YEAH GEORGIA, OLD GEORGE SET THE BARRRRRRRR VERY VERY HIGH, IT'LL NEVERRRR BE REACHED AGAIN LIKE HE DID IT! :) AND HE ALWAYS ALWAYS MADE YOU THINK, HE MAKES YOU THINK BABY! R.I.PEACE :( TO THE COMEDIC LEGEND :) AND A HAPPY 2022 TO YOU AND HOPEFULLY A MUCH BETTER ONE, BEST OF WISHES TO YOU GEORGIA.
I always thought of him as a modern philosopher knowing if he made it entertaining people would listen. I consider myself lucky to have seen him twice live before his passing.
@michaelnoviello6302 I assume you mean liberals. That's usually what people mean when they say woke even though they don't know what it means and they can't stop saying it. This is the one and only video of his that they can point to that backs up their insane narratives. He was against both liberals and conservatives. See all of his videos on religion, yuppies, and abortion. Hell, conservatives were the ones who always tried to shut him up. Thank fake God they couldn't.
"Sometimes I do question if this plastic thing is really so serious, you know!?" Well, as a software developer who has worked with image processing for fetal ultrasounds, I can tell you that microplasics have already shown up in those exams, both in amniotic fluid and placenta. So it is just as George has said, the Earth will be fine, but whatever is alive today will have to adapt to the changes we've made, including us.
Yep. We'll just have to adapt, just like the Earth has done for millions of years. But, unlike the earth, we don't have the same adaptability. Plastics, metals, cars and radioactive power are how we adapt. So, if they end up spelling our downfall, how are we to adapt then? We won't. THAT's what we're scared of. We don't give a shit about the planet. We give a shit about what happens to us as a result of what happens to the planet. There's a massive difference there. :)
Ms. Baker has a delightful smile and laugh, making her videos so entertaining. Her vivacity enlivens her work. The (alas) late George Catlin is unsurpassed. A good choice was made here.
This man was a TRUE master of stand up comedy! I think he was the best EVER. WELL Georgia now we know why we are here, plastic. Mr. Carlin was shockingly smart. So intelligent!!!! AND I adore your channel. Take care!!!!
George Carlin was less of a comedian and more of a philosopher. And a damn good one. Lord knows if he was still alive he wouldn't have ran of out material. He was one of very few to keep doing specials throughout his lifetime. Truly a legend.
People often say why don’t they just move. Well a couple of reasons they don’t, 1. It’s their home 2 They can’t afford It 3. They have no place to go. It’s not easy to pack up and leave or leave your home. It’s not that easy.😕
Hi Georgia. There was a cool hypothetical documentary about what the world would be like if people suddenly disappeared. I'm of the same mind that the world will be just dandy, but the people are doomed. I have no problem with this
George is my all time favourite stand-up. He had great intelligence which fueled so much of his comedy, and I think that's what sets him apart. He's simply on a different level, he was something special.
back in the mid 1970's there was a push to "save the trees" for good reasons and these same people told us to use plastic to save the trees that where made into paper bags. now these same activists are the ones yelling about the use of plastic bags now we should use paper bags. lol so George is right.
you should react to "History of the entire world, I guess" by Bill Wurtz... that could help you to put things into perspective and brush up on history. And make you laugh whilst doing it
In some cases interfering with nature is a good thing. We live there. We should fix our mistakes. Look at the monarch butterflies, about the die out. If insects like them are gone who's going to fertilize all the food we eat?
I like Carlin, so your video popped up. Don't worry about pausing to react(easy for me to say, but not do). That's what we're here to see. I had to sub so I can watch your other reactions to the other videos youve done later
I think if kids were exposed to George Carlin in there freshman year of High School the world would be so much better! Carlin is simply brilliant he understood humanity in ways very few people do… i remember discovering his comedy in 1997 it helped shape my entire way of thinking (George back catalog is a master class of certain points and times in US History his stand up in the 80’s & 90’s were close to flawless (Smartest Comedian in the last 50 years 👍
Hahahhahaha, love your videos. And the babble babble babble is what makes it unique. We don’t mind the pauses and babbles. Anybody can watch the video, but it’s your personality that we are here for.
Speak for yourself because some of us absolutely mind the pauses...you should never pause a comedy routine midstream...ever.! 95 % of what makes comedy funny is the pacing and timing and pausing totally breaks that timing and ruins the pacing so many things that were funny are now not because of the broken pacing. Just don't pause the video to make inane comments and speak for yourself when you say WE instead of YOU.
