@@Breadman-gc8eo Heck, I think it's best way to approach comedy, and especially satire, in general. Because even before cancel culture, some people used to get pissed off at jokes or feel bad.

So this is the best way to approach it in my opinion without most people getting offended.
+cabshdun Who knew? Comedians joke about the things considered important since that gets the most laughs. It's almost like comedians, not just George Carlin, know that politics and religion get lots of laughs if you do a "us vs them" setup.
He actually does a whole routine in this same special where he talks about "Things you never hear." eg. "After i shove this hot poker up my ass, I'm going to chop my dick off!" You never hear that! George Carlin was probably the first person to ever put those words together in that particular order!
He was against conservatives and religious people, against rape victim blaming, pro-choice, he defended gay people, has said he agrees with most of philosophy of feminist ideas, and called out police brutality against blacks before it was cool.

well, he once said that he despises groups, but loves individuals. i think that applies to his bit here. he doesn't hate people in general, just when they get together.
The word smart is a misnomer. You could have the IQ of Stephen Hawking, but if you lack common sense you may as well be a moron. I prefer the term wise. He just had something that a lot of people don't... COMMON FUCKING SENSE.
@@noahafamilycompany8952 Plenty of comedians out there that never said something controversial to make people laugh, it's just another shade of humor: to take something serious, and making you see it on the other part of the medal in a funny way.
This guy was woke before all of us. Edit: All you bozos that keep replying telling me the obvious "woke is x" NO shit, my comment is 3 years old, back then it was still a term that didn't have the negative stigma it does today.
as a rape survivor who’s slowly coming to terms with my story, being able to laugh about it, strangely enough, makes me feel so empowered edit: thank you all for the feedback and your own personal insights. i, too, understand that the line between humor and bigotry/ignorance seems thin, but i think the intention behind jokes like these matters a lot. besides, it's more so that- joking about something suddenly points out the absurdity of smallness of said thing. it gives a perspective of, "hey. maybe i can move on from this". i also want to address some of the fellow survivors who are reading this or are in my replies. bless your soul, and i hope you grieve and process as you need to. reach out to a friend. invest time into yourself and your hobbies. eat well and take as much rest as you need. you got this, and you can get through this!
i think that humor can aid in reflection and helps you to process your trauma. combine that with the feeling that you've overcome this awful event by laughing about it and it just proves the old addage that laughter is the best medicine. hope ur doin okay
Personally always thought r jokes pissed survivors off because it normalised r. Having to take a reassessment of how I think rn, that people who are affected by trauma can still enjoy comedy about it. It’s a nice feeling to reassess.
What I appreciate is that Carlin ridicules rapists, not rape victims, and I think that is the key issue when discussing what place, if any, rape as a subject has in comedy.
@@simrenbajaj6000 It reminds me how Jiminy Glick (martin short) handled Mel Brooks saying "what's your big beef with the Nazis? You're always knocking the nazis" Mel was completely stunned and found it funny before retorting "oh I think they're rude"
I think that's what makes Bill Burr so good. The ability to simplify things to the point where even dumb people could understand. George Carlin and Bill Burr are geniuses!
+Mitt Romney XIIV He's actually pretty popular on tumblr. Tumblr isn't just 'taylor swift' feminists. There are actually intelligent people on there as well.
"I believe you can joke about anything. It all depends on how you construct the joke" A lot of overly sensitive folks should pay attention to that statement.
And a lot of unfunny wannabe comedians too. Because saying something offensive is not a joke. You actually have to deliver something funny to the audience. The "offensive card became a tool to unfunny and lazy comediante that don't have good material but still want to hit the news.
Yeah he narrated 2 seasons of Thomas the Train and was the Conductor in Shining Time Station and Mr Conductor's Thomas Tales episodes. My son loved that when he was growing up, and I actually enjoyed watching them with him. Flipped me out when I heard him narrating season 3 and 4. He then went back and re-narrated the first two seasons. I think this was just the US episodes. He was a great narrator. I have to find that overdub video. I may have seen it before, but need to check.
L Wilson soooo it is funny or not also why single out females, sister mom daughter specifically, what about that 80 year old woman who is probably a grandma

@@epictube51 Yes but it was later in his life that he started noticing the PC tendencies emerging in the left and he said it was the greatest surprise of his life.

