One way or the other, or in the middle, I expect someone to know what they are talking about, and George always did that part. Even if I don't agree with it, I can honestly say I can see his point and understand why he thinks that way, because he actually studied what he is talking about. His thought processs was screw what this persorn says, what that person says, lets look deep into what both say, and the answer may be a combination of both, or may be in fact netither.

I always loved George's ability to "joke" about the truths that many people don't want to hear. Sometimes the truth hurts. But, one of my favorites he did, that anyone can relate to, was about "stuff".
George’s comedy makes America really look at itself for what we truly are, and what we’ve become!! A Bloated former superpower. The rest of the world has passed us! Our country is so F**k**g stupid, we elected a reality star game show host for Christ sakes!! America Jumped the Shark in 2016, and I don’t know we’ll ever recover!
@@jesterssketchbook let me answer that question with a resounding, Nope, not the vast majority of us. It's too much work for people to really do their own research about anything here. Helpful hint though and sort of a cheat sheet..... Every vote for various bills is public record. Just gotta know where to look. My advice to my fellow Americans would be that if you want to know how the politician you vited for (if they were elected) is really representing you just look at how they vote on various bills, and what their voting record over similar bills and provisions of legislation over the time they have been in office. We get the government we deserve.
@@Nimbus1701...I agree sooooo hardcore with doing your own research, I have caught former friends telling me to do my research and when I pressed them they literally got their news, aka, collecting info in order to shape their view on the world around them, from ONLY FoxSnooze and FB. I quit watching any U.S. 24hr news a about 4yrs ago, it's all such a shit show. There's so many great independent news sources out there, but even a lot of them are going to be a little bias, that's human nature, but like you said, if people would take the time to look at more sources, watch/read about both sides, no matter how bias any of the sources are, eventually you'll be able to see the cream rise and the bullshit sink,. I go anywhere from 3-4 to week long deep dives, depending how passionate I am about the issue or politician, and I always try to find a couple sources that are totally opposite/against my feelings on that issue. I always want to make sure that maybe I didn't miss some nuance or detail that makes me re-think the whole thing, or even if I don't, I think it at least gives someone a better understanding, dare I say, empathy towards people on the other side, that we're often, now a days, so quick to judge or just hate them, and I have been totally guilty of that, so not calling anyone out. Oh, another GREAT site.....If you want to know where, or who from, every single dime of campaign contributions, pac funds or any donor money for all politicians at the state and federal level came from and if it was spent properly and legally, go to... www.opensecrets.org Don't know how they do it, but they are on the ball!
We aren't scared to speak our mind, it's just that a lot of people aren't listening or refuse to listen. Only one side is willing to negotiate, the other flat our refuses. Either way, Carlin was right, politicians are just there to give us the illusion of choice/freedom while the corporations decide what's best for the country.
@@JarofMayonaise...The problem is mush bigger than that, "Only one side willing to negotiate" No matter your political leanings, that sentence wouldn't make sense in any other country in the world except two. That's because almost every country on earth has several political parties, some have 7 or 8. And they're not like our Green party, or Libertarian party that have as much power as a high school debate team, actual parties that have a legit chance at winning the election. I think it's Sweden or Finland, can't remember, they have 7 parties, but here's the best part, they are only allowed, by law, to campaign the 6mos prior to the election, and each candidate can only spend 50k on that campaign, and it is strictly monitored. I believe Madison and Adams warned of a two party system in the Federalists papers, one saying it would be the downfall of the American experiment.
@@wsmokr Naw, I'd have to politely disagree on that. For months the dems have been trying to work with the reps to no avail, even when they didn't need their votes to pass something. McTurtle himself said on the senate floor that he was not going to let a single bill get passed if he can block them, he will. He did the same thing to Obama. Just a thought on why the dems might not listen to the reps is because the reps are spreading bold face lies and misinformation. Dems might do it a little but the reps have gone full retard mode. This country is in trouble.
@@JarofMayonaise see, you disagree just like someone disagreed with you. There are different beliefs and it's not changing. Everyone believes they are the only ones right. That won't change either. At this point it is coming down to might is right and that's sad to see.
@@Alex_1729 That's a bit of a wrong idea of communism you have there, when it as idea is more democratic than capitalism. You must be talking about Stalinism when you say that just an fyi
George was a visionary. He understood the human condition to an extent that many of us never achieve. What's more is that he shared that vision with us and put it in a way that was evocative and easy to understand.
"Fuck Tucker, Tucker Sucks." is one of the simplest and greatest jokes ever told. It's just brilliant. It's rhythmic and poetic, and pretty much applies to every Tucker I know.
