Have you been called "Stupid" a lot in your life? Is vocabulary a sensitive subject for you? It says a lot that this topic evokes that type of response from you. It's almost like you want to defend a lower standard of language. Anyway, is the definition of "Irony" as presented by George Carlin: "Irony deals with opposites; it has nothing to do with coincidence. If two baseball players from the same hometown, on different teams, receive the same uniform number, it is not ironic. It is a coincidence. If Barry Bonds attains lifetime statistics identical to his father’s it will not be ironic. It will be a coincidence. Irony is “a state of affairs that is the reverse of what was to be expected; a result opposite to and in mockery of the appropriate result.” For instance: If a diabetic, on his way to buy insulin, is killed by a runaway truck, he is the victim of an accident. If the truck was delivering sugar, he is the victim of an oddly poetic coincidence. But if the truck was delivering insulin, ah! Then he is the victim of an irony. If a Kurd, after surviving bloody battle with Saddam Hussein’s army and a long, difficult escape through the mountains, is crushed and killed by a parachute drop of humanitarian aid, that, my friend, is irony writ large. Darryl Stingley, the pro football player, was paralyzed after a brutal hit by Jack Tatum. Now Darryl Stingley’s son plays football, and if the son should become paralyzed while playing, it will not be ironic. It will be coincidental. If Darryl Stingley’s son paralyzes someone else, that will be closer to ironic. If he paralyzes Jack Tatum’s son that will be precisely ironic." That is the definition of "Irony" in the most comprehensive way that it could be presented to you. We can only hope you were able to learn something today.
@JoaoPaulo-zd2qj Yes, there are some contextual differences, sure. "Prophetic" was more of an exaggeration for comedic purposes. Despite that though, the fact that a piece of absurdist satire from a 25 year old movie rhymes with current events is still true, and kinda funny.
@AdapanosMinistries-u7o lol there are god symbols in every religion, where have you been? Luce, or lucifer is a false idol and I'm genuinely concerned.
Ummm.. so you guys will ship to everywhere BUT the United States? Is this because of the bullshit probe from the democrats and the election??? I just checked out the figure and it's awesome. I want one badly.
maybe he never found that many movies where he could play a role freely like this one (and watching a bunch of his interviews, he really wanted to be an actor, but he probably didnt get to hone that skill earlier like with his stand up)
He originally intended stand-up comedy to just be a stepping stone to an acting career. When he finally got some roles early in his career, though, he found that he just didn't really like it that much.
George referred to himself as a booster to tourism in New Jersey by claiming he'd bought a t-shirt that read, "Kiss Her Where It Smells, Take Her To New Jersey!"
What I love about Dogma is that as much as some hardliners would like to claim it is such, it is actually not blasphemous in the least. It still pays respect to the faith while giving a lot of humor and a new point of view of it all. And that just makes it even more hilarious to me. And you don't even have to be Christian or decide to become such to still enjoy it. In the end, it is a comedy.
The funny part is I always felt the same since I was a kid. My grandfather was Catholic and had a Christ being crusifyed statue on the wall and it always creeped me out and I couldn't help wonder "why do we need to be ALWAYS reminded of his horrible murder instead of literally anything else happy about Him"
No reason to miss him, he is all over the IOT! As for George in hell, Ha,! Have you never listened to him seriously? You would shed that oppressive DOGMA. Yeeha!
@@punctuationman334 I think it’s a way of saying he had a certain contempt, or maybe the word is scepticism, of Christianity and hell in particular, so to say he’s in hell when he didn’t believe in it is a way of saying he’s in a good place, while sticking to what his beliefs were.
Holly Jesus, man this is too Sweet too believe, George Carlin as the Cardinal, rest in peace George Carlin, nothing like him the man was comedic genius.
I know its a satire of corporate rebranding but damn, Buddy Christ is a geniunely cool, positive and wholesome depiction of Jesus Christ. He should be adopted as a symbol for the church, even if it's mostly aimed at children or something. There is something that always makes me smile joyfully at seeing Buddy Christ, as opposed to really roasting Christianity or be mean spirited about him.
I agree. When he said about it giving us the Willies he was right! If I was brutally murdered tomorrow and my dead bloated mutilated corpse was laying there id never want to be remembered that way I'd want to be remembered at my happiest and best. Same with Christ.
Indeed, as I commented years ago; here we see Jesus who is grooving on life, someone who wants to be your buddy and who is there for you when you need him or just want to have a beer with or go to the game with.
Yeah ancient human torture devices really make a personal impact when you know a bit about history. It's a gross symbol to wear around your neck. If people started wearing injection needles, knives, electric chairs around their necks people would think they're in a cult or a gang. 😏
my grandfather is in this scene and multiple other Kevin Smith films. im so blessed to be able to see him even though he's passed on. Kevin Smith is a tru G.