JewishWookieSlutFag Ooh if I were trying to be clever I wouldn't repeat myself. I'm not spitting game, I'm speaking the truth. Mean people deserve mean comments.
He's pretty good at not insulting oppressed minority groups. If only the "alt right" could actually learn from George Carlin and we'd have a better world
The most philosophical, deep thinking, misanthrope, open minded comedian of all time. His logic and the way he deconstructs illogical arguments is amazing to watch! I wish I could see his live show.
I saw him live once. By then, I had followed his career for so long that not much of his material was new to me, but it was good to see him in person before he was out of his prime or gone for good.
I heard camera guy also wrote the jokes, organized the event, taught Carlin how to talk, how to perform and how to deliver. Really, he took the spotlight the camera man...
Its mot about ideas and who is it right or wrong its about money power groups. Trying to get away with bigger crimes ...call it freak show for populatiom befor they let it burn... with no money no gold nothing but people wih bullshit jobs and debt....
Read between the lines of the rape jokes and feminism bashing, and George spells out the truth: 4:084:277:35 "A lot of institutions in this country want to control your language. Tell you what you can say and what you can’t say... Government wants to control information and control language because that’s the way you control thought. And basically that’s the game they’re in... We do think in language. And so the quality of our thoughts and ideas can only be as good as the quality of our language."
That was the great thing about George Carlin, his jokes actually got you to think. The things he said, even the parts that were not jokes like the segments you pointed out here, underlined his whole argument. His comedy routines were essentially well argued essays with solid thesis laced with humor, usually of the crude variety.
They've moved on from language, do a little research on online targeted advertising and don't think for a second that this is only used for advertising. Crazy part is we give corporate and political interest groups everything they need with every online post we make.
Its a shame that George Carlin didn't live long enough to see the new feminism; where all genders are equal, but some genders are more equal than others.
The pigeon 258 Actually it was George Orwell who made the argument of how political groups use the phrase equality. I'm merely paraphrasing the line he used when the pigs on the farm had such control over the other animals that they no longer cared about pretenses and re-wrote the rights of the farm as "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." which completely whitewashed the original rights regarding equality.
I was scanning the comments and I have found comments comparing George Carlin to either an SJW or the Alt. Right. Lol! God bless your dead ass, George, for being so controversial that the extremists on either side of the political divide want to put you in the other camp. I miss you. And to answer the comments, I think George was a Moderate. A little bit liberal little bit conservative. Like most sane people.
It's a true sign of ignorance when the knee jerk reaction of someone who disagrees is to assume you're in the other camp. Everyone is so busy bitching about liberal this conservative that, they never even consider libertarianism
It is hilarious. Carlin was super frank and refused to censor himself for anyone. He was considered progressive for the time for sure....but because he challenged the status quo, and the extremes of both sides. He openly ripped apart conservatives and liberals constantly. That's what made him so great.
Ikr! I mean this man perfectly countered the victim blaming and women love him because he was pro choice he supported women wasn’t racist nd an absolute genius. However what I see is men making him look evil to women and saying oh feminist are offended blah blah I mean not a single woman Offended but men like creating crazy shit! Gosh
Danilo Stinghen there is a thin line that separates jokes in comedy and the message that it coveys. Also, "for the most part" is a key phrase here. Certainly that hold true in the past, but does it anymore? In the west. You can agree with feminist philosophers, like Simon De Beauvoir (might have spelled it wrong), keeping in mind of course the historical context in which she wrote (in this case Nazi occupied France), without endorsing the insanity of today.
And this is how you make a rape joke people. The guy bashes rape, patriarchy, the reactionary elements of feminism and corporate capitalism like a boss.
***** George Carlin was an intelligent man and a comedian who had a lot of material and a lot of opinions. He wasn't afraid to express that, especially to an auditorium that couldn't have possibly been completely filled with "fuckin retards". So you're argument is invalid. "Stories" fit his catalogue quite well. This is all my personal opinion though.
We need more comedians who had balls like him, not willing to back down or compromise their thoughts, it's a shame we lost a great man like him back in 2008..
At the beginning when he made jokes about rape, it was funny. Then he went full political and blathered about stay-at-home moms and career women, the whole video became stupid.
i’d love to see Carlin nowadays fight against the conservatives who think he even remotely agrees with them, and the liberals trying to say that he’s too offensive
The soul of comedy is exaggeration and amorality. A comedian can make jokes about the Holocaust without being a Nazi. He can tell rape jokes while thinking rape is an abhorrent crime. He can make fun of Muslims while having no ill will toward them. What PC people need to realize is that comedy doesn't necessarily reflect the true opinions of the comedians. Just because I joke about Dahmer doesn't mean I'm in favor of anything he did.
It’s not about being in favor of what you joke about, it’s making fun of a serious event that’s wrong. The Holocaust wasn’t particularly funny to the victims of it, no matter how much a comedian may make fun of it.
he's pretty level headed and said alot of things feminists agree with. he talked about how he wasnt a fan of punching down. and i noticed when he's describing feminists he's more or less talking about extreme ones.
@@Ralphueyyy0510 Not Radical Feminists. Wokescolds. Carlin actually had a lot in common with Radical feminists. He railed really hard against corporations. Radical feminism is just anti-establishment economics and the intersection with feminism. He's actually criticising liberal feminists a lot in this bit. "You just wanna work a corporate job and destroy the environment and enact all the worst behaviors of men?" He was more radical than we give him credit for. He's just generally against being needlessly offended.
The problem with using the umbrella term “feminist” is that feminism has split off into so many different and even contradictory factions. There are libertarian sex-positive feminists who believe the choice to dress “slutty” is up to the woman and that having sex is a woman’s freedom to choose (libertarian feminism), then there are sex-negative feminists that think free sex and slutty clothing is simply the patriarchy objectifying women (authoritarian feminism, stereotypical SJWs, etc). There’s feminists who believe women should reject the stereotype of being a housewife and that they should go out and get a job. Then there’s feminists who believe it should be the woman’s choice to pursue whatever lifestyle she chooses for herself, be that a housewife or an office worker, or even a blue-collar worker.
@@irishdc9523 No, so people can understand that if I make a joke about rape, I am NOT defending rapists. This is something that people needs to get in their brains at once.
Exactly. He is actually criticising mindless and corporatised feminism which places the pleasures and ambitions of white women at the forefront while abandoning the mass of coloured women. It is a shame that people would reappropriate this very radical and socially sensitive person for their idiotic political positions.
Brilliant even though I was raped at knife point and grown up and recovered in my own way. I centainly believe we should never censor our words. Just love George Carlin. He would be great to see him in Parliament dictating to the members within, they might learn a great lesson.
yes the point is that he is making the rapist out to be a fool in the joke, not the victim. I think the problem is a lot of rape jokes make the victim out to be a fool and that is what causes problems
***** And what could possibly be her motive for lying about her rape in a youtube comment section in which she defends a man's right to joke about rape. You anti-feminist types never cease to amuse me.
The EXACT same thing happened to me, and I'm not making it up. Tho its very hard for most to believe since I'm a dude :( But I'm over it now :) Yet I think (and always thought) Carlin is hilarious in this segment because of the outrageousness of the context. Had he made a reference to a rape case it would be a little different tho. I also know the difference between what is entertainment and what is not. Carlin is PERFORMING here. It's only entertainment, if you take it seriously, the joke is on YOU. It's ALL about perspective. Horrific things happen to everyone around the globe. YOUR horrific event might not be as bad as someone else's horrific event. Read "A Child Called It." The guy's own mom burned him repeatedly and he was like six years old, and I'm bitching about my drunken buddy threatening me to have sex with him at knifepoint? Both events suck, but I can replace my buddies. I can ditch someone who I don't want to hang out with anymore. Can't do that with family unless you are 18+. It's a bitter pill to swallow but yes there are people who have it WORSE than YOU. One of my best friends is autistic and he has epilepsy so he is limited to working part time and taking the bus and walking to get around. People don't want to be near him because of how introverted and socially unaware that society has trained him to be that way (a neat little thing society likes to do with anyone with an 120+ IQ btw. Yeah. We practice brain shaming, yet strive to be smarter. Wrap your head around that). I'm a neurotypical with ZERO health problems, perfectly able in EVERY way. What the FUCK should I be complaining about?
@@danielmihajlica I wouldn't say woke. That didn't mean what it should nowadays. And prophet didn't mean in the religious sense. I know all about his belief system and why he got away from Catholicism. To each his own there. Still though he knew exactly what was coming down the road back then
George Carlin was not alone in his assumptions about the planet- his shows mostly showed the hilarious side of his intelect and misanthropy, however watch George in interviews and chat-shows he most often shows a studious and reasoned side to his persona. People should take that into consideration when assuming him to be totally down on human kind.
I agree with George Carlin. You can joke about anything, rape jokes are hilarious and anyone that says otherwise "Fuck you I think it's hilarious, how do you like that!" 0:25 or to be more specific, all jokes are hilarious if delivered properly.
And a line needs to be drawn so that someone who doesn't deliver the joke properly is considered "a bad joke teller" instead of a "racist/homophobe/bigot"
No, NO. There is "No line" and should never be, comedy should never be stiffled. You are a moron for thinking such a thing. The only thing that changes is whether or not the joke was well delivered(I.e. funny), but joking about anything is always fine in a social situation, whether it be about race, women or babies. Basically "Fuck you, it's hilarious, how do like that?"
Archedgar Yeah White American Dude! You go ahead and tell 'em about how comedy should never be stifled and that it's never offensive; Spoiler alert: the only reason you think that is becaus you're a member of pretty much the most privileged group on the planet. You don't experience racism. You don't experience sexism. You're far less like to be a victim of rape. It's very fucking easy for you to say that nothing should be done about this, you literally don't understand being legitimately offended at something.
