he envisioned, as depicted in the book The Republic, was very different to the Athenian government that put him in a hemlock.
KerayZ he was a disgrace, he should have weighed his words, he is way out of line, but he probably was never taught how to talk about something you don’t agree on with class.
No wonder they killed him. Why anyone votes in the USA or the UK is beyond me, as all politicians are vile, corrupt, deviate scumbags. BUT the general population have a room temperature IQ, so they get away with it. Checkmate.
Ivor Biggun You might just be right my friend, in the world of today there are so many overfunded bullshit intelligence agencies protecting our "freedoms" one loses the fucking count!
It's hard to imagine how much more transparently full of shit a human being can be than Trump. But Americans always impress with just how long they will go. I can't wait to see what kind of shitshow will transpire in the coming years.
When he puts it that way... the "almighty" kinda sorta sounds a little bit like a mean drunk of a deadbeat dad with a gambling problem... doesn't he? ^^
Beautiful. This is EXACTLY why I use Adblock, listen to an mp3 player in the vehicle, and flip the channels on TV. I am so SICK of commercialism. God Bless George Carlin.
I worked with George Carlin in the 1990s. He was a gentle man with a big heart. I'm gay. He couldn't have cared less. He loved everyone... except phonies and liars. (And, unlike Tim Allen who swore at everyone during our photo shoot, George didn't curse at anyone. He treated everyone with respect.) I miss him. Genius comic.
I stand in awe of Carlin's ability to write, memorize, and deliver these epic hour-long verbal feasts that so precisely satirize all facets of American culture.
So, in 1998 or 1999 I saw him do his 1st show on this bit, which was a HBO Special, in Las Vegas at Bally’s. Had a trade show out there and as I looked for shows to see in advance, I called my Boss and he said “Let’s Do It, how much?” Tickets were $75. Our table was 2 row from the stage, and I must’ve made eye contact with him a dozen times. It was easy to see he was really checking the audience for feedback. It was a surreal experience, probably the equivalent of a dream you say “You’ll never believe this dream I had…” I’d love to hear him do some shtick on pronouns & gender. Mercy.
Well common sense is a mistake in itself since if it was common everyone would have it so I guess we should just call it sense from now on and common sense should just be another phrase for bullshit
I really like this comment. My take on common sense is that it was common sense a long time ago when there was still some critical thinking in the world. Example, there was a time when people didn't need to be told it was a bad idea to try and take a selfie while trying to teabag a great white shark or piss on an electric fence while doused in petrol. In the time we live in the uncommon sense is where you want to be because then at least you have any kind of remnant of sense as opposed to none at all
eeeeh. he was a bitter jaded man with a lot of frustrations related to how heart renchingly soul rending the world was turning toxic. At least in his view. Unfortunatly comedy stages were one of the few veniews left him. It was comedy in the in the court joker sense. the person who knows the only safeway for him to say what he needs, is as comedias, to illuminate. Not reely thinking mans stand up, or stand up at all. a very frustrated recovering addict having to stay busy is more like it.
Really? He's not funny at all and he seems like a total prick. I could listen to every word this idiot has ever said throughout his whole life and never even chuckle. He's not funny and people who say he is have no concept of humor.
Remember Dolly the Sheep, the first genetically cloned living thing? If I had anything to do with it, I would have ordered a 100 cloned copies of this genius of a comedian, as America needs a 100 George Carlins now. Yessir, I would have his likeness carved out of the mountainside too, and have his statue installed in every townhall of every city in this country. Too, I would make it compulsory for young school-going kids to watch all his comedy episodes as part of their required curriculum. They need to grow up acquiring a healthy rejection and dislike for the kind of things infesting this country, and against which George Carlin had campaigned so beautifully. Juvenile the Satirist from ancient Roman times would have taken his hat off for this great man himself.
I believe he was a "comedian" because this way he would reach more people and he could have the chance of "free speech" think about it. If he was labeled something else, he would have been restricted and held back from his ideologies and opinions. His "speeches/lectures" I'm calling it that. Come across a bit comedic because of his delivery but are 100% true.
I am, for all intents and purposes, a binative speaker, with one of my native languages being English. However, I couldn’t even imagine myself putting down so many different words in either of my two tongues. He must have extensively rehearsed for this, as his speech/show was so remarkably well put together. I applaud this man and may he rest in peace.
Eric Crawford Hmm. Yes. But don't forget the way one delivers a message also affects how people perceive it. I like Russell Brand but I might see how some people might feel his highpitch voice is a little bit annoying.
Gonçalo Veiga I think Brand's trying to achieve too much, too soon, and he's a charlatan. If he hadn't have even met Kate Moss, he'd be a no one, let alone a living deity ''informing'' anyone about his plans for a ''Socialist Egalitarian Society''. Yeah, it all sounds good, but it'll never happen. He's not an anthropologist, and doesn't take into account the way ANY group of people eventually segregate. As far as his ''delivery'', he just sounds like a cockney chav. So it makes him more popular, not the opposite.
Eric Crawford : Brand was married to Katy *Perry*, not Kate Moss, and nobody had ever even heard of Perry before 2007, whilst Brand has been a successful comedian since 2004, 6 years before he married Perry. The 2 years he was married were largely uneventful, and certainly didn't do anything magical for his career. As for your sarcastic reference to "Socialist Egalitarian Society", maybe you could explain what's so fucking great about the dystopian _fascist_ society we currently have to endure, especially for the 80% of us who live in abject poverty?
He must have rehearsed hours and hours to so easily rattle off those lists. His cadence and patterns of putting the words together just right is genius. A maestro of using language.

