  • If every American was like George Carlin, they'd be a much better country.

  • Great stuff. Not an American, I didn't know him. But top stuff rich!

  • to freeminded4ever: I could not have said it better, best comment so far. I´m from Germany and used to look up to the US, especially after the war. But look nat them now, very sad to see!

  • Great interview, great man, great vision but like many, had to just sit back and observe the madness and not get sucked into the unconsciousness. 

  • George was my favorite human being.

  • Wonderful example of a human being!!

  • Please read w W w. exposingchristianity.c_o_m

  • VERY good observer of society ! he was great!

  • I'm starting my 22nd year in the game as a stand up, and this piece made me feel like an open mic hack.

  • thissman was SMART AS ANYBODY COULD ,just in a different way than we noramlly think a genius should be....genious,GENIOUS! GENIOUS GEORGE

  • I LOVE THIS MAN

  • "Keep kicking them in the nuts."

  • I've watched every George Carlin HBO, I've seen all of his interviews (I think), I've heard Napalm and Silly Putty and When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops (7 hours of straight comedy, look it up).

    I bought a black truck and I wear almost all black. You know why? It was George's favorite color.

    To say that George Carlin has changed my life would be an understatement. He's the first individual I can truly relate to, or at least the first bold enough to make that impression. RIP to a great man.

  • Wow only 134,000 views!! American's are fucking asleep and stupid, and first and foremost CONTROLLED!

  • one world one country named earth with no religion working hand to hand to work out all problems that kinda world i want

  • Man, I love George. I'm sure his candor is offputting to many, but just look at the modesty of this man in his twilight. "Comedy in the last third of the 20th century would have to include me." Are you kidding me? I will be forcing my children to watch and listen to his material when it is absolutely inappropriate for their age. George would be a great speaker and thinker without being a brilliant comedian. What a treat, and he was just here a minute ago?

  • What a good man. I wish I would have seen him. Too late, too late.  I love that other interview from him- just saw it- about being privileged as humans and squandering everything. So true, to true. The idea of the spirit running into the strong arm of material limits. And also just being stupid and horrible throughout history. Hating on everyone. Curse the media- long live Carlin. Kick him in the nuts someone told me one time.

  • He was definately to hip for the room. The sad part is there's really no one to pass the torch to ... at least no one with the same gravitas and quicksilver intellect. Goddamn I miss George Carlin.

  • It`s kinda ironic that todays best philosophers have to be comedians. It`s like in the middle ages...only the mad or the clowns can offer truth because all the other guys aren`t allowed.

    Mr. Carlin you won`t be just remembered as a footnote of comedy in america but as a true heroe that fought the law.

  • The best ever....miss u George.

  • wish my teachers were like him RIP Carlin

  • A true american, honest, im from the u.k but its good to know there is americans that think,lol with all due respect, America was the envy of the world, then the elite took it over, the flame of hope was extinguished from the world, reclaim your rights, the spirit is strong but the mind is constantly under attack, fear is a great mind bender, im am sad such a great man has left us, he was a mirror, showing the truth, bet the puppet masters hated him alot

  • @freeminded4ever dude u sound like u know some shit and i want to have a loooooooooooong conversation with you please message me.

  • i cried when he died.seen him at the palace theatre,he opened with a couple quick jokes and went into his modern man routine.genius.miss ya georgie.

  • Now that Carlin died, humanity is fucked...

  • what a horrible comedian he was never funny

  • @josiah1218 ez jebus

  • @josiah1218 What a creative troll.

  • In many cultures, the elders are well respected by the younger members of a given society who look to them for education and guidance. However, we Americans don't seem to follow suit with this theory. I do believe that it's time to initiate this practice, and we can begin with George Carlin...a man who could make you laugh your ass off, and teach you about life in the process. Wow...fun and educational! Whooda thunk?

  • In my opinion George Carlin is in the top 10 minds of the 21st century.

    He's definitely around 4-5 place. He was just so revolutionary with his anti-religious comedy and Philosophy.