Look when he said this; George Carlin isn’t being mean for the sake of being mean; he’s using it to wake people up in a nice way. George Carlin saw it years ago and was ahead of his time. We need a George Carlin today in the world
We are the ones that have to change We don't get anything unless we're willing to give up something One easy thing that we can do is stop buying so much stupid shit that we don't need Stop wilfully enriching people like Jeff Bezos. I don't buy anything from Amazon. It's really easy There is no incentive for Corporate America to change as long as we make it easy for them
It's held relevance pretty much since the country was founded, American does not learn well from it's mistakes, in fact it refuses to acknowledge them..lol. History may not always repeat itself, but it at least rhymes.
@@750count...I'm glad you put that second part, for one I totally agree, and two, unfortunately in 2021, the first two lines could be said on their own by just about anyone. Someone fighting the good fight, who tired of the oppression and truly wants equality and to give all people a hand up instead of kicking down, or it could be the folks that sold their country out for a red hat. Yean, I rarely bought off Amazon before, but after the crap they pulled with their employees over covid, then last month I think, or in May, where they blatantly union busted, I deleted my account. That douche nozzle, Bezos, got divorced last year, and still made enough money in 2020, during a pandemic, to have written a check to every single one of Amazon's employees, worldwide, for 68k and still hold his title of richest man in the friggin ' world.
George Carlin and vulgarity...He's the guy that did the bit on 7 words the media wont let you use back in the 70s. He is a real thinker and likely had a ton of influence on Jon Stewart, they think alike. You should do more George Carlin, he'll make you see everything in a new way.
The vulgarity and crude humor was the seasoning he used to draw in a crowd that needed to hear the other side of his work that was very deep and meaningful. imo... Nobody else could weave fart jokes into such profound and insightful rhetoric.
George might have been crude in the first part, but the second part had so much truth that it is like consecutive punches in the gut that is already tired from laughing. This man can bring moments of clear truth into his act so well, it doesn't really stop being funny, but also enlightens people. The professor of comedy, the preacher.
Really check out more of his stand-up. He was the world's foremost comedic philosopher, and spoke truth to power while keeping you rolling on the floor. We need him now more than ever. R.I.P George.
George was the conscience of the USA, he was brutal but honest and he always held up a mirror to society and confronted people with the truth about things we dont want to see or hear. Thing is, with George the rules are different, if you feel offended by him... chances are you've been confronted with a truth that hit too close to home for you. The man was a genius who was able to step back and look at the bigger picture and pinpoint the real issues in a manner of seconds. If anything, George hated political correctness for the sake of being politically correct, he understood that you cannot be PC all the time because the PC culture often doesnt fix the problems, it only hides them and sometimes even makes it worse. Basically, if someone did get offended about what George said, then George had proven the point he was trying to make right there and then. Take this bit for instance, is he wrong? no.. he isnt... the USA is one big shopping mall, and there is a pandemic of obesity, and not your regular obesity... no.. we've all seen those 10-ton people who are bigger than your average pickup truck, and when you're that big... its not your glands causing it, its the 12 happy meals you eat before breakfast (and after, and inbetween breakfast, lunch and dinner) and those 4 whole fried chickens these people snack on in the evening. No i'm not here to offend anyone, i am just saying George wasnt wrong, most of these problems he addresses are self-inflicted and can be changed if people actually wanted to. But thats where the real issue lies, and George knew that people rather be ignorant so they can pass blame onto others... and George simply wasnt having any of that. Like i said.. George held up a mirror to society, was brutally honest and by doing what he did, he did become that conscience of the USA. (someone had to do it and he was the best at that)
@@that.ll_do_pig that is a fair point :) and yes.. he is ranting hehehe I am a fan of his works, but i too sometimes cannot laugh at what he said, but usually when that happens i can still agree with, or see the point he was trying to make. That is why i hold him in high regards because he "dared to go there" so to speak. :)
"They only give you a couple of choices. Who do you vote for?" Thats the best trick of all. I don't matter who because your (the people's) vote don't matter! They get you so worked up about the "choices" you forget to notice that their is no choice. They decide who's on the ballot and make you belive those are your only "choices" . Legally you can actually vote for anyone you want. Anyone at all. But even so it don't matter because of the electoral college. Your "representative" can just ignore what the people in his district want and vote how he/she wants with no reproductions. Welcome to America.
@@emcsquared8681 no the reason we only get 2 choices is that the Democrats and Republicans wrote the rules on who is allowed on the debate stage. If Americans never see or hear from the other candidates they won’t vote for them. The Electoral College ensures that the large cities don’t impose their will on the more rural areas. State electors are suppose to vote for the candidate the people in the state chose…it should be illegal if they don’t
@@brianross5998 that was the purpose when it started back when there wasn’t very many people in the U.S. but that’s not the case any more. The electoral college does not make sure the large cities don’t dictate elections because cities don’t vote, people do. If you have a solid message then people will vote for you.
