  • If he's suppose to be joking I don't see it. People are confusing serious issues with comedy.

  • He's got the knack for rambling on. Wow.

    

  • Hey all of you people arguing....SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY THE MAN'S COMEDY. None of you are cool so fuck off, dust the cheetos off your keyboard and move around.

  • This guy isn't funny lol...I know he's dead, but still. 

  • great man R.I.P

  • In the end all he says is that environmentalists are conceited because they don't want a better earth for its own sake, but for the sake of bettering humanity, hell, maybe even their own individuals lives! Well guess what Carlin, the movement has changed. Now it openly has nothing to do with human prosperity whatsoever. And that's a good thing, right? We're al just selfish assholes anyway. Why should we even want to prosper? Why can't we just "be"? What difference whether we "are" alive or dead?

  • the best simply the best and he was rigth too

  • It's amazing how I'm still discovering how much GC relates to my worldview

    some people just get the big picture

  • Don't worry boys and girls. Mother Nature is already working on a replacement for us humans. They are being fabricated deep in the ocean around the hydrothermal vents. A new group of species that survive on sulfur compounds and chemosynthesis. So, go ahead and pump all of the greenhouse gases you want into the atmosphere. Our replacements will thank us later.

  • In a way he's telling it like it is, in another way he's an idiot full of sh!t

  • It's true species come and go, but it is out of scope today because of our actions. We are affecting the planet, we are contributing to mass extinctions. GC is using pessimistic relativism to appeal to his audience, idiots who don't give a shit about anything but themselves.

  • Yea I am sick of the save the planet shit. Its all a front to tax you and get more money from you.

  • Ron Paul supporters please stop spamming your saviour's name in every goddamn video there is, seriously, we get it.. you are very passionate about him.. but stop posting his name on videos which have nothing to do with him.. for fuck sake.

  • @oliver2k94 Were concerned about everyone, including you. Thats why we love Ron Paul cuz he really does stand for all of us. join the movement

  • PLASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! LOL

  • We could make earth look just like Mars or Venus! Lets do it! Who's with me?

  • Look at all you people debating who/what is right and wrong, bringing politics into it and missing the whole point - George was right "The planet is fine; the people are fucked!"

  • @MrNapwilson And ron paul just agreed. scientist used to say in 70s were entering an ice age now they say its warming. its all for politcal money. Paul taught me that.

  • @MrNapwilson You misunderstood him when he said "The planet is fine; the people are fucked." He wasn't saying that people are just getting crazy over nothing. He was saying that the planet has been through much worse than us, and that while our actions may one day make our species extinct, the planet will survive no matter what we do.

    This is correct. The 2.26*10^32J of energy that it would take to destroy the world is far beyond our reach. However, it is much easier to make ourselves extinct.

  • Poor George. He was so brilliant, but I don't know if He ever believed in Christ.

  • @hearts12ish I think he had a pretty clear opinion on religion, and I agree with him 100%.

  • @GVStudios 100% is a pretty significant amount;) How did you decide to believe all the same things as him with regard to Christianity?

  • @hearts12ish Because he has a pretty simple philosophy on how to treat that particular religion ( just like all the other ones ) = Insane, made-up stories written by men in robes in lack of better scientific evidence. Yeah, I tried to find your god. Then I turned 12. ;D

  • man this guys a genius

  • he doesn't mention the effects of human hunting and poaching

  • Ron Paul is too liberal to be considered republican and will just give Obama the election if he gets the nomination.

  • RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2012

  • So true!

    Thanks for sharing!

  • Nobel Prizes must create a new category: George Carlin Prizes

  • I wonder how many heads the HIV joke went over.

  • 1:40 "we haven't learned to care for oneanother" ...well... thats hard when you say in another context that love must be earned...if that is not pride that stops every act of love.. i don't know what it is ...he is(was?) a disinfo agent of illuminati

  • 1,129 people think they have supernatural abilities.

  • See, what people don't realize, is that one day, if we live that long, one species will evolve enough to take us down. We need to nip it in the bud, NUKE THE SNAILS.

