I think Carlin accurately descibed himself in an interview where he said "They say when you scratch a cynic you'll find a disappointed idealist, and I would admit that somewhere underneath all of this there's a little flicker of a flame of idealism that would love to see it all change."
I watched this when I was fifteen. This stand-up special changed my life. I had a new hero. I went on to be fortunate enough to see him live 4 times. One of those time I was in the orchestra pit. I cried when he died. There will never be another like him.
I cried too. I grew up with George & he molded my sense of humor! Along with Richard Pryor & Robin Williams. God bless & keep them all. The world is darker without them! ❤❤❤
I saw him once live. I am so glad I was able to do so. I remember he came on my radar a little bit before he had his own TV show. I was about 14 I think.
if you grew up when we did the car seat belt buckles were just like the ones on the plane. and the reason they explained it back then was because we never wore seat belts back then it wasn't a law.
It is so nice to see the younger people (like yourself) watching Carlin and laughing as much as we did as children 😊 love your channel , personality, and sense of humor
My name is George. I was born in 1955 and first saw George Carlin on TV in the mid-60s on the Jimmy Dean show. This is back in the day. 3 channels in glorious black and white. No reruns, no syndication. You missed it you missed it. From his 70s albums to the flip Wilson show and the hippy-dippy weatherman I followed him his whole life and it affected me. Peace out.
I love George Carlin because he always speaks out the truth, plain and simple. And I love him for using rude words so that the audience will LISTEN, and not just be entertained. So sad that he's dead, but no man can live forever.
His Passing Is 15 Years This June Britt, It Took A 4th Heart Attack To Do Him In, He Was The Best By Farrrr And He Always Always Made You Think. Keep Enjoying This Comedic/ Philosopher Legend Girl 🙂🙂🙂
I can't imagine that there will ever be a greater comedian than George Carlin. Don't get me wrong, there are a shit-ton of awesome and hilarious stand-ups working today, but George was something truly special. 👍✌❤
Not true. His father was abusive and an alcoholic; I'm not sure George ever met him as even a teenager or adult. His mother got rid of his father at a young age.
@@Richard-n4r2o George had little memory of him, and credits his father only genetically with his Irish gift for gab. (Found out George was family sadly after he passed, so I got to hear some stories about my hero)
Sorry George is dead, did like him smart man and like me ateist for you have to think self . There are Good persons and there are bad persons...but most good in the world!
i first discovered Carlin in 89. I was a senior in high school at the time. Was hooked instantly. Found out my dad had some old vinyl records of his stuff from the 70s. From that point, I obsessively watched all his specials, bought both of his books, and then the autobiography. He always made me think, he changed the way I look and analyze things, and I learned alot of my logic as I grew into adulthood based on his "comedy". I never use "pre-heat" for instance - that's one I totally get and understand. I question things alot and I attribute that to Carlin's witticisms.
George late cancelled a concert in St. Paul, Minnesota in about January, 1970. Walked in the bitter cold. Later, on a spring brake trip to Florida, somewhere in Tennessee, at 3 AM, we heard a very goofy weather report. The Hippy-Dippy Weatherman.
@@charliemac64 uh oh....what did you do? I got kicked out of the air force in 2010 for underage drinking..... they said "take this gun and kill people, but don't drink in your dorm room...." sad to see the state of our military
The preheat thing always bugged me, too. I just turned on the oven and added five minutes to the cooking time. My introduction to him goes back into the seventies. I remember when he released "Seven Words..." to be uproariously laughed at.
That's what's so great about Carlin! He's basically a stand-up PHILOSOPHER, who delivers revelations of our everyday-lives in a huorous way. English isn't my mother-tongue, but still it certainly delivers new thoughts on the everyday use of the English language. And great reaction, love from Sweden.
I am GLAD you found the FULL routine, because some of the videos for this have been split into 2 different videos, where you only see the part where he is talking about the safety lecture and usually ends with him talking about floating in the ocean holding a seat full of bear farts. They leave off the part about landing and the terminal. I LOVE this one it is my FAVORITE routine of his. My cousin was an airline pilot his entire career and he married a stewardess. So I WISH they had heard this routine, I KNOW my cousin would have gotten a kick out of it, he had a GREAT sense of humor.
