It hurts to see Carlin go through an act without allowing himself/being allowed to use even a little bit of profanity, especially when he's talking about euphemisms. I still enjoyed it.
This is a great bit. I don't think the profanity would add much, to be honest. Maybe more anger would help…if a few nasty words popped out, it would be ok…..The worst, for me, is when comedians think that they HAVE to be vulgar constantly. It's just disgusting, especially when they have really awful material and bad deliveries. If you are not funny, ok, no hard feelings, but if you're not funny AND you're disgusting, who needs it? IT's not the vulgarity that make Bill Burr or Richard Prior funny, it's their ideas, and their skill at mimicry. The vulgarity sounds like normal street talk from them, it doesn't sound forced. But most of the great comics aren't profane all the time….Woody Allen, Mort Sahl, Joan Rivers, Rita Rudner, Rodney, Seinfeld, Cosby, Allen King, Robert Klein, etc etc

The love of my life was paralyzed from the neck down with chronic-progressive MS. I once mentioned to someone that she was disabled, and they tried to correct me to "differently abled." I told that person the only "difference" in her physical abilities was a lot of them were missing. When I got home and related the encounter, she replied, "If I could fly then I'd be differently abled. The way I am now I'm just crippled." Carlin is absolutely right -- these euphemisms about people and their conditions are for the comfort of the speaker, not for the person who is suffering with the condition. They are acutely aware of what is wrong with them. Except for a corpse. Who is "metabolically challenged."
The one I hate most: after years of living as what I consider to be a lady, a married woman who likes to be addressed as Mrs or ma'am, being called a guy. We went through all those years of getting the vote, becoming liberated, so we can now be "guys". No, just no.
When I was young if a woman was heroic she would be referred to as a heroine and if she was acting she would be an actress. Now they just refer to them as heroes and actors, basically using the same exact terms for their male counterparts. I can understand on some level wanting to take gender out of the thought process, but is it really wrong to have a different term to reflect the fact that the hero or actor is a lady? Most languages have gender divided wording even for inanimate objects.
Miss him. I can just imagine what he would have to say about 2022-2023. OMG! What a hoot. One of a kind and I'm glad I was able to enjoy him throughout my lifetime.
Wow, these euphemisms were back in 1988. Just think of the "field day" that George Carlin would have with the euphemisms we have today in 2023. YAH bless!!!

Euphemisms reflect fear and conceal reality. I don't like them either. The one I dislike most is the use of "pass away" to mean death. My husband Bobby, who was a WWII combat veteran, and is dead, would think it disrespectful to say of his death, that he had merely "passed away". "No," he'd say, "I died. Give me credit!" Great routine!

George was brilliant - he was so smart his commentary, however expressed, was seen all too often ONLY as comedy.

Consider all of what he said has been confirmed by history and it will continue to expand into the futures of our children and theirs.

So truthful and ahead of his time. I enjoyed listening to him so much; he made me see things in a totally different light....albeit a true and honest light. R.I.P. George.
Even "physically challenged" has yielded to a blander euphemism for crippled: "differently abled". Makes me wanna talk to the toilet; laugh at the ground; drive the porcelain bus... Carlin was one of the best social commentary comedians: always made ya not just laugh but also think.
Words conjure thoughts, thinking evokes emotion and meaning, emotion and meaning drives action and behaviour. Powerful stuff language and George knew it, he made a career with it.
Both of those - "correctional facility" and "re-education camps" - are so far beyond euphemisms as to be blatant evil lies. Those who have been in a "correctional facility" or a "re-education camp" know that.
Amazing, how quickly 8 minutes can pass by, while listening to Carlin. I had a chance to see one of his last shows but I didn’t, because I was too lazy. These days, I like to think of myself as a minimalistic over-achiever.
Carlins "comedic space and visions" were and are unmatched to this day. His Parking space in the world of comedy and brilliance is still open and will be for quite some time.
Carlin was always a 'word-smith'. He understood language and saw the ridiculous in our every day lives. I can't imagine how he would react to what's going on today with kids needing 'safe spaces' because looking at someone 'triggers their anxieties'.
And think about how much worse our degradation of language has become since this performance. What makes Carlin so funny is the way he captures the spirit of the times so accurately. Think of the humor he could create today.
I own a big box set of ALL George's HBO specials & TV appearances. Had many nights with snacks and drinks, company over watching a dvd and laughing till our sides hurt...he could really make you think as well....
He was brilliant with or without profanity!!! No comedian used language as well as Carlin. It's even more amazing considering that he didn't get further than the ninth grade!!!