@@emcsquared8681 I respectfully disagree. Urban and rural areas have different needs and wants. That is why cities tend to vote more for democrats and rural more republican. Without the electoral college politicians could run ads and have rallies in the 7 largest cities in the country and have enough votes to win. I agree message should be important, unfortunately I guess I’m a cynic because I don’t believe I have seen a politician ever tell the truth.
@@brianross5998 what you’re stating is a myth, it’s provably false. Instead of me typing out why (plus I can’t post charts to show percentages on here) here’s a link to a quick read explaining why it’s just not true. www.google.com/amp/s/www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/the-biggest-argument-for-keeping-the-electoral-college-relies-on-a-myth-2019-09-10
He had a short run tv show, I remember him talking to a kid in front of a newspaper stand. The kid was looking at a playboy or something, he took it away and said something like 'that'll rot your brain, here read this guns and ammo magazine' (definite sarcasm).
I remember that show. The final episode, they showed "coming attractions" for the next episode, and made it look like a really cliché sit-com wedding episode.
I remember seeing this special when I was a teenager, and it wrecked my world in the best possible way. That last punchline in this video, especially, *never* gets old.
Your reactions are really reaching out to people. I have been in a hospital bed for weeks. And I finally got to go home!!! I have seen 90% of your videos!!! Thank you!!
He knew what a Millennial was back in the 70's. His jokes are so funny his jokes make people laugh in the future... Depending what time zone you live in. I missed him 3 hrs after most of the people in New York I live in Oregon. He was an amazingly talented man who touched the hearts and funny bones of millions. ~RIP George Carlin~
But if you think a little more about it,for all the power & money they wield,there's not that many actual people in the club,relative to the population.A quote from another great comedian,"Does the name Custer mean anything to you?"--Robin Williams
Glad you watched George. He spoke the absolute truth and spared no one. He is sorely missed, as is his message of wake up and pay attention or lose everything.
Listen to him do "Baseball vs Football", and "Germs" when you watch germs think about 2020. He was wwayyyy smarter than 99.9999% of any other comic / comedian you will ever see.
The best "work" I have EVER seen were the 4 times I saw George Carlin practicing for his yearly HBO specials. He always came out with a pile of notes and explained that he "gears up" only for the Live HBO specials he did each year. That is the only reason he "hit the road". Hence, George appearing at small theaters like The Hershey theater in Hershey Pa where I saw him 3 out of those 4 times. He even said some of the material we were about too hear would not make it onto his next special. He was "testing" too see what worked, and what didn't. Very interesting, AND VERY FUNNY, watching him in that format. He talked about how he gets his material. Waking up and reading 4 newspapers and looking at online news each and every day, 6 hours worth of reading. Then writing down potential material on index cards. His daughter, Kelly, later confirmed, after his death, that her dad indeed had an entire room filled with filing cabinets mostly filled with those index cards. The man was well rehearsed and totally prepared when he did his annual HBO "Live" Specials. This is why you rarely hear him stumble on his words or lose his train of thought. He was a master at his craft. He is quite simply, The G.O.A.T.
George Carlin was a different type of comedian. He was HIGHLY intelligent and a hilariously ruthless social and cultural critic. He was no bullshit...even if it was painful.
15 people are shopping and eating. " Probably has a nice after bite to it. " Damn, that was the funniest part of the video. I about lost it there. This is why I can not listen to you at work. Top Shelf man. Top Shelf. Keep up the good work Leo. Much love fam.
@Mr.Video George carlin was my generations hero! If you ever want to go down the rabbit hole with him, you will find great validation, in who you are. Your so intuitive and smart!
"We eat good in America" Allow me to rephrase for you, Leo: you dont eat good in America, you eat A LOT. Quantity over quality is the way of life when youre surrounded by bottomless breadsticks and All You Can Eat for $5. Quantity over quality. Unless its home cooked, locally and sustainably sourced, you dont eat GOOD, you eat A LOT.
Welcome back Leo!!!!! 🥰 love some george carlin. He just called it like it is..uses humor to get the point across. I wish he was still around, I can only imagine at his stuff now with this crazy world.
His thought process and verbal gymnastics are what make him legendary. You don't have to agree but, follow his logic and the conclusion will make you at least say, "I see where he was going!". That's how public discourse and politics should be presented!
I remember heading to an Appleby's in Minnesota and we stuck out like a sore thumb. Everyone in there was massive. I think they all knew immediately that we were from Canada. We have big people too but not like that. I've never felt so tiny. On that same trip we went to a Hardees for the first time. My Mum picked up the burger to take a bite. The burger was so big I couldn't see her face. We both burst out laughing. It was a funny day.
