Did you forget to list an adjective between "very" and "content?" What was it? Mature? Edgy? Wise? Vulgar? Sexual? Controversial? Political? Harsh truth? Insightful? Heavy? Even if a school did allow such heavy content to teach kids these things at a young age, it wouldn't be appropriate because of George Carlin's cursing and what he said about jamming a red, white and blue Richard in our rear. One does not simply teach kids swears.
It's always been true since December 23, 1913. President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal act,that was the moment the government gave all its power to private business.
At this point there's little that can be done to stop at least half of us dropping dead and they know it and can be quite open about their contempt now.

George Carlin went from slapstick comedy in his younger years, to spitting truth in the most cynical fashion imaginable. People stopped going to his shows to hear comedy and started going to his shows to get informed on what's going on in this country because people started realizing, something is amiss.
I did the same. Remember vividly seeing this show and thinking " Damn, George is getting cranky in his old age". Now I'm older and realize it's not crankiness...it's awakening.
I don't watch GC to laugh about his comedy. I watch him to pay attention to his message. He was warning people about what was going on but it seems to be that most people were not getting the message.
What I hate about this is when people say he was ahead of his time, the truth is that he was right then and he is right now, it’s just no one ever learns. He’ll be right tomorrow too fyi
Hit it right on the mark. He wasn't ahead of his time, he was just aware of how this country has functioned and will always function. George was able to make points that celebrities now aren't allowed to announce.
His comedy went over most people's heads. The people that got the jokes were called conspiracy theorists. They don't care about us but yet they claim the V will protect us. R.I.P. George
God we need Carlin so bad right now in these crazy ass times!! He was way ahead of his time. He predicted a lot of what’s going on right now. He was a great comic and a great philosopher at the same time. Gone too soon my friend! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
What would he do if he were here today? I mean he already did his job of warning us. Thoroughly. He would just be talking in circles at this point if he were still around. In fact he'd actually probably realize it was a waste of time trying to get people to listen and just retired on his own accord by now. He knew he was going to die soon, and I'd argue that if it wasn't for that fact we likely wouldn't have got the amazing work he did towards the end that he left us with. These shows were his last hoorah.

There was something about this era - we had George Carlin, Christopher Hitchens and Patrice O'Neal.

They were all taken from us too soon. RIP, gentlemen.
George Carlin really descended into some dark recesses of cynicism as he got older.... and all of it fully justified. The poor SOB is gone now but his dire warning to the American people is more important now than ever. Only in America does it take a talented comedian with balls big enough to hold council with the truth in front of millions.
The sad fact is he sitting there telling people how they're getting screwed and they're laughing at him about it but in real life you still have people so naive that they don't believe nothing like this could ever happen in the USA
This should play at the entrance to the voting booths! A vote agreeing with the establishment and mainstream news,is a vote against your best interests!
One of the good things about the net is that it preserves gems like this (so far) for anyone to see. I have little doubt this Orwellian age will allow it much longer so enjoy it while you can. Be happy with what you got, cuz it ain’t getting any fuckin’ better.

I've been trying to tell people this for many years, but most just don't believe me. This information is covered in several documentaries. Sadly most American's would much rather live in complete ignorance, than know what Carlin was saying here. The importance of this talk can't be overstated enough. Thanks.
@@lexyswope It is completely natural they didn’t need to be told. People want rich mates to ensure the survival of them and their offsprings. The only thing they don’t understand is that this kind of consumerism is exactly whats going to kill them and our children. Increasing GDP is the number one cause of humanity’s problems. Yet everyone wants more, because the ones with the most money are the last to suffer the consequences. Its a game of chicken, and everyone loses by default. The only thing that changes is the timestamp on your grave. That’s all we are fighting for.
I love how he repeats his points to really drive it home. This man was a visionary he saw things no one else did and he used his platform to inform others. This man was a true American.
He saw things nobody did? Like what? Wasteful consumption? Unfettered hedonism? These things have been affecting Americans since the beginning of this country. Carlin is saying nothing that philosophers haven't said for thousands of years. Funnily enough while Carlin points out obvious flaws with the system he presupposed all the same liberal values that led to where we are now. He as much as anyone is a hypocrite.
@@DontDrinkthatstuff tech billionaires practically controlling the government and the media to further their own agendas. He saw through the bullshit of capitalism.
@@DatzMagic_82 I whole heartedly agree with the capitalism critique. The problem is Carlin doesn't go all the way and question foundational beliefs and how these have led to this technocratic nightmare that we're all heading into willingly due to the comfort it provides.
When people are so disconnected from reality by the Media & dumbed down public education that the only successful way to get a message through is from a comedy stage. I don't entirely blame the problem on willingly ignorant Americans. I still see that we have people who are hardworking, & are doing their best to pay their taxes & obey the laws of the land. We have all been lied to & exploited practically from birth- - so the blame for that & the hatred for that DOES NOT go to the duped & the exploited, it goes to these megalomaniac, self-appointed demi-gods we call the rich & powerful; the 1-5% Elite
The older I get the more I see the gaping holes in capitalism and the behavior it brings out in human beings. Hopefully one day we'll be enlightened enough to discover a resource based economy but the super wealthy would never allow that to happen
Carlin's theory is that the corporations are running the country his theory is not logical though because if big corporations were in control of the country they would have legalized Marijuana 50 years ago and cocaine 40 years ago
It's an American thing, derived from a culture heavily laced with Hollywood buffoonery. In the rest of the world, it'd seem weird if you started clapping & yelling when being given advice