@@TonyZ8553 then go watch the video. This is a reaction channel. To watch others and hear their reaction on something. Believe me when I say we all know you speak for yourself. It must suck being so negative all the time that you watch a comedy routine (that you probably have seen) get mad at the reactor you choose to watch react (whom you’re probably subscribed to) and take the time to send negative comments because your life sucks so much you can’t enjoy comedy or the positive personality reacting to the comedy.
He is right though we will all perish but the earth will be here for another 3.5 billion years. Our star will become a red giant and earth will be gone.
I saw him 3 or 4 times and every show great. As I said before he makes you think about serious topics in a comedic way. That's why people call him a professor and philosopher.
3:33 You'll notice here that George switches off routine for just a moment to counter someone in the crowd who is heckling. The exact person he's describing couldn't sit and enjoy the show. They had to get indignant and start yelling. Almost, in a way, proving Carlin's point. We can't even be respectful within our own rules. A comedy show is a rhetorical performance. It's to be talked about after the fact, or just enjoyed as it happens. It's not an interactive experience. Yet, people can't seem to control themselves and they to get up and start yelling. As if that's going to change things.
Bits like this is Carlin (and comedy) at his/its most poetic. The rhythm and the way he uses repetition is the same way a beat or slam poet uses them. He's certainly correct that we are no real threat to the planet, though we are a threat to ourselves because of what we're doing to the planet. Stuff like climate change probably won't mean much to the Earth in the long run, but it could easily wipe us out.
Even with this kind of preachy bit, George never fails to insert his poetic structuring: Save the bees Save the trees Save the whales Save those snails
It depends on your perspective as to whether it's really important or not. The whole joke is that from the planets perspective it's much ado about nothing but from OUR perspective, it could be pretty serious. So, really just depends on how you look at it. 🙂
whats crazy is that there has been new studies proving that life is starting to evolve and adapt to the plastic in our oceans. not saying that we should keep polluting but hes right, the only ones that are going away are us. on a spaceship or extinction, the life on this planet will keep going with or without us.
George Carlin is a funny guy. Not what I would consider as typical comic. He isn't exactly up there telling jokes. He is more or less mocking the stupidity of humans, which in itself is very funny. He certainly nailed the virus thing to, didn't he. Thank you Georgia for another great video.
Age of the Earth: 4,543,000,000 years Age of Human Life: 200,000-300,000 years (Depending on where you draw the line evolutionarily.) Age of Heavy Industrialization: 162 years Age of Plastic: 115 years Our work here is done...
George was a comedic genius. I'm glad you are getting exposed to his thoughts; it counteracts the rhetoric and propaganda that we're continually bombarded with, and his delivery is hilarious!
#request4u First of all, I really like your reactions... maybe it's that beautiful accent of yours. But about my request: you mentioned in this reaction George's stand up acts are being so well put together... well, in this case, you gotta watch his act "Advertising". Your jaw will be on the floor, that's a promise!
Great reaction. Love the commentary. Carlin would sit there and practice his sets over and over again. It’s amazing. He is very smart and very funny. A true legend. When people say “Save the planet”, they really mean save the human race. For being “intelligent” creatures, we aren’t that smart. We are out of sync with our technology. We have the technology to really improve humanity, but we mainly spend our time killing humans, making stuff we don’t need and making sure rich people get very rich. We don’t spend much money on the advancement of humanity. The U.S. spends about $700 billion on weapons, and $8 million on the environment. Again, “the planet is fine… the people are fucked.” 😂
7:44 Anywhere you choose to live on this planet you're in the sights of some potential disaster. Whether it's a volcano(I have ash from the 1980 Mt. St Helens eruption which covered miles and miles of ground in many inches of ash.), Earthquakes, tidal waves, tornados, hurricanes, intense heat, intense cold... Most of the planet isn't suitable for human life. Think about that. Most of the planet is ocean water, you can't drink it. A large portion of the land is either too hot, too dry, or too cold. We live in the rest, that small percentage... and of that, about half of us live in places that are not conductive to growing large crops, or having readily available and clean drinking water.