Hey Britt!! Good morning and Happy Humpday! Thank you so much for the full length reaction. George Carlin was a genius wordsmith and philosopher that is greatly missed. More comedy reactions please. ✌️ ☮️ 🇺🇸❤️ 🤣
@@brittreacts you are really gorgeous. I really fell in love with you. I thought you are 18 or 19. I cant believe you're in your 30's. I really shocked when I heard that. 😮😮 you're absolutely stunning.😍😍😘😘😘😘
My mom was a flight attendant for Piedmont Airlines for fifteen years or so. Never had an emergency landing, but close a few times. There's some wild ass stories, like where there was a drunk marine who had pinned a flight attendant in a room and was threatening her. Flight crew were all small females, pilots said and I quote, "the cabin is your problem". Ironically, and this isn't a joke, Hulk Hogan, the wrestler, was on the plane. My mom approached him and asked for assistance, and he went up behind the marine and screamed at him, forcefully moved him back to his seat and told him if he so much as breathed wrong he was going to "put him so deep into that chair they'd have to remove the fucking rivets to get your ass out". Worked, too rofl
George Carlin was one of, if not THE best comedian of all time. His way with words, relatable real-life observations, perfect memory of all his jokes, great timing and pronunciation, body language, facial expressions. Just a brilliant comedian.
My dad was in a plane where the engine blew up at 30.000 feet. It was one of the smaller jets with two engines at the back of the plane. They heard an explosion, and then the plane dropped sideways. Apparently this is what the pilot is trained to do in case of an emergency, so you get down quick to where there is breathable air if you loose cabin pressure. But from the passenger's side it seemed like they were going to smash into the ground. They had a safe emergency landing on an airfield, and when they exited the plane one of the engines was just gone.
He really was a master linguist. He examined every detail of our language and pointed out all the bs. And he’s right. Our perception of ourselves, each other and the reality we live in is all shaped by the language we use to interpret it. Some of these things are a little silly of course. Like preheating and oven doesn’t really mean the state of it being on or off; it’s meant as an advisement to turn the oven on before you start prepping your food, so it’s heated to the right temp by the time you finish prepping. In that context it makes sense. But most of his examples were spot on, just unnecessary fluff words. And you were right, a lot of it was created for liability. So many businesses use unnecessary language cause they have to be vague and specific all at once to encompass any situation they could be liable for. It’s obnoxious and annoying, but if they don’t they’ll get sued because some people are just idiots. Part of it is also to avoid people panicking. Obviously they have to warn us about what to do if there’s an emergency during the flight. But they know if they start with “in the event of a crash into the ocean” you in know some passengers would start freaking out immediately. As a society we can only move as fast as our slowest person, and unfortunately that (along with other stuff) has lead to this bs language. I just wish George was still here to discuss our new language. I can only imagine what he’d say about “yeet” and “sheeeeesh”. 😂
@@lindanicholson950 Wow. I'm not the only grammar Nazi. What made you choose that grammatical error and not the ones such as the word "in" being erroneously placed between "you" and "know" in the third to last line? Or that they said "preheating and oven" instead of "an" oven. Also, "cause" instead of because, the word "but" should not be used to start a sentence and "bs" should be capitalized.
@@jared699 I just thought it was a shortcut, a way to avoid the actual words but not a real abbreviation. That would require a period. I usually just say the word.
George was/is and forever will be a very funny guy. I am certain he would be happy that 15 years after he went into Eternity that young people are still listening. I found George in 1986 on his album: "Toledo Window Box". Very fun guy.
Here's one for you. I know it has nothing to do with flying, but I offer it anyway. Were you aware that a box of toothpicks has detailed instructions for use printed on the box? They actually felt the need to explain how to use a toothpick. You stick this tiny sliver of wood pointy end inward between two teeth and work it around until you dislodge whatever was stuck between the teeth. They actually went to the trouble of printing out detailed instructions for using these pointy sticks.
Britt I had the pleasure of seeing George Carlin back in the day when I was in College. This brings back memories. I really enjoy your reactions so keep them comingI

Britt this is the first time I've come across your channel. You are so wonderful. Your voice and expressions are a calming wonder. Thank you for sharing
When I was young you could still smoke on planes. I distinctly remember playing with the little ashtrays in the armrest with the snap down lid. It was fun to click them open and closed....for about 4-5 clicks before I'd get yelled at for making all that noise and playing with a dirty ashtray. Then they stopped all smoking on the planes and those little ashtrays slowly disappeared from the armrests.