he probably just watched one too many t.v. commercials ...

Miss him. Need that wit to get out of the funk.
Rise up, stay sober, resist, and laugh loudly in the faces of your deceivers!
🖖
Just remember ppl if we somehow manage to fix this mess... if... he don't care either way, and wants no part in rejoice. Even if he's an inspiration to think, realize, and change for the better.
This man changed my life many years ago, really opened up my eyes to the world around us.
Same here.
And just remember they're trying to reverse this, why else would it be hip to be square / boring / an ignorant sheep and into the latest bull crap fiction instead of saving awesome nature that's been here for thousands and millions of years? The world has literally gone insane more than not, so being actually insane is actually pretty cool and warranted... Obviously this is 'satire' and not legal advice xD
Same here man
unfortunately, I had to live it until I realized how much sense he made.
You become more synical as you get older,I've always looked objectively at life anyway,it's called being me.
he was the truest jester. he poked a hole in every absurdity that people accepted as normal
Hands down the greatest comedian to ever live. No other comes close.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
George had a genuine grip on reality.
George never gets old, his insight and humor. Been listening for 50 years.
So true. Will always be remembered as a man for all seasons. No one comes close.
Don’t depend on George for eternal security.
He was a comedic God who made life situations funny.
ya to pull this off with no stuttering or forgetting or running out of breath or anything is pure genius. well done good sir!
George's logic applies to all of our ages. This could apply to all of the future
"Advertising sells you things you don't need and can't afford that are over priced and don't work" boom

Haha yeah just watch the videos by Vivian. Vivian tries she debunked all this crap that they advertise
What is boom?
Ok boom
as a student studying marketing and business management.....this is fucking spot on.
If you have any integrity that's one career path you're destined to suck at.
This is advertising not marketing ..
Marketing is a bigger more important, useful word.. If you are. Studying marketing you would know what I mean.
Same shit, different scale.
Citizen of the Republic haha
Citizen of the Republic marketing is simply the principle of getting your product known and convincing people to buy it.
If you product *will* make people's lives better, or make them feel good, what is unethical is to *not* market it.
Just like a shovel, you can use it to kill or you can use it to build. What matters is what you do with it
(just so happens most use it to sell bullshit rather than make you happy)
If doctors and scientists were bad salesmen no one would ever get healed.
I’ve watched this over and over again. It feels fresh and relevant in 2022 and only further confirms his unique type of genius. I’m in awe of his brilliance ✨
AMEN!!
He was a 'profit' of modern times!
I really wish George was still with us. The way things have gone these days...I wish I could hear his take on things currently!
My dad took me to see George Carlin at a relatively rinky-dink venue, in my tiny state's capitol. I saw the "You're All Diseased" show (still my favorite one of Carlin's) from within the first few rows of the stage, at the age of sixteen or seventeen. He even delivered one quip while conspicuously leaning out and staring at *me.*
Naturally, I had a *blast.* But at the time I didn't even recognize the man from having been on Shining Time Station, much less as a legendary groundbreaking comedian. Only in later years (when I became more culturally aware) did I realize my *sheer good fortune.* I hadn't just had a night of entertainment highly sought after, even in the far more cosmopolitan places where Carlin normally had shows. During his gig that legend of comedy took clear note of my presence, and (if only in the tiniest way) made me part of his act.
George had balls regardless of what anyone thought about him and thinks about him.
George wasn't going to waste energy on what human beings thought of him. And rightly so, most people are fucking idiots

