Yes time is a very strange concept. I just visited my country Hungary for two weeks after 5 years !! and met my former classmates who I did the graduation with and all I saw around in the country that nothing had changed just the people started aging 😮😮
No matter how many decades passes, his work will continue to stay relevant precisely because We're Barely Out Of The Jungle On This Planet, and we'll remain so for a long time
We need leaders like this man!!! It blows my mind how insane things have become. Its like the twilight zone! The left now hstes free speech, and loves War!!! He must be rolling over in his grave lol
Don't think so. Just very skilled at reminding us of what we already know. That humans are capable of unspeakable evil. We think we're at the apex of everything on this planet but in reality, we're at rock-bottom.
It’s just that he grew up so long ago that he probably never got to try it out without the law at or lawyers at his throat which could always end up being financially difficult or impossible 👍🫵✌️🇺🇸😃
He was talking about what they do in the industry and what they do in cults. But it went over every ones heads. He spoke 20 years into the future. Legendary
I remember hearing this for the first time and being awe struck by how dark George went with LIWL. This is probably one of his greatest works it is just upsetting to know how dark things must have been inside George’s head. To consign one’s self to such a degree of hopelessness cannot be mentally good. It’s not that he is wrong about any of it, it is that it dwelled within him and at the end of his days he still felt like there was no turning humanity around. For a mind as articulate and functional as his, it really paints us in an awful circumstance.
Why would how smart he is have anything to with his perception of humanity? It shouldn’t take a guy like George Carlin to point out that humanity isn’t going anywhere.
We who expect the worst, are not caught off-guard when it shows up. Sometimes we can just be pleasantly surprised when it doesn't happen. And there is nothing since George left us that has changed his conclusion. Only reinforced it...
Watching this after 2 years since the covid-19 pandemic started and oh my God how true were you mr. Carlin...We like to think we are intelligent but we are barely out of the f***ing jungle.
"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more but have less, we buy more but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge but less judgment, more experts yet more problems, more medicine but less wellness." ~George Carlin
@@billfrenk7881You'd be wrong. He rehearsed every word, movement, facial expression. Over and over. That's why it seems so natural. The way he rattles off lists of things, that doesn't come off the top of his head. If you do some research on him, you'll see that what I'm saying is true.
What's even more amazing is there are people who think he was just riffing. If you do some digging about him, you'll find that he rehearsed every word, inflection, movement, facial expression. Over and over. I love how he'll rattle off long, long lists of things like firing out of a machine gun. Many hours of rehearsal.
The more I watch George, the more I realize he NEEDED to be a comedian. He was too smart for any other career path. The stage was the only place where he could afford to ask so many questions without playing dumb.
@fuzzfac3942 who are you? My boss? Father? GOD? even if you were , I would tell you to stfu. You are not authorized to tell me anything about how I feel , do or control anything in my life. You chill dawg and tf outta here with the bullshit
why are the ppl laughing, it is no joke, he is correct we are that close being back to killing each other as a species over basic stuff. I admire his skill to present it so coherently and swiftly.
Everyone’s just laughing in the room not realizing how dark this is and true it is. Especially when the inmates get out. I’m guessing everyone started to laugh from being uncomfortable
I think he had enough of this world. Let him rest in peace, he earned it. But we will always have his amazing analysis of the human planet with a sarcastic point of view.
Starting at 3:20, what George Carlin said is literally what the Joker said in the interrogation scene of The Dark Knight, even if the character said it many years after Mr. Carlin. '' When the chips are down, these...these civilised people...they will eat each other. '' Remember that. Both Mr. Carlin and the Joker are anarchists. They create trouble, because it's fun, but more than anything, they show to people who they really are, they tend to society a mirror in which the fundamental lie of life appears and that lie is that life is a bad joke and we create these so called values to maintain an appearance of decency while deep down we never ceased to be beasts '' barely out of the jungle ''. Here is the full circle. Like Harvey Dent/Two-Face said at the end, '' There is no escape from this ''. Think it through, ladies and gentlemen.
After hearing about the events in Israel, this feels very relevant. There are so many comparisons you can draw, it's like he predicted what happened, the man was a prophet
We got a taste of it with covid-19 and I know that everyone wants to forget about it but it didn't take much before people were fighting over toilet paper.
My brother in law, a retail worker, was punched when he tried to stop a guy walsing off with a whole crate of toilet paper at Tesco’s. My brother in law’s colleague threw the guy out of the store and they gave him a lifetime ban. This is what covid did to the human brain!
@@Kidge.6081 Yep, the Joker from The Dark Knight was right and basically people are full of **** and they just spit out a bunch of meaningless words to make themselves feel noble and good. I mean look at the school shootings people only care when it goes AGAINST the plan. If the public found out that a bunch of children in a ghetto were accidentally shot during a drive by shooting nobody panics because it's all part of a plan, it's supposed to happen there but when they say a bunch of children got shot in American suburbia "WELL EVERYONE LOSES THEIR MINDS!"
Best part is that it was government created. Pentagon and NSA have been running simulations for decades, not in our interest, but theirs. Then we ask, what is the NSA’s interest? Wanna take a fucking guess? It’s about control and turning us against each other for votes. Same as the anthrax attacks. Pretty funny that the 2 senators who got anthrax were the ones blocking the patriot bill. Even funnier we blamed it on terrorist and used it as a justification of war. The US needs to grow the fuck up, stop throwing away our “rights” and go refresh the tree of liberty so we can fuck up the country all over again.
Fighting over toilet paper?? Not in the second rate country that I live in. So, America, maybe... PS. If you think that covid was a taste of world collapse - you really have a serious lack of imagination.
As far as I’m concerned there is not a “post covid world”….just a post compliant world… to me covid wasn’t a thing…covid was a litmus test for the population…a test to see jf people will just believe everything put in front of them and then blindly believe a solution or “antidote” or whatever you wanna call it… and 30% of the population took 4 “antidotes”….but yet right now right before another election there is rsv pneumonia flu vaccines covid vaccines….I’m sure you get the picture
You miss Carlin's philosophy completely. The reason his material is still relevant today is because he took on the powerful.

