Why haven't I heard of George Carlin before?

[poiuyt]

This guy is incredible. I just saw this video and I laughed so many times (Joe Pesci, hahaha). I read on Wiki he has quite a number of cds, but can somebody recommend me the funniest?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uBAPbOWLxc

[ghosty]

do you live in the middle of nowhere?

Its because he's an old bastard.He was out of circualation there fro quite a few years.I knd of like his early stuff more.
I like Joe Rogan.He's a loud mouth but he's pretty funny.And Doug STanhope.

You must be very young is why you never heard of G.C.. Check out the album Toledo Window Box from about 75 or 76, it was a riot.

George Carlin is my hero. If we all saw the world like he does.. well we'd all be psychotic, but we wouldn't care!
George Carlin Quotes (http://www.digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/quotes/george_carlin.html)
These are some of his cleaner jokes, but still funny.

How can you not have heard of the almighty George Carlin? He is without a doubt one of the finest comedic geniuses of our time.

â??Religion easily has the best bullshit story of all time. Think about it. Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man...living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.â?�

â??I don't understand why prostitution is illegal. Selling is legal. Fucking is legal. Why isn't selling fucking legal? You know, why should it be illegal to sell something that's perfectly legal to give away? I can't follow the logic on that one at all! Of all the things you can do, giving someone an orgasm is hardly the worst thing in the world. In the army they give you a medal for spraying napalm on people! In civilian life you go to jail for giving someone an orgasm!â?�

â??What is all this shit about Angels? Have you heard this? Three out of four people now, believe in Angels. What're you, fuckin' stupid? Has everybody lost their fuckin' minds in this country? Angels, shit. You know what I think it is? I think it's a massive collective psychotic chemical flashback of all the drugs. All the drugs, smoked, swallowed, snorted, shot, and absorbed rectally by all Americans from 1960 to 1990. Thirty years of adulterated street drugs'll get you some fuckin' Angels, my friend.â?�

â??Angels, shit. What about goblins? What about goblins, huh? Doesn't anybody believe in goblins? You never hear about them except on Halloween and it's always negative shit too, you know. And Zombies. Where the fuck are all the Zombies? That's the trouble with Zombies, they're unreliable. I say if you're gonna buy the Angels shit, you might as well go with the Zombie package as well.â?�

â??Now here's another example of overprotection. Did you ever notice on the TV news, every time some guy with an AK-47 strolls onto a schoolyard and kills three or four kids and a couple of teachers, the next day, the next day, the school is overrun with councilors and psychiatrists and grief councilors and trauma therapists trying to help the children cope? Shit, when I was in school, someone came to our school and killed three or four of us, we went right on with our arithmetic. 35 classmates minus 4 equals 31. We were tough. We were tough.â?�

[Breukelen advocaat]

He's not funny.

[Thepossumdance]

is it possible you have been living under some sort of large rock or possibly a boulder? that seems to be the only logical explanation for your prior lack of carlin...

[4twentE]

No. The man is Hugh Hefner. Nobody else even comes close.

^^ And Czheckyoself, you ain't got final word on nothin' with only 11 posts.

[cannabis campbell]

Well, i have to admit I never heard of him before maybe hes not really that popular in the UK, but just watched that clip its hilarious!! lmaoo!! especially the bit where hes going on about religion.

[slipknotpsycho]

[slipknotpsycho]
