Mine did the same....
First really graphic stand-up routine I ever saw on TV was George, when I was a kid and we first got Cable TV in the early 80's. I'll never forget this dude....never failed to make me think and laugh at the same time.
RIP George :(
-
He really changed the face of comedy and without him, comedy would be very different today.
That said, as much as I respect him, I never found him funny.
-
No Way!!!
He was to live forever!
Dammm...
George RIP You'll truely be missed by those that loved you.
Sad news.

R.I.P. :salute

One of the few who could put it in your face rude, harsh , uncut and still make it comedy.
-
I wonder what they will do with his stuff.
-
Cant say it entirely surprises me.
Can say Im gonna miss him alot
-
I will miss him he was one funny guy and he had some great points!! :salute :salute

used to sit and listen to his albums as a kid. him, carson, and dick van dyke made me interested in the entertainment business as a kid. loved george...but I see he's being eulogized today as the "dean of counterculture comedy" and that is untrue. that title goes to lenny bruce.
still recall come bits: (all done in a "news anchors" voice)
the weather radar is showing a severe wall of rain coming into the area tonight.......but it's also detecting 39 Russian ICBM's.......so I wouldn't sweat the thundershowers....
the san diego amusement park is being sued by 23 people for what they claim to be nine hours of continuous whiplash, as a man claiming to be the devil took over the roller coaster...
the santa monica freeway was the scene of a freak accident today, as six freaks in a camper crashed into three freaks in a van...
silent film star mark dunbar died today.....he had no last words........but he did make several gestures....
archaeologists digging in iran have discovered a buried city in which it's people had no tools or skills of any kind. no trace of anything....anywhere....has been found on or near the site.
a french mathematician has been awarded for finding a new number. he calls it "bleen"...which he claims comes somewhere in between six and seven.

george got un funny when he got old and bitter.
-
My old sig line... Ascent through dissent... was ripped off from one of Carlin's books.
Thanks George.
-
george got un funny when he got old and bitter.
Not un-funny, but wise imo, he dared to speak up. What was ever so funny about the truth? It's a sick world we live in. To think that what he says only applies to the US is wrong, it's all across the globe. Guess where it started? Europe of course.

Sorry to hear that CAP1, very sorry. :(
-

First host of SNL on the first show.
RIP George.
-
What was ever so funny about the truth?
my thoughts exactly.
-
Give George credit. I believe the "Seven" have been reduced to the "Five" on network TV.
"I am F***!... F*** of the Mountain!"
Great stuff :salute
-
Loved the bit about replacing the word "kill" with the word "f***".
"We're gonna f*** you sheriff, but we're gonna f*** you reeeaaal slow!"
-

Hosted first episode in 1975.
george got un funny when he got old and bitter.
Disagree. Saw him on many occasions and I thought his live performances only got better with age.
Bitter, yes. Unfunny, no.
-
Rat S*** Bat S*** Dirty Old T***, Ninety Nine A** H**** Tied in a Knot.... Love the Carlin Cheer. Also, the bit comparing Football to Baseball was a classic. I once caught a bit on one of his old HBO specials where he talked about a dog commiting suicide, was hilarious! I think the dog's name was "Tippy" or something.
Thanks for the laughter George!
-
Be excellent Rufus!
-
I wonder what they will do with his stuff.
Very nice.
I hope they find a place for it.

My favorite bit was about food...
"Some things don't look right. I don't like that Ma. Don't look right to me. Did you make that? Was there a picture of it in the cookbook? i bet it don't look like that."
Later he talked about lobster and crab. "Anything walking at me sideways (him walking across the stage goofy) with big pinchers somehow doesn't make me hungry. My instinct is Step on that ****!"