I was a huge George Carlin fan! Saw him twice, n side note He never moves from center stage except 4 ft to left or right. He spoke truth, thur funny! Miss him!
There was a stretch in the '80s and '90s where it seemed like very comedian had a bit about air travel, because a working comedian spends A LOT of time traveling. This one might be the best.
"Why would we name it a terminal?" Because the word 'terminal' means that it's a thing placed at the end of something. A terminal illness would be an illness that ends your life, and a computer terminal is the end access point into a place. An airport terminal is the end point for getting on and off the airplane.
10:26 "Oh its goin' down... I would own Delta" made me smile extra hard... yes... I believe you would. Props to appreciating that Carlin LOVED words... built chapters of this standup on words and what a brain to hold 'em. Thought relentlessly about the simple systems of control right in our faces that we just accept without questioning. He's beyond "practice until mental memory is without work"... a brilliant man who loved vocab and poked at all of our soft spots and some we didn't realize where we were soft and, I do believe, genuinely cared for people in general... he just wished we lived better lives individually and within the systems and opened our eyes and ears more.
I was flying military (USAF) and we lost oxygen due to a door seal crack. We were about 40,000 ft and becoming sick and light-headed. On this aircraft, we had to reach under our seats for an oxygen bottle, strap on a mask, and pull a cord. Once we all regained our senses, the plane nosed-dived below 10,000 ft.
Were we on the same plane? Mine was on a C-17 going to a forward deployed location in 2014. I just remember a bang, and then i grabbed the mask and thought, damn, i don’t pay attention to the safety announcement lol. Then the plane dove to 10k feet and leveled off and we were able to take the masks off. Ours was from a door seal as well…
George Carlin was a national treasure. I didn't think he needed to use the foul language, but that was him being him. With that said, he had a routine on his Class Clown album (on vinyl!) called The Seven Deadly Words You Can't Use on TV. Hilarious! Sadly, I can't think of any you can't use on TV anymore. That album was a classic! Also the movie Dogma in which he played a Catholic Cardinal. Think about that for a minute. The whole idea just slays me and he was brilliant in the part. Lot's of rough language in the movie but it was funny as hell and made some legitimate philosophical points. Also, the late, great Alan Rickman played the angel Metatron. That would be a fun movie for you to react to. The main stars were Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and Linda Fiorentino. I almost forgot! Chris Rock plays the 13th apostle as well! Another hugely funny bit!
On a flight from Albany to Newark in a 30 seater where you can see right out the front. When we came in for a landing, we were about 100-200 feet from the ground and got hit by wind sheer. Our plane was going towards the runway,......sideways! Our pilots were even yelling, "whoa whoa, holy sh%t". Just feet from the tarmac, our plane straightened and hit the runway for a safe landing, where the entire plane gave an audible sigh of relief. The pilot then turned to us and said "Whew, that was close".
I met George Carlin at the Starlight back in 1989.. i was a teenager.. and he stopped and talked to me for almost 10min.. was the coolest mf on the planet.. just for taking 10min out to talk to a 17yr old nobody
Hostess was 1960s and earlier. The terms stewardess (and steward) came along in the '70s. I was born in 1965 and I don't remember ever hearing it either.
Your next trip will be hilarious. You will start laughing for no reason (as it would seem to other people that is) and when you see their reaction you will laugh harder. Lol
@@brittreacts you are really gorgeous. I really fell in love with you. I thought you are 18 or 19. I cant believe you're in your 30's. I really shocked when I heard that. 😮😮 you're absolutely stunning.😍😍😘😘😘😘
George loved words and vocabulary and how you use it. and he wasn’t bitter he was more disappointed that people squander our many gifts and for some reason just can’t love each other. George was a Stand Up Philosopher !
When the roof of a plane comes off and you're not buckled in because you're still struggling with the highly complex seat belt mechanism, the air masks will be your smallest concern.
