@@bluetheminx In 1992, when this video was shot, people didn't yet seriously consider that the human race was on its way OUT. It's obvious now, but it wasn't back then. And the vast majority of people knew what AIDS was, but didn't really see it as a threat to humanity in general, since they hadn't lived through an actual pandemic. That's why people say Carlin was ahead of his time.
@@frankpentangeli7945 wow what knowledge and credentials you must be blessed with to speak for the entire human race . It’s actually hilarious because ancient civilizations (who’s knowledge has been lost to history) not only understood these things but also predicted future civilizations and their impact on the environment .

@@bluetheminx You're ridiculous. How can you possibly know that "ancient civilizations ... understood these things but also predicted future civilizations and their impact on the environment" IF THEIR KNOWLEDGE HAS BEEN LOST TO HISTORY?!? Are you a time traveler or clairvoyant? What "ancient civilizations" are you referring to, and what did they say about future civilizations and their impact on the environment exactly?

8:00 "It just is. And so are we. For a little while. Thanks for being here with me for a little while tonight." Makes me tear up and bawl my eyes out every time. This guy was basically my father figure after my dad passed. I first saw his material in the late 90s. My siblings and mom all introduced me to him when I was in my single digit age. Probably too young for a kid to be watching his material lmao but he spoke the truth. Understand that some people miss him more than family and those people miss the way he made sense of the world. I'm waiting for the next Carlin and we'll probably never get him. I did standup in high school and tried to be like him and I never could do it. Can't be done. George Carlin is one of a kind and can't be replicated, though in my youth I wished I could be him.
I happened upon this channel by chance because I saw George Carlin and he’s one of my all time favorite comedians. After watching a few of your other reactions I very much appreciated the honest, intellectual commentary you give on the various topics. As well as the fairness and grace you approach talking about men and women. It immediately made me think that you must have amazing parents/role models. You’ve earned yourself a sub. Never change 🙏🏽
After I see a video that I like, I often read the comments. Generally I’m looking for an insight that has been thought out and has a perspective that is deeper than a shallow statement of amazement. I felt the exact same way as you. I also stumbled on to this channel because of George and ended enjoying her perspective even more. Also becoming a sub. Thanks
I learned about George after he was already gone. This speech is one of his wisest. Growing old, I find comfort in the fact that everything ends. Maybe just because I soon will. When I first heard this bit and the imagery hit, it was a calm moment. I was able to stop worrying for a sec. It’ll be over somewhen. Life is a miracle and a wonder all the more, with or without me.
This monologue actually reminded me of a poem, "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Sara Teasdale. It is a bit morbid at the end, but the image it paints and the quiet feeling of realizing the magnitude of the planet's history it leaves feels related to both your thoughts and Carlin's. Thanks for the reaction. - Cheers
The verse fits very well: "And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn, Would scarcely know that we were gone." I've made a note to read more of her work.
George himself finally realized, and defined himself, as more of a writer than as simply a comedian. His routines towards the end of his life (such as this one) reflect in many ways Mark Twain's "Letters From the Earth", which I can recommend...
This is absolutely his best skit from his greatest stand up routine. I was like 16 when it came out and even back then it got me to think. I saw George differently. He spoke truth to power. And how about the bit on viruses? That hits pretty profound now.
Hmm, that's pretty cynical. Another George Carlin comes around every couple of generations. Mark Twain was a similar mind, Hitchens was another. Even Musk is somewhat of a genius, but more in adapting engineering and production, and not in art and philosophy.
This was such an important monologue to me years ago because it put in words all the things I wanted to say to my "ecologically aware" friends. I love nature, it's a nice thing to have but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
I said on the previous video you mentioned: Bo Burnham, especially content from his Netflix special "Inside", is worth checking out. I wouldn't rank him as a modern George Carlin, I don't think anyone really comes close, but he has a fantastic ability to point out flawed societal norms, comment on mental health, and occasionally sing about existential dread, all while being very entertaining and hilarious.
