George Carlin - Self Esteem Movement

[thehungryman1]

And I kept saying FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU! :D

George Carlin was pure fucking genius :)

[KenlovesJ]

what wouldn't I know???? Where is the rest!

[HockeyFightsRights]

Self esteem does breed success. Killers do not have high self esteem. They have an inferiority complex and grandiose ideas whish come from an unhealthy place. George is wrong on this one. He's right on everything else though.

[Kewibee]

@HockeyFightsRights I'm pretty sure there has been many many serial killers with very good jobs, familys, ect. Making them the least expected. Just because you are unstable in the mind does not mean that you wont be smart. Sorry but there is a lot of fucked up people in the world who are successful. Usually people who have low self esteem are the ones who work hard to get to a good place in life and be happy.

[J0k3r4U]

@HockeyFightsRights Actually some killers do have high self esteem but not healthy self esteem.

But you need to think animalistic mugger or religious fanatic instead of repressed serial killer...

[troubledpickle]

@PompousPreacher I suppose you are also a firm believer in how the Halocaust didn't exist?

[sderax456]

@PompousPreacher beep, beep,  RON PAUL beep, beep , boop, bop, RON PAUL is the only veteran runnin'

[sderax456]

@Pompous  i'm voting RON PAUL, AND I love all people. even you!!

[MrUsman007]

No one is special. Life goes on.

[TheSilkyJohnston]

@guynbluejeans and ur better then mr. Carlin?!? Don't think so go outside fatty

[hypnotizerequiem]

I miss George!

[gokuudo]

HOLY SHIT! REMEMBER WHEN YOUTUBE WASN'T A WARZONE BETWEEN ATHEIST AND THEISTS!? DAMN PEOPLE SHUT THE FUCK UP AND WATCH THE FUCKING VIDEO!

[doctorshanab]

i don't understand waht the fuss about this .. lol ... i am religious to some extent, and i find GC to be hilarious even when he speaks of religion. it is time we grow up for fuck sake, people are free to express their thoughts and opinions no matter what they are .. lol

[burninmunkeys]

This was released on my 18th birthday!

[saffant]

Man's a genius but god some of the shit he says, really makes him look like a miserable and cynical fuck.

[MrNicMachiavelli]

@saffant being a genius usually means being cynical and at minimum somewhat miserable.

[smithy2306]

"Children are not our future, and I can prove it with my usual flawless logic" Like a fucking boss! Carlin is my hero.

[akshatj42]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you!

[LeGrugkbdst]

[1:41] Aww, come on, I like Mozart. I can see how this could've been a marketing ploy, though...

[LeGrugkbdst]

@LeGrugkbdst Oops, [1:14].

[tarantulaman420]

ppl say atheist like its a new religion quite sad actually.

[Bean77]

'The Future' never gets here. When it arrives, it's 'The Present'. So the age of the child is irrelevant.

Your logic really isn't flawless, George.

Please don't take this to mean I don't love Carlin's comedy. I do, and I think he was a very smart man. I just don't agree with everything he says.

[Hannah051190]

@Bean77 It's not irrelevant, he's being literal. Listen to the tone of his voice.

That's why he calls it a platitude, makes jokes about his "flawless logic" and mentions the implied mysticism/ difficulty .

[tucris1000]

@Bean77 You completely missed the point of that joke.

[raeven1212]

this is a man who was very smart, and he valued his freedom of speech and he used it

[AresCassell]

As liberal as he was, he was also conservative. 

[JBelford44]

@AresCassell

He was neither. He did not vote. If he saw/heard you say that, he would tell you that you were sorely misunderstood.

i think.......

[AresCassell]

@JBelford44 You're probably right. That's just my opinion, though.

[WeBeItching]

George would have loved the Zeitgeist Movies

[BrendaFloresOnline]

Your hilarious. 

[WeBeItching]

I am pretty sure George would approve of the Zestiest movies, since most of his jokes talk about how we all get fuckd by the govt

[paulbauer1250]

bill burr is a good comic. hes pretty sharp though sort of a dumbed down carlin. but accurate and his delivery is good.