Archedgar Haha, wow. Wow. Okay, let's try and respond to this incredibly vitrilolic and ill considered rant, shall we? 1) I stated, correctly, that you were an American. I was being general, you're from Mexico. I'm personally from England, but wouldn't try and catch someone out for saying I'm from the UK, for example. 2) I'd really love to hear your explaination as to how "white men from the United States are the most DISCRIMINATED group in the world" Like, seriously. I can't even imagine that's possible to argue. Please suggest some measure by which we can objectively quantify 'oppression' though, otherwise we'll just be arguing semantics. 3) While admittedly, as a hispanic man, you're more than capable of experiencing racism, it seems you don't quite understand it. Racism is prejudice plus power. Speaking out against a system wherein a certain group has an unfair amount of power isn't racism, it's basically the opposite. Your third paragraph literally doesn't make sense. 4) Interesting that you're calling me human garbage for trying to illustrate the fact that many people, other than yourself, are hurt by these kinds of comments/jokes. For trying to stand up for rape victims. It might be worth looking at the side you're standing on - are you ultimately doing more harm, or good, by telling people to go and 'get raped'.
Charles Johnson that’s why I’m doing my stuff. This stuff needs to be said today. Or else freedom of speech will be a joke and no one will take the US seriously... oh wait Hahahaha
@@crypt0nym0ussec57 I totally respect the post divorce MGTOW guys but there area lot of young guys that use MGTOW to dehumanise and hate on all women. That I am not okay with
The rant on speech regulation/control is more relevant now than ever before. Carlin was the epitome of a liberal back in his prime, yet today he would be considered a far-right extremist by most so called liberals.
He would also be called a SJW by conservatives, what's basically happened is both sides have been polarized so much that they're both just echoing chambers. Any critique of the group (even a minor one) is dismissed and the person is outcast. They'll be called a bigot or a feminazi so anybody who might have listened to them before wouldn't even consider it an option. At the moment you think I'm a rational person on your side but once I tell you I voted for Hillary half of the readers suddenly feel like I betrayed them. Suddenly you find it hard to believe anything I'm saying to be true because how could someone who voted for Hillary have any shred of logic in them? Acknowledging the faults in your party and the good things in the opposing party is necessary if we want to make the world better. It is impossible for half of the country is 100% right and the other half to be 100% wrong so we should listen to each other and compromise. Its how democracy is supposed to work, sadly people get too emotional and don't like to be wrong, even on minor details.
As a liberal (a relatively left-leaning liberal, the LGBT-identifying feminist kind who promotes the further institution of social programs into our nation's government), a lot of what Carlin said makes a lot of sense to me. I still think he'd be considered a liberal (promotes secularism, and individuality among school-age children, opposes capitalism, and as he says here he agrees with most of what feminists say), he just really emphasized freedom of speech (particularly in comedy), which I think is fair. I know there's stuff I wouldn't joke about, and that I think people probably shouldn't joke about, but I know Carlin wasn't a bad guy and his intentions were good.
Can't really be a liberal if you oppose a persons right to their work and property. If they have no freedoms to make decisions about their life and livelihood because you are anti capitalist, what freedoms do they have left if they can no longer live?
I've heard that America is A HELL OF ALOT more sensitive on sexual things, while Europe doesn't care much about it and takes violence very seriously. Is that true? Is it the opposite in Europe?
Androxean Yeah, we're a bunch of psychos when it comes to rape. And when it comes to nudity and kinky sex, a lot of people are a bunch of puritan jackasses. It's not too bad where I live (Oregon) but I hear a lot of the united states is just filled with crybabies. Then at the same time, violence doesn't phase us as much. I'd say, don't let either bother you. Tell rape jokes, violent jokes, etc. Like, "How many cops does it take to screw in a light bulb? None, they just beat the room for being black." We've all heard that one, but that shit should be fine everywhere. Everyone's a teenage girl, I swear.
Androxean Europe certainly doesn't approve of sexual violence, but regular sexuality isn't as frowned upon here as I hear it is in 'murica. In Germany, it's perfectly legal to be nude in public, for example, and even when it's just tits on the TV we don't get scared of it. As far as I can tell, sex is talked about rather openly, and the fact that teenagers have sex even at 13, 14 years is well-known. Well, as far as I know, sex education in school is also mandatory, so... I wouldn't say it's the opposite, but Europe is certainly more open about sex.
***** I'm talking about the entire culture. Just because it's a perfectly fine thing to feel doesn't mean that it should be socially maligned and seen as "odd"
Androxean Nah, we have raunchy humour too. Well, I can speak about France and the U-K. Canada is PC heaven right now so don't even thin about making an offensive joke. Want to see some French dark humour in action? Bernie : www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=15895.html I think the US made a remake, but nothing as dark as the French version I take it (wouldn't know just realized that there's a US made movie called Bernie), yes, there's a rape scene made humorous.
it's not your gender or your race that matters, but how you treat people. learn about grace. deference and humility, when properly returned, work wonders. stop stroking yourself for a second and look for something to bolster in someone else. and try not to use their race or gender as an excuse to do that. JUST BE DECENT.
+EccentricSage If i was Carlin i wouldn't even speak her name just because of that fact. Anita is nothing more then a pus filled wound just drain it, clean it then throw the shit that is Anita in the bin and forget.
on one side, you have a woman who talks about video games and says some dumb shit now and then. On the other side, you've got thousands of angry men and boys who, even years after the initial controversy, still foam at the mouth whenever they hear the word "sarkeesian". Even if carlin didn't laugh you out of the room when you tried to explain this apparently still-huge debacle with the term "ethics in video game journalism", i get the feeling he wouldn't side with you just because a woman on the internet said some things that didn't make you feel good.
My problem with feminism is that it's intellectually dishonest. Feminists like to parrot the "feminism is for everyone" thing by making it out to be about equality and such. Think about this: The very word "feminist" implies something skewed toward the feminine, toward women. And you see it in feminist dogma. If you truly care about and want equality for the sexes, you should identify yourself as a humanist. Anyone who subscribes to "feminism" as an ideology is either someone who supports feminine supremacy or someone who doesn't understand exactly what they are supporting. Both options are equally disturbing.
Kingy King but if it's really about equality for everyone, which is the tagline, then it should be focused on fighting back against oppression, period, but just oppression of women.
Kingy King Exactly the problem. It's equality, _for women_. *_For. Women._* Such a simple matter that it's a wonder so few people see it. Feminism is biased towards women. Biased. Towards ONE group of people. How such an ideology can claim to be for the benefit of all while concerning itself exclusively with the needs and wants of _one_ group is such an overtly flawed notion as to be laughable. Feminism in a modern western setting is little more than a bad joke.
Carlin was a genius. I'd categorize the haters of this video into one of two groups. Group 1- Overly PC: This group completely missed the crux of Carlin's rant. Carlin was a feminist at heart, like most open minded people. He never said that the act of rape is funny and not a serious matter. He makes it quite clear that rape is wrong, and any man who tries to justify it is an idiot. He's saying there shouldn't be any absolute limits on what someone can and can't say, but rather that it should depend on context, construction, and the situation. Group 2- Insensitive Idiots: These are the kind of people that will use this video to justify going around making rape jokes, which will almost certainly be unfunny, insulting, and in poor taste. Yes, Carlin said you can joke about anything, but honestly...99% of us aren't close to being funny or clever enough to pull off a joke that involves the idea of rape in it, so we should probably just avoid the subject altogether, lest we make a total ass of ourselves
Thank you! I didn't think I'd find anybody with some common sense around here. You basically stated what I couldn't summarize into a proper idea. I really thank you for that.
As another poster said in this comment section, he'd be railing harder on the MRAs and the Redpillers than the SJWs... considering Carlin was an SJW himself.
Chad x Look at it this way, if a woman did his "Bombs and Dicks in the Persian Gulf" routine, people would be calling her a man-hating feminazi for blaming all violence on men.
"I also look at war itself a little differently from most. I see it largely as an exercise in dick-waving. That's really all it is: a lot of men standing around in a field waving their dicks at one another. Men, insecure about the size of their penises, choose to kill one another. That's also what all that moron athlete bullshit is all about, and what that macho, male posturing and strutting around in bars and locker rooms represents. It's called 'dick fear.' Men are terrified that their dicks are inadequate, and so they have to 'compete' in order to feel better about themselves. And since war is the ultimate competition, essentially men are killing one another in order to improve their genital self-esteem." - Imagine if this was posted to a random Tumblr blog with no context. Would you even know its part of a George Carlin routine?
Everyone's talking about How great it would be for Carlin to discover and make fun of tumblr, I think it would be even greater to see the stuff he would say about the Westboro Baptist Church.
tumblr or buzzfeed would be funny as fuck. Wetboro baptist church was covered to death by mainstream media. I remember it was so saturated that all the kids at my local middle school were bitching about it.
Respect carlin here. There's a way to be edgy without punching down and he was one of the few that never lost sight of that. He would have worked in today's society.
rape JOKES can be funny. rape is never funny. why is it that everything horrible can be joked about (murder, cannibals, serial killers, pedos, war) but rape is somehow not ok.
Tobias King i don't think that's what that person meant. it's a NATURAL response to feel ashamed when something like that happens, it's the first response of any person, man or woman, to feel shame or humiliation after being raped.
why is it that everything horrible can be joked about (murder, cannibals, serial killers, pedos, war) but rape is somehow not ok It's sad you don't want to understand. Everyone thinks that it's unlikely to be murdered by a serial killer, eaten by a cannibal, be a child abused by a pedophile, suffer from a war. Rape jokes cannot be funny because there is a possibility to be raped as a man in jail or as a woman in real life. Nobody is outside the subject, noboby can enjoy it, only is a masochist. That's why is a taboo, is sacred. Therefore moking rape is stupid, mean, evil, cruel, lack empathy, uncivilized. It show's that there is nothing sacred, nothing precious, no reverence for the human person. No jokes about rope in hangman's house. A black ball to Carlin.
@Ultra66 So the word of Chris-Chan's antics made this far, huh...? Yikes. EDIT:"Also Carlin's exclamation of "WHY?!" was my reaction when I heard about what Chris-Chan did to his mom. Because Who TF is THAT desperate?"