Growing up in the 70's George Carlin was everything. Thanks for exploring. You should check out his Toledo Window Box routine. Totally you. Thanks Mr. Video. Cheers
REACT TO MORE CARLIN BRO!!!! Loved this reaction. He literally is the GOAT. Nobody back then, and nobody today, especially COMEDIANS are talkin that REAL shit like this.
"they only give you a few choices so who do you vote for?" VOTE FOR 3RD PARTIES AND PEOPLE WHO AREN'T ASSOCIATED WITH THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT AT ALL.
WHY? Now you know! So happy you are back. We genuinely miss you when you are away! George Carlin is a brilliant legend. His comedy shines a bright light on the flaws of humanity.
This was before comedians were getting "cancelled" and they can say shit that offended people. Chapelle knows how it is. Its sad, comedy is supposed to offend and make you think a different way, and make you laugh and feel better of course. Love Bill Burr for his don't give a shit attitude like Carlin.
George Carlin is a comic icon and he always will be. Back in the day early in his career. He was arrested down south because of his jokes about the 7 words that you couldn't say on television. He believed in free speech. Whether it was friendly speech, or not and he was always completely real and well educated about what was and still is going on in the world. I remember when he even played Mr. Conductor on the kid's show Thomas the tank engine. He was an awesome human being. May he rest in peace 🕊️❤️☮️ Mr. video say whatever you want because we got your back!
Now you know George Carlin‘s comedy was and is genius. I definitely recommend watching more of his stuff. His goal was to entertain and be funny, but his material was real.
Nice work again! George thinks like a lot of us do, he was just a hell of a lot more brilliant and eloquent when it came to breaking it down into its simplest forms.
You have to watch ALL of George, to get what he's saying. He's absolutely right. We, as a nation, have become an embarrassing, sad group. After the last 4 years, we're a worldwide laughing stock. I wish more had listened to him. We can be better... we just have to want it. 🤜🏼🤛🏼❤
Everything this man has said has come to pass! Prophetic! Scary that we as people don’t come together and fight back but they have us divided and it’s only going to get worse!
He was an old-school performer, so much so this act was the first that it began to feel like he was writing material in the case of his inevitable death. Since he's old school though- Everything in his act is there because he let it be, after a year or two of rehearsing it. I saw him live- He would break and do crowd work, but for the most part, his shows were like one-man plays. He was amazing. His "7 Words You Can't Say" comedy bit is amazing. As for his politics SPECIFICALLY, one of his more famous bits is arguing why you shouldn't vote.
George Carlin wasn’t nice, he was real.
The one he made on religion was an outstanding masterpiece

not pc liberal. a dying breed today.
Word 👊🏼!
George’s comedy makes America really look at itself for what we truly are, and what we’ve become!! A Bloated former superpower. The rest of the world has passed us! Our country is so F**k**g stupid, we elected a reality star game show host for Christ sakes!! America Jumped the Shark in 2016, and I don’t know we’ll ever recover!
This may be the most insightful social media post I have ever heard from an American citizen in a long time.
i gotta admit, from Australia im kinda like "do they know politics isnt a TV show?"
@@jesterssketchbook let me answer that question with a resounding, Nope, not the vast majority of us. It's too much work for people to really do their own research about anything here. Helpful hint though and sort of a cheat sheet..... Every vote for various bills is public record. Just gotta know where to look. My advice to my fellow Americans would be that if you want to know how the politician you vited for (if they were elected) is really representing you just look at how they vote on various bills, and what their voting record over similar bills and provisions of legislation over the time they have been in office. We get the government we deserve.
@@Nimbus1701...I agree sooooo hardcore with doing your own research, I have caught former friends telling me to do my research and when I pressed them they literally got their news, aka, collecting info in order to shape their view on the world around them, from ONLY FoxSnooze and FB. I quit watching any U.S. 24hr news a about 4yrs ago, it's all such a shit show.
There's so many great independent news sources out there, but even a lot of them are going to be a little bias, that's human nature, but like you said, if people would take the time to look at more sources, watch/read about both sides, no matter how bias any of the sources are, eventually you'll be able to see the cream rise and the bullshit sink,. I go anywhere from 3-4 to week long deep dives, depending how passionate I am about the issue or politician, and I always try to find a couple sources that are totally opposite/against my feelings on that issue. I always want to make sure that maybe I didn't miss some nuance or detail that makes me re-think the whole thing, or even if I don't, I think it at least gives someone a better understanding, dare I say, empathy towards people on the other side, that we're often, now a days, so quick to judge or just hate them, and I have been totally guilty of that, so not calling anyone out.
Oh, another GREAT site.....If you want to know where, or who from, every single dime of campaign contributions, pac funds or any donor money for all politicians at the state and federal level came from and if it was spent properly and legally, go to...
www.opensecrets.org Don't know how they do it, but they are on the ball!