[mastertonguetim69]

"Children are not our future and I can prove this...... with my usual flawless logic....." LOL

[mastertonguetim69]

Stupid kids that stayed a week on the street corner:25

[Curthe93]

You know, now that I think about it, I DON'T think the Self Esteem Movement has been a complete failure. It failed in making shit better, but it succeeded in raising self esteem.

Just take a look at today's rap lyrics. They usually consist of "I'm the best, I win, I'm boss, you're a bitch."

Yeah, I'd say the self esteem movement worked. Now we have to put up with these rappers and teenagers and their cockiness and narcissism.

Great fucking job, baby boomers.

[TheAstonM12]

Didn't Carlin do a voice for some Pixar movie?

[TheBigRedMario]

@TheAstonM12 cars as 'filmore'

[krakatoa0mikel]

Wow, every person who believed in diverting thousands of dollars away from starving children in Indonesia to those dove self esteem shops should watch this video.

[baron8107]

"So, BLOW ME!"

[ThePhantom135]

Michael Jackson might think they're special. But not me, I have standards.

[suzukiguy1982]

children are not our future because by the time the future arrives......... we'll be dead as well as they will not be children any longer!!!!! RIP George Carlin.

[Itnetlolor]

You want to see how much the Self Esteem Movement has screwed up future generations, watch TV.

Reality TV shows, game shows, American Idol, Jersey Shore... the list will be too long if I continue. The point is, too much self esteem gives unnecessary and unwarranted pride to those who didn't earn it. Only truly special people can make this world better and, heh, I don't see that many, to be fair. And before anyone tries to call me out; no I don't see myself as 'Special' either. I accept that.

[guyNbluejeans]

Oh what a genius this guy is! Oh he's just so funny! Oh isn't he amazing! Wow, what a super genius this turd was! Wow, can anyone top this amazing piece of shit or what?! gaeorge carline is just so amzzing i must go and buy all his tapes because he's just unlike anyone else! Wow, what a turd! He just knows so much he has such profound insights into the world and people everything that's going on! Wow, wow, wow, wow who could ever be as great as this worthless overrated piece of shit!!!!!!

[rahvu420]

@guyNbluejeans u mad bro?

[ovechkin100]

@guyNbluejeans <---- realized hes not a special child

[guyNbluejeans]

@ovechkin100 Careful!

[ovechkin100]

@guyNbluejeans for?

[JBelford44]

@guyNbluejeans

You know what would be fun? Gutting you, ripping out and hanging you by your own innards and draining you like the fucking pig you are. You are a fucking retard, and if I ever had half a chance I would knock the fucking taste outta your mouth.

Kill yourself.

[guyNbluejeans]

@JBelford44 I'm rubber, you're glue. What you say bounces off me and sticks onto you.

[JBelford44]

@guyNbluejeans

lol

[kissesnguns124]

@guyNbluejeans LMFAAAOO. I think your just mad he doesn't think your special :) Just because your not special, doesn't mean u gotta call george carlin hateful things <3

[guyNbluejeans]

@kissesnguns124 Sweetie, your post makes no sense. He's been dead for a good two years.

[Info255]

@guyNbluejeans nigga shut the fuck up

[littleblueclovers]

4:24 I know what he was going to say.

"Now. You wouldn't know it, but this video is going to cut me off mid-sentence."

[sillypillyy]

"and I can prove it with my usual flawless logic"

[AlKay47]

"And I can prove it with my usual flawless logic....

Children can't be our future becaaaause, by the time that future arrives they won't be children no more ! BLOW ME! "

[gurtanator]

@AlKay47 My favorite part :)

[Hendrixhero1234]

I'm guessing he doesn't like Mr. Rogers.

[drivenmadnessband]

One of the best rants ever! and that's coming from a father of three. lol

[MorbidVampTheryn]

That's why you play heavy metal for the kiddies...