as a rape survivor who’s slowly coming to terms with my story, being able to laugh about it, strangely enough, makes me feel so empowered
edit: thank you all for the feedback and your own personal insights. i, too, understand that the line between humor and bigotry/ignorance seems thin, but i think the intention behind jokes like these matters a lot. besides, it's more so that- joking about something suddenly points out the absurdity of smallness of said thing. it gives a perspective of, "hey. maybe i can move on from this".
i also want to address some of the fellow survivors who are reading this or are in my replies. bless your soul, and i hope you grieve and process as you need to. reach out to a friend. invest time into yourself and your hobbies. eat well and take as much rest as you need. you got this, and you can get through this!
i think that humor can aid in reflection and helps you to process your trauma. combine that with the feeling that you've overcome this awful event by laughing about it and it just proves the old addage that laughter is the best medicine. hope ur doin okay
Personally always thought r jokes pissed survivors off because it normalised r. Having to take a reassessment of how I think rn, that people who are affected by trauma can still enjoy comedy about it.
It’s a nice feeling to reassess.
Makes me sad to think about it

My son loved that when he was growing up, and I actually enjoyed watching them with him. Flipped me out when I heard him narrating season 3 and 4. He then went back and re-narrated the first two seasons. I think this was just the US episodes. He was a great narrator. I have to find that overdub video.