As far as you not being worried about plastic being harmful to the planet, you are quite right. But it will make our living on the planet more challenging when we start to have plastic in us. Even if all mammals go extinct, the planet will be fine.
Gerorge Carlins hypothesis about the meaning of life being plastic is still regarded as the most plausible one according to most experts well, I made that up, but lets no get stuck on details
Carlin is truth in a male disguise. Sincerely he was and will always be a genius imo. Let's be real he's saying what we're already thinking but are too afraid to say.
yes, Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years, as has our solar system. if you are interested in learning more, I'd suggest checking out the tv series The Universe, as well as the podcast StarTalk, the latter contains more of the physics side of our universe. Startalk also posts to youtube if you prefer that. i hope you are well, Georgia!
On George Carlin.. I think George does make us think. And even if he isnt scientifically sound on everything he states his bigger message is: "You cant change what the entire world is doing to the planet and at the same time be a selfish bastard who thinks of only himself in regards to "saving the planet"" His message, the heart of his comedy message has almost always been simple: Until we learn to be kind to each other, think of our fellow man first, then all of these things we worry about and weird ways we act..are meaningless. Whether its the silly way we talk and are non-sensical in our thinking concerning words, or the really wasteful and meaningless practice of collecting more "stuff" or the futile attempts of man to politicize and curruptly try and "save the planet", it is all very small if we dont love and care for each other. And to me, that is George Carlin's greatest legacy.... To make us laugh, bring joy in a tough world and plant a seed to make a difference in the world that really counts: Love and be kind to each other. We are all on the same crazy bus together. Just different destinations. Comedy is great when funny and laughter cannot be beaten. But when it is combined to teach us and change us..then it becomes art.
"Oh my God he knows so much!" Why don't you? We've all had an education, right? You sound British, is education in the UK that bad? I live below sea level. I feel safe. Why? Because we've been working on this for 700 years.
Another great reaction. Let me give a link to one of Andrew Dice Clay's stand ups. Keep in mind it was all an act. He is a Jewish guy from NYC playing an obnoxious Italian guy from NYC. ======== ua-cam.com/video/5Htf_F6Nmtg/v-deo.html ======== You will not be let down! Or anyone else that loves to laugh until it hurts 🤣 He was the first Stand Up Comedian to sell out Madison Sq Garden here in the City. But.... he is very "in your face" like a precursor to O'Neil, Carlin, Burr etc. He is one of my all time favorites ❤.
This is my favorite George Carlin, I’ll call it a rant. But, he’s right. The amazing thing is this video is from years ago. He would be hated by the left if they broadcasted this over every college campus.
You poor child. You don't get it, do you? He's a comedian with a bit, and the point is that humans are screwing ourselves. It boggles the mind why the right would think he's aligned with them. The only reason he jabs liberals is that even then, Republicans were so batshit crazy there was no point.
"It doesn't punish. It doesn't reward. It just is." Always loved this closing of this special, as though it was an early epitaph. He was the GOAT of stand-up, Robin Williams and Richard Pryor fighting for second best.
I like your reaction smile and accent =)
he was a very smart man
Georgia your one of the most beautiful woman in the world
Just my favorite comedian!
Thank you 🙏 by the way the words ☝️wow ☝️said it all look 👀 into it great 👍 reaction 👏👏👏only two years ago 😁❤️✌️👋☮️
YEAH GEORGIA, OLD GEORGE SET THE BARRRRRRRR VERY VERY HIGH, IT'LL NEVERRRR BE REACHED AGAIN LIKE HE DID IT! :) AND HE ALWAYS ALWAYS MADE YOU THINK, HE MAKES YOU THINK BABY! R.I.PEACE :( TO THE COMEDIC LEGEND :) AND A HAPPY 2022 TO YOU AND HOPEFULLY A MUCH BETTER ONE, BEST OF WISHES TO YOU GEORGIA.
Love your reactions, plus...you're adorable.
the most important before looking around on what to save, take care of ourselves then the rest will follow.
As older, he makes you think.
Georgia, well said
You have an open, inquisitive, and beautiful soul. Thanks for the Carlin reactions!
If there is a God, he was inside George Carlin. The man speaks the truth. That is rare in this world.
I always thought of him as a modern philosopher knowing if he made it entertaining people would listen. I consider myself lucky to have seen him twice live before his passing.
I'm so jealous but in a good way. nice to see someone who appreciates peace brother
He was...a man with a very high IQ, and common sense....Im glad I get it...some dont!...The WOKE wont for sure!
@michaelnoviello6302 I assume you mean liberals. That's usually what people mean when they say woke even though they don't know what it means and they can't stop saying it.