Worthy of the Library of Congress.
When you get to the root of George's success, it's honesty. Simple explanation of everything. Here's what I think, take it, leave it, whatever.
When the audience goes from laughing to silence to just clapping, you know it's 100% facts being told.
I remember watching this show as a teenager saying to myself, "Damn, is this true?" Little did I know back then!!!
After 13 years YT rendomely recomend George Carlin's video which makes more and more sense today in 2022...
George Carlin really descended into some dark recesses of cynicism as he got older.... and all of it fully justified. The poor SOB is gone now but his dire warning to the American people is more important now than ever. Only in America does it take a talented comedian with balls big enough to hold council with the truth in front of millions.
Recesses of cynicism are usually profound Truths. Why ,has America and Americans stayed so numb.
The sad fact is he sitting there telling people how they're getting screwed and they're laughing at him about it but in real life you still have people so naive that they don't believe nothing like this could ever happen in the USA
They're just ignorant fools that are destroying themselves
I saw George Carlin along time ago when I finished a shift at my crappy retail job, he opened my eyes!
Good
It's tradition for me to come to this video every election day to remind me that the U.S system is broken.
This should play at the entrance to the voting booths! A vote agreeing with the establishment and mainstream news,is a vote against your best interests!
everyone in 2021 needs to hear this
Slavery was never abolished, it just became voluntary 🙏
He seems like talking about right now ! The show is from 12 years ago , RIP
The video is from 12 years ago. The show is from 20 years ago
One of the good things about the net is that it preserves gems like this (so far) for anyone to see. I have little doubt this Orwellian age will allow it much longer so enjoy it while you can. Be happy with what you got, cuz it ain’t getting any fuckin’ better.
there hasn’t been any decent politicians around this country in over 200 years !
Just 200?! It’s been longer than that. The politicians who started this country weren’t great either
There not even honest either!
Absolutely brilliant facts. Same in UK.
Double this in Canada.
@@drew6194 facts can’t wait to leave Chinada. At least in certain states they had enough of this trash.
Man, this guy was well ahead of his time... i just hope his words help to wake the people up right now
You know will this piece go down in history as one of the greatest ever..so many years later and the quote( its a big club and you aint in it) is more popular now in 2021 than when it was released so many years ago, it stuck, well said george R.I.P
Faxxx
Absolute legend, hope he will never be forgotten
I don't know how anyone can laugh at this when its blatantly obvious that it's true and very depressing. What a guy RIP.
I think it's the delivery that makes it have a humorous side to it. Carlin was great.
can we acknowledge the irony of how “Property of HBO” pops up on this late legend’s work once he talks about “the owners”???
Strange as it is, George didn’t end his career as a comedian, he became more of a speaker, with the occasional laugh.
I've been trying to tell people this for many years, but most just don't believe me. This information is covered in several documentaries. Sadly most American's would much rather live in complete ignorance, than know what Carlin was saying here. The importance of this talk can't be overstated enough. Thanks.
tell me those documentaries
They were propagandized that owning stuff showed your worth.
@@lexyswope It is completely natural they didn’t need to be told. People want rich mates to ensure the survival of them and their offsprings. The only thing they don’t understand is that this kind of consumerism is exactly whats going to kill them and our children. Increasing GDP is the number one cause of humanity’s problems. Yet everyone wants more, because the ones with the most money are the last to suffer the consequences. Its a game of chicken, and everyone loses by default. The only thing that changes is the timestamp on your grave. That’s all we are fighting for.
They refuse to wake up to reality because they know there life's are destroyed
Comfortable lies vs uncomfortable truth
I love how he repeats his points to really drive it home. This man was a visionary he saw things no one else did and he used his platform to inform others. This man was a true American.
He saw things nobody did? Like what? Wasteful consumption? Unfettered hedonism? These things have been affecting Americans since the beginning of this country. Carlin is saying nothing that philosophers haven't said for thousands of years. Funnily enough while Carlin points out obvious flaws with the system he presupposed all the same liberal values that led to where we are now. He as much as anyone is a hypocrite.
@@DontDrinkthatstuff tech billionaires practically controlling the government and the media to further their own agendas. He saw through the bullshit of capitalism.
@@DontDrinkthatstuff no he was a comedian, he made jokes about shit he genuinely held no political view.
@@DatzMagic_82 I whole heartedly agree with the capitalism critique. The problem is Carlin doesn't go all the way and question foundational beliefs and how these have led to this technocratic nightmare that we're all heading into willingly due to the comfort it provides.
@@DatzMagic_82 He was a liberal. Like most people in this country. Most people pre-assume enlightenment ideals and Carlin was no different.
This guy was brilliant! Miss you George😔
The real people’s president.
Agreed
Brilliant truth telling with a humorous twist
When people are so disconnected from reality by the Media & dumbed down public education that the only successful way to get a message through is from a comedy stage. I don't entirely blame the problem on willingly ignorant Americans. I still see that we have people who are hardworking, & are doing their best to pay their taxes & obey the laws of the land. We have all been lied to & exploited practically from birth- - so the blame for that & the hatred for that DOES NOT go to the duped & the exploited, it goes to these megalomaniac, self-appointed demi-gods we call the rich & powerful; the 1-5% Elite