[PrincessKLS]

@TheChubbbhead No biggie, I guess you didn't understand it was a joke.

[PrincessKLS]

I would say roughly between 16 and 18 years old...if you aren't special then that's when it shows, lol.

[PrincessKLS]

@TheChubbbhead Oh and the book The Secret is the worst book ever.

[Iarehascheeseburger]

he was a funny cunt

[Tippersnore]

I miss George; he had `nads.

[Shadowdreamer4]

I read somewhere that you actually think and reason more clearly when your sad than when your in a good mood.

[dbBosco1]

@Shadowdreamer4

I read somewhere that life is a dream that a dragon is having.

[Shadowdreamer4]

@dbBosco1 ZOMG MY LIFES A LIE Dx

[RagdollRalph]

Now I know I'm being used

That's okay man cause I like the abuse

I know she's playing with me

That's okay cause I got no self esteem

- The Offspring

[theedit123]

RIP tho George Carlin is dead. but he is not gone his jokes and spirits be with us <3

[HeadNiggaInCharge001]

i saw this one live before he dies i laghed my ass off start to finish!! RIP

[R1nji]

I think he's down there now, screaming up at us. And I think he's in severe pain.

[9ssgoku]

@R1nji And I think he's actually flipping you the middle finger with a troll face from above. XD

[shamz0rz]

@R1nji lol, you may as well be preaching voodoo, it's all the same bullshit.

[R1nji]

@shamz0rz I think you misunderstood my comment. What I was trying to do with that was to quote George Carlin, who said something like "you don't hear anyone say"I think he's down there now, screaming up at us, and I think he's in severe pain!" no one thinks of the possibility that your loved ones might be in hell...", google it if you want. I don't want to come of as narrow-minded in a comment under the video of a guy, who I admire for his way of thinking. A pity that you didn't get it

[shamz0rz]

@R1nji I obviously wasn't the only one to "misunderstand" your comment. Remember, sarcasm travels very poorly through text.

[BlodhArget]

@R1nji

It takes a special type of psychopath to fantasize about a vengeful, hateful God who would torture people infinitely.

They call them Christians.

[RickyMo78]

@BlodhArget fag

[BlodhArget]

@RickyMo78

Oh,thank you. I forgot self-righteous and anti-society.

[5150zombie]

@R1nji thanks, I'll never listen to him again.

[brabanthallen]

I miss George terribly since he died. I dont give two shits what anybody else thinks, he was a GREAT man and one of my idols. An amazing command of the English language, and a firm grasp on reality. Georgie, you made us laugh and opened our eyes. We love you!

[zackpanzer]

He wouldn't want to be President anyway; he's not a puppet. RIP Carlin...

[IceTorchGaming]

FFFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK YUUUUUUOOOOOZ

[Shamael13]

The old bastard died leaving us alone with Dane Cook... Nice last joke...

[OmegaOwA]

@Shamael13 At least we still have Louis CK. No one gives the amount of depth to their work as Carlin did though, of course.

[chibigrunt]

@Shamael13 No! We have Louis C.K! C.K!

[Shamael13]

@chibigrunt yup but he's far from Carlin or Hicks fww

[chibigrunt]

@Shamael13 But a shit lot better than Cook.

[surfer53]

@Shamae13 I thought only hoochies and skanks went to his shows. A pretty boy with one-note sex jokes.

[bboybram]

@Shamael13

Louis CK, Bill Burr are still doing there thing

Dave Chappelle and Katt Williams are coming back

[J88Wolf]

@bboybram Dave Chappelle! Where the f*ck has he been?!?!?!

[copnite12342]

then what should be done ? how do we fix the problem?

[creamyfilling102]

wow he's got a good point on that special thing

[god42069]

22 people took a cumshot to the face from Mr. Carlin.

[TheAbielBeluts]

"P.T. Barnum may think they're special, but not me. I have standards."

[Baberbabes]

hahahaha" I never give credit for an incomplete work." haha, so awesome.

[mtsumusic]

"They're fuckin' goofy lookin'!"