Baseball is different from any other sport, very different. For instance, in most sports you score points or goals; in baseball you score runs. In most sports the ball, or object, is put in play by the offensive team; in baseball the defensive team puts the ball in play, and only the defense is allowed to touch the ball. In fact, in baseball if an offensive player touches the ball intentionally, he's out; sometimes unintentionally, he's out.
Also: in football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and all sports played with a ball, you score with the ball and in baseball the ball prevents you from scoring.
In most sports the team is run by a coach; in baseball the team is run by a manager. And only in baseball does the manager or coach wear the same clothing the players do. If you'd ever seen John Madden in his Oakland Raiders uniform, you'd know the reason for this custom.
Now, I've mentioned football. Baseball & football are the two most popular spectator sports in this country. And as such, it seems they ought to be able to tell us something about ourselves and our values.
I enjoy comparing baseball and football:
Baseball is a nineteenth-century pastoral game.
Football is a twentieth-century technological struggle.
Baseball is played on a diamond, in a park. The baseball park!
Football is played on a gridiron, in a stadium, sometimes called Soldier Field or War Memorial Stadium.
Baseball begins in the spring, the season of new life.
Football begins in the fall, when everything's dying.
In football you wear a helmet.
In baseball you wear a cap.
Football is concerned with downs — what down is it?
Baseball is concerned with ups — who's up?
In football you receive a penalty.
In baseball you make an error.
In football the specialist comes in to kick.
In baseball the specialist comes in to relieve somebody.
Football has hitting, clipping, spearing, piling on, personal fouls, late hitting and unnecessary roughness.
Baseball has the sacrifice.
Football is played in any kind of weather: rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog...
In baseball, if it rains, we don't go out to play.
Baseball has the seventh inning stretch.
Football has the two minute warning.
Baseball has no time limit: we don't know when it's gonna end — might have extra innings.
Football is rigidly timed, and it will end even if we've got to go to sudden death.
In baseball, during the game, in the stands, there's kind of a picnic feeling; emotions may run high or low, but there's not too much unpleasantness.
In football, during the game in the stands, you can be sure that at least twenty-seven times you're capable of taking the life of a fellow human being.
And finally, the objectives of the two games are completely different:
In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! — I hope I'll be safe at home!

I was always of two minds about Carlin. At his best, he was friggin hilarious. On the other hand, dirty words stopped pressing my giggle button a couple of years after I left junior-high. When he indulged in that type of "humor" it was a complete turnoff for me.
He did get bitter in his later years. Never really understood why. Could he have been suffering from dementia?
-
...He did get bitter in his later years. Never really understood why. Could he have been suffering from dementia?
I have to disagree, at least I didn't like him as much later on. After his wife died in 1997 he really started on an anti-God tirade that lasted until his death. In some interviews he said something to the effect that "if there was a God he wouldn't have taken his wife". Kind of sad to hear someone say things like that.
I still love most of his comedy, the late 70's to late 80's was his best IMHO.

he had a lot of personal demons to deal with....and you can compare his up and down cycles of being funny too a bar graph I'm sure....
I concur with you shuckins ..when he was ON.......he was red hot......and when he was off...it was hard to watch.
-
Could he have been suffering from dementia?
No. He was suffering from "the world".
-
The Mark Twain award is very fitting, I'm glad he knew about it before he went. Undaunted by social norms or cognitive dissonance, his intellectual courage and intellectual integrity was matched only by his sense of humor.
-
He just did a show in Vegas last weekend too...wow, how quickly things can happen. RIP George Carlin.
-
RIP George Carlin! I truly enjoyed his comedy and albeit weird insight into the society we live in today. Thanks for the laughs and memories.
-

"We're gonna f*** you sheriff, but we're gonna f*** you reeeaaal slow!"
That was the very first Carlin bit I ever heard.
Off the "Class Clown" Album
been a fan ever since

The best thing about carlin was that he did not exclude himself from his satire. He knew that he had done/did dumb things in his life too.

"Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time,"
He knew what would kill him.
-
Just read that SNL will rerun the series premier episode hosted by Carlin this Saturday.
-
I'm glad I got to see his routine live a few years ago. RIP George. You were my fave of all time. :salute
-
RIP, he was a true great... he just got so sour and unfunny the last several years of his life he was hard to watch.