Read between the lines of the rape jokes and feminism bashing, and George spells out the truth:
4:08 4:27 7:35
"A lot of institutions in this country want to control your language. Tell you what you can say and what you can’t say... Government wants to control information and control language because that’s the way you control thought. And basically that’s the game they’re in... We do think in language. And so the quality of our thoughts and ideas can only be as good as the quality of our language."
That was the great thing about George Carlin, his jokes actually got you to think. The things he said, even the parts that were not jokes like the segments you pointed out here, underlined his whole argument. His comedy routines were essentially well argued essays with solid thesis laced with humor, usually of the crude variety.
They've moved on from language, do a little research on online targeted advertising and don't think for a second that this is only used for advertising. Crazy part is we give corporate and political interest groups everything they need with every online post we make.
wdkaye also listen between 5:00 to 7:00
wdkaye he is not against equality, an he does not thinks man are superior
wdkaye it really makes one think "How Small is Trump if he is afraid that Kim Jung Un has a bigger rod than him?"
Its a shame that George Carlin didn't live long enough to see the new feminism; where all genders are equal, but some genders are more equal than others.
Are you okay in your head? "some are more equal"? Do you want a dictionary?
buy yourself a copy of Animal Farm.
I think he might be thankful for that.
+manya more equal means they demand more than they deserve
The pigeon 258 Actually it was George Orwell who made the argument of how political groups use the phrase equality. I'm merely paraphrasing the line he used when the pigs on the farm had such control over the other animals that they no longer cared about pretenses and re-wrote the rights of the farm as "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." which completely whitewashed the original rights regarding equality.
I was scanning the comments and I have found comments comparing George Carlin to either an SJW or the Alt. Right. Lol!
God bless your dead ass, George, for being so controversial that the extremists on either side of the political divide want to put you in the other camp. I miss you.
And to answer the comments, I think George was a Moderate. A little bit liberal little bit conservative. Like most sane people.
Yep, he was a "tired of everybody's shit"-ican for sure.
It's a true sign of ignorance when the knee jerk reaction of someone who disagrees is to assume you're in the other camp. Everyone is so busy bitching about liberal this conservative that, they never even consider libertarianism
@@benstephens34 he's not moderate, he's apathetic
He was neither, he bashed both by saying he doesnt give a shit about politics.
It is hilarious. Carlin was super frank and refused to censor himself for anyone. He was considered progressive for the time for sure....but because he challenged the status quo, and the extremes of both sides. He openly ripped apart conservatives and liberals constantly. That's what made him so great.
The man who predicted the future, genius gone way too soon
“Fuck you, I think it’s hilarious, how do ya like that?”
This is why he was a legend 😂
Ikr! I mean this man perfectly countered the victim blaming and women love him because he was pro choice he supported women wasn’t racist nd an absolute genius.

I got In trouble in school for saying your mum jokes to my own mates because some fat mindless feminazi reported me fuck pc bitches
tommy tran So, jokes are prohibited now.
What foresight? This was actually happening when he said it.
Brian Jordan as much as today?
Danilo Stinghen there is a thin line that separates jokes in comedy and the message that it coveys. Also, "for the most part" is a key phrase here. Certainly that hold true in the past, but does it anymore? In the west.
You can agree with feminist philosophers, like Simon De Beauvoir (might have spelled it wrong), keeping in mind of course the historical context in which she wrote (in this case Nazi occupied France), without endorsing the insanity of today.
And this is how you make a rape joke people. The guy bashes rape, patriarchy, the reactionary elements of feminism and corporate capitalism like a boss.
***** what do you mean by what does he mean by what do you mean he isnt funny?
***** George Carlin was an intelligent man and a comedian who had a lot of material and a lot of opinions. He wasn't afraid to express that, especially to an auditorium that couldn't have possibly been completely filled with "fuckin retards". So you're argument is invalid.

