I heard this on Mike and Mike this AM on the way into work and i almost crashed my truck i was so depressed....i LOVE GC....he was the man....insanely funny....and a nut job just like me!.... say hi to the sun god for me Big Man!...Joe Pecci will meet you somewhere!
Goerge definitly told it like it was..Pulled no punches...BY far my favorite comedian of all time....
haha, no doubt. he was a major part of my growing up....or lack thereof. i will def miss him, majorly because he reminded me of my own grandfather who passed awhile back. i think a blogger who i find funny nailed it right on the head: "Is it just me or is 71 a bit young to die these days? Carlin did do massive amounts of drugs and alchohol though, so him living 71 years is like a regular human living 198 years. He had a helluva run."
He sure as hell did!!.Im sure he partied his ass off threw out the years.. 198 years is a understatement
He was one of the funniest men of all times. He for sure will be missed. His "7 worlds" routine still makes me laugh.
I enjoyed his comedy a lot and even the political commentary that he focused on more at the very end...to the point of excluding anything comedic about it. One of my favorite comedians and a pioneer. RIP George.
That truly blows. Ironically, I threw out a couple lines of his at a BBQ last night. I loved that dude!!! RIP
I was very sad to hear that this morning. As a commercial broadcaster, his "7 words you can't say on TV" bit is legendary in our circles. Saw him 3 times live. Never laughed so hard. RIP George. "'Get on the plane! Get on the plane!' I say, 'Fuck you, I'm getting IN the plane...let Evil Kineval get ON the plane...I'll be in here with you folks in uniform.'" - George Carlin
I got this from a website called innocent english.com: The term “comic genius” is thrown around a bit too much, but he definitely earned the title. That we won’t have more brilliant thoughts coming from him is sad. That he has left such a rich and provoking and funny body of work- that is a gift. Thank you George Carlin. You will be missed. Here are some Funny George Carlin jokes and quotations: Can vegetarians eat animal crackers? Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines? How do they get the deer to cross at that yellow road sign? Is it true that cannibals don’t eat clowns because they taste funny? What was the best thing before sliced bread? One nice thing about egotists: they don’t talk about other people. Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra? Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? How is it possible to have a civil war? If God dropped acid, would he see people? If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown too? If you ate pasta and antipasti, would you still be hungry? If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? Whose cruel idea was it for the word “Lisp” to have a “S” in it? Why are hemorrhoids called “hemorrhoids” instead of “assteroids”? Why is it called tourist season if we can’t shoot at them? Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song? Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket? If the “black box” flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn’t the whole damn airplane made out of that shit? Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected. I’m not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no pain. I’m in shape. Round is a shape. I’m desperately trying to figure out why Kamikaze pilots wore helmets. Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? I’ve always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific. Ever notice when you blow in a dog’s face he gets mad at you, but when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window? Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster than you is a maniac? You have to stay in shape. My mother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She’s 97 now and we have no idea where she is. I have six locks on my door, all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three of them. One out of every three Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of two of your best friends. If they are OK, then it must be you.
The man was a genius, I put in the CD of "You Are All Diseased" today for the drive to work after hearing about this last night. I just needed to hear him pondering on shitty celebrities that only use one name and how hard it is to look their address up in the phone book so you can throw a f***ing firebomb in their window. Hahahahaha... RIP George...