TRUMP WON, PEOPLE
He’s telling the truth
Don't be scared to speak your mind I like this man especially when he's talking about politics.❤
We aren't scared to speak our mind, it's just that a lot of people aren't listening or refuse to listen. Only one side is willing to negotiate, the other flat our refuses. Either way, Carlin was right, politicians are just there to give us the illusion of choice/freedom while the corporations decide what's best for the country.
@@JarofMayonaise...The problem is mush bigger than that, "Only one side willing to negotiate" No matter your political leanings, that sentence wouldn't make sense in any other country in the world except two. That's because almost every country on earth has several political parties, some have 7 or 8. And they're not like our Green party, or Libertarian party that have as much power as a high school debate team, actual parties that have a legit chance at winning the election.
I think it's Sweden or Finland, can't remember, they have 7 parties, but here's the best part, they are only allowed, by law, to campaign the 6mos prior to the election, and each candidate can only spend 50k on that campaign, and it is strictly monitored. I believe Madison and Adams warned of a two party system in the Federalists papers, one saying it would be the downfall of the American experiment.
@@JarofMayonaise Neither side wants to listen.
@@wsmokr Naw, I'd have to politely disagree on that. For months the dems have been trying to work with the reps to no avail, even when they didn't need their votes to pass something. McTurtle himself said on the senate floor that he was not going to let a single bill get passed if he can block them, he will.
He did the same thing to Obama.
Just a thought on why the dems might not listen to the reps is because the reps are spreading bold face lies and misinformation. Dems might do it a little but the reps have gone full retard mode. This country is in trouble.
@@JarofMayonaise see, you disagree just like someone disagreed with you.
There are different beliefs and it's not changing. Everyone believes they are the only ones right. That won't change either. At this point it is coming down to might is right and that's sad to see.
No you should be able to criticize the government. don’t stifle yourself
People should not fear their government. Governments should fear the people.✌️
@@shawnward7659...Key word being "should"
If you don't criticize government, what are you left with? This is not communist country, is it? You must criticize, always, but productively
@@Alex_1729 That's a bit of a wrong idea of communism you have there, when it as idea is more democratic than capitalism. You must be talking about Stalinism when you say that just an fyi
George was a visionary. He understood the human condition to an extent that many of us never achieve. What's more is that he shared that vision with us and put it in a way that was evocative and easy to understand.
Can you imagine what wisdom we have missed since his passing? Would love to hear him today. 💜
I (49) grew up with hearing his humour. My Dad (73) is the one who introduce me to George Carlin. This man is a genuine genius!
I got to see him 3 times in the 90's. Best nights ever!
I am so envious! Lol
I saw him about 9 months before he passed away. One of the most memorable nights in my life
💯❣️
🤣🤣 Check out GC - “Airport Security” “Guys Named Todd” “Stupid People”.... 🤣🤣
"I'll bet you 10 out of 10 times, Nicki, Vinnie, and Tony will beat the sh!t out of Kyle, Todd, and Tucker." = GOLD!
"Fuck Tucker, Tucker Sucks." is one of the simplest and greatest jokes ever told. It's just brilliant. It's rhythmic and poetic, and pretty much applies to every Tucker I know.
Airport Security is priceless... don't watch before taking a flight, or you'll likely get into trouble for mocking security.^^
George is the *GOAT* Leo!! 😂✊💯 So many to choose from him! I love no filter! 😂
💯
Look when he said this; George Carlin isn’t being mean for the sake of being mean; he’s using it to wake people up in a nice way. George Carlin saw it years ago and was ahead of his time. We need a George Carlin today in the world
And to think this special was 16 years ago and it still holds relevance. Just goes to show you that nothing is going to change in this dystopia.
We are the ones that have to change
We don't get anything unless we're willing to give up something
One easy thing that we can do is stop buying so much stupid shit that we don't need
Stop wilfully enriching people like Jeff Bezos. I don't buy anything from Amazon. It's really easy
There is no incentive for Corporate America to change as long as we make it easy for them
It's held relevance pretty much since the country was founded, American does not learn well from it's mistakes, in fact it refuses to acknowledge them..lol. History may not always repeat itself, but it at least rhymes.
@@750count...I'm glad you put that second part, for one I totally agree, and two, unfortunately in 2021, the first two lines could be said on their own by just about anyone. Someone fighting the good fight, who tired of the oppression and truly wants equality and to give all people a hand up instead of kicking down, or it could be the folks that sold their country out for a red hat.
Yean, I rarely bought off Amazon before, but after the crap they pulled with their employees over covid, then last month I think, or in May, where they blatantly union busted, I deleted my account. That douche nozzle, Bezos, got divorced last year, and still made enough money in 2020, during a pandemic, to have written a check to every single one of Amazon's employees, worldwide, for 68k and still hold his title of richest man in the friggin ' world.
