  • shave the trees

    shave the bees

    shave the whales

    shave those snails!

  • OW MAI GAWD! THIS IS GREAT!

  • If Carlin ever met the person who created this he'd kick them square in the nuts for taking him in the opposite context.

  • @LDB7BASS Word.

  • Goddamn brilliant. I agree... i wish it was longer too hahaha

  • I wish this video was longer! :P

  • RUFUS!

  • This is the theme tune to my degree, hehe >.< (Wildlife Conservation)

  • I miss him :')

  • Although this is beautiful, do keep in mind that Carlin was pointing out the ludicrous logic of the "Save the Planet" crowd. He is not FOR "save the snails and save the trees" he's pointing out how dumb that concept is.

  • @TheTexanCanadian

    It's not dumb. Do you realise that if we didn't have bees we also wouldn't have many kinds of fruit. Things evolved together, a lot of things depend on each other, sending species extinct, regardless of their size, can really mess things up. Trying to save a species isn't arrogant meddling with nature if its us that are making them go extinct by unnecessary pollution which is going to turn around and screw us over long term anyway.

  • @moyga

    Oh don't get me wrong, I'm no Global Warming denier or anything like that, I'm fully aware that we are having a negative impact on the planet, but it's not as simple as just taking responsibility and trying to kill less of the other species around us, and some people definitely take it too far. As Carlin explains in the stand-up that this was taken from, we can't actually hurt the planet, no matter what we do, it's going to keep on keeping on long after we're gone.

  • @TheTexanCanadian

    I find most of Carlin's arguments in the video to be very poor. For a start, how does he define the planet? Because most people who are concerned about the environment aren't concerned about whether they actual rock and dirt survives, they care about the rare atmosphere necessary to sustain life and the biological organisms which have taken so long to evolve to this level of complexity. If we wiped them out wed be retarding the universe and we could.

  • @moyga

    "they care about the rare atmosphere necessary to sustain life and the biological organisms which have taken so long to evolve to this level of complexity."

    Ah, but that's life, not the planet.

    "If we wiped them out wed be retarding the universe and we could."

    Um, negatively impacting the universe by wiping out life on Earth? Of course it'd be a bad thing, but how could it hurt the universe any more than the billions of planets which are getting destroyed when supernovas go off?

  • @TheTexanCanadian

    People who want to "save the planet" are usually talking about the life on the planet, the environment, species, ecosystems etc. the planet as a whole, not the planet as a giant rock, so its misleading of him to act like that's what they are trying to save, its a strawman.

  • @moyga

    It's not misleading at all. If I'm at work, and there are several hundred of my coworkers in the office building, I'm not going to say I have to save the building if there is a fire. It's illogical and designed to make the movement sound over-important, as if they actually COULD save the planet even if they wanted to. It's not a straw man, it's a fail attempt at self-aggrandizement. If you listen in his standup he talks about how the PEOPLE are fucked, the planet is fine.

  • @TheTexanCanadian

    The term planet in general colloquial use doesn't exclusively refer to the mineral sphere. When talking about earth, people usually use the term 'Planet' when referring to the planet as a whole including its ecosystems, atmosphere etc. Do you think that when ppl talk about wanting to save the planet they are talking about wanting to save the big rock? No, but he acts as though that is what they are saying and then calls them stupid. That's a strawman.

  • @moyga

    No, it's not a strawman, and I'm starting to think you're being deliberately obtuse. To say PLANET is to refer to the entirety of the planet. When I say car, I'm not talking about the paintjob, and when I say horse I'm not talking about the mane. When I say flower I'm not talking about hte petals. See what I mean? By reducing the planet to minerals you're creating your own straw man, as it's obviously not what Carlin meant, and you sound smart enough to know better.

  • @moyga

    Cont'd.

    Further to that, the concept of saving the planet (literally) has been in many action/sci fi movies, where the planet in total is in danger. "Save the Planet" is a lame new age attempt to tap into the Gaia concept, that life and rock, to include us as well, are all one entity and we are capable of saving "her" life. it's nonsense.