I watched this concert on HBO in 1991, and the last part that was edited was " It doesn't punish, it doesn't reward, it just is, for a little while, thanks for being here for a little while with me. George Carlin was the true professor of comedy.
Great job, so many people reacting to this barely listen and stop the video every 20 seconds... you listened properly and gave your own insights... Carlin was ahead of his time which is obvious when listening to this 30 year old video. Great work. Thanks ❤

Without being the same necessarily in presentation, in terms of language and consideration, Bill Burr, Patrice Oneal and Louis CK form a powerful combo with approaching language and discussions about people from very different perspectives and comedic approaches. However it appears Dave Chappelle may be approaching George Carlin level monologue comedy indvidually.
So, I have to say. I discovered this video and you through the algorithm's today. I've watched a handful of your videos right now and have subscribed. You get right to the content and your reaction/analysis is pretty spot on/thought-provoking.
There’s only one George Carlin. It would be impossible to find someone like him in the present day but there are many comedians similar to him; Bill Burr, Doug Stanhope, Bill Hicks, Dave Chapelle just to name a few
Uncle George was at his most genius when it came to observational comedy and wordplay. My two favorite genres that he included in his routines. The things we all have or share in common and exploiting the ambiguities of the language we use. Check out George's "Modern Man" routine. Talk about spitting bars!!!
I litterally watch almost every comedian and i can say Carlin was and still is the GOAT. İn the senses of the content and execution. His bits always have more than comics so he pushes you to think about it and his way to doing it just unique. You can even say his executions are like songs or marches, it always have some kinds of rhythm. Some times fast and some times slow, some times loud and some times in whispers. He is a true virtuoso! So no comic has his abilities at the same time, Chapelle good at content, Gervais good at content and usage of scientific materials but none of them is a Carlin. And thank you so much for the great reaction videos!
Yes, George and Lenny Bruce were two great teachers. They taught truth through humor because they knew that humor made reality more palatable I would recommend you re-think Elon and his goal because it adds to what George is saying. Expanding our awareness to see the galaxy as a much bigger place is a way to deal with over population, new discoveries. (Space exploration always does that ) and maybe encourages that " we are part of something bigger " mantra .
First, great video. That George Carlin skit is a masterpiece. Your commentary was also well laid out, intelligent, and spoken in a slow and direct manner which I don't think enough people appreciate. My only "gripe" if you will is about your feelings of going to Mars. My own personal belief is that consciousness is something to be treasured. In all of earths four and a half billion years of life, humans are the first species to have it. Extinction is the fate of all species ever born on earth. It is my hope that humanity can escape that fate. Even if it is only passing the torch of consciousness to possible future human creations who will outlive us.
George Carlin is one of my favourite comedians. I didn't always agree with everything he said but I love his perspectives. My favourite of his is the 'American Dream'. It's also a sketch that I agree with entirely. Great reaction by the way, keep up the good work!
I’ve seen everyone of George carlin specials but lately it’s starting to be obvious how much of a philosopher he was So much everything he says can be applied 30 years later

EXCELLENT reaction! There will never be a another George Carlin. He wasn't just a comedian. George was a philosopher who could make you second guess your own beliefs!
Interesting that you mentioned Thoreau's " Walden" as a literary reference, for the recommendation that I have has a connection to that poem as well. My recommendation is to watch the live version of Nightwish at Tampere "Greatest Show on Earth". It is long but has many literary references along with many musical references as well. But, there is also a piece called "My Walden" at this same show which is also worth a watch, and possible reaction and comment. Should you choose to do the "Greatest Show on Earth" make sure that you watch all the way through the credits. It was the last thing to be performed at this concert. Here is the link with subtitles so you won't get too lost: ruclips.net/video/4hTAV1WpZiA/видео.html Note: This will be out of your normal wheelhouse of things that you have done, but growth is getting to know new stuff.