George is legendary for his stand-up comedy, and rightly so, but this scene illustrates that he also had some serious acting chops. The way his eyes light up and how expressive he is with his hands as he presents Buddy Christ. I could watch this character brush his teeth and probably still be entertained. RIP.
Kevin Smith: George, how'd you like to be in my next movie. George Calin: I don't know, what's the role? Kevin Smith: You'd play a cardinal. George Carlin: I'm in.
Or the new "Big Butter Jesus" statue in Dayton, OH. I don't think the new one looks like it's made of butter but you can see images of the old one online. For the record, the old one burned to the ground.......after lightning hit it. If that's not a sign from Gawd(TM), I don't know what is...
I don’t find this sacrilegious. In fact I think it hits the nail on the head. The monetization of religion has been going on since it was first discovered that it was possible. The beauty of this is that George Carlin has spoken about it in the past. When you can take the Bible and charge $50 for a “special edition“ instead of just giving it out for free then your religion is fair game.
The real nail on the head is that Catholicism (and indeed most Christianity) is predicated on fear, regret and negativity. Every aspect of life is framed from the perspective of what is evil, sinful and forbidden by God. Everything about Christianity is set up to make you feel bad about who you are, what's inside you and what you've done. Heck, at its heart is the concept of Original Sin, a fundamental flaw in all of us that cannot be fixed, it can only be forgiven. All the imagery is saints, angels, God etc looking at you sad-faced, angry and judging from on high, and at the heart is a tortured, maimed man who only wanted what's best for you and ended up dying _for you_ dontcha know, how could you reject that?! It's a scheme designed to wear you down with guilt and shame until, mentally broken, you go crawling to the Church for absolution, conveniently the ONLY people who can provide it. And then the idea that they become self-aware that what they do is depressing and damaging, so they try and jazz it up and make it more "positive" even though it's still fundamentally based on telling you you're damaged and wrong, THAT's what's being satirized here.
Buddy Christ has arrived. Except its an anime girl named Luce. It's wild that Kevin Smith could have predicted the catholic church doing this. I just hope it's not followed by Loke and Bartleby fr
@@t.va.6611 Pagans weren't killed, since European Christians were all "pagan" once. Roman population slowly converted over many decades, as since the empire grew, the numbers of their slaves grew (Christianity was viewed as the religion of the slaves for many years), and it over time became the dominant religion of the empire. And when Rome fell, over time other great European rulers converted to Christianity to symbolize themselves as the rightful successors of Rome, and smaller European nations converted in order to gain allies.
And that few people will get to see it now - Harvey Weinstein owns the rights to this movie (not his company) and any streaming service will have to pay a crazy price for it.

DAMN!!!! I love this guy, George you were the man. Never had fear to tell as it is and probably last free mind who has been in touch with millions and millions of people.
I don't think anyone is complaining about exotic dancers! Only true friends that knew George Carlin would know what I am talking about 😉 "Viva Las Vegas"
Totally, you can tell Kevin Smith probably gave him a rough outline of where he wanted the dialogue / scene to go. And then probably let George write up most of the details. George was extremely particular about his word choices in his bits. And once he ‘warms up’ in this scene you can see him roll smoothly into that classic Carlin Cadence he was famous and loved for.
I’d love to talk to Kevin Smith about how he pitched this to George. They were both raised Catholic, so it’d be really interesting to hear what they discussed, their feelings about their faith, etc.
Just learned that whilst filming George wore a Band-Aid on his finger to cover over his wedding ring in all of his scenes as he was not ready to take it off after the death of his wife Brenda. . ...
The church is Saints Peter and Paul Church, which it really in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, not in Red Bank, New Jersey. In fact, most of the film, "Dogma" was filmed in Pennsylvania. The church is currently vacant since 1992 and it's a landmark in Pittsburgh.
I didn't know of Carlin when I saw this movie years ago. Then later I heard of Carlin and became a fan. Now imagine my mind when I searched for this scene later and then saw that the cardinal was none other than George Carlin! Mind. Blown.

Anyway, is the definition of "Irony" as presented by George Carlin:
"Irony deals with opposites; it has nothing to do with coincidence. If two baseball players from the same hometown, on different teams, receive the same uniform number, it is not ironic. It is a coincidence. If Barry Bonds attains lifetime statistics identical to his father’s it will not be ironic. It will be a coincidence. Irony is “a state of affairs that is the reverse of what was to be expected; a result opposite to and in mockery of the appropriate result.” For instance:
If a diabetic, on his way to buy insulin, is killed by a runaway truck, he is the victim of an accident. If the truck was delivering sugar, he is the victim of an oddly poetic coincidence. But if the truck was delivering insulin, ah! Then he is the victim of an irony.