We need George Carlin's brutal honesty so badly in 2022. Political correctness is gotten out of hand.
"It always amuses me people think that bullshit comes from certain places. Bullshit is everywhere!"
Seems to me you didn’t understand his bit in any way… bullshit was always around…only thing that has changed are the millions of Whitney little bitches like you, that think they have a certain place in history reserved for them because it’s 2022 now and you suffer so hard from commenting from your iPad…ffs grow a pair… listen to him and understand what he is saying…idiot..tard
I am a Brit. Never heard of George but he is brilliant! His religion bit was just pure quality, every theology student should listen to it
The irony is that while listening to him , I felt like buying whatever he was selling.
BULLSHIT
I concur
Limited edition bullshit
So, it works then.
@@user-lh2hx5xf4e High quality bullshit..
Socrates said that the three things necessary for a healthy society were Purpose, Entertainment, and Contemplation. Carlin embodied all three.
Mmmm 2 of those...onstage he was very intense. He did settle down by the time he was on comedy central as a regular host, and (seemed to) love his time as Rufus.
Purpose?
@@JDG-hq8gy to wake people up and make them question all the bullshit that they are programmed to just go with
@Raspian Kiado Socrate’s society publicly executed him for “poisoning the minds” of the youth. The ideal society that he envisioned, as depicted in the book The Republic, was very different to the Athenian government that put him in a hemlock.
@@JDG-hq8gy I thought Plato wrote The Republic?
“But he loves you” 😂
I’ve seen that bit a thousand times and the delivery still makes me laugh. Utter brilliance in mocking how ludicrous religion is.
I swear George Carlin could see the future.
Everything he Has Ever joked about as far as government and people are spot on !!
He really was a genius. RIP George
Rest in Peace...I think he would find that hilarious.
KerayZ he was a disgrace, he should have weighed his words, he is way out of line, but he probably was never taught how to talk about something you don’t agree on with class.
As Richard Jeni once said "If the USA was a living person, it'd be a car salesman with a flame thrower"

I miss both Richard and George; both were brilliant..
This is not comedy, this is a sophisticated introspection in the man's society with no regrets. just astonishing
He mocked and explained whole way of business advertising in first 2.30 minutes. What a genius. George Carlin, we love you.
A genius who is still relevant today. I love this man and his realistic honest insight about our society.
Too.bad that he died. I would give anything to hear what he would hear what he wouod have said about today's politicals!!
Probably the most intelligent American I have ever seen.
Brilliant! :-)
Interesting. PS I reckon Mossad is behind the Paris shootings.
No wonder they killed him.
Why anyone votes in the USA or the UK is beyond me, as all politicians are vile, corrupt, deviate scumbags. BUT the general population have a room temperature IQ, so they get away with it. Checkmate.
Ivor Biggun You might just be right my friend, in the world of today there are so many overfunded bullshit intelligence agencies protecting our "freedoms" one loses the fucking count!
You can always tell when a politician is lying. Their lips move.
I wish he was still around today. His insights are so SO accurate and we need more people of those revealings today!
One of THE GREATEST philosophers of our time. Without a doubt..!!!!
2019 This is so relevant. Will still be in 2119. RIP George...sorely missed.

It's hard to imagine how much more transparently full of shit a human being can be than Trump. But Americans always impress with just how long they will go. I can't wait to see what kind of shitshow will transpire in the coming years.

in my opinion...

p40 tomahawk would love to see him skewer “ethical billionaires”
B JP Bernie Sanders lol
ASeasonedWitch all of his truths still apply.
Especially right now
He was a gormet comic
"But he loves you. He loves you... and he needs money! He's all knowing, all powerful, just not great with money."
True
When he puts it that way... the "almighty" kinda sorta sounds a little bit like a mean drunk of a deadbeat dad with a gambling problem... doesn't he? ^^
This man is not just a comedian. He is a prophet
It's so beautiful that this video keeps on without advertisements.
Beautiful. This is EXACTLY why I use Adblock, listen to an mp3 player in the vehicle, and flip the channels on TV. I am so SICK of commercialism.
God Bless George Carlin.

Yeah because having a car isnt commercialism.

I worked with George Carlin in the 1990s. He was a gentle man with a big heart. I'm gay. He couldn't have cared less. He loved everyone... except phonies and liars. (And, unlike Tim Allen who swore at everyone during our photo shoot, George didn't curse at anyone. He treated everyone with respect.) I miss him. Genius comic.
Used to listen to his brother Pat on wdst radio Woodstock for his 4:20 daily show.
I like Tool Time, but I think Allen is highly arrogant and selfloving (the bad way).

Not, he just knew
I like to think I'm Timothee Chalamet in a leather gimp suit.

