This Guy was not a comedian...he was a philosopher, a therapist, a genius, a warrior and a legend...his comedy is like a therapy session for me....He knew human race so well and gave up on the stupidity of it....u will be missed Mr Carlin.
I completely agree,he was more than just a comedian.. would have been interesting to see how he would have reacted to today's world were everything just got worse and went down the tubes :)
Man, I miss this guy. Saw him live a few years before he passed away, and I'm glad i did. A true comic legend. He adapted to remain contemporary and was a damn genius on stage.
So many comedians nowadays think they need to yell their punchlines, but Carlin's subdued, slightly confused "What tubes?" Will never fail to make me belly laugh.
Do those people that start a sentence with "As a something" and then finish the sentence that has nothing to do with the as a part piss you off? It's really bad English and it pisses me off

Carlin was definitely the best comedian ever! No one comes close. A true icon. We need his comedy these days. His social commentary on the idiots most people are is priceless.
One of the greatest comedian's to ever have walked the earth. This guy has taught me so much and she's so many topics in a different light. He left too soon with so much knowledge to share, especially this day and age. So much shit going on in this world, it's hard to find people with this kind of humor. This man was a true genius and in my opinion, a genuine person.
The intelligent dissection of human life told in a hilarious way. Examining human behavior and questioning why we do what we do. God I miss this guy. GOAT!
The realest person of his time, the late great George Carlin, before his time. The greatest thing since sliced bread they would say. Then get on with your life.
On the merits of being a great comedian with a sarcastic look at everything, while never presenting a real programme with alternatives? With that kind of attitude, you guys could elect any slick willy, actor or game show host to office!
“He really takes the cake.” Said James. “Where do you take a cake? To the movies?” “You know where *I’d* take a cake?” His driver asked. “Down to the bakery to see the other cakes.” “If he takes the cake,” Asked James. “Why not take the pie? Pies are easier to carry than cakes.” “Easy as pie.” Laughed his driver. “For one thing,” James said. “These expressions are the greatest thing since sliced bread.”
George Carlin did narrations for "Thomas and Friends" (featuring Thomas the Tank Engine as well as other engines, including James), so if his routine here was written into a Thomas episode, this is how it would possibly go!
I've seen two greats perform live. One was the great Frank Zappa, and the other was George Carlin. Both free thinkers who make the world better. When I saw Carlin in Vegas 2005 there were people actually walking out of the performance in a huff like they were mad, and I am thinking , WTF, did you not know who you were coming to see? Ya never heard of George Carlin? Ya didn't know he might offend your sensitive moronic ass? Carlin could have walked up and slapped me and I would have gave him a hug! We miss ya George...we fucking miss you!
Oh my God he was such an incredible comedic genius. No comedian has ever matched his the intelligence, influence, perception, realization and comprehension of society, wisdom, ability to take on his knowledge on how this world really is, fearlessness on stage, among so many other gifts, talents and potential. Arguably the Greatest Comedian of All Time.
George & I were born weeks apart in 19 &37. I wish we were still together. Saw him live twice. He was "fine & dandy" & "one of a kind". A raunchy Will Rogers? Love em both!
I was lucky to see Carlin live back in the early 90s in Miami, what an unforgettable show, I even snuck a small cassette recorder and recorded the show. I think I still have it somewhere. lol.
Every day of the week I miss this guy. He was the most intelligent & articulate of them all and whether you listened to him or read his books, you laughed until the tears came.
George Carlson, you were and always will be the fuckin amazing genius that broke barriers and mediums in comedy and life as a whole. You will be missed and I hope Robin Williams and Patrice O'Neill are chillin up there with ya. RIP you American treasures. 🤧
I got hooked on George in the 60s as The Hippy Dippy Weatherman" and "Radio WineO" on Laugh In. He was the Greatest. (would love to see George perform along with Steve Harvey. now that would be hilarious.)
The contemplation, reflection, and practice it takes to perform like Carlin is unimaginable to most people. It was to me until I watched and thought about his stuff for a few years. He is David Hume, Mark Twain, Noam Chomsky, etc. in our own time. But who comes next? I see nobody else out there doing his stuff. Originality is hard to duplicate.
I know I'm late to the party, but I can remember listening to him years ago with Bill Cosby, brilliant then and brill to the end, " I used to be Canadian but I'm American now!" and the words not allowed on T.V....happy days :)
George Carlin was/is one of my all time favorites. He was/is a genius and a philosophical giant his work covers so many aspects of life that one wonders whether or not this was his first life and from where. so good his work is still posted, and I want to thank you folks for it. P.S. Wal Thornhill was/is also a great fan of George Carlin and actually mentions he saw him live in Australia, so cool.
"If it's undisputed, what's all the fighting about?" Kills me every time. One of my all time favourite line deliveries.

As a language teacher, I have always loved how he examined the English so closely and so hilariously.
I love Carlin, though this branch of his humor seems a bit Gallagher-ish to me. Which could go either way: maybe Gallagher is over-maligned.