I liked your reaction to this… I feel like I should once again recommend that you read “the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy” I know it might not be for everyone but it certainly expanded my imagination And that is a very powerful thing Have a great day
I always enjoy a bit of George Carlin. Thanks for the audio book links! While not a comedian I'm late to discover musician "Tom MacDonald". He incorporates his views and insights into his lyrical bars. So far I've enjoyed his music and his use of it to bring attention to different issues.
He was so good at poking at social norms, etc., whilst making you laugh - often in a degree of discomfort as his truths struck home. The planet will go on, humanity likely will not, and who, ultimately, will care?
George Carlin was very special, a genius. Thank you for reminding him to my generation and introducing him to yours. You definitely earn a sub with your commentary and style. Don't change, keep the good work going. Appreciate it.
Happy Friday!! Thanks for another George Carlin reaction. George was a philosopher,a visionary and is greatly missed.He has so much for you to experience. "The American Dream", "Modern Man", "Religion is Bullshit", The 10 Commandments"...as always, I appreciate your style and perspective and look forward to your next upload! ✌️ ☮️ 🇱🇷
Intelligent young woman with grace and thought. Thank you No Protocol, you have helped restore my faith in the younger generations. I trusted it would happen, eventually. Thank you for your example. I subscribed.
This is the only George Carlin bit that I've had some trouble with. I can understand the overall point he's trying to make, but I feel like worrying about other animals is a little bit our duty since it is our actions that is causing global warming and the current mass extinctions.
"our actions that is causing global warming" you are wrong about that one. Global warming and cooling is something the earth has experienced before we were here and there will be after we are gone. Sure we are contributing to the process but nothing more. The carbon cycle / data on co2 level though the millions/billions of years before us is a good way to start. It is not wrong to do something but it should be something that makes sense and not stupid stuff like "plant trees n shit". Planting trees btw does not help it only moves the problem of co2 into the future and makes it a problem for those that come after us, trees are a bad co2 storage after all. No hate but reading the same stuff again and again gets a bit old.
Our actions are speeding up global warming, not causing it. History has been very clearly defined by scientists with multiple global warmings and ice ages and ozone thickness changes long before humans ever existed. Started prior to even Mammals being a thing actually. I get your point though, but I don't like it when it is said like that, it wreaks of politics and sensationalizing. Characterizing the problem, and its scope, correctly matters. If accuracy can be ignored for the sake of a gut punch, we might as well pull random numbers out of the ether. Also, fun fact, or scary fact, the mass extinction of animals by humanity is not a modern problem. We have traced its occurrence at our hand to our earliest ancestors. A bit of a scary thought as the implication is that we evolved naturally to exploit and prey upon the environment in the most destructive fashion from the very beginning. Reminds me of The Matrix where Agent Smith compares humanities behavior to nothing else that has ever lived save for a virus.
This is a rare video where I disagree with George's opinion. People have done some pretty amazing things that other creatures on the planet wouldn't be capable of for long periods of time if at all. The ego is both our enemy and best friend I think. Me personally, I'm interested in growing fruit that is becoming extinct. Things he said that weren't speculation I agree with like the fact that the globe has been handling itself far longer than we've been around. I think at the end of the day we are animals and we are designed to ensure and care about the longevity of our species. As a race, humans one goal is to survive and keep repopulating so I don't consider that to be selfish as much as the natural order. I think any species capable of preventing their own extinction, would if given the chance or knowledge.
There's no one like George. His bits makes people use our critical thinking and ponder. The brilliance of this man was/ is unequal and though he has inspired the newer generations of comedians no one does it quite like him
I've always loved that ending. Nature/the universe don't have any meaning, it just is. It's humans that like to give meaning to everything, we like to put stamps on everything
I really love your introduction on your reactions and the fact of watch a smart Lady with lots of knowledge on things. For once I enjoy a reaction. Hi from Kenya.