  • @TheTexanCanadian

    I sent you a message to try and clarify the confusion. It's a bit long sorry. Too long for comments.

  • Comment removed

  • *sigh* - I think he would have loved this... He's screaming up at us right now. :)

  • @slugfly I see what you did there

  • We must obey Rufus on this one - Station!

  • George Carlin would have been the greatest president that America ever had!

  • I can dream, can I?

  • Wow dude your production skills are amazing

  • 10 hour version, anyone?

  • Snails are fucking awesome.

  • save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save the snails!!!

  • xD This is hillarious. This skit was originally done to make fun of these kinds of things xD Irony!

  • Heh like how his routine was turned into a song supporting saving endangered species (and how people might actually be inspired to save them by this. Which would be...messed up)

  • @mdabbah your statement ended at "Humans are the only creatures on earth that will cut down trees, make paper.

  • True Fact: I plan to play this over and over most of the day ON Earth Day!! lol ; )

  • I love it

  • This needs to be longer

    !

  • This is awesome.

  • please make a extended version this one is too good

  • Save those Snails!

  • Humans are the only creatures on earth that will cut down trees, make paper, then write “SAVE TREES” on them.

  • This made me smile :D

  • Catchy.

  • Damn...

  • rip george

  • Can you remix this and make it longer please? hahaha I get so mad that it finishes so quick. You're awesome.

  • I want more!There so many precious George materials out there!

  • This is so inspiring and beautiful. . .George would hate it.

  • If Jesus wont do it then I will....

  • Before the snails, save Youtube!

    Everyone against SOPA

  • @TheRedDoggyDog Save everyone from the government.

  • Umm.. he was being sarcastic

    

  • make it longer :) 

  • This is so out of character it's hilarious

  • So fucking addicting.

  • @Nerevarineownsyou You mean ADDICTIVE, you fucking dumb cunt -_-. I mean addicting isn't even a damn word, and im sorry but i hate when people use addicting it irritates me no end, plus its makes you seem stupid & just plain uneducated. So the word is ADDICTIVE NOT ADDICTING ok.

  • @TheDevineBeing I feel for you.

  • @TheDevineBeing

    Not everyone is from a English speaking country, dickhead.

  • Rip George

  • I can dream, can't I?

  • Full of CRAP ! I wonder what George would think of this if he were alive. He would most likely say "Fuck Remixes Tapes".

    Taking things out of context, if it may.

    And besides, every "sound" made out of a programming function is CRAP, man.

    So, from the bottom of my heart... FUCK YOU... FUCK EARTH DAY... And more importantly FUCK all those "Narrow unenlightened self-interested" PRICKS.

    Why don't you check out "Save The Planet" of George Carlin. Something called sarcasm, you know? Check it out.

  • @Gonzarnr Im pretty sure he wouldnt get his panties in a bunch over a light-hearted auto-tuned musical video done just for fun. Pull the stick out of your ass and relax.

  • @jwhyte67 It's a shame he does not have the opportunity to reply. But, knowing his art, and how he picked up on idiotic behavior, I don't think he would say anything more than "fuck you too" or something like that.

    In fact, if you watch the original video from which it was taken you can listen to the response yourself. The man is brilliant.

    So fuck you too very much in fucking deed. Go and spread your shit elsewhere and in a arrogant narsisist cocksucker name suited for the job not George

    cya

  • @Gonzarnr

    Wow, why don't you save that energy for something worthwhile? And maybe stop being a conceited cunt?

  • @3rkid2 Good call.

  • By saving trees maybe we can learn about saving each other?

    well duh, obviously straight approach haven't worked this far. We just end having world wars all the time.

    There must be a bug in the system.

  • Lol this is kind of silly. :3

  • Its US that's fucked!

  • @psychowarrior

    WRONG. They are human, and no set of humans are immune from being fucked. WE are fucked, and WE need to get unfucked. I am tired of this US & THEM mentality, that BS needs to be overcome.

  • @MudHut67 Whatever. its the line of Carlin's that comes RIGHT after this routine. Would have made the song funnier. All you really did was show yourself as a sanctimonious prick.