I'm still waiting for Late Night with David Letterperson to air
The soul of comedy is exaggeration and amorality. A comedian can make jokes about the Holocaust without being a Nazi. He can tell rape jokes while thinking rape is an abhorrent crime. He can make fun of Muslims while having no ill will toward them. What PC people need to realize is that comedy doesn't necessarily reflect the true opinions of the comedians. Just because I joke about Dahmer doesn't mean I'm in favor of anything he did.
....no cannibalism? Well, speak for yourself sir.
ballparkfrank33 It's just not my thing :P
Yes.
It’s not about being in favor of what you joke about, it’s making fun of a serious event that’s wrong. The Holocaust wasn’t particularly funny to the victims of it, no matter how much a comedian may make fun of it.
He attacked feminists, politicians, men, religion, political correctness, edginess and housewives; all in under 10 minutes... Jesus!
he's pretty level headed and said alot of things feminists agree with. he talked about how he wasnt a fan of punching down. and i noticed when he's describing feminists he's more or less talking about extreme ones.
He made fun of everyone, that's why he was amazing :)
I think he hated the Radical Feminist not the Movements itself
did you watch the same video I did? lol
@@Ralphueyyy0510
Not Radical Feminists. Wokescolds.
Carlin actually had a lot in common with Radical feminists. He railed really hard against corporations. Radical feminism is just anti-establishment economics and the intersection with feminism. He's actually criticising liberal feminists a lot in this bit.
"You just wanna work a corporate job and destroy the environment and enact all the worst behaviors of men?"
He was more radical than we give him credit for. He's just generally against being needlessly offended.
The problem with using the umbrella term “feminist” is that feminism has split off into so many different and even contradictory factions. There are libertarian sex-positive feminists who believe the choice to dress “slutty” is up to the woman and that having sex is a woman’s freedom to choose (libertarian feminism), then there are sex-negative feminists that think free sex and slutty clothing is simply the patriarchy objectifying women (authoritarian feminism, stereotypical SJWs, etc).
There’s feminists who believe women should reject the stereotype of being a housewife and that they should go out and get a job. Then there’s feminists who believe it should be the woman’s choice to pursue whatever lifestyle she chooses for herself, be that a housewife or an office worker, or even a blue-collar worker.

Brilliant even though I was raped at knife point and grown up and recovered in my own way. I centainly believe we should never censor our words. Just love George Carlin. He would be great to see him in Parliament dictating to the members within, they might learn a great lesson.
yes the point is that he is making the rapist out to be a fool in the joke, not the victim. I think the problem is a lot of rape jokes make the victim out to be a fool and that is what causes problems

Why do you even need to know? ....
The EXACT same thing happened to me, and I'm not making it up. Tho its very hard for most to believe since I'm a dude :( But I'm over it now :)
Yet I think (and always thought) Carlin is hilarious in this segment because of the outrageousness of the context. Had he made a reference to a rape case it would be a little different tho. I also know the difference between what is entertainment and what is not. Carlin is PERFORMING here. It's only entertainment, if you take it seriously, the joke is on YOU.
It's ALL about perspective. Horrific things happen to everyone around the globe. YOUR horrific event might not be as bad as someone else's horrific event. Read "A Child Called It." The guy's own mom burned him repeatedly and he was like six years old, and I'm bitching about my drunken buddy threatening me to have sex with him at knifepoint? Both events suck, but I can replace my buddies. I can ditch someone who I don't want to hang out with anymore. Can't do that with family unless you are 18+.
It's a bitter pill to swallow but yes there are people who have it WORSE than YOU. One of my best friends is autistic and he has epilepsy so he is limited to working part time and taking the bus and walking to get around. People don't want to be near him because of how introverted and socially unaware that society has trained him to be that way (a neat little thing society likes to do with anyone with an 120+ IQ btw. Yeah. We practice brain shaming, yet strive to be smarter. Wrap your head around that). I'm a neurotypical with ZERO health problems, perfectly able in EVERY way. What the FUCK should I be complaining about?

George Carlin was not alone in his assumptions about the planet- his shows mostly showed the hilarious side of his intelect and misanthropy, however watch George in interviews and chat-shows he most often shows a studious and reasoned side to his persona. People should take that into consideration when assuming him to be totally down on human kind.
Well if he was "doing his show" all the time, he would be boring and seen as an extremist.. Decorum helps to show he is a human.
I agree with George Carlin.
You can joke about anything, rape jokes are hilarious and anyone that says otherwise "Fuck you I think it's hilarious, how do you like that!" 0:25 or to be more specific, all jokes are hilarious if delivered properly.
And a line needs to be drawn so that someone who doesn't deliver the joke properly is considered "a bad joke teller" instead of a "racist/homophobe/bigot"
No, NO.
There is "No line" and should never be, comedy should never be stiffled. You are a moron for thinking such a thing. The only thing that changes is whether or not the joke was well delivered(I.e. funny), but joking about anything is always fine in a social situation, whether it be about race, women or babies.
Basically "Fuck you, it's hilarious, how do like that?"
Archedgar Did you just stop reading what I said after "line?" Because "comedy should never be stiffled" was my point.