    I personal have listen to him ever since i was elementary school.......

    Now im 21, and have practically all of my out look's on life based upon his Philosophy.

    I wish i could shake his hand just one time and let him know that he freed my mind. And that i am a product of his words.

    RIP my friend,

  • I miss you George. 

  • "He was here just a minute ago, and he was to hip for this room"

  • he is great RIP

  • "Too hip for the room!" Ain't that the truth!

  • Who the fuck would click dislike? And why?

  • This era needs George Carlin more than any other. His absence is a void in this world. I have been thinking it for a while, but i'm going to take his advice and write down all my thoughts. I hope one day I can be one millionth of the comedian he is.

  • Couldve easily been a professor of philosiphy if not for comedy.

  • @rrmond

    You know I was thinking he reminded me of a philosophy professor I had, to some extent.

  • So fucking awesome

  • I had to call in sick for work when i found out he died.

  • People shouldn't judge George if he was religious or not. I am a religious man, and I loved him as much as anyone did. Great human being. Felt so sad when he died. Even though he didn't believe in God, I'd like to say God bless his soul.

  • @IndianOpinion

    You might as well say fuck you... If you ever understood anything he said

  • George is kickin' them in the nuts.

  • He definitely left his mark on me!

  • Love him...

  • Among the many things I liked about George Carlin I also really admired how down to earth and nice he was. I mean, you can see that he has a good understanding of his ability and what he's contributed but there's no arrogance. He's very engaging to the interviewer. Just a very affable guy.

  • My god he was so amazing...my hero, my idol, i will always remember him...i love you Geroge Carlin!!!

  • ..."He was just here a munite ago....".

  • Gotta love this guy! He was the one true genious of out time. Truly the mind of this millennia! If you ain't atheist yet... your son WILL BE!!! Just the matter of time. HA HA HA!!!! Viva la humour and science!

  • @paahtopaisti My both parents are atheists. But I'm not. Your theory fails big time. You've learned nothing from George.

  • Carlin definitely left his mark. I miss this guy.

  • best comedian ever period

  • @llamaspit3838 just the best ever

  • No one will ever come close to comparing with George Carlin...his mind was simply imazing, he remembered everything!!! a truly brilliant man! and like Lifeis a Glitch said...Man, I miss this motherfucker!!!!!!!

  • @EileenR1950 did you ever forgive George Carlin for fucking your mother as well as your grandmother?

  • Too hip for the room. That's gotta be it!

  • sad this cocksucker had to die his legacy will love forever though....i would say RIP but carlin wouldnt belive in that

  • @FunnyStuff1234123 cocksucker? retard stfu

  • @badcolt944 Carlin called himself that quite a few times.

  • Mr. Conductor, where's Thomas at?

  • Seen him in Vegas and DOGMA...R.I.P.

  • Carlin is the best Catholic ever. period. also, include all other religions... he is just the best. He could have made anything funny and close. Because religion is BULL SHIT!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • i wonder if he got one of those sayings engraved on his tombstone

  • God I miss him.

    I often reference George's thoughts and observations on everyday life when the need arises. His comments made, and still make so much sense in a world that seems to be more complicated each year that passes.

    So many times we need a good dose of Carlin Common Sense!

    Thanks for making us all laugh.

  • Carlin is, indeed, a comedian who is too great to ignore, even after his death. He was intelligent as well as funny.

  • i also was raised as achristian. and also like George realised its all bs. RIP george

  • George Carlin > Sigmund Freud

  • For an inteligente guy, he was very ignorant about christianity. They say not to judge unless you know all the facts of what your judging and he didn't know all the facts yet he said his bullshit about it. That is even more funny to me. He i a funny guy. I wonder where he is in the afterlife. haha

  • CLEAN YOUR ROOM!!!!!

