George Carlin

[KernelPanic]

Has anybody here ever seen/heard George Carlin. He is an american stand up comedian and is very funny. I dunno what TV channel he comes on but he has a CD out.

He was *very* big in the 70's and 80's.  He used to be extremely funny but I haven't heard much about him over the last 10-15 years...

[KernelPanic]

Well i didnt know that, he has never been big in england but i think he's hilarious.

[voidmain]

Oh yes, I have always thought he was one of the funniest/witful comedians around.  Definitely one of my favorites.  I think he may have dropped out of the big time because of a drug problem though.  Maybe he's cleaned himself up.

He's pretty funny. I saw "you are all diseased" once on HBO (where I see most of his stuff) and it was good. They rerun a few other standups on hbo comedy.

Has anyone read his book "Brain Droppings"? It is a scream. The only comedian i like more than George Carlin is Sam Kinison.

[voidmain]

Yeah, Sam was really funny too. It's hard to believe he was previously a preacher.

George Carlin has had serious heart problems for a number of years; he's still touring, but he's not as mainstream as he was in the '70's.  I really felt bad when Sam Kinison was killed; he was the funniest guy EVER!

That was the original list. Didn't he add some to it or take some away?  Those are the 7 dirty words you couldn't say on TV.  I also got a kick out of the ones that weren't banned but sounded like they should be.  I can only remember one, "yodeling in the gully".  What were some others?

I also really liked his weather reports.

George Carlin is so damn funny, one of the main things I like about him is his strong beliefs on religion and goverment.  He basiclly points out how everything is fucked up, on the last one I saw he breaks down the 10 commandments, its hilarious.  They play his performances all the time on hbo.

I COULD WATCH RAYMOND SUCKS OFF THE MILKMAN.... YOU KNOW WHAT?  I'MN GONNA CLIP MY FUCKIN TOENAILS.

the commandments bit is great

i have a few of his specials on tape.... the one where he shows the picture of his dog fucking his cat is unbelievable

he plays a catholic bishop in the movie dogma...  he is a trip in that and in jay and silent bob strike back

he reminds me of my french teacher, only funny instead of creul


i also like dennis leary

"i drive real slow, in the ultra fas lane, while people behind me are going insane....

i park my car in handicapped spaces, while handicapped people make handicapped faces"

thats pretty tame for leary but you get the idea.  thats from his song "i'm an asshole"  he performed it before his comedy special

he is on comedy central channel, hosting contest searchlight