  • argumental power : +9000

  • May his soul rest peacefully in that garage in buffalo.. I've memorized every word of this brilliant piece O_O

  • VIRUSES!!!!!!!!!!!  hurry faster....

  • peendw1

  • this person is not just a mere comedian, but already included in my list as one of the truly inspirational people/figure for me.

    Warm regards from Indonesia~

  • This man was one of the greatest minds of th 20th century, up there with Einstein.

  • bold attitude. i disagree on many pts

  • The people are fucked - so true!

  • AND FUCK THE REST OF YOU AGAIN

  • @69novaful you first, you narrow minded, superficial, daft cocksucker!

  • fuck george carlin. enough of us could save our world... fuck the rest of you that dont think so. Our world is our mother! Fuck the rest of you..

  • @69novaful

    If the world is our mother then why are we surrounded by many things that want us dead and can kill us (weather, disease, other people, etc.)? Nothing in this universe cares that we are here except ourselves.

  • @69novaful :)) god you missed the entire point. THE ENTIRE point.

  • when george died i cried like a baby. he's special

  • oh goodness here are all the enviromentalist gangstaz coming through if i believe in something or if i feel that strongly about something i don't listen to ppl who oppose it, for example i am a religious person so i don't want to hear what this guy has to say about religion, and i wouldn't watch bill mahars religulous, i would avoid it because it's something i feel strongly about, so with that being said if you don't like what he said don't listen to it, so simple! just listen to something else

  • @SEEKIN4BENEFIT You avoid the truth because you aren't able to cope with the reality of death and the unknown.

  • @EvilAntic your comment has nothing to do with what my point was stay on topic, i don't address random senseless comments.

  • @SEEKIN4BENEFIT No disrespect, but, if you "feel strongly" about something, opposing opinions should bear no relevance to you. I "feel strongly" that there is no God, for instance, and I go out of my way to learn as many differing opinions as possible. I'm not saying your wrong, but that your belief in God should be as powerful as your belief that your name is SEEKIN4BENEFIT. Or I think, at least.

  • @TheLegendOfRandy what benefit would that serve? i am strong in my faith so i could care less what others believe, and if someone is dissing my belief then why would i sit and listen to it? doesn't make sense, only a person weak in their faith would sit around listening to those who oppose it, i don't need to search in that area, i have already found it. my seekinf4benefit is for other matters, in matters of religion my mind is already made up! so no thanks to anyone elses view

  • lol i don't usually watch comedians because it's never funny to me but thiiiiis! this is my kind of humor, he actually made me laugh cause not only is the stuff he is saying in this particular video true but it's funny too

  • This is funny and he is right plastic wont do anything. But nuclear waste and the stripping and destruction of the natural environment by us is and will affect the environment... People seem to disregard that this is the only place that harbours life (for the moment). Just because you wont be here in the future doesn't justify your disrespect to the place that gives you life so much that it leads to mindless pollution. Life is so fragile, in a place that is already so hostile.

  • "Life Worth Loosing"... put the whole picture together. If we want to save endangered anything we have a long way to go.

    Philosophy? Listen to "stefbot", join the discussion.

  • I agree with most of what he says in general but this is bullshit, the reason we have to save endangered species is because this time around we MADE them endangered.

  • PLASTIC ASS HOLE

  • Fucking GOLD! This was hilarious!

  • Hopefully george understands that everything that we do on this planet is just a lesson for the learning,

  • Funny, his language is almost IDENTICAL to Rush Limbaugh's re: arrogance of thinking we can destroy the planet

  • 1,117 people are fucking stupid

  • I was about to google search George Clooney, and then i saw the name George Carlin instead. Im so glad i did.

    Ron Paul 2012

  • @royals1985brett ron paul troll?

  • @royals1985brett You do realize that carlin hated all politicians and the political class? Ron Paul... ?! Ron paul can go fuck himself.

  • @royals1985brett Fuck Ron paulbots watch George peak on Politics or type in George Carlin why I don't vote, blind fuck, The American dream is something you have to be asleep to believe

  • @withinsight2012 speak*

  • @withinsight2012 I'd vote Ron Paul, because I'd be sure he would destroy the economy.