  • @sayhellotogoodbye he was christian when he was young, im pretty sure he does know the facts

  • @sayhellotogoodbye Well he could spell so maybe you don't want to compare your intelligence to his. Also, Christ attacked the cruel, the mean and shallow bullies which means that Carlin will be welcomed in Heaven a long time before you

  • @sayhellotogoodbye That is his point. People believe in their religions based on no facts, and he loved to point that out. You can't say he "had no facts" that there is no god, etc.. There are no facts that god definitely exists, therefor, you dont need to prove he doesn't exist.

  • I miss him :( ... He was the most brilliant man I've ever laid eyes on and listened to. If he were here now he could tell me to "Shut the fuck up, I don't care if your 20 and sad about life, get over it."

  • gone but never forgotten

  • Carlin was the Shakespeare, the Mozart, the Kubrick of comedy.

  • @derekchewie11 exactly

  • R.I.P. George

  • "Kick them in the nuts."

    You are truly the king of comedy, George; we miss you, and will always be respected for generations to come.

  • george i wish you're still alive

  • dam i miss George...

  • He truly was just here a minute ago and he was DEFINITELY too hip for the room. It pains me that I didn't get to see him on stage before he left us.

    Comedy will never be the same. These new guys have a shitload to live up to.

    Bye, man. You're my hero.

  • I seen him twice. The last time was about 13 months before he died. He was swolen, his hands were shaking and he had to read much of his material but you know what? He had me GASPING for air! It was the closest I have come to pissing my pants in public since I was 3! He was without a doubt the best in the buisness.

  • too hip for the room all the way

  • Definately "too hip for the room"

  • might of been the greatest interview put on film

  • @smoothboner.......I don't know about that....Larry Fine's interview was spectacular, especially considering that he was still suffering the effects of a stroke.

  • I loved him all my life, when he (and I) were younger till he died, he was always the guru of comedy. RIP George, c-ya soon.

  • I will always love and respect this man's legacy.

  • He was one of those guys who I just thought would be around forever...his work not only made me laugh hysterically..but think differently. The eternal advocate of free thinking and questioning everything...george..you will be missed...

  • click on my channel to hear never before heard conversation between George Carlin and his friend Tony Hendra.

  • He opened my mind and set me on the path to free myself from mental enslavement .

    He changed my life and for that i am eternally in his debt.

  • He gave all that was possible in his life time.

  • Eh, he'll live on forever, there's no use mourning his death, better to celebrate his life. Amazing comedian, he opened a lot of eyes and I'm sure he will for years to come, no matter where he is ( Though I like to think he's somewhere in the sun, hanging with Joe Pesche.)

  • I so miss George Carlin. He was so intelligent and insightful, as well as hilarious.

  • I've listened to George since I was 12. I'm 30 now. He is like the crazy uncle who cracked me up with his sarcasm, cynicism, truth and fart jokes. When life gets a little crazy, I find myself wondering what he would think of the situation. Even though nothing specific comes to mind it still makes me smile to remember the good times laughing at Toledo Window Box, Class Clown and the others. All on cassette mind you! We didn't have Youtube back then! lol

  • George Carlin, funniest comedian ever and wises sage ever. He lit the candels of free thinking in minds all over the world. I love you George. How I wish you were still with us.

    When I heard of George's passing, I felt like I had lost an old friend. Thanks for all the laughter and words of wisdom over the years George.

  • I wish Carlin could have been alive for a good 200 years

  • In the past five years, the only thing to really make me sob like a motherfucker was hearing the news of George Carlin's death.

  • to hip for this comment

  • a great man indeed

  • The combination of the common sense and the sense of humor he possessed made him immortal.

    We will always recognize ourselves or pieces of our lives in some of his VAST material.

    What a talent he was !!

  • you left a mark on all of us.. miss u george

  • George's take on religion almost makes the tragedy that lies in its wake justifiable. We live in a time now w/ a lot more connected intelligent people afoot & it won't be long until the retarded religious nut-jobs will be outnumbered and we can finally get down to business.

    That's it, I'm going to get back into comedy and keep our Carlinian beliefs alive.

    The next time somebody asks me that dumb question about having dinner with 3 people from history I'm going to slip George into Jesus' seat.