@@serey7247 Это перевод на русский монолога Джорджа Карлина. Я слушал этот монолог много раз на английском, и до сих пор хохочу!
The little flair on the organ after he says "the willies" always gets me.
This will never get old.
George Carlin as a Cardinal is PURE GENIUS and Smile-Worthy!
Doesn't it pop lmfao
at 69 likes i dont want to like this comment. also nice.
@@chadpattypersonal8731 as George Carlin said when he turned 70... Now I'm 69 with one finger up my ass.
One of Carlin's most iconic roles if not _the_ most iconic.
This wasn't even supposed to be part of the movie. The cameraman just happened to walk by a George Carlin stand-up routine on the street
DAMN!!!! I love this guy, George you were the man. Never had fear to tell as it is and probably last free mind who has been in touch with millions and millions of people.
I love how George is so himself in this role. May he rest.
I don't think anyone is complaining about exotic dancers! Only true friends that knew George Carlin would know what I am talking about 😉 "Viva Las Vegas"
As many have said before in this damned comment section, the abounding irony of Carlin playing someone in place of religious power is priceless
Just some thing we’ve been kicking around the office 🤣🤣 lmao RIP George Carlin the greatest comedian ever
Im not from english-speaking country and first I saw Dogma, and years later I find out Carlin. That is one of a best cast in all the history.
He didnt come here to give us the willies 🤣🤣🤣
Except the Catholic Church. ;))))
*church organ lick*
Can't for some Luce fanart involving her doing the Buddy Christ pose lmao
I love how the scene still plays out like one lof his stand up bits
Totally, you can tell Kevin Smith probably gave him a rough outline of where he wanted the dialogue / scene to go. And then probably let George write up most of the details. George was extremely particular about his word choices in his bits. And once he ‘warms up’ in this scene you can see him roll smoothly into that classic Carlin Cadence he was famous and loved for.
I’d love to talk to Kevin Smith about how he pitched this to George. They were both raised Catholic, so it’d be really interesting to hear what they discussed, their feelings about their faith, etc.
So George Carlin was involved in the birth of one of my favorite memes... Joe Pesci, you have blessed me.
That was a great movie😊
After Luce reveal, it's only a matter of time before they go for Buddy Christ
The birth of a meme. Poor George Carlin must be rolling over in his grave. . . . . . . . At least he's right way up now.
I think he's down there now, screaming up at us!
DENIS that's a 1 in 4000+ possibilities
Carlin was cremated.
DENIS Making pies without an oven.
I must say that I thoroughly enjoy all the Carlin Jokes. It just shows that there is a little hope for humanity left.
Still pops after all these years! Thanks for uploading for cultural archive purposes. 💖
Just learned that whilst filming George wore a Band-Aid on his finger to cover over his wedding ring in all of his scenes as he was not ready to take it off after the death of his wife Brenda. . ...
The church is Saints Peter and Paul Church, which it really in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, not in Red Bank, New Jersey. In fact, most of the film, "Dogma" was filmed in Pennsylvania. The church is currently vacant since 1992 and it's a landmark in Pittsburgh.
This feels like one of George's actual routines, doesn't it.
He wasnt here to give us the willies.. .. he was a booster
It amazes me how many people didn't know that the Buddy Christ meme came from this fantastic movie.
RIP George. Thanks for all the laughs and giving me my love of trains.
I watched this at an age when I had no idea who Carlin was! OMG this is hilarious!!
Such a great movie.
Who would’ve known the meme came from a movie with george carlin
Everyone
This was my first experience seeing Carlin as a kid.. gods I miss this man and his comedy
Epic on so many levels.
This movie is awesome 😄
George must have loved doing this.
Best role and acting for George Carlin.
It was genius writing from Kevin,and also to cast George for this amazing delivery 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best Kevin Smith movie!
So that's where that meme came from? I love George Carlin! He was incredible.
One of the reasons why this aged so well is because you could put Pope Francis in the George Carlin role today.
Whoever let this man cook, promote both of them.
I'm a GC fan, and I'm ashamed that I just knew where this meme came from and it's 2019.
May Joe Pesci doesn't strike me dead.
Wow so it was Carlin's production team who made Buddy Christ? I love it even more now.
I would go every day to hear george carlin preach but then i wouldnt be curch anymore it wouldt be a comedy club with a curched themed decor haha
I didn't know of Carlin when I saw this movie years ago. Then later I heard of Carlin and became a fan. Now imagine my mind when I searched for this scene later and then saw that the cardinal was none other than George Carlin! Mind. Blown.
Christ didn't come to Earth to give us the willies.
I love the trill of the organ that accompanies it when he says it!
A master of comedy
My 17 year old ass just went “so that’s where that came from”
Dirty Diamond Ditto
True
You've never seen Dogma? I reccomend it.
My 35 year old ass said the same and I’ve seen the movie!
Where what came from?
