      I love innocent Carlin. The stuff he did when he was older really is the grounds on which today's comedians stand, but they've made those grounds so worn out. I like a break from all the controversies and whiny conspiracy theories. Carlin's earlier stuff is a breath of fresh air in today's environment.

      Makes me wonder what the next social media website will be in the future that could possibly replaced Facebook. Or we'll possibly all be hooked up to VR or augmented reality headsets. Now everybody's there and not there at the same time, including their digital avatars. Then the God particle will develop with a unified field and we'll be in an alternate dimension to be able to reduce ourselves into gas molecules that dissolve into the upper stratosphere, separating in space into ionized electric charges of plasma moved by a magnetic field to form wavelengths of light energy as photons, x rays, and gamma rays cooled, slowed down, and condensed back into liquefied covalent organic molecules into our solidified selves, just to be reprogrammed again by the avatars of our own imagining. We will welcome these genomic digital cosmic overlords and worship them as divine beings with the belief in reincarnation by the wonders of regenerative medicine and modular genetic switches of cellular transcription into any organism phenotype we want to have with the help of recombinants and transposons.

    I love how his earlier comedy was more just satirizing different aspects of regular life and making fun of the absurdity. The older he got, the more his absurdism turned to nihilism, the fewer jokes he was making, the more he was just making statements of fact.

    • @Hirnlego999
      @Hirnlego999  5 років тому +51

      If you read his last book he says that he was often attacked for making fun of small things, that he brought nothing new to the table. This made him move closer to big ideas, more timeless things... he also found it funny to bring up ideas which people do not want to think about, this is why he talked quite a bit about uncomfortable topics.. you might not laugh the first time you see it as much as regular comedy, but many keep coming back to it, and that's why Carlin is part of pretty much any list of influential comedians.

      @@Medytacjusz Yep. The older Carlin became, the less comedy and funny he was doing. It went to the point of nearly no comedy. How is that for "comedian"? And how come nobody drew the line in what was a true comedian's job? To keep you laughing and happy while they're up on the stage. Talking "truths" is not funny. If it is, it's to brush off the fear one perceives from such truth. Doesn't make it "comedy" or "humour" though.
      Agreed, absurdity of regular life and unnoticed observations are timeless and define stand-up comedy (especially when all-ages audiences are considered). The next defining topic is vague sexual references, like what came out of Vaudeville and actors like Laurel & Hardy. Not directly talking about people fucking but being risky and enough to get a child in trouble for spinning such a thing on the turntable. Times have changed so much and we forget what real comedy is.

      @@SPNKr16 I think the older he was getting, the more he wanted to make his work 'relevant' in the sens that he cared less and less about pleasing the crowd (his career established somehow, he was less fighting to be on the stage and more fighting for what we were left with once he's off the stage) and more and more about making the audience think, not just dozing them off with some laugh. Despite his imperfectness, I think he was trying to make the world a better place in his own way and what I remember Goerge for is this, when fooled, would you know if you have been folled ?

    A dazzling and insightful fellow who knew how to convey, while putting his ideas forth and make you laugh in the process. Mr. Carlin zealously delivered his controversial and spirited presentations without looking at notes which demonstrated a remarkable knowledge of history, cultures, and capability to memorize an enormous amount of information, facts, and stories old and recent. George Carlin was simply "one of a kind" Thanks to the Internet; we can today appreciate and value his work as he brightens up the globe with laughter. George; the world misses you and will never be the same without you!

    Wow. I'm so glad that George Carlin was the type of comedian who changes up their routine. Could you imagine him still doing this in the '90s or '00s? He'd never be able to book a gig.

      Hiro Fox this was a TV show in 1975. In 1975 if you wanted to be a comedian on television you had to work clean or you wouldn't be on television if you saw him in a nightclub in 1975 he was doing shit like the 7 dirty words that can't be said on TV or radio so you see the problem with doing that act on TV

      He got to the point where he would do a routine, do it, scratch it and start fresh. It's a very difficult thing to do. It's why you don't hear a lot of repeated stuff from him.

    For people who don't think this is funny, remember that comedy has changed significantly since then and George is partly the reason it did. But even if you don't find this funny, you have to appreciate the man's command of stage and showmanship. These are the techniques he used, along with mastery of language, to make his social commentary that much more hilarious.