He’s saying that climate change isn’t bad, as long as you don’t care about all the animals we kill, disruptions to the ecosystem, and the death of humanity
There is no one like George Carlin. He had a way of getting across important issues with humor. No preaching but always had a point to everything. Love both books and that got you a instant follow. Truly enjoyed
I’ve read most of Chuck P’s catalog, I’ve always liked his writing. And it’s funny you mentioned Walden, somebody was talking about that book to me just the other day. Good video.
I have just found your channel. I have started going through some of the other videos you have done. I really hope you continue and have the success you hope to get.
The part where George says when we are gone that the earth will cleanse itself made me remember when we were on covid lockdown. There were reports that because of all the millions of people that weren't driving to work or traveling etc, that the air quality was almost immediately better. You could actually see the difference visually how much less smog there was.
Hey, nice analysis. It is refreshing to hear an analysis from an intelligent person as yourself. I have heard/seen other reaction videos on this same act and other acts, and they often didn't see/hear what the message is all about, when Carlin would do his comedy rants.
I loved this video. He was so intelligent and loved the way that you explained how you thought of the monologue. I don't know if there is anyone that could be compared to George Carlin. Thanks for sharing this.
Seen Carlin 4x and will forever remember so many of his rants. Carlin is and was a brilliant thinker, linguist and comedian. For some additional Carlin brilliance, check out his Modern Man rant. Mind blowing!
I’ve just discovered you, and if I may give you a compliment, you are very beautiful, but you’re even more intelligent. It’s very rare to find a reactor that can actually go as deep into these as you are doing. And plus you have a great personality that makes the viewer want to listen.

dam you smart I enjoy watching your reactions it's nice to see a reasonable person, which is rare these days George Carlin a true legend no words needed
Hi, I just discovered your chanel, and I'm a big fan! Love the (minimal) intro, and your introspection about each video, especially the history ones. Keep it up! Liked and subscribed!!
George Carlin is genius. Nobody wants to tell people we can't be bothered to help each other. Your take on language is spot on. I try so hard to get people to talk different, cuz they're chatter is mean. They don't receive. But props. Thanks for being straight with it. Good luck.
What people don't always appreciate, is the sheer volume of ideas presented by Carlin, all in rapid fire fashion. The man was an intellectual giant.
So much were the assemblers of the Bible and American Constitution.

@@c_n_b "Every forward thinking person agrees" isn't something I believe any forward thinking person would say. We don't NEED a two-planet species, that's just ego. We may want one, but we can't even respect Earth in the bare minimum to be considering other planets.
EXCELLENT reaction!
There will never be a another George Carlin. He wasn't just a comedian. George was a philosopher who could make you second guess your own beliefs!
Interesting that you mentioned Thoreau's " Walden" as a literary reference, for the recommendation that I have has a connection to that poem as well. My recommendation is to watch the live version of Nightwish at Tampere "Greatest Show on Earth". It is long but has many literary references along with many musical references as well. But, there is also a piece called "My Walden" at this same show which is also worth a watch, and possible reaction and comment. Should you choose to do the "Greatest Show on Earth" make sure that you watch all the way through the credits. It was the last thing to be performed at this concert. Here is the link with subtitles so you won't get too lost: ruclips.net/video/4hTAV1WpZiA/видео.html
Note: This will be out of your normal wheelhouse of things that you have done, but growth is getting to know new stuff.
I thought of the same thing when she mentioned that
Came to say the same thing. Glad to see I'm not the only one! :)
thank you. I appreciate a person who is articulate and critical.
I liked your reaction to this…
I feel like I should once again recommend that you read “the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy”
I know it might not be for everyone but it certainly expanded my imagination
And that is a very powerful thing
Have a great day
I read it years ago actually!
Thank you Again! I'm subscribed. And always will.
I always enjoy a bit of George Carlin. Thanks for the audio book links!
While not a comedian I'm late to discover musician "Tom MacDonald". He incorporates his views and insights into his lyrical bars. So far I've enjoyed his music and his use of it to bring attention to different issues.
You're welcome!
i watched your Bill Burr vid. You are a savvy young women, just like my granddaughter. Good for you! I can die HAPPY!!!
