R.I.P.

The best comedian ever, ever, ever. He is in a class all by himself. I will miss his voice so much.

the only episode of the george carlin show i remember is the one where he almost kills everyone because he shampoo according to the directions...or something like that.

but, yes, very sad.

Ha! Same here. He only rinsed, didn't repeat.


Anyway, I was just saying the other day how much I wanted to see him perform before he died. Sad. He's irreplaceable.

Only 4 posts?? You guys suck.

I saw Carlin four times. Every time was equally awesome.

he was uber awesome, i saw him twice!
my all time favorite!

why couldnt lame comedians die:
Mencia, George Lopez, almost all women comedians, VH1 has a lot of bad
ones on there programs.

It goes straight from Lenny Bruce to George Carlin. He was on the front lines for longer then anyone and he leaves some big fucking shoes to fill. He was one of the few people that could address any issue, make a point and still laugh about it. Beyond the dirty words he really showed us our unaltered reflection as only a great artist could.

all the comedians these days seem to take the same approach. I may laugh at some, but they are not original. or smart like ol' george.

except roundguy.

and that guy that plays the piano, and has a beard.

in all honesty i never really paid him much attention aside from shining time station. a lot of the radio stations around here have been playing some of his stuff and i really dig it.

FYI, hbo played 5 hours of his stuff last night and is going to do the same tonight.

JUST GOT DONE WITH THE MOST HILARIOUS SET.

Lenny Bruce, Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Hicks, Chris Farley, and now George Carlin. Fuck, who are some GOOD comics that are still alive, let's see, Robin Williams (hit & miss) Billy Crystal (also hit & miss) Eddie Murphy (needs to stop doing stupid movies) Dave Chappelle? Who else?

Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, H John Benjamin, Zach Galifianakis, Todd Barry, David Cross (to an extent)..

These guys are all brilliant. There are more out there, too.. comedy is still alive and well, it just isn't as prevalent in our culture like it was in the 80's.

This guy is good too, but not quite on the same level. The video was filmed in my house.

BTW these guys all suck. HARD. You're not great if you lose it.

Jim Gaffigan, Daniel Tosh are good stuff.



Mitch Hedberg was sweet too

Dennis Leary had a lot of potential and then kind of faded away. It seems that as soon as they start acting they start getting soft.

Louis CK is also the man.

YES!

He was awesome on Shining Time Station. When I worked nights, I'd watch it every morning while I drank my 40 and did bong hits. Carlin was the best.

agreed

first episode of Saturday Night Live last night, Carlin hosted and was pretty funny.
and the skit where it's a commercial for the triple blade razor is hilarious "because you'll believe anything", especially now that there is a quad.

watched an old HBO special recorded a little after 9/11 last night. He starts out with "Pussy farts, no one ever talks about them in public anymore...I wonder why?"
a well spent hour.

There's a really cool girl that works at Java Joe's. Her name is Carlin. You should all say hello to her.

Fuck ya'll, all ya'll. If you don't like me, blow me.

LOL