  • @misterdix Carlinian. That's fuckin awesome! Did you just think of that yourself? lol x-P

  • @misterdix Carlinian... i like that :D

  • @misterdix i will set george next to me and jesus ....:)

  • Man, I miss this motherfucker. Nearly cried when I heard he died.

  • You rhymed there. :)

  • @LifeisaGlitch dont worry i think he still watches over us :D

  • @sexyxrs He's down there...

    Screaming up at us...

    And I think he's in severe pain.

  • @The1Black5Wolf3 u are just a horrible person, do u know this?

  • @LifeisaGlitch i think all the conscious ppl of the world feel the same :-)

  • he was here a minute ago.. that one made me laugh hard.

  • wow, the ending about how he wants to be remembered. in that section you KNOW he was a great person. and hearing his thoughts on begginer comedians just made me decide to try it. remember folks if you dont laugh at my jokes its YOUR fault ha ha . his work was truly that of a master. He will be remembered and lauded for many years to come. a moment of screaming for George Carlin. RMC(rest mildly uncomfortable) (with the short pants and jacket without a back).

  • The Master the King of Comedy, the real eye opener.

    His favourite "i was catholic until i reached the age of reasoning", what quote, it's such a true word.

    You live Joe.

  • what a great man and very funny man!

  • Oh,Georgie I, We all miss ya'

    ( I'm gonna cry now ) !

  • rip

  • i miss him ! rip george ! he was here just a minute ago :'( when are we gonna have intellegent honest people like that again ?

  • we still have johnny rotten. altho george is 100x more pleasant

  • many times, just be one

  • Space beyond the magnetosphere is even less hospitable to organisms. Interplanetary voyages remain as fantasies until the problem of cosmic radiation is seriously addressed.

  • He's screaming up at us.

    R.I.P. George Carlin.

    One of the best stand-ups of all time.

  • thanks George sleep well mate

  • lol, "Keep kicking them in the nuts"

  • A true American.

    R.I.P.

  • A true human being, not American. George didn't believe in ethnicity or national pride.

  • "He was just here a minute ago" hahahah that one made me laugh :)

  • Lol. Seconded.

  • "The Room" is a comedian's term for the place they play. The nightclub (or comedy club nowadays), generally. He's speaking figuratively of course. Lenny Bruce always talked about "the room".

  • and of course speaking figuratively George's "room" was the planet ;)

  • he's always so gracious at the end.

  • he is a great man! spoke truth and never fear from any one!

  • Now George knows there is a heaven and hell!

  • Or he proved himself right. In which case he thinks nothing, is nothing, knows nothing and does not exist anymore. Hmm....

  • George Rhonda Carlin's "act" was approved

    by his masters: Ted Turner & Rupert

    Murdoch & Sumner Redstone.

  • "More textured things..." = More creative uses of the F-word

  • A conjecture does not meet the definition of the word "science" whose derivation is fr. the Latin verb "scire" meaning "to know." To suppose, theorize, guess, as had Darwin & his boot-licks, is not scientific. Darwinism is a relic of the 19th century. It fills a religious void in the warped minds of Western-Civilization-destroyin­g "atheists."

  • With all due respect, we do not know anything by your definition. Whole knowledge base we accumulated through the centuries is an assumption, based on another assumption, and so on.

    In fact, according to principles of scientific method, we cannot "prove" anything beyond a shadow of a doubt. Science IS doubt. Best we can do is, based on our current limited understanding of the world, is to make educated guesses.

    "To suppose, theorize, guess" is EXACTLY what science does.

  • Not true. I mean, we absolutelly, 100% KNOW that when you drop an object on Earth, it falls. PROVEN science. I think what you mean is phylisophical and mythilogical things, such as religion.

  • Christianity is the most perverted system to walk the earth - Thomas Jefferson

    not exact, but the first part is right.

  • great formula, and no ya can't leave him out

  • George Carlin was one of the most brilliant American.

  • "I'm beginning to notice some improvement" :)

  • He did a lot of swearing.

    Swearing always gets a laugh.