He was so good at poking at social norms, etc., whilst making you laugh - often in a degree of discomfort as his truths struck home. The planet will go on, humanity likely will not, and who, ultimately, will care?
I care about the existence of humans. You aren’t cool for pretending not to.
@@jaredf6205 What pretense?
George Carlin was very special, a genius. Thank you for reminding him to my generation and introducing him to yours.
You definitely earn a sub with your commentary and style. Don't change, keep the good work going.
Appreciate it.
Happy Friday!! Thanks for another George Carlin reaction. George was a philosopher,a visionary and is greatly missed.He has so much for you to experience. "The American Dream", "Modern Man", "Religion is Bullshit", The 10 Commandments"...as always, I appreciate your style and perspective and look forward to your next upload! ✌️ ☮️ 🇱🇷
Intelligent young woman with grace and thought. Thank you No Protocol, you have helped restore my faith in the younger generations. I trusted it would happen, eventually. Thank you for your example. I subscribed.
This is the only George Carlin bit that I've had some trouble with. I can understand the overall point he's trying to make, but I feel like worrying about other animals is a little bit our duty since it is our actions that is causing global warming and the current mass extinctions.
"our actions that is causing global warming" you are wrong about that one. Global warming and cooling is something the earth has experienced before we were here and there will be after we are gone. Sure we are contributing to the process but nothing more. The carbon cycle / data on co2 level though the millions/billions of years before us is a good way to start. It is not wrong to do something but it should be something that makes sense and not stupid stuff like "plant trees n shit". Planting trees btw does not help it only moves the problem of co2 into the future and makes it a problem for those that come after us, trees are a bad co2 storage after all. No hate but reading the same stuff again and again gets a bit old.
Our actions are speeding up global warming, not causing it. History has been very clearly defined by scientists with multiple global warmings and ice ages and ozone thickness changes long before humans ever existed. Started prior to even Mammals being a thing actually. I get your point though, but I don't like it when it is said like that, it wreaks of politics and sensationalizing. Characterizing the problem, and its scope, correctly matters. If accuracy can be ignored for the sake of a gut punch, we might as well pull random numbers out of the ether.
Also, fun fact, or scary fact, the mass extinction of animals by humanity is not a modern problem. We have traced its occurrence at our hand to our earliest ancestors. A bit of a scary thought as the implication is that we evolved naturally to exploit and prey upon the environment in the most destructive fashion from the very beginning. Reminds me of The Matrix where Agent Smith compares humanities behavior to nothing else that has ever lived save for a virus.
you are very easy to listen to. A good communicator. Thoughtful and reasoning.
This is a rare video where I disagree with George's opinion. People have done some pretty amazing things that other creatures on the planet wouldn't be capable of for long periods of time if at all. The ego is both our enemy and best friend I think. Me personally, I'm interested in growing fruit that is becoming extinct. Things he said that weren't speculation I agree with like the fact that the globe has been handling itself far longer than we've been around. I think at the end of the day we are animals and we are designed to ensure and care about the longevity of our species. As a race, humans one goal is to survive and keep repopulating so I don't consider that to be selfish as much as the natural order. I think any species capable of preventing their own extinction, would if given the chance or knowledge.
I love the smile you have it brings a smile to me he has been a great guy to keep our lives a lil stress free with his hummer lol
Is it just me or does she present as an Android?
Yes, complete Samsung
More like Data.
@@laurens6498 LOL I can always appreciate a Star Trek reference
Love a miss George Carlin sooo much..Love from Tumba.🇸🇪🙏👌😇🐐😎😁❤️❤️😁😁😁🇸🇪
I love your reaction to this. Watching it again a year later
One of my favorite George Carlin specials.
There's no one like George. His bits makes people use our critical thinking and ponder. The brilliance of this man was/ is unequal and though he has inspired the newer generations of comedians no one does it quite like him
Always love to hear your Touch on the video. You are very intelligent
I've always loved that ending.