😢 Sad George Carlin was one of the funniest comedians of all time, off stage he lived a hard and sad tragic life. Towards the end of his life you can tell he was extremely angry and bitter with life, you can feel it when you watch his last show. Born in Manhattan, New York City May 12, 1937- June 22, 2008 he was only 71 years ago. 20:43 O' Hare International Airport in Chicago, the greatest city in the world 🌎🌍.
i always admire when comedians use the microphone as a prop/sound effect. carlin, bill burr, bill hicks, dave chappelle are all really good at it. just an extra layer to the performance. bill burr especially is good at using the distance he holds the mic from his face for comedic effect
Didn't have an emergency evacuation, but I saved a flight from returning to the gate and cancelling by using the safety card to fan a man who was sweating to death next to me because an "air waitress" refused to serve water before take-off when we were sitting on the tarmac in 107 degree heat waiting for a Phoenix dust storm to pass the end of the runway...for an hour! We couldn't use the air-conditioning because the battery needed the power for take-off later and could not recharge itself unless the engines were running and the air was cooling them, which means the plane needed to be airborne. The air-waitress was nice enough to tell me that if the man was unable to continue, we would have to return to the gate and the crew would "time-out". Those cards actually DO come in handy.
I hate when people say he was a bitter man. That was his act in person he was a kind man. He just liked to bring up things up
I think Carlin accurately descibed himself in an interview where he said "They say when you scratch a cynic you'll find a disappointed idealist, and I would admit that somewhere underneath all of this there's a little flicker of a flame of idealism that would love to see it all change."
All he did was tell facts and some people just can't handle it
George Carlin is the greatest ever American Satirist. He was not bitter just bitterly honest
@@savvasperisanidis So you've heard the satire of all 300 million Americans?
Carlin will always be eternally epic.constant classic.

George Carlin is greatly missed because we don't have any comedians like him anymore.
He's one of the best ever but there are still great comedians today.
I remember in one of his shows, he went off about words with opposite meaning. Why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways?
I watched this bit so many times I cannot fly anymore without laughing during the safety announcement.
His dad was a public speaker, and George got the mastery of the English language his father had.

George said his job is to remind us of things we already know.
Every time that we hear "technical difficulties" when flying, all we think about is "broken plane". Been that way for years thanks to George Carlin.
Sometimes the "technical difficulties" is about people instead of the plane.
There was a stretch in the '80s and '90s where it seemed like very comedian had a bit about air travel, because a working comedian spends A LOT of time traveling. This one might be the best.
Keep the George Carlin videos coming 😎
He was the best!!
"Why would we name it a terminal?"
Because the word 'terminal' means that it's a thing placed at the end of something. A terminal illness would be an illness that ends your life, and a computer terminal is the end access point into a place. An airport terminal is the end point for getting on and off the airplane.
George always said he just tells us things we have many times before but didn't pay attention.
Carlin is one of the great intellectual comedies of our time
10:26 "Oh its goin' down... I would own Delta" made me smile extra hard... yes... I believe you would. Props to appreciating that Carlin LOVED words... built chapters of this standup on words and what a brain to hold 'em. Thought relentlessly about the simple systems of control right in our faces that we just accept without questioning. He's beyond "practice until mental memory is without work"... a brilliant man who loved vocab and poked at all of our soft spots and some we didn't realize where we were soft and, I do believe, genuinely cared for people in general... he just wished we lived better lives individually and within the systems and opened our eyes and ears more.
I was flying military (USAF) and we lost oxygen due to a door seal crack. We were about 40,000 ft and becoming sick and light-headed. On this aircraft, we had to reach under our seats for an oxygen bottle, strap on a mask, and pull a cord. Once we all regained our senses, the plane nosed-dived below 10,000 ft.
Were we on the same plane? Mine was on a C-17 going to a forward deployed location in 2014. I just remember a bang, and then i grabbed the mask and thought, damn, i don’t pay attention to the safety announcement lol. Then the plane dove to 10k feet and leveled off and we were able to take the masks off. Ours was from a door seal as well…
Most emergencies on a plane end with everybody dieing.
The Captain of a plane is the same as a Captain of a boat or ship. They have ultimate authority.
George was completely amazing.
My first Carlin experience was Carlin toledo window box vinyl. Carlin is the greatest. He is supper intelligent
George Carlin was a national treasure. I didn't think he needed to use the foul language, but that was him being him. With that said, he had a routine on his Class Clown album (on vinyl!) called The Seven Deadly Words You Can't Use on TV. Hilarious! Sadly, I can't think of any you can't use on TV anymore. That album was a classic! Also the movie Dogma in which he played a Catholic Cardinal. Think about that for a minute. The whole idea just slays me and he was brilliant in the part. Lot's of rough language in the movie but it was funny as hell and made some legitimate philosophical points. Also, the late, great Alan Rickman played the angel Metatron. That would be a fun movie for you to react to. The main stars were Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and Linda Fiorentino. I almost forgot! Chris Rock plays the 13th apostle as well! Another hugely funny bit!