You go ahead and tell 'em about how comedy should never be stifled and that it's never offensive; Spoiler alert: the only reason you think that is becaus you're a member of pretty much the most privileged group on the planet. You don't experience racism. You don't experience sexism. You're far less like to be a victim of rape. It's very fucking easy for you to say that nothing should be done about this, you literally don't understand being legitimately offended at something.
Archedgar
Haha, wow. Wow.
Okay, let's try and respond to this incredibly vitrilolic and ill considered rant, shall we?
1) I stated, correctly, that you were an American. I was being general, you're from Mexico. I'm personally from England, but wouldn't try and catch someone out for saying I'm from the UK, for example.
2) I'd really love to hear your explaination as to how "white men from the United States are the most DISCRIMINATED group in the world" Like, seriously. I can't even imagine that's possible to argue. Please suggest some measure by which we can objectively quantify 'oppression' though, otherwise we'll just be arguing semantics.
3) While admittedly, as a hispanic man, you're more than capable of experiencing racism, it seems you don't quite understand it. Racism is prejudice plus power. Speaking out against a system wherein a certain group has an unfair amount of power isn't racism, it's basically the opposite. Your third paragraph literally doesn't make sense.
4) Interesting that you're calling me human garbage for trying to illustrate the fact that many people, other than yourself, are hurt by these kinds of comments/jokes. For trying to stand up for rape victims. It might be worth looking at the side you're standing on - are you ultimately doing more harm, or good, by telling people to go and 'get raped'.
The wit, humor, logic, and criticisms of this man will be very sorely missed.
Between #Metoo and MGTOW, George would have had a field day today.
Don't forget the fucking incels
Charles Johnson that’s why I’m doing my stuff. This stuff needs to be said today. Or else freedom of speech will be a joke and no one will take the US seriously... oh wait Hahahaha
@@theyamo7219 What would he say about Incels or Social Justice Warriors
Metoo and incels
MGTOW is aight. They're mostly post-divorce guys reminding eachother to not get married.
@@crypt0nym0ussec57 I totally respect the post divorce MGTOW guys but there area lot of young guys that use MGTOW to dehumanise and hate on all women. That I am not okay with
about time we stopped calling him a comedian and start calling him a philosopher and orator
the part about white women not caring enough about women of other races is so true though
Keletubby N YUP!!!!
No one cares about anyone dude. Nothing has changed
@Hans Landa So you want people to get less abortions?
You want more people?
YOU WANT MORE PEOPLE?
I could say the same thing about black women
The rant on speech regulation/control is more relevant now than ever before. Carlin was the epitome of a liberal back in his prime, yet today he would be considered a far-right extremist by most so called liberals.
He would also be called a SJW by conservatives, what's basically happened is both sides have been polarized so much that they're both just echoing chambers. Any critique of the group (even a minor one) is dismissed and the person is outcast. They'll be called a bigot or a feminazi so anybody who might have listened to them before wouldn't even consider it an option. At the moment you think I'm a rational person on your side but once I tell you I voted for Hillary half of the readers suddenly feel like I betrayed them. Suddenly you find it hard to believe anything I'm saying to be true because how could someone who voted for Hillary have any shred of logic in them? Acknowledging the faults in your party and the good things in the opposing party is necessary if we want to make the world better. It is impossible for half of the country is 100% right and the other half to be 100% wrong so we should listen to each other and compromise. Its how democracy is supposed to work, sadly people get too emotional and don't like to be wrong, even on minor details.
He was a libertarian
John Smith exactly, he doesn’t say something specifically because of a label but just because that’s what he believes
As a liberal (a relatively left-leaning liberal, the LGBT-identifying feminist kind who promotes the further institution of social programs into our nation's government), a lot of what Carlin said makes a lot of sense to me. I still think he'd be considered a liberal (promotes secularism, and individuality among school-age children, opposes capitalism, and as he says here he agrees with most of what feminists say), he just really emphasized freedom of speech (particularly in comedy), which I think is fair. I know there's stuff I wouldn't joke about, and that I think people probably shouldn't joke about, but I know Carlin wasn't a bad guy and his intentions were good.
Can't really be a liberal if you oppose a persons right to their work and property. If they have no freedoms to make decisions about their life and livelihood because you are anti capitalist, what freedoms do they have left if they can no longer live?
Damn the “person hole” joke became reality
I've heard that America is A HELL OF ALOT more sensitive on sexual things, while Europe doesn't care much about it and takes violence very seriously. Is that true? Is it the opposite in Europe?
Androxean Yeah, we're a bunch of psychos when it comes to rape. And when it comes to nudity and kinky sex, a lot of people are a bunch of puritan jackasses. It's not too bad where I live (Oregon) but I hear a lot of the united states is just filled with crybabies. Then at the same time, violence doesn't phase us as much.
I'd say, don't let either bother you. Tell rape jokes, violent jokes, etc. Like, "How many cops does it take to screw in a light bulb? None, they just beat the room for being black." We've all heard that one, but that shit should be fine everywhere. Everyone's a teenage girl, I swear.
Androxean Europe certainly doesn't approve of sexual violence, but regular sexuality isn't as frowned upon here as I hear it is in 'murica. In Germany, it's perfectly legal to be nude in public, for example, and even when it's just tits on the TV we don't get scared of it. As far as I can tell, sex is talked about rather openly, and the fact that teenagers have sex even at 13, 14 years is well-known. Well, as far as I know, sex education in school is also mandatory, so...
I wouldn't say it's the opposite, but Europe is certainly more open about sex.
TheGreatYukon Well, not everyone likes gross-out humor and hearing people talk about sex or seeing sex stuff.
***** I'm talking about the entire culture. Just because it's a perfectly fine thing to feel doesn't mean that it should be socially maligned and seen as "odd"
Androxean Nah, we have raunchy humour too. Well, I can speak about France and the U-K. Canada is PC heaven right now so don't even thin about making an offensive joke.
Want to see some French dark humour in action? Bernie : www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=15895.html
I think the US made a remake, but nothing as dark as the French version I take it (wouldn't know just realized that there's a US made movie called Bernie), yes, there's a rape scene made humorous.
it's not your gender or your race that matters, but how you treat people. learn about grace. deference and humility, when properly returned, work wonders. stop stroking yourself for a second and look for something to bolster in someone else. and try not to use their race or gender as an excuse to do that. JUST BE DECENT.
God this comment section is toxic.
Fucken Love this guy though, he’s hilarious
Rest In Peace man

I honestly don’t remember. Could’ve just been me being sensitive? Or a couple bad apples that spoiled the bunch for me.
Not toxic
@@PomadaGaming Oh it is.
I predict a spike in the views of this video :D