Nature/the universe don't have any meaning, it just is. It's humans that like to give meaning to everything, we like to put stamps on everything
Humans are meaning mongers. We’re so uncomfortable accepting that life is empty and meaningless-and that’s what makes so great.
4 years from now this video will be part of a 'best of' compilation of this channel
Ive watched all of his shows that were recorded alot of years back...nice to see young ppl taking interest in this.
I really love your introduction on your reactions and the fact of watch a smart Lady with lots of knowledge on things. For once I enjoy a reaction. Hi from Kenya.
I really do love your intelligent opinions. I also love that you get comedy.
George has been speaking the truth for decades, sadly not enough people actually listen, comprehend, & learn...
He’s saying that climate change isn’t bad, as long as you don’t care about all the animals we kill, disruptions to the ecosystem, and the death of humanity
There is no one like George Carlin. He had a way of getting across important issues with humor. No preaching but always had a point to everything. Love both books and that got you a instant follow. Truly enjoyed
Thanks for watching (: glad you were already familiar with the books as well!
Carlin was a deep thinker and as many have said he was way ahead of his time. RIP George.
I’ve read most of Chuck P’s catalog, I’ve always liked his writing. And it’s funny you mentioned Walden, somebody was talking about that book to me just the other day. Good video.
Love vids keep up work hope have good weekend and labor day
There isn't anyone comparable to George Carlin. He is truly one of a kind
Love your reaction, love your smile, and love your background picture!
Love the hair up. Yeah, Carlin was a master at delivery and memorization of his routines.
I think this bit and his bit on germs are probably my two favorites
I have just found your channel. I have started going through some of the other videos you have done. I really hope you continue and have the success you hope to get.
The part where George says when we are gone that the earth will cleanse itself made me remember when we were on covid lockdown.
There were reports that because of all the millions of people that weren't driving to work or traveling etc, that the air quality was almost immediately better.
You could actually see the difference visually how much less smog there was.
Hey, nice analysis. It is refreshing to hear an analysis from an intelligent person as yourself. I have heard/seen other reaction videos on this same act and other acts, and they often didn't see/hear what the message is all about, when Carlin would do his comedy rants.
From his 1992 HBO special. George was 55 or so. He'd been at it since the late '50s and been more socially-conscious since the late '60s.
I loved this video. He was so intelligent and loved the way that you explained how you thought of the monologue. I don't know if there is anyone that could be compared to George Carlin. Thanks for sharing this.
Seen Carlin 4x and will forever remember so many of his rants. Carlin is and was a brilliant thinker, linguist and comedian. For some additional Carlin brilliance, check out his Modern Man rant. Mind blowing!
I’ve just discovered you, and if I may give you a compliment, you are very beautiful, but you’re even more intelligent. It’s very rare to find a reactor that can actually go as deep into these as you are doing. And plus you have a great personality that makes the viewer want to listen.
This is the third video from you i have seen, and i have liked all of them, its time to subscribe.
I also love you "no long intro" and then strait to business.
dam you smart
I enjoy watching your reactions
it's nice to see a reasonable person, which is rare these days
George Carlin a true legend no words needed
NO PROTOCOL is just the perfect name.... I love you, dear.. GREAT SHOW ♥
Thanks Jenna!!
Hi, I just discovered your chanel, and I'm a big fan! Love the (minimal) intro, and your introspection about each video, especially the history ones. Keep it up! Liked and subscribed!!
***channel
Yup Love this bit by him..genius with the words.
I love your outlook on things after the video. Subscribed...
And I can second the recommendation of Walden, great book
George Carlin is genius. Nobody wants to tell people we can't be bothered to help each other. Your take on language is spot on. I try so hard to get people to talk different, cuz they're chatter is mean. They don't receive. But props. Thanks for being straight with it. Good luck.
As always very insightful.
I loved this! George Carlin was a genius. Disagreed with a couple points he made on this topic, but enjoyed it nonetheless ⭐️
Good point about the bees