He is a teacher. A lot of smarts.
Thanks for sharing this one - Liked and subbed!
George is the 🐐🔥💯🔥🔥
Thank you, great reaction! George is my favorite monologue comedian of all time.
"Sometimes I do question if this plastic thing is really so serious, you know!?"
Well, as a software developer who has worked with image processing for fetal ultrasounds, I can tell you that microplasics have already shown up in those exams, both in amniotic fluid and placenta.
So it is just as George has said, the Earth will be fine, but whatever is alive today will have to adapt to the changes we've made, including us.
Yep. We'll just have to adapt, just like the Earth has done for millions of years.
But, unlike the earth, we don't have the same adaptability.
Plastics, metals, cars and radioactive power are how we adapt.
So, if they end up spelling our downfall, how are we to adapt then?
We won't. THAT's what we're scared of.
We don't give a shit about the planet.
We give a shit about what happens to us as a result of what happens to the planet.
There's a massive difference there. :)
An evolutionary cul-de-sac, one of my favorite Carlin lines......
Ms. Baker has a delightful smile and laugh, making her videos so entertaining. Her vivacity enlivens her work. The (alas) late George Catlin is unsurpassed. A good choice was made here.
Had to look up what ‘vivacity’ meant but thanks a lot aha!😊
This man was a TRUE master of stand up comedy! I think he was the best EVER. WELL Georgia now we know why we are here, plastic. Mr. Carlin was shockingly smart. So intelligent!!!! AND I adore your channel. Take care!!!!
George Carlin was less of a comedian and more of a philosopher. And a damn good one. Lord knows if he was still alive he wouldn't have ran of out material. He was one of very few to keep doing specials throughout his lifetime. Truly a legend.
No he was a comedian. Trying to put him into the rarified air of "philosopher" is a cheap way for fans to feel smarter than they are.
George Carlin is the most sophisticated and funny comedian ever
*#Georgia* is the first I've seen who's reacted to this recently & not be shocked when he starts talking about a *Virus🦠*
You. Are such. A darling. Love your commentary! Try George's bit called "Losing Things." I'm confident you'll love it!
9:25-10:20 The same smiling face and intent stare we all made when we realized the genius of Carlin for the first time.
People often say why don’t they just move. Well a couple of reasons they don’t, 1. It’s their home 2 They can’t afford
It 3. They have no place to go. It’s not easy to pack up and leave or leave your home. It’s not that easy.😕
Hi Georgia. There was a cool hypothetical documentary about what the world would be like if people suddenly disappeared. I'm of the same mind that the world will be just dandy, but the people are doomed. I have no problem with this
Congrats on finding the best comedian and teacher ever! I had the pleasure of seeing him live when I was 19 in 2007 the year before he died.
Bill Hick & George Carlin 2 of the Best
Also George Carlin has a good voice I remember seasons 3 & 4 of Thomas the Tank Engine
George is my all time favourite stand-up. He had great intelligence which fueled so much of his comedy, and I think that's what sets him apart. He's simply on a different level, he was something special.
AND THIS WAS PRACTICALLYYY 30 YEARS AGO SO! :) WAYYYYYYYYY AHEAD OF THE TIMES HE WAS
You don't babble, you have thoughts worthy of expression. : )
Perhaps the best way of classifying George Carlin is a modern-day comedic philosopher.
back in the mid 1970's there was a push to "save the trees" for good reasons and these same people told us to use plastic to save the trees that where made into paper bags. now these same activists are the ones yelling about the use of plastic bags now we should use paper bags. lol so George is right.
you should react to "History of the entire world, I guess" by Bill Wurtz... that could help you to put things into perspective and brush up on history. And make you laugh whilst doing it
I was about to comment the exact same thing...
came here to say this too
Also recommend.
I'm going to watch it again now.
Came here to say this as well lol
I really hope this happens, was gonna recommend it too
In some cases interfering with nature is a good thing. We live there. We should fix our mistakes. Look at the monarch butterflies, about the die out. If insects like them are gone who's going to fertilize all the food we eat?
Notice as the bit goes on, the audience is SILENT. this isn't comedy, this is a lesson
I like Carlin, so your video popped up. Don't worry about pausing to react(easy for me to say, but not do). That's what we're here to see. I had to sub so I can watch your other reactions to the other videos youve done later