TIM POOL ARMY
I love Carlin but screw Pim Tool
Can you imagine Carlin talking about Sarkeesian? Jesus, I'd give my life to see that. Literally.
+EccentricSage If i was Carlin i wouldn't even speak her name just because of that fact. Anita is nothing more then a pus filled wound just drain it, clean it then throw the shit that is Anita in the bin and forget.
Try it. Maybe it'll work.
on one side, you have a woman who talks about video games and says some dumb shit now and then.
On the other side, you've got thousands of angry men and boys who, even years after the initial controversy, still foam at the mouth whenever they hear the word "sarkeesian".
Even if carlin didn't laugh you out of the room when you tried to explain this apparently still-huge debacle with the term "ethics in video game journalism", i get the feeling he wouldn't side with you just because a woman on the internet said some things that didn't make you feel good.
Carlin, rarely if ever, attacked individuals. He usually went after GROUPS
Man I forgot how ahead of his time he was. He's talking about SJWs in 1990
Are you stupid? They've been here for years.
It's more heard about now because of the internet. But yeah, they've been around forever
My problem with feminism is that it's intellectually dishonest. Feminists like to parrot the "feminism is for everyone" thing by making it out to be about equality and such.
Think about this:
The very word "feminist" implies something skewed toward the feminine, toward women. And you see it in feminist dogma.
If you truly care about and want equality for the sexes, you should identify yourself as a humanist.
Anyone who subscribes to "feminism" as an ideology is either someone who supports feminine supremacy or someone who doesn't understand exactly what they are supporting. Both options are equally disturbing.
You are so right!
good point.
I think that it's called feminism because it's there to fight back against oppression on women
Kingy King but if it's really about equality for everyone, which is the tagline, then it should be focused on fighting back against oppression, period, but just oppression of women.
Kingy King Exactly the problem. It's equality, _for women_.
*_For. Women._*
Such a simple matter that it's a wonder so few people see it. Feminism is biased towards women. Biased. Towards ONE group of people. How such an ideology can claim to be for the benefit of all while concerning itself exclusively with the needs and wants of _one_ group is such an overtly flawed notion as to be laughable. Feminism in a modern western setting is little more than a bad joke.
God Bless George Carlin. He will always be a gift. Thank You.
Carlin was a genius. I'd categorize the haters of this video into one of two groups.
Group 1- Overly PC:
This group completely missed the crux of Carlin's rant. Carlin was a feminist at heart, like most open minded people. He never said that the act of rape is funny and not a serious matter. He makes it quite clear that rape is wrong, and any man who tries to justify it is an idiot. He's saying there shouldn't be any absolute limits on what someone can and can't say, but rather that it should depend on context, construction, and the situation.
Group 2- Insensitive Idiots:
These are the kind of people that will use this video to justify going around making rape jokes, which will almost certainly be unfunny, insulting, and in poor taste. Yes, Carlin said you can joke about anything, but honestly...99% of us aren't close to being funny or clever enough to pull off a joke that involves the idea of rape in it, so we should probably just avoid the subject altogether, lest we make a total ass of ourselves
Thank you! I didn't think I'd find anybody with some common sense around here. You basically stated what I couldn't summarize into a proper idea. I really thank you for that.
Perfect comment
Can we please bring back George Carlin so he can speak at the Women’s March?
hipnhappenin No, we can’t 🤔
Next question 😂
I'd love to see George Carlin twitter on the tangerine gasbag we got as president.
Mario Chavez
Carlin NEVER went after individuals, because he was an individualist. He always focused on GROUPS
He would become 30% more lame in the process, so I don't think he should.
I mean, we could clone him? He's dead.
“These are the kinda thoughts that kept me out of all the good schools” the most relatable sentence I’ve ever heard in my life 🤣🤣🤣
I can see why he is Ricky Gervais’s favourite comedian, you really notice how he has inspired a lot of Ricky’s stand up material
George Carlin is an absolute Legend.
His name will forever remain among the best, brightest and greatest people that have ever lived.
If he were still alive today, I would love to hear his thoughts on SJWs and this whole trigger warning/safe space bullshit.
As another poster said in this comment section, he'd be railing harder on the MRAs and the Redpillers than the SJWs... considering Carlin was an SJW himself.
How the fuck is Carlin a sjw?
Chad x
Look at it this way, if a woman did his "Bombs and Dicks in the Persian Gulf" routine, people would be calling her a man-hating feminazi for blaming all violence on men.
Manic the Hedgehog
He is a comedian he make jokes.
"I also look at war itself a little differently from most. I see it largely as an exercise in dick-waving. That's really all it is: a lot of men standing around in a field waving their dicks at one another. Men, insecure about the size of their penises, choose to kill one another. That's also what all that moron athlete bullshit is all about, and what that macho, male posturing and strutting around in bars and locker rooms represents. It's called 'dick fear.' Men are terrified that their dicks are inadequate, and so they have to 'compete' in order to feel better about themselves. And since war is the ultimate competition, essentially men are killing one another in order to improve their genital self-esteem." - Imagine if this was posted to a random Tumblr blog with no context. Would you even know its part of a George Carlin routine?
Everyone's talking about How great it would be for Carlin to discover and make fun of tumblr, I think it would be even greater to see the stuff he would say about the Westboro Baptist Church.
tumblr or buzzfeed would be funny as fuck. Wetboro baptist church was covered to death by mainstream media. I remember it was so saturated that all the kids at my local middle school were bitching about it.
SirOakRoots The Westboro Baptist Church hasn't been relevant for years.
Respect carlin here.
There's a way to be edgy without punching down and he was one of the few that never lost sight of that. He would have worked in today's society.
this man changed my life! what a great legend... rest in peace
George was truly a genius. Had a funny way of putting things but the man behind the jokes truly was one of the brightest minds we had. May he RIP.
rape JOKES can be funny. rape is never funny. why is it that everything horrible can be joked about (murder, cannibals, serial killers, pedos, war) but rape is somehow not ok.
*****
I think being killed or killing is a lot more unfunny than shame, and yet there are so many jokes of that nature
chillococo Oh, heil no you did not just say that
Tobias King
i don't think that's what that person meant. it's a NATURAL response to feel ashamed when something like that happens, it's the first response of any person, man or woman, to feel shame or humiliation after being raped.
chillococo Jokes about jews are even funnier, don't jew agree :D ?
why is it that everything horrible can be joked about (murder, cannibals, serial killers, pedos, war) but rape is somehow not ok
It's sad you don't want to understand. Everyone thinks that it's unlikely to be murdered by a serial killer, eaten by a cannibal, be a child abused by a pedophile, suffer from a war. Rape jokes cannot be funny because there is a possibility to be raped as a man in jail or as a woman in real life. Nobody is outside the subject, noboby can enjoy it, only is a masochist. That's why is a taboo, is sacred. Therefore moking rape is stupid, mean, evil, cruel, lack empathy, uncivilized. It show's that there is nothing sacred, nothing precious, no reverence for the human person. No jokes about rope in hangman's house. A black ball to Carlin.

That joke was.. oddly prophetic considering what's going on with Chris-Chan right now.
lol
Yeah I had to come back for it. George is way ahead of its time.
@Ultra66
So the word of Chris-Chan's antics made this far, huh...? Yikes.
EDIT:"Also Carlin's exclamation of "WHY?!" was my reaction when I heard about what Chris-Chan did to his mom. Because Who TF is THAT desperate?"