I haven’t watched much George’s comedy but after seeing this recommended video by my friends. I agree with every word of this speech. Maybe a little overstated and neglecting to mention human compassion but only by a little.
Just now realizing it's been 15 years since George passed away and it seems like yesterday. Thanks for what you gave to humanity. R,I,P,

I heard someone say time is actually speeding up. Like objectively even.

Wow! 15 years
No matter how many decades passes, his work will continue to stay relevant precisely because We're Barely Out Of The Jungle On This Planet, and we'll remain so for a long time
I been watching George again, he's predicted many things that have come true to bite us is our asses
But, why... there’s more to our story than we’re being told.
If he could only see how far we've declined in that short amount of time.
@@ChatGPT1111Wtf, You're supposed to be doing my homework...! 🤨

Went over your head silly one
George Carlin is up there with Diogenes looking down on us and comparing notes for sure !
up where?

Only George could terrify you and make you die laughing simultaneously.

Glad someone said it. I love George and all of his insights, but I feel like I need to mentally shower in optimism after watching him.
What I find interesting, astounding is, he was telling the truth and people laughed at it. Now look at what is going on in the USA.
Look at what Trump has brought forth.....
We who expect the worst, are not caught off-guard when it shows up. Sometimes we can just be pleasantly surprised when it doesn't happen. And there is nothing since George left us that has changed his conclusion. Only reinforced it...
George is LUCKY not to see how bad things got in 2023. And 2023 still resembles the good old days!
Be a lot worse once the power goes out

🎉😅❤happy new years!++÷=%
Omg. What a quote
Once again, George proves that he’s a philosopher with a sense of humour. We really are just overly intelligent animals
did you say "overly" 😂😂😂😂😂
Not to mention: who think way to highly of themselves
he wasn't so funny as much a he was a cranky old man
@@billyb4790 you’ll never find something funny that is not your type of humour, simple as that.
The GREATEST stand up comedian & philosopher we had in 100 years! Thank you George for opening our eyes little bit wider!👍 R.I.P.
Bill Ricks too
The genius and magic of Carlin is FOREVER
This MAN is right about everything. He's disappointed in what's become of humanity, like many of us have become 😢
"Society is 2 missed meals away from collapse"
What always amazed me is how he never stammered or trip over words! How many hours he rehearsed would be interesting.
True, but I think a lot just came from his heart...on the fly.

His parents were both accomplished public speakers and I think that talent ran in the family
They'll find this clip 100,000 years from now
and it will still be relevant.
The more I watch George, the more I realize he NEEDED to be a comedian. He was too smart for any other career path. The stage was the only place where he could afford to ask so many questions without playing dumb.
So glad I got to see him perform and I'm only in my early 30's, what an honor it was
You lucky bastard!!!
Aww, I wish I could have seen him 😢

Bring this kind of comedy back plz!!!

He knew that all-out nuclear war was only a matter of time
Cause it's a stand-up?
Even a minor plague had us at each other's throats.
Are you really bitching about a STAND UP show from CARLIN? You got r/wooshed by people laughing.
Everyone’s just laughing in the room not realizing how dark this is and true it is. Especially when the inmates get out. I’m guessing everyone started to laugh from being uncomfortable
I’m sure you’re not the only one who figured it out, Einstein.
Still one of the most powerful bits in comedy, but the truth.
Technology changes, fashion changes, people don’t change.
Carlin's brilliance is timeless. 🙃
S.O.L. and J.W.F. - It remains an unfathomable mystery how the same country can produce George Carlin and George Santos.
Hahaha 😂