Yes, I've watched about making plastic. They actually came from melted corn kernels.

Many people miss the point of this, which is that humans are the endangered species.
Volcanoes, earthquakes, tornados… basically there is no safe place to live on the planet
All hail the big electron!!
He is right though we will all perish but the earth will be here for another 3.5 billion years. Our star will become a red giant and earth will be gone.
I was there. 1992 NYC it was an HBO special. Check out his routine on cemeteries and golf courses
I saw him 3 or 4 times and every show great. As I said before he makes you think about serious topics in a comedic way. That's why people call him a professor and philosopher.

Pack your shit folks, the planet’s not going anywhere. We are.
Volcano-ash is very fertile. People took the risk in exchange for better harvests at a time food was more difficult to come by....
Good to watch this before UA-cam pulls it off the site again. Hope not. Happy New Year, Georgia.
Even with this kind of preachy bit, George never fails to insert his poetic structuring:
Save the bees
Save the trees
Save the whales
Save those snails
He the best do more
George is a prophet 💯🔥
It only glitched over "it doesn't reward" quite annoying. I'm so saddened that he's gone 'cause I just can't get enough of him
😇😘🙏😉
George Carlin was a prophet.
I like knowing what you think of each point. In fact, a reaction should have more than laughter! Keep doing what you do, fellow babbler!
It depends on your perspective as to whether it's really important or not. The whole joke is that from the planets perspective it's much ado about nothing but from OUR perspective, it could be pretty serious. So, really just depends on how you look at it. 🙂
whats crazy is that there has been new studies proving that life is starting to evolve and adapt to the plastic in our oceans. not saying that we should keep polluting but hes right, the only ones that are going away are us. on a spaceship or extinction, the life on this planet will keep going with or without us.
From his 1996 HBO special.
1992
Pausing to say stuff it's what makes it a good reaction video btw :)
Wish greta thunberg would react for george carlin and say "How dare you" 😤
It's ok to admit ignorance, it's never to late to learn. Good luck with your journey to understanding this world we all share.👍😊
"At the beginning of all true learning is the phrase; I don't know."
George Carlin is a funny guy. Not what I would consider as typical comic. He isn't exactly up there telling jokes. He is more or less mocking the stupidity of humans, which in itself is very funny. He certainly nailed the virus thing to, didn't he. Thank you Georgia for another great video.