[mammachubyy]

SO BLOW ME!

[julio13wrathchild]

Carlin's smile at 3:17 is just priceless.

[alexjagt96]

If everyone is special then no one's special

[DreamingOutLoud33]

George Carlin is proof God has a sense of humor

[salvi1979]

@DreamingOutLoud33

Carlin would dislike this comment since he doesnt believe in God.....just saying

[ScottishLeprechaun]

@DreamingOutLoud33 George Carlin is an Atheist.

[devishimoda42]

and u are a beatch



[SeedsOfHatred]

@ScottishLeprechaun That's why the comment was made, and why it's funny.

[EndureFocusEngageDie]

@ScottishLeprechaun No he wasn't. Watch 60 minutes interview.

[JagerFrostTroll]

@ScottishLeprechaun was

[rsmith1240]

@DreamingOutLoud33 George Carlin was a devout atheist and has a 10 minute skit on what a crock of shit religion is, so stop attributing his sense of humor to God. His sense of humor came from his life experiences, not an imaginary man in the sky (as he would say).

[KanyeAirJordans]

@rsmith1240 I believe he was being sarcastic making the George Carlin to God reference

[SeedsOfHatred]

@rsmith1240 Wow.

...You know what, I'm not going to argue with you on this one. I'm simply going to politely recommend some words/phrases for you to research later.

1) Irony

2) Sarcasm

3) A clue (and how to fucking get one)

4) Attention (and how to pay it)

5) Conclusions (and how to not jump to them)

I think those should do nicely.

[MrBusterofwar]

@SeedsOfHatred good list

[OmegaOwA]

@SeedsOfHatred Amen.

[Jauckor]

@rsmith1240 Dude, relax he is just being sarcastic.

[Preeminence21]

@rsmith1240 You don't need to get defensive, bro.

[Sumoto999]

@rsmith1240 atheists are not devout.

[Curthe93]

@Sumoto999 Some are.

They're called militant atheists.

[stride7860]

@rsmith1240

don't worry, he's just dreaming out loud. LOL

[iBischoff]

@rsmith1240

* "an invisible man... in the sky"

[JBelford44]

@rsmith1240

Close, but technically, he was agnostic, he believed in The Big Electron and the fact that we are who we are genetically, because of Extra Terrestrials.

My logic and reasoning is supported by:

'George Carlin - Saving the Planet' (7:03)

'George Carlin on aliens' (0:56)

Sorry if that all comes off as dickish.

Joe Bless you.

[Chieu3]

@rsmith1240 just because you don't like religion doesn't make it shit, come on man.

[TheDethBringer666]

@rsmith1240 There is no such thing as a "devout atheist."

[bendaman15]

@DreamingOutLoud33 What god? 

[Conz042]

@bendaman15 just look in the mirror and you will see god...

[pickachuuuuu]

@DreamingOutLoud33 lol he does not believe in god but if there was one yeah

[Konicava]

@DreamingOutLoud33 There's no god imbecile.

[EMERALDanimations]

@DreamingOutLoud33 You,are fucking stupid.

[petekaz1977]

Congratulations, you special, just like everyone else.

[theresident001]

which show is this from? its so funny (and true)

[GoodGirlMolly]

@theresident001 It's called "It's bad for ya". Unfortunately it was his last show.

[TheFernandobbin]

He was an atheist and I bet you anything you want that he is now in heaven, side to God making him laugh as shit!

[CharmedCosmicGem78]

"Flawless Logic" thats the truth!! George Carlin was one of the greatest human beings to ever inhabit the Earth, there will never again be anyone as awesome as him--ever. Our species has lost it's most magnificent human, and he will be deeply missed by his fans, and me (his worshippers) He is my hero, my mental twin, and the voice of my thoughts. He was a comedic and observatory genius--no one will ever compare to him!!

[IlluminatReptilian]

Most children will grow up to be big and dumb and pretty much worthless like most adults, nothing special about that. George Carlin always told it like it is, even if the truth hurt. He wasn't afraid to really tell it like it is. No your child is NOT special.