this is as relevant today as it was then. thank you Mr Carlin. you called it
George Carlin and Richard Pryor playing chess with god
2024, RIP George carlin, people are realizing your words now and see through all this parody of democracy
Such truth... It's like a prediction of 2020-2021.
Berry berry, 😂😂 of course.... from 2017,2018,2019 also
The more people who wake up to this……..the quicker we can get our country back.
Lol. Yeah okay. You can’t get “back” what you never had in the first place.
I doubt that,our country will never come out of this
I’m curious bo…what makes you think we can?

I love comedians that not only make you laugh, but they speak intelligently on stage. George Carlin, Eddie Griffin and Chris Rock!
The older I get the more I see the gaping holes in capitalism and the behavior it brings out in human beings.
Hopefully one day we'll be enlightened enough to discover a resource based economy but the super wealthy would never allow that to happen
George always spoke the truth and it’s sad people just blindly go along with what they’re ordered to do. We can do better!
Carlin's theory is that the corporations are running the country
his theory is not logical though
because if big corporations were in control of the country they would have legalized Marijuana 50 years ago and cocaine 40 years ago
George Carlin foreshadowing !
This still holds true today.
Saw George when I was in college back in '86 what he was laying down back then I'm still picking up now.
George: "They don't care about you."
Audience: (claps) "WAHOO!!!!"
Smh. Sad but true
It's an American thing, derived from a culture heavily laced with Hollywood buffoonery. In the rest of the world, it'd seem weird if you started clapping & yelling when being given advice
Slaves clapping for there death
And his words have come so true during this Covid era
Such profound, eloquent and, yet, savage, truth. How did we allow ourselves to get to this stage?
Our society now is very retarded now without him
2 things Biden and Blue Party.
@@mkombat5started long before Biden. Ask the Kennedies.
Because bored people don't say no
Ignorance, disinterest in the well being of our society, and greed on the individual and corporate level my friend
Ending 2021 and this man spoke the truth! Bless you George Carlin.
Exactly. There's a club and we aren't in it.
1,250 miles ahead of his time, God I miss this man
There are 3 types of "people" out there
1. LIBERAL
2.CONSERVATIVE
3. INTELLIGENT
I agree what Carlin said about the owners.
And “we the people” all fight with each other, while we are really on the same side .. while “ Them The People” keep running 🏃♂️ off with all
the gold ..
Just as true today.
I totally agree when i found this guy i laughed like you then realised that man spoke the truth R.I.P George loved you wish I had found you earlier
George Carlin is the original red pill
This is profoundly true... I wish Carlin was around today to hear his take on our dystopia...
A man ahead of his time. Truly missed