I think Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio would feel very offended LMAO xD
This is a reaction video, we're here to hear you babble, keep it up.

Happy New Year Georgia!
Hugs from Ireland 🇮🇪 🤗
people should remember George Carlin
Great reaction. Love the commentary. Carlin would sit there and practice his sets over and over again. It’s amazing. He is very smart and very funny. A true legend.
When people say “Save the planet”, they really mean save the human race. For being “intelligent” creatures, we aren’t that smart. We are out of sync with our technology. We have the technology to really improve humanity, but we mainly spend our time killing humans, making stuff we don’t need and making sure rich people get very rich.

Kind of prophetic video.
Not prophetic. Of its time. People were just too stupid to listen, still are largely.
She’s JUST about to press the play button, then DAMMIT, thinks of ONE more thing to say…
Calm down, I’m kidding. I do enjoy her videos.
Hi there, I saw you earlier on my TV. You sound cute and have a cool accent
7:44 Anywhere you choose to live on this planet you're in the sights of some potential disaster. Whether it's a volcano(I have ash from the 1980 Mt. St Helens eruption which covered miles and miles of ground in many inches of ash.), Earthquakes, tidal waves, tornados, hurricanes, intense heat, intense cold...

when he was talking about viruses at the end you did a "what?" (and said it softly.)
He was talking about H.I.V./AIDS it wasn't a made up virus.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
As far as you not being worried about plastic being harmful to the planet, you are quite right. But it will make our living on the planet more challenging when we start to have plastic in us. Even if all mammals go extinct, the planet will be fine.
Gerorge Carlins hypothesis about the meaning of life being plastic is still regarded as the most plausible one according to most experts
well, I made that up, but lets no get stuck on details
A lot of the species that died IS our fault. Especially since the industrial revolution.
I love this
Carlin is truth in a male disguise. Sincerely he was and will always be a genius imo. Let's be real he's saying what we're already thinking but are too afraid to say.
It's crazy when you actually research recycling plastic....
Happy New Year Georgia
yes, Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years, as has our solar system. if you are interested in learning more, I'd suggest checking out the tv series The Universe, as well as the podcast StarTalk, the latter contains more of the physics side of our universe. Startalk also posts to youtube if you prefer that.
i hope you are well, Georgia!
Fraid you don't need to be close to worry about a volcano. When Yellowstone goes everyone is gonna feel it.
On George Carlin..
I think George does make us think. And even if he isnt scientifically sound on everything he states his bigger message is:
"You cant change what the entire world is doing to the planet and at the same time be a selfish bastard who thinks of only himself in regards to "saving the planet""
His message, the heart of his comedy message has almost always been simple:
Until we learn to be kind to each other, think of our fellow man first, then all of these things we worry about and weird ways we act..are meaningless.
Whether its the silly way we talk and are non-sensical in our thinking concerning words, or the really wasteful and meaningless practice of collecting more "stuff" or the futile attempts of man to politicize and curruptly try and "save the planet", it is all very small if we dont love and care for each other.
And to me, that is George Carlin's greatest legacy....
To make us laugh, bring joy in a tough world and plant a seed to make a difference in the world that really counts:
Love and be kind to each other.
We are all on the same crazy bus together. Just different destinations. Comedy is great when funny and laughter cannot be beaten. But when it is combined to teach us and change us..then it becomes art.
Very much like another great, Kurt Vonnegut.
😍
"Oh my God he knows so much!"
Why don't you? We've all had an education, right? You sound British, is education in the UK that bad?

Another great reaction. Let me give a link to one of Andrew Dice Clay's stand ups. Keep in mind it was all an act. He is a Jewish guy from NYC playing an obnoxious Italian guy from NYC.

"It doesn't punish. It doesn't reward. It just is." Always loved this closing of this special, as though it was an early epitaph. He was the GOAT of stand-up, Robin Williams and Richard Pryor fighting for second best.

Yeah I would be scared living next to a volcano. Before artificial fertilizers though...those are some of the richest natural soils :)
