My 14 year old goes to bed every night listening to Carlin. That’s how good he is, his comedy crosses generations...probably because the problems never change and we never solve them
I discovered him 4 years ago at age 18, and I can say he was a major influence on me for a very long time. His segments about business honestly made me switch out of my Business program, and I think it was one of the greatest decisions of my life.
If your kid listens to Carlin at 14, you hit the lotto, that kid has got a bright future. Just don’t go around showing everyone pictures of your kid. No one cares!😜 (Carlin Stand up material)
I like this material a little more than the usual stuff he was doing in later years, because he toned down the anger and negativity his later material tended to have
@@deller5924 With all due respect, I think he shares that title alongside Tom Lehrer(albeit in a different style), but otherwise both of them are the best. The 2 of them are unparalleled when it comes to satirizing sociocultural-political issues like this, and the most fearless too!
There is no accounting for taste on such things, but I completely agree with you. He is the GoaT. He had an uncanny ability to be fucking silly as hell and simultaneously be making all sorts of serious points in the same show, and often in the same joke. There are other great stand up specials, but as a whole, no one can match Carlin's collection/material/career. He was hilarious, creative, and flat out intelligent. He has so much great stuff, but my all time favorite "bit" was his stuff about the airlines, particularly "The safety lecture."
oh really??? ROBIN WILLIAMS, DAVE CHAPELLE (spelling?), RICHARD PRYOR, MITCH HEDBERG, TOM DREESEN, CHARLY CHAPLAN, CAROL BURNETT, too many others as good or better. BUT OF COURSE HUMOR IS SUBJECTIVE isn't it?
"Some see the glass as half empty. Some people see the glass as full. I just see the glass as too big." That has got to be the sassiest way to put it. I love it.
the glass is too big, because it's not a shot glass. that glass is either full or empty, there's no half empty half full. which means, you go at life Full On, none of this half in half out mewling and puking.
I once walked into a book store, they had a "giant book sale" sign out front. So I walked in looking confused, and asked " where are the giant books?". The look was priceless...
There's something so endearing about this set. I know Carlin said not to look for a theme but I found a couple of them: Great writing, a unique comedic voice and a great joy in pointing out and having fun with the absurdity in the world. I love that smile he had when he asked "Suppose a guy is really, really stupid and then becomes senile... How do you know? "Even within the confines of a spot on late night network TV he was still very much himself and still knocked it out of the park. George Carlin is still one of my all time favorites and I count myself as lucky to have grown up in his later years because he made me laugh like no one I'd ever seen before and not only made me think but improved the quality of my thinking.
Living in the UK I only came across this man after his death, we never got him on British TV. I’ve never really enjoyed American humour until I saw this genius. Love him.
I miss him dearly. Since I was a teenager he put out a new stand-up special on HBO every year for 30 years give or take. I always caught the premier of his new special. He is my hero.
What a genius. A once in a lifetime kind of guy. We miss you George. Thanks for the memories. Thru your tirades, your angst, your dialogue and your observations, you taught us so so much. Because you always, absolutely always, spoke the truth.
@@monkadelic13 I think you mean low-hanging fruit that low-brow imbeciles call "comedy". Carlin was much more interested in (1) talking about the shit nobody else wanted or dared to, and (2) bringing a little cynicism to a little bit of everything. If anything, George would probably be extremely bored and uninterested in the large majority of what is happening, because it wouldn't surprise or amuse him, and it certainly wouldn't be worth talking about for very long.
It's not fair that in 1948 two people were about to fuck but she decided she was not ready, while the result of that specific fuck would have been a baby that turned out to be by far the greatest stand-up comedian of all time.
I could feel him dying on that stage, he was really behaving himself and didn't like it. It's hard pretending to be something you're not. RIP Irish brother. It's sad that you're gone.
@@speggeri90 Yes, but he was of Irish descent. He explained once that all four of his grandparents were born in Ireland. Carlin is an Irish name, in fact.
Jay Leno, the most untalented overachiever Hollywood has ever seen, and that's really saying a lot considering it's a town that for generations has been full of Weinstein's looking to give hot young girls their "big break."
Tom DeLaCruz yes sir! That's why Don Rickles always has the unfunny chin's balls every time he's a guest. He hates leno, but treats Dave differently. RIP to two legends, Carlin & Rickles.
George Carlin - the best example of what the rare combination of uninhibited honesty and sheer brilliance could bring to society. We would laugh because what he said was so over the top in reality it was comical. In this world that is so full of lies and false promises there was George, telling it like it is and not holding anything back - and people like me loved him for it. There will never be another quite like him, and I am glad of that because it would dilute the talent of this exceptional individual - and that wouldn't be fair to George Carlin.
I didn't appreciate this man while he was alive. Thought he was just an old geezer comedian. Now, I wanna cry when I watch his material because that was it - there was only one Carlin.
I started to really listen to George Carlin in the summer of 1982(got a copy of Class Clown cassette). and really haven't stopped listening to George since.
Carlin was a great communicator ; as a French with poor hearing and bad english , i can understand everything he says and appreciate his immense talent.
Man, the range of comedy this legend George Carlin had. He goes from 1-2 hour stand up routines on cable TV where he displays his drawn out, thought provoking, and ingenious philosophies in his performances, to a masterful display of one liners on network TV.
His best line ever is "I Don't believe anything the government tells us"!! I don't believe in the flag, its just a symbol for symbol minded!! Love George, a philosopher and patriot.
I enjoyed this. It was like listening to your grandpa crack jokes while you're eating lunch at the table, then you look up and realize your grandpa is freakin' George Carlin.
I seen Carlin live 4 times. The last time, my son and I was in the back of the theatre and two guys in the 3rd row were drunk, caused some trouble, got tossed out and went out in the lobby and hit the fire alarm. Carlin's mic went off so to keep us from sitting there waiting, he talked very loud and told some jokes to keep us entertained. My son and I walked up and with the permission of the other people sitting in that row, we took the two open seats. Luckily there was a fireman in the audience that had a device of some sort to fix the problem and my son and I got to see all of Carlin's funny facial expressions for the rest of the show. It was the last time we seen him live but it was awesome!!! Carlin was a great entertainer. I really miss him. RIP George!
RIP George... His Trusims and observations were Amazing. A Comedic Legend for Sure. There are a bunch over the years that could "Shine his shoes", but non IMHO that could wear his Shoes. He came a long way from The Hippy Dippy Weatherman on Ed Sullivan in the late 60s ....
Every since I heard George I can't seem to watch many other comics. He tells it just as it is about everything. He doesn't care if it hurts your sincerity or care what you think. Very rare person. I listen to him all the time and still laugh. He didn't want us to mourn his death, and that is why he is the best ever.
Saw George at Club Bene, Sayreville NJ, back in the day. As he walked on stage the crowd immediately responded with applause, whistling and cheering. George grabbed the microphone and yelled back "F%#^ Y*u!!!!!! The crowd went nutz!!!!! A great start to an action packed show!
Love the man. Still relevant to this day and for generations to come. Listening in 2022. He would have had so much amazing material - daily - for his shows these days.
Good Lord he left EXACTLY at the time idiocy became the trend, 2008, oh the materials he would have harvested up til today! I believe with how cognitive, articulate and witty he is, even in his 90s he'd still be grilling like mad.
When given a sewing kit at a hotel I not only sew a button to a lampshade, but I also draw a head and 8 little legs to make them think it's a deadly spider 😂😂😂
I appreciate the fast paced knock out aphoristic technique of humor that he uses here. He embodies each joke very well. It's like doing two dozen characters in a few minutes.
My 14 year old goes to bed every night listening to Carlin. That’s how good he is, his comedy crosses generations...probably because the problems never change and we never solve them