George Carlin and vulgarity...He's the guy that did the bit on 7 words the media wont let you use back in the 70s.
He is a real thinker and likely had a ton of influence on Jon Stewart, they think alike.
You should do more George Carlin, he'll make you see everything in a new way.
7 dirty words loved that bit also good one is Stuff
The vulgarity and crude humor was the seasoning he used to draw in a crowd that needed to hear the other side of his work that was very deep and meaningful. imo... Nobody else could weave fart jokes into such profound and insightful rhetoric.
George might have been crude in the first part, but the second part had so much truth that it is like consecutive punches in the gut that is already tired from laughing. This man can bring moments of clear truth into his act so well, it doesn't really stop being funny, but also enlightens people. The professor of comedy, the preacher.
Really check out more of his stand-up. He was the world's foremost comedic philosopher, and spoke truth to power while keeping you rolling on the floor. We need him now more than ever. R.I.P George.
George was the conscience of the USA, he was brutal but honest and he always held up a mirror to society and confronted people with the truth about things we dont want to see or hear.
Thing is, with George the rules are different, if you feel offended by him... chances are you've been confronted with a truth that hit too close to home for you.
The man was a genius who was able to step back and look at the bigger picture and pinpoint the real issues in a manner of seconds.
If anything, George hated political correctness for the sake of being politically correct, he understood that you cannot be PC all the time because the PC culture often doesnt fix the problems, it only hides them and sometimes even makes it worse.
Basically, if someone did get offended about what George said, then George had proven the point he was trying to make right there and then.
Take this bit for instance, is he wrong? no.. he isnt... the USA is one big shopping mall, and there is a pandemic of obesity, and not your regular obesity... no.. we've all seen those 10-ton people who are bigger than your average pickup truck, and when you're that big... its not your glands causing it, its the 12 happy meals you eat before breakfast (and after, and inbetween breakfast, lunch and dinner) and those 4 whole fried chickens these people snack on in the evening.
No i'm not here to offend anyone, i am just saying George wasnt wrong, most of these problems he addresses are self-inflicted and can be changed if people actually wanted to.
But thats where the real issue lies, and George knew that people rather be ignorant so they can pass blame onto others... and George simply wasnt having any of that.
Like i said.. George held up a mirror to society, was brutally honest and by doing what he did, he did become that conscience of the USA. (someone had to do it and he was the best at that)
Sure but I don't find him funny and that's my issue. Definitely not offended. It doesn't sound like comedy, it sounds like somebody ranting to me. 🙃
@@that.ll_do_pig that is a fair point :) and yes.. he is ranting hehehe
I am a fan of his works, but i too sometimes cannot laugh at what he said, but usually when that happens i can still agree with, or see the point he was trying to make. That is why i hold him in high regards because he "dared to go there" so to speak. :)
"They only give you a couple of choices. Who do you vote for?" Thats the best trick of all. I don't matter who because your (the people's) vote don't matter! They get you so worked up about the "choices" you forget to notice that their is no choice. They decide who's on the ballot and make you belive those are your only "choices" . Legally you can actually vote for anyone you want. Anyone at all. But even so it don't matter because of the electoral college. Your "representative" can just ignore what the people in his district want and vote how he/she wants with no reproductions. Welcome to America.
The electoral college is superannuated, we don’t need it any more and it’s the one thing standing in the way of us having more choices
@@emcsquared8681 no the reason we only get 2 choices is that the Democrats and Republicans wrote the rules on who is allowed on the debate stage. If Americans never see or hear from the other candidates they won’t vote for them. The Electoral College ensures that the large cities don’t impose their will on the more rural areas. State electors are suppose to vote for the candidate the people in the state chose…it should be illegal if they don’t
@@brianross5998 that was the purpose when it started back when there wasn’t very many people in the U.S. but that’s not the case any more. The electoral college does not make sure the large cities don’t dictate elections because cities don’t vote, people do.
If you have a solid message then people will vote for you.
@@emcsquared8681 I respectfully disagree. Urban and rural areas have different needs and wants. That is why cities tend to vote more for democrats and rural more republican. Without the electoral college politicians could run ads and have rallies in the 7 largest cities in the country and have enough votes to win. I agree message should be important, unfortunately I guess I’m a cynic because I don’t believe I have seen a politician ever tell the truth.
@@brianross5998 what you’re stating is a myth, it’s provably false. Instead of me typing out why (plus I can’t post charts to show percentages on here) here’s a link to a quick read explaining why it’s just not true.

He had a short run tv show, I remember him talking to a kid in front of a newspaper stand. The kid was looking at a playboy or something, he took it away and said something like 'that'll rot your brain, here read this guns and ammo magazine' (definite sarcasm).
I remember that show. The final episode, they showed "coming attractions" for the next episode, and made it look like a really cliché sit-com wedding episode.