  • I love this guy he is right kids of today

    our spoiled

  • Can someone please explain the "too hip for the room" thing? thank you.

    R.I.P Goerge Carlin. For me you are the greatest.

  • hdmal: I assume what Carlin meant by "too hip for the room" was that he was "hip to" or "privy to" the truths that most humans are (as of yet) blind to. "The room", I suppose, is the world in this day and age. Kind of a "too cool for school" kind of thing. He was definitely too hip for the room.

  • George Carlin was a slimy corporate tongue-wagger. He was a part of the problem. He made his money off media cartels. He was no outsider. He advocated infanticide and Marxism.

  • ahh, i think i know the basis of your insulting comment...i saw the amateur attempts at comedy on your channel...not too shabby, i s'pose, but definitely not even close to carlin-caliber. jealous, perhaps? :P

  • your part of the problem

  • He never advocated infanticide. If you take the seemingly extreme nature of some of his comedy as sincere, that's unfortunate. As an artist he had the right to sell his labor power, and he did so on HIS terms towards the end, which was honest and noble. As for Marxism...get a life. He never advocated Marxism, and since when is Marxism subversive? Oh yeah, we live in a Capitalist society that has an ethnocentric intolerance of communists.

  • the way one portrays him/herself through a comment that the individual is making trying to so hard that either they or those that decide to indulge in reading this comment find exaustion, as a result of using words out of context or making as much sense as a caveman applying to an accounting firm for an execuctive positon says to those othe than the simple layman that the person making the said comment should refrain from making comments until they are inteeligent enough to make SOME sense!

  • Media Cartels? Are you talking about HBO? Yes, they helped him by giving him airtime. But George's comedy ripped on everyone. I certainly don't remember him promoting any corporate "tongue-waggers" or advocating infanticide and Marxism. Your opinion is always welcomed, but you can keep the slander.

  • Yeah if you don't know that George Carlin went after EVERYONE! Anyone that says otherwise does not know his stuff.

  • Excellent. If you look at Carlin as a whole he was a thinker along the lines of Thoreau. I used to classify him as a libertarian, but that wasn't quite correct. He was more of a libertarian anarcho-capitalist (system) who disliked the ugliness of the existing power-grubbing mixed economy (that is falsely classified as "capitalist"). Props.

  • "he was just here a minute ago"

    ahhh man. that's gold.

  • The BEST COMIC EVER! He is the greatest! He was true to himself and US! He said it plain and simple, it is what it is! There are those that call them as they see them and that is that, HE was just that! I LOVE him for being him!

  • From one man's legacy to another. Search for "junkies jobby: invisible sandwich" - a funny sketch idea....your thoughts?

  • GEORGE CARLIN, IS IN HELL.

  • But I guess an all around dopey douchebag like you will be in heaven? What a lovely thought. An entire army of arrogant obtuse boring malevolent cunts ... all occupying one space, and they presume to call it "Heaven".

    Now that's funny.

  • Holy shit.... Thats is awesome. That sounded EXACTLY like something that George would say... Thats pretty fucking cool man. You do him some honor...

  • he DID say it!

  • That was spot on funny! well said Miller!

  • @ShahidMiller wow i scrolled down lookin for a little commentary on hte greatest stand up comic this side of rich pryor and what do i get..the great santa debate. enough bullshit..tell that fucker whats what. btw no god never was. it doesnt take a comedien to say it..he had a nice way to put it though

  • ya so is everyone who has ever had any fun or any influence, politicians lie and rockstars do drugs, hell is where all the fun is and its nice and warm

  • Yeah, too bad there is no Hell. Next!

  • and you know this how????

  • Your grammar sucks. There is no need for a comma in that sentence. Also, go fuck yourself, there is no "hell".

  • yes, hes in hell, "smiling up at us" hahah George is a legend!

  • Or cooking apple pies without an oven :)

  • Oh man... what a hero.

  • No such thing as hell

  • can't leave him out? are you f*#king kidding me??? he's #1 on the list!

  • best comic ever. sorry hicks, you are number 2