  • You should totally make longer video about George Carlin. He was a brilliant comedian, no doubts about that, we all miss him. Keep up good work, melodysheep!

  • "The little things" that you push to the side are as complex as a freakin' galaxy.

  • @DirigiblePlumCompany By definition no, but whatever you say. I respect your point though. I don't think Carlin mean to denigrate the "little things" but rather suggest that focus on them can be extreme to the point where a person's vision is narrowed significantly.

  • omg, i died laughing!

  • too short !!!! :-(

  • I love his eyes/face when he says "save those snails!" :D

  • snails fucking at 0:28

  • that was good. Stupid tree- hugging fools! I mean, I dont like chopping trees for no reason but...

  • DUDE what software do you use for vocal time stretching ?!!! IT SOUNDS FUCKING AMAZING ! lol

  • This song got stuck in my mind. So catchy.

  • You missed Carlin's point. Nice remix though.

  • @sameer137 It was intentional.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow

  • turn on the caption and change it to the audio transcribe beta. watch what it pops up. i was like lolwut

  • I'm arguing a stupid point on another video.

  • I think George would like this.

  • I love it how the track just busts in after the perky opening.

  • SAVE THOSE SNAIL :O

  • George Carlin should have stuck to class issues (could have read Marx for that but it wasn't as funny as Carlin). He knew nothing about the importance of conservation biology.

  • @HybridD91 George was a smart man. He knew enough to do his job, which was making jokes. No doubt, his commentary on conservation was exaggeration. His overall point, if you follow his comments over the years, was that humans are so self-important that we take whatever we are doing to an extreme extent. Whether that be conservation or destruction, we always focus on ourselves and think we're the winners in the big game of life.

  • Perfect example of dumbing things down

  • George Carlin = my hero.

  • 0:16 PSYCH FACE

  • This is a perfect example of what creationists do with scientific papers.

    Take little bits & quote them to completely change the meaning.

    But for once I say, well done to you good sirs &/or madams.

  • To bad this video betrays the very point of Carlin's piece :(

  • @daftend That's part of what makes it hilarious and ironic.

  • Carlin and @melodysheep are such a great pair, since they both have such an affinity for the music and poetry in ordinary speech. Awesome.

  • YES! 

  • It's based on one sentence from a vid of 9 min.... it out of content... but, he said it the way he sings it.... literally

  • Sehr cool gemacht!

  • it would've been better if at the end you would've added the part about the planet being fine and the people being fucked.

  • club banger

  • Comment removed

  • most triumphant dude!

  • Женя Карлин круче всех)))

  • do more please

  • Save the Great Electron!

  • I'm not sure how this is much different that the original message.

  • uhhmmmm i'm not in that weird part of youtube again am i?

  • @CLASHofTHElonders There is a non-wierd part of Youtube...?

  • @MrMysterei i don't know anymore :<

  • I want an extended remix of this because the melodic progression is really good, especially towards the end.

  • R.I.P Geroge

  • Great! Please do another of Carlin!

  • too short!:D

  • Enough with this bitching about Carlin's message being taken out of context.

    The man was a comedian and had a frim grasp of irony. If he had still been around today, I think he would have appreciated the cleverness of this video.

  • @Blyhatt I agree. He would've been proud of this music video.

  • I think George would've actually liked this video.

  • Comment removed

  • I enjoyed this. But next time, do it for an Anti-Earth Day.

    You shame the man's message with this.

  • Great video, great music. But global warming IS a SCAM.

  • @Einherjar212

    Global warming is not a scam. It's a natural cycle of the planet. It'll heat up, cool down and freeze, heat up again -- it's been happening for a very long time.

  • Thanks for making this. Back when I saw it in April it made it me watch Carlin, A brilliant man. :)

  • Much longer please.

  • PREACH RUFUS!!

  • He reminds me of Barbosa from the Pirates series.

  • Does anyone here know HOW to save the trees, etc.?

    Anyone here even CARE?

    ....anyone???

    .......

    *world ends*

  • I bet George would get a kick out of this.