Why? Now you know.
“Your stuff is shit. My shit is stuff.” -George
George was WAY ahead of his time.
Carlin is brutal and vulgar but he definitely says it like it is. He has no filter. Good to have you back Leo 👍😂👍
💕☮️💕
I remember seeing this special when I was a teenager, and it wrecked my world in the best possible way. That last punchline in this video, especially, *never* gets old.
He spoke his mind no matter if it upset people. Loved him. RIP
George Carlin the GOAT. now you know. if he could rap, he would be Slim Shady.
Don’t be afraid of the government, Mr. Video. WE THE PEOPLE are actually still very powerful.
Before we became the land of the offended! Shit is hilarious!
Love Mr. Carlin ❣️ He didn’t have any filters. I applaud him for that. There will never be another George Carlin ❣️
Your reactions are really reaching out to people. I have been in a hospital bed for weeks. And I finally got to go home!!! I have seen 90% of your videos!!! Thank you!!
He knew what a Millennial was back in the 70's. His jokes are so funny his jokes make people laugh in the future... Depending what time zone you live in. I missed him 3 hrs after most of the people in New York I live in Oregon. He was an amazingly talented man who touched the hearts and funny bones of millions. ~RIP George Carlin~
You just witnessed the G.O.A.T. - He had no equal and never will.
There is a quote by Friedrich Schiller(1759-1805),a german poet and philosoph : The mighty will cease to rule when the small cease to crawl ; -)
"It's a big club, and you ain't in it!"
But if you think a little more about it,for all the power & money they wield,there's not that many actual people in the club,relative to the population.A quote from another great comedian,"Does the name Custer mean anything to you?"--Robin Williams
Glad you watched George. He spoke the absolute truth and spared no one. He is sorely missed, as is his message of wake up and pay attention or lose everything.
Listen to him do "Baseball vs Football", and "Germs" when you watch germs think about 2020. He was wwayyyy smarter than 99.9999% of any other comic / comedian you will ever see.
Yes! I love that you watched this! George Carlin is my childhood, and adulthood hero. He has had more influence on me than anything else ever.
"It's a Big Club and We're Not In It" is his best set.
The best "work" I have EVER seen were the 4 times I saw George Carlin practicing for his yearly HBO specials.
He always came out with a pile of notes and explained that he "gears up" only for the Live HBO specials he did each year. That is the only reason he "hit the road".
Hence, George appearing at small theaters like The Hershey theater in Hershey Pa where I saw him 3 out of those 4 times.
He even said some of the material we were about too hear would not make it onto his next special. He was "testing" too see what worked, and what didn't.
Very interesting, AND VERY FUNNY, watching him in that format.
He talked about how he gets his material.
Waking up and reading 4 newspapers and looking at online news each and every day, 6 hours worth of reading.
Then writing down potential material on index cards.
His daughter, Kelly, later confirmed, after his death, that her dad indeed had an entire room filled with filing cabinets mostly filled with those index cards.
The man was well rehearsed and totally prepared when he did his annual HBO "Live" Specials.
This is why you rarely hear him stumble on his words or lose his train of thought.
He was a master at his craft.
He is quite simply,
The G.O.A.T.
George Carlin was a different type of comedian. He was HIGHLY intelligent and a hilariously ruthless social and cultural critic. He was no bullshit...even if it was painful.
6:23
"This is deep."
George: "Do these people fuck? "
I got to see him live back in the 90s, he is awesome
My Dad used to listen to George Carlin in the car on cassettes! Lol He was the REAL thing!
"Saving the planet" is another gem from George Carlin. Hope you react to it.
George Carlin was fearless... genius, philosopher.. & so funny.RIP .🇸🇪💜😇👌🙏❤️😱. love from Sweden.
15 people are shopping and eating. " Probably has a nice after bite to it. " Damn, that was the funniest part of the video. I about lost it there. This is why I can not listen to you at work. Top Shelf man. Top Shelf. Keep up the good work Leo. Much love fam.
Swear I keep coming back here because of the way he says, "There's different linksss....." 🤣🤣 Love you, guy!
He ain’t lyin. 🤣
@Mr.Video George carlin was my generations hero! If you ever want to go down the rabbit hole with him, you will find great validation, in who you are. Your so intuitive and smart!
"We eat good in America"
Allow me to rephrase for you, Leo: you dont eat good in America, you eat A LOT. Quantity over quality is the way of life when youre surrounded by bottomless breadsticks and All You Can Eat for $5. Quantity over quality.
Unless its home cooked, locally and sustainably sourced, you dont eat GOOD, you eat A LOT.
Superman eats good. You eat well.
meanwhile in North Korea...
That's what he means
Ooh look out, we've got a European middle schooler in the house!
Preach
I saw him in 2004, absolutely Brilliant! I was laughing so hard, I was in tears.