Great Reaction To George. Check Out His Bit Called "The Difference Between Football And Baseball"
Another great reaction! Carlin has an amazing piece on the English language (and how it's been corrupted over the years). Well worth a listen.
On a flight from Albany to Newark in a 30 seater where you can see right out the front. When we came in for a landing, we were about 100-200 feet from the ground and got hit by wind sheer. Our plane was going towards the runway,......sideways! Our pilots were even yelling, "whoa whoa, holy sh%t". Just feet from the tarmac, our plane straightened and hit the runway for a safe landing, where the entire plane gave an audible sigh of relief. The pilot then turned to us and said "Whew, that was close".
Until the 90s, you could smoke ON THE PLANE, and most anywhere in public.
@@mikefetterman6782 That was true in '93 when I flew to Germany.
I met George Carlin at the Starlight back in 1989.. i was a teenager.. and he stopped and talked to me for almost 10min.. was the coolest mf on the planet.. just for taking 10min out to talk to a 17yr old nobody
I miss him. Thank you for playing him!
I loved watching this special in its entirety when it first aired in the early 90s on HBO, and I love your reacting to this bit of it, too.
I loved his little world stuff.
He was great at pointing out stuff big and small.
Love his cutting his toenails and lip crud routine.
This is probably my favourite Carlin reaction video now!
He's right, I've never heard a parent say "Get *on* the car!" to their children. 😎
Hostess was 1960s and earlier. The terms stewardess (and steward) came along in the '70s. I was born in 1965 and I don't remember ever hearing it either.
Your next trip will be hilarious. You will start laughing for no reason (as it would seem to other people that is) and when you see their reaction you will laugh harder. Lol
I know this will happen for sure hahaha
@@brittreacts you are really gorgeous. I really fell in love with you. I thought you are 18 or 19. I cant believe you're in your 30's. I really shocked when I heard that. 😮😮 you're absolutely stunning.😍😍😘😘😘😘
He is/was so so good. Love George and I am not from the US.
What does being from the US have to do with it?
Listening to George Carlin speaking this......I'm dying!!!!!
I listen to this set before every flight I take. It's my tradition now.
George loved words and vocabulary and how you use it. and he wasn’t bitter he was more disappointed that people squander our many gifts and for some reason just can’t love each other. George was a Stand Up Philosopher !
My worst experience was a go-around and a flight attendant barking at me.
That can't be good for your eyeballs, girl! You're gonna scratch a lens one day!!
This is one of my favorite bits by George. 😂
When the roof of a plane comes off and you're not buckled in because you're still struggling with the highly complex seat belt mechanism, the air masks will be your smallest concern.
george is my fav comic of all time but I also really like Jim Jefferies. give him a try (after you watch more George of course)
😢 Sad George Carlin was one of the funniest comedians of all time, off stage he lived a hard and sad tragic life. Towards the end of his life you can tell he was extremely angry and bitter with life, you can feel it when you watch his last show. Born in Manhattan, New York City May 12, 1937- June 22, 2008 he was only 71 years ago. 20:43 O' Hare International Airport in Chicago, the greatest city in the world 🌎🌍.
Excellent reaction. Try his bit on "Time." I think you might enjoy it, he was a lot younger in that one, than Jammin' in NY.
i always admire when comedians use the microphone as a prop/sound effect. carlin, bill burr, bill hicks, dave chappelle are all really good at it. just an extra layer to the performance. bill burr especially is good at using the distance he holds the mic from his face for comedic effect
I'm the same age George was when he passed. He taught me a lot. I diidn't get that at the time. I enjoy laughing a long with you. Funny stuff!
Didn't have an emergency evacuation, but I saved a flight from returning to the gate and cancelling by using the safety card to fan a man who was sweating to death next to me because an "air waitress" refused to serve water before take-off when we were sitting on the tarmac in 107 degree heat waiting for a Phoenix dust storm to pass the end of the runway...for an hour! We couldn't use the air-conditioning because the battery needed the power for take-off later and could not recharge itself unless the engines were running and the air was cooling them, which means the plane needed to be airborne. The air-waitress was nice enough to tell me that if the man was unable to continue, we would have to return to the gate and the crew would "time-out". Those cards actually DO come in handy.
Absolutely love your genuine reactions to an all time great!! 😹