So, in 1998 or 1999 I saw him do his 1st show on this bit, which was a HBO Special, in Las Vegas at Bally’s. Had a trade show out there and as I looked for shows to see in advance, I called my Boss and he said “Let’s Do It, how much?” Tickets were $75. Our table was 2 row from the stage, and I must’ve made eye contact with him a dozen times. It was easy to see he was really checking the audience for feedback. It was a surreal experience, probably the equivalent of a dream you say “You’ll never believe this dream I had…”
I’d love to hear him do some shtick on pronouns & gender. Mercy.
If we had more comedians like him today maybe America would wake.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Dude was a Genius no doubt. his ability to dissect serious real issues to their bare core is extraordinary
Is he not alive ?
@@shantie66 um, no dear, the great George Carlin has since passed. He is now torturing the god he so loved to clown.
You mean common sense?
Well common sense is a mistake in itself since if it was common everyone would have it so I guess we should just call it sense from now on and common sense should just be another phrase for bullshit
I really like this comment. My take on common sense is that it was common sense a long time ago when there was still some critical thinking in the world. Example, there was a time when people didn't need to be told it was a bad idea to try and take a selfie while trying to teabag a great white shark or piss on an electric fence while doused in petrol. In the time we live in the uncommon sense is where you want to be because then at least you have any kind of remnant of sense as opposed to none at all
George Carlin, the thinking man's comedian
Or the laughing man's philosopher.
Both
eeeeh. he was a bitter jaded man with a lot of frustrations related to how heart renchingly soul rending the world was turning toxic. At least in his view. Unfortunatly comedy stages were one of the few veniews left him. It was comedy in the in the court joker sense. the person who knows the only safeway for him to say what he needs, is as comedias, to illuminate. Not reely thinking mans stand up, or stand up at all. a very frustrated recovering addict having to stay busy is more like it.
Really? He's not funny at all and he seems like a total prick. I could listen to every word this idiot has ever said throughout his whole life and never even chuckle. He's not funny and people who say he is have no concept of humor.
@@joevid1992 to each his or her or now a days its own . He spoke real talk now a days gen is soft and he spoke truth lol that's the gag listen to him
Holy shit, I think the writers for Wolf on Wall Street came up with half of their scenes from this bit.
Remember Dolly the Sheep, the first genetically cloned living thing?
If I had anything to do with it, I would have ordered a 100 cloned copies of this genius of a comedian, as America needs a 100 George Carlins now. Yessir, I would have his likeness carved out of the mountainside too, and have his statue installed in every townhall of every city in this country. Too, I would make it compulsory for young school-going kids to watch all his comedy episodes as part of their required curriculum. They need to grow up acquiring a healthy rejection and dislike for the kind of things infesting this country, and against which George Carlin had campaigned so beautifully. Juvenile the Satirist from ancient Roman times would have taken his hat off for this great man himself.
He's all powerful and wise, just can't handle money :)
He loves you and he NEEDS MONEY!!!
Yup. The struggle is real. So am I

Must be 18 years or older to order

Quite possibly the greatest social commentator of all time. RIP George, you are immortal.
2022 and everything he says is STILL true.
RIP = Return If Possible
If politicians were honest, they wouldn't be politicians.
I believe he was a "comedian" because this way he would reach more people and he could have the chance of "free speech" think about it. If he was labeled something else, he would have been restricted and held back from his ideologies and opinions. His "speeches/lectures" I'm calling it that. Come across a bit comedic because of his delivery but are 100% true.
I am, for all intents and purposes, a binative speaker, with one of my native languages being English. However, I couldn’t even imagine myself putting down so many different words in either of my two tongues. He must have extensively rehearsed for this, as his speech/show was so remarkably well put together. I applaud this man and may he rest in peace.
he loves you, and he needs money.
If he was ''hawt'' spoke in a cockney accent and wanted to try and change society, Russell Brand, would you have same opinion?
Eric Crawford Hmm. Yes. But don't forget the way one delivers a message also affects how people perceive it. I like Russell Brand but I might see how some people might feel his highpitch voice is a little bit annoying.
Gonçalo Veiga I think Brand's trying to achieve too much, too soon, and he's a charlatan. If he hadn't have even met Kate Moss, he'd be a no one, let alone a living deity ''informing'' anyone about his plans for a ''Socialist Egalitarian Society''. Yeah, it all sounds good, but it'll never happen. He's not an anthropologist, and doesn't take into account the way ANY group of people eventually segregate. As far as his ''delivery'', he just sounds like a cockney chav. So it makes him more popular, not the opposite.
Eric Crawford : Brand was married to Katy *Perry*, not Kate Moss, and nobody had ever even heard of Perry before 2007, whilst Brand has been a successful comedian since 2004, 6 years before he married Perry. The 2 years he was married were largely uneventful, and certainly didn't do anything magical for his career.
As for your sarcastic reference to "Socialist Egalitarian Society", maybe you could explain what's so fucking great about the dystopian _fascist_ society we currently have to endure, especially for the 80% of us who live in abject poverty?
***** Obsidian was used as currency as early as the 9th millenium BC i think, how old is earth according to god?