I do the same thing !!!
hes the reason why i never applied for a credit card.
i first started heard of and started watching him the day he died, when i was 12.
Im convinced if he could've lived forever, he would have continued to get funnier every year. Forever.
Such a Legend!
He should have lived for a thousand years for humanity's sake.
As Rufus he will.
George Carlin is even hilarious when his jokes are clean! :D
yeah but nothing like when He's got a f. this or stupid bast... so on with a much larger crowd He's used to!!!!!
Duh! He's the master of the English language!
Edited! lol
I like this material a little more than the usual stuff he was doing in later years, because he toned down the anger and negativity his later material tended to have
ALL comedians are funnier when clean
George Carlin is the best comedian I have ever seen
Yeah, the best maker of satire.

Legend.
Carlin is a legend
George carlin ellinika
Winter Blue yes he is
FACTS
LIVING Legends!
Just imagine, if he was still around. There is so much stupid shit going on these days, he could do two specials per year!
A special a week, at least! 😉👏
@@connyleicht6567 true..I was going say that😂😂😂
he worked constantly anyways is what i hear. nowadays the material would practically write itself
Sadly, he would not be be allowed to speak anymore. Stupid censorship. Ban.
He could practically write a special very time Trump opened his mouth
"Wonder if the chickens knew each other". Brilliant.
Carlin continues to be a LEGEND! When I’m in a blue funk, five minutes of George perks me right up!
The absolute best philosopher of our times. RIP.
*The best comedian ever!*
- miss you George.
Him and Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx
@@jennifergalberth1240 to me only George.
oh really???
ROBIN WILLIAMS, DAVE CHAPELLE (spelling?), RICHARD PRYOR, MITCH HEDBERG, TOM DREESEN, CHARLY CHAPLAN,

"Some see the glass as half empty. Some people see the glass as full. I just see the glass as too big."