Carlin is like a preacher.. but an honest one
Welcome back Leo!!!!! 🥰 love some george carlin. He just called it like it is..uses humor to get the point across. I wish he was still around, I can only imagine at his stuff now with this crazy world.
Yep Gilbert Gottfried. The Aristocrat story 👍👍
His thought process and verbal gymnastics are what make him legendary. You don't have to agree but, follow his logic and the conclusion will make you at least say, "I see where he was going!". That's how public discourse and politics should be presented!
Half of the commercials on TV are for the medicine you need to ward off the side-effects of all the 5h!77y 'food' they sell you on the other half.
Carlin was just known for lecturing the crowd, and we loved him for it. He was just a clever, and hilarious professor.
Your best comedy reaction yet! The Great Philosopher Carlin’s finest hour. This one’s getting shared big time.
This man knew ahead of us about things we now try to fight...
Sometimes the truth isn't nice....
I remember heading to an Appleby's in Minnesota and we stuck out like a sore thumb. Everyone in there was massive. I think they all knew immediately that we were from Canada. We have big people too but not like that. I've never felt so tiny. On that same trip we went to a Hardees for the first time. My Mum picked up the burger to take a bite. The burger was so big I couldn't see her face. We both burst out laughing. It was a funny day.
Finally, you get to the genius of George Carlin. Do his routines on germs, religion and sports.
Growing up in the 70's George Carlin was everything. Thanks for exploring. You should check out his Toledo Window Box routine. Totally you. Thanks Mr. Video. Cheers
“When the people fear the government there is tyranny. When the government fears the people there is liberty.” - Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson was a rapist so I don’t take his advice
REACT TO MORE CARLIN BRO!!!!
Loved this reaction.
He literally is the GOAT.
Nobody back then, and nobody today, especially COMEDIANS are talkin that REAL shit like this.
"they only give you a few choices so who do you vote for?" VOTE FOR 3RD PARTIES AND PEOPLE WHO AREN'T ASSOCIATED WITH THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT AT ALL.
WHY? Now you know!
So happy you are back. We genuinely miss you when you are away!
George Carlin is a brilliant legend. His comedy shines a bright light on the flaws of humanity.
This was before comedians were getting "cancelled" and they can say shit that offended people. Chapelle knows how it is. Its sad, comedy is supposed to offend and make you think a different way, and make you laugh and feel better of course. Love Bill Burr for his don't give a shit attitude like Carlin.
You should do more Carlin reactions. He got ALOT of very fun and important shows out there.
Don Rickles & Rodney Dangerfield are both great for more stand-up comedy!
George Carlin is a comic icon and he always will be. Back in the day early in his career. He was arrested down south because of his jokes about the 7 words that you couldn't say on television. He believed in free speech. Whether it was friendly speech, or not and he was always completely real and well educated about what was and still is going on in the world. I remember when he even played Mr. Conductor on the kid's show Thomas the tank engine. He was an awesome human being. May he rest in peace 🕊️❤️☮️ Mr. video say whatever you want because we got your back!
Can't go wrong with Carlin. I'd love to see you react to Sam Kinison or Bill Hicks.
I’ve been repping Hicks and Kinison for months, can’t wait!!!!
Now you know
George Carlin‘s comedy was and is genius. I definitely recommend watching more of his stuff. His goal was to entertain and be funny, but his material was real.
Nice work again! George thinks like a lot of us do, he was just a hell of a lot more brilliant and eloquent when it came to breaking it down into its simplest forms.
Who owns the malls, who owns the banks... every single time. Carlin spoke alot of truth about how things really work.
You have to watch ALL of George, to get what he's saying. He's absolutely right. We, as a nation, have become an embarrassing, sad group. After the last 4 years, we're a worldwide laughing stock. I wish more had listened to him. We can be better... we just have to want it. 🤜🏼🤛🏼❤
As if it’s any better now. Wake up.
I was lucky enough to see one of his shows in Vegas...Brilliant man
George Carlin is one of the most honest human beings that ever lived!
Philosopher/Comedian. George Carlin will always be remembered
Everything this man has said has come to pass! Prophetic! Scary that we as people don’t come together and fight back but they have us divided and it’s only going to get worse!
So glad you found what George Carlin this guy's my idol
He was an old-school performer, so much so this act was the first that it began to feel like he was writing material in the case of his inevitable death. Since he's old school though- Everything in his act is there because he let it be, after a year or two of rehearsing it. I saw him live- He would break and do crowd work, but for the most part, his shows were like one-man plays. He was amazing. His "7 Words You Can't Say" comedy bit is amazing. As for his politics SPECIFICALLY, one of his more famous bits is arguing why you shouldn't vote.
Welcome to the world of George Carlin. Everything he has said surrounds us today. Top respect