  • I can't help but laugh when I try to think about George's reaction on this video.

    George you asshole, we all miss you so very much.

  • Thanks for making these -- I really enjoy listening to your work.

    I bought both albums tonight from your site so I can take it with me wherever I go.

  • It's a beautiful video, catchy tune....but I'd still kinda like to punch the person who made it for taking the Gospel of Carlin out of context....

  • @wendycoriell punch accepted

  • @melodysheep Like a boss.

  • @melodysheep LOL

  • @melodysheep Pretty sure Carlin would want to punch someone for having his material referred to as 'Gospel'

  • @KitFox21187 irony, it is called irony.

  • @KitFox21187 Nah-- he wouldn't give a FUCK about what anybody on here said.. because, he doesn't give a shit.

  • @KitFox21187 Ah, the Book of George. It predicts the rise of the Wyld Stallyns and the second coming of paradise. Just as long as we all follow the Rules of the Road, we shall be saved!

  • @melodysheep You guys better apologize, in form of making a new George Carlin video, that doesn't suck. George Carlin is a huge beautiful universe, and you guys made the lamest thing one could possibly imagine out of him . Anyway, Melodysheep is Super Kick-ass, but this is just mediocre. Sorry for my bad english, I'm Colombian.

  • @wendycoriell You see, it's just that word Gospel. It infers bullshit to me. Dogmatic bullshit. I think George Carlin was much more flexible than that. To call his work a gospel goes completely against the spirit of his work and what I believe is the way he thought.

  • @phrozen17 YOU'RE dogmatic.

  • @matthewnittolo very clever....

  • @phrozen17 Um sure, totally dogmatic because you know when Carlin was still alive he did all his comedy while singing gospel. It was a term I made up, but thank you for your in depth analysis of it. We're all much smarter now because of your input.

  • @wendycoriell What ar you talking about? Singing songs? You invented the term Gospel? Your smarter? I think not... Well you might be smarter now but that is not saying much...Alas Wendy let's not get off point here. Carlins work was not a gospel, it was more of a guide. I know you probably didn't mean it literally but get your language straight BIATCH

  • @phrozen17 It's called making a joke :V

  • @Electricdreamerb No it's called sarcasm and I got it. 

  • @wendycoriell Well that's because the original context is horribly inane. P.S. George Carlin is highly overrated.

    

  • @cbebop7 Most will say humans are fucked up, i can say other animals wouldn't have been much different in our shoes. We don't realize the only way to break the chain is work to actually advance instead of thinking advancement is wrong. Weapons aren't progress, immortalizing earth life and colonizing space is. Humans are factually retarded in the sense they stunted their own learning to where today we are literally thousands of years behind. We should be type 1 on the kardashev scale not 0.7...

  • @wendycoriell Gospel? What he said on that issue was pure bullshit. "Saving the bees" has more to do with understanding how animals interact with the environment and our impact on it more than self importance.

  • @HybridD91

    George had an increadibly open mind, he wasn't saying we don't have impact on the planet. He was that our actions were insignificant and in the long term, pointless. Maybe you'll never understand, or see things from his point of view. George was simply amazing to me.

  • @MrHitsugaya First of all, I don't care what you think about him. Second, our actions are causing species to go extinct at a faster rate. How is that insignificant and in the long term pointless? My point stands. He knew nothing about that topic.

  • Comment removed

  • 0:16 his eyes LMAO

  • I can dream, can't i ?

  • nah fair I was thinking about this ;p b4 ya

  • Not sure if this is a good, catchy song. Or the biggest propoganda song.....

  • @watzerenaufe Maybe it's both!

  • This has got to be one of the most beautiful vids I've seen.

    Nice work! Really well done.

  • please melodysheep. I understand you must be very busy but many many of us would absolutely LOVE a longer version of this masterpiece!

  • seriously SAVE THOSE SNAILS

  • Whoa! Have you listened to the original rant? He pretty much sings those lines! Crazy!

  • Wow, this was really good. This needs to be extended.

  • I ♥ IT

  • WHY IS THIS NOT LOOONGER!?