To put what exactly.
@@missionpupa If the glass were smaller, it would be filled up by the same amount of water.
Aaron Yandell ...Said Sir Topham Hatt.
the glass is too big, because it's not a shot glass. that glass is either full or empty, there's no half empty half full. which means, you go at life Full On, none of this half in half out mewling and puking.
I personally prefer one a friend of mine came up with years ago.
It’s not if the glass is half full or empty, but What’s in the glass?
George Carlin was absolutely hilarious rest in peace George
George, thanks for making my 66 years more tolerable! Quite a gift to give people. Thanks George!!!

And Hassan Minjah.
A fair trade I reckon.
Even the god would not take a trade that lopsided
@@HexxuSz God? The guy George always made fun of?
Nah man it’s not a fair deal
The world needs this man now more than ever. Miss him
He is so original. One of my fave comedians
His jokes will always be relevant no matter what year it is. Comedy Gold.
Living in the UK I only came across this man after his death, we never got him on British TV. I’ve never really enjoyed American humour until I saw this genius. Love him.
Right up there with Monty python, Dave Allen.
@@moniquemacdonald7893 No. Monty Python is mostly overrated english pretentious nonsense.
He was bloody amazing … rip George 🙏🙏❤️🇦🇺🌹
Not only real good comedy but he has great communication skills. Not many comedians around who have such clear diction. And he is never boring. 🙂😊
There you go Leno, that's how stand up is done...... R.I.P. Mr.Carlin
Jay Leno is not really a comedian. He has writers that produce his "material". Then he reads the material off of a teleprompter.
I think your confused on what Leno does.
Stand up died when he died...
I miss him dearly. Since I was a teenager he put out a new stand-up special on HBO every year for 30 years give or take. I always caught the premier of his new special. He is my hero.
WOW! Old timers are me now. No wonder we followed this talent for decades. Bless.
What a genius. A once in a lifetime kind of guy. We miss you George. Thanks for the memories. Thru your tirades, your angst, your dialogue and your observations, you taught us so so much. Because you always, absolutely always, spoke the truth.
It's not fair that George isn't still around to make us laugh.
What the fuck did you just say?
It's "not fair" that he was ill and wouldn't have wanted to be "around"........still
its not fair hes not around today with the millennial fucktard liberal shit going on.. endless comedy there.....
@@monkadelic13 I think you mean low-hanging fruit that low-brow imbeciles call "comedy".

Not the best Carlin here.

i died laughing when he said "Go on Jeopardy and never press the button" LMAOOOOO XD

Gone but never forgotten! A true master of observation and honesty.
This guy was absolutely hilarious way ahead of his time
We adore and miss you, George Carlin!
George was the funniest guy I ever heard!
I saw him when he was doing the What am I doing in New Jersey? tour. I have never laughed so hard in my life. RIP George, you are truly missed
All of his greatest hits in one act.
This guy was absolutely hilarious
The man was and still is genius Makes my day! Love it!
"When you go to a bar in Pittburgh and wake up in Switzerland with a clown suit on." Oh, memories.
That sounds more like an LSD trip

I love his last joke. That’s hilarious! I’ve never gotten a sewing kit at a hotel so that must be an old thing but still what a fantastic idea.
Absolutely loved this guy he was hilarious
You laughed at this? I've heard/seen better comedy in cat cemeteries.
miss this guy lol

Doesn't matter what stage/platform he's on, he always owns it. The man was born to perform in front of many people. Such a natural
But this routine proves it works regardless of audience
So funny - and I have just discovered George Carlin. Lots of enjoyable laughs coming at my place as I find more of him on You Tube.
Love this guy. He is a genius of funny .
God I miss him. He was the soundtrack of my youth.
Rest in peace George you were the best

Greatest George
George carlin a legend
This video is definitive proof of the genius of George Carlin. No swear words or obscene gestures. Just non stop laughs. Wish he was around still!
Omg....there will never be another George! Loved him!
He just summed up about 42 years of quality, insightful comedy into less than 400 seconds
Thank goodness Goerge Carlin has been my best friend,getting me through Quarantine. 🙏🤕🤣😅
"I say the glass is too big" Brilliant...
The one and only GC...

He's fantastic. I love Bill Hicks too..Both truly blessed comedians. X
THE ULTIMATE SMART PERSON'S COMEDIAN!!! WE ARE SO MUCH MORE DIMINISHED BY LOSING THIS MAN!!!
“Things you’ll never see?Someone taking a shit while running full speed!” Carlin.
That jeopardy joke was gold. xD
that's how much Alex Trebec is a part of American Culture. like he's a regular friend, because he stops by every night for half an hour of fun.
George would have a field day with all the gratuitous stupidity we have to put with in 2022 !! RIP, George.