[htiberian]

18 people stayed on the street corner

[Jezapple]

3:10 flawless logic lol

[2Emos1Razor]

Children are not our future

[darkmantlestudios]

if everyone is special. no one is :)

[Apothis]

I like how people argue on youtube as if they're going to somehow change the world LOL

[dcowens123]

I'm special just like everyone else



[FFGG22E]

Self esteem is a meaningless term. Self respect is way more important.

[AronofskysKumo]

@FFGG22E Totally agree with you.

[PrincessKLS]

@FFGG22E True that!

[crocblanc1989]

@FFGG22E absolutely

[Aulmeyda]

"And I can prove it with my usual flawless logic."

Better write this shit down, George Mother-fuckin' Carlin is talking.

[nofoolingu]

@deadlyorgans Nah, not really. the self-esteem that he's talking about is the same self-esteem that attempts to give every kid the feeling that they can handle all of life's challenges. It's a monumental failure and has done the world no good.

[deadlyorgans]

@nofoolingu But that was my point. The word self-esteem has been hijacked and trivialized to mean egoism and narcissism. What he's talking about is not self-esteem and the schools got it wrong too. Nobody can give anyone self-esteem by telling them that they're 'special' or 'entitled.' And violent or aggressive people DO NOT think highly of themselves. They actually have very low self-esteem and that's why they act out (they don't feel they can handle life's challenges).

[redman8903]

reminds me of the great Monty Python quote. Brian "You're all individuals" crowd "we're all individuals" one guy "i'm not"

[15Ellimist]

I'm one of those people who hate what most people like, but I Love George Carlin, he's solved a lot of bets for me and he makes sence with it all, he's my favorite History teacher.

[vladik87]

I remember my lit professor saying that the poet John Milton (who wrote "Paradise Lost") came up with the term self-esteem; and, he used it to describe egoism/ narcissism. My two cents.

[zaynoob1]

being a teenager i never believed in this self esteem they tried to put onto us and tried to make us put our selves in the category of being either low or high sel esteemed

[jackkoffin1]

I love this bit, but I would because I have always hated kids, even when I was one myself. Having been born in the midst of the Self Esteem Movement, I can attest that I know my fair share of lazy, entitled losers my own age. Are the lowered standards of the Self Esteem concept to blame?

[Octane64]

@jackkoffin1 so damn true. I'm surrounded by dumbasses with their ass so far up their ass they give themselves prostate exams. I was born in the beginning of the self esteem movement, and taught that everyone deserves an A crap, what it did was creat a bunch of assholes who can't take criticism and aren't aware of their flaws, and have enflated. What we need is another world war or depression, knock kids today down a peg.

[Ollyoxenfree1]

It is so true, I have first hand experience with the self-esteem movement, I'm a kid and this is so true.

[xROCKxi]

He can prove anything with his flawless logic, George Carlin for president! RIP man.

[velja27]

@xROCKxi We should just look at the videos and make laws from them. And delete the ones that do not fit. :D

[lotofhate]

@xROCKxi GC for president R.I.P ? how the fuck can he be president if he is fucking dead and R.I.P hahahaha

[Ygdrasel]

@lotofhate

Reanimation. Didn't you ever read Frankenstein?

[BlySS93]

@xROCKxi Your comment has as much logic as religion.

[FFreeLevant]

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAACK YOU!!

[workingklass0]

George Carlin = the quintessential anti-hippy.

My kinda guy.

[LordShivasServant]

@workingklass0 Maybe that's how he died... he touched a real hippie... (lame physics joke)

[moekanz]

@workingklass0

theres a massive difference between hippies and pc-bullshit-pushing dumbasses.

[Minxster101]

I love George Carlin

[Yourfavoritelosers]

George Carlin is special

[RichardAlanKosar]

Just one problem with his talk, doesn't special mean unique as well? I personally think that with each person having unique heart, earlobe, fingerprints... then in this context saying every child is special is a truth