  • @withinsight2012 Nice ripping a line right off Goerge Carlin, you mindless zealot.

    Do some actual fuckin research on the guy (Ron Paul) before concluding he's just like every other politician.

    Carlin supported many of the same ideas that Ron Paul supports. I'm not sure if Carlin would vote for the guy, let alone endorse him, but if he absolutely had to vote, I have no doubt he'd vote for Ron Paul. I suggest you vote this year, the oppurtunity is too rare to waste.

  • @DaFleegsta obviously the line was from George that is exactly why it was stated, that alone should show you what a fucking sleeping moron you are, go to the youtube search and type George Carlin Why I don't Vote and Shut the fuck up about your bought out system and illusion of a savior fucking Paulbots

  • @withinsight2012 Nothing about George was Political so get that shit out of your fucking heads, he hated that shit,

  • @withinsight2012 That was probably one of the most nonsensical comments I've ever read.. Right up there with creationists trying to disprove evolution.

    You're a George Carlin fan, you should know that making actual points with sensical arguments is much better than spamming insults and "well, that video said...".

  • @withinsight2012 Instead of blindly agreeing with whatever a now dead guy said several years ago and assuming that it'll always be 100% true, despite the fact that CHANGES OCCUR in the world, try to think for yourself for a moment and just try to comprehend why Carlin said didn't vote.

  • @DaFleegsta Almost every politician in history has been corrupt, and will cater to the corperate interest if it means they get paid. But wait, here's a politician who has made honest and consistent points for 30 years (despite their lack of popularity until only recently), that George Carlin himself happens to agree with MUCH more than any other politician, might it hint at the possibility that this one politician is NOT a sell out??? :O

    Think for yourself, Carlin would be ashamed.

  • @DaFleegsta said didn't vote?he does not vote and never would, this is not my opinion or personal thoughts there his look it up you idiots and get of my dick, you assholes are focusing on the detail you want to project instead of wtf is actually being said

  • @withinsight2012 You completely missed the point.

  • @royals1985brett what the fuck. get out.

  • George Carlin was smarter than most liberal morons although he often leaned that way politically. George Carlin called out a lot of stupidity in our world and he was spot on in that respect!

    RIP

  • I'M WORRIED ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!

  • Carlin is bloody brilliant, but he died a miserable human being.

    He went from being an ingenious funny comedian to a ranting

    self loathing man. In my opinion, his attitude changed drastically

    after his wife passed. = [

  • @British0Pixie Wouldn't yours? The guy also had 4 heart attacks over his career.

  • @studas2011

    True, but that sort of thing usually happens when you intake

    the large amounts of cocaine and ganja he was well known for

    smoking; happens over a lifetime, but that has nothing to do with

    developing a negative attitude that is unleashed on important topics

    such as advocates for a clean planet. He is 95% incorrect here.

    Saying plastic is OKAY and the planet will find a way to 'overcome'

    is just plain daft thinking. He went from doing comedy to doing sermons

    and rants.

  • @British0Pixie I love how stupid people like you try to write smart comments like the one you tried here. " Nothing is lost, just transformed " Einstein. If it came from this earth it will be assimilated by the earth !

  • @Artofdrop

    I'm not 'stupid', just open minded -which is why I can discuss topics

    with other open minded and MATURE ADULTS without resorting to name

    calling. Besides, Einstein wasn't referring to the environment first off, second

    if he was alive today I'm sure his opinions would mirror mine in some way.

    Just some food for thought. Good day.

  • @British0Pixie Listen dude :) I know Einstein did not referred directly to PLASTIC. But is an universal idea. Compared to this universe we are nothing. even our solar system is nothing. Get you're head out of you're a*s and see the bigger picture. This is the only reply I will give. Have a good day.

  • @British0Pixie EVERYTHING we have created will decompose eventually the only thing we could do is destroy all life on the planet unless we destroyed the planet on purpose, in which case everything would restart or the planet would just become like the other planets without an atmosphere, also it is probably worth noting that we have likely risen to great technological advancements and destroyed ourselves just to start over.

  • @EvilAntic Can you cite any physical evidence that we have progressed to higher levels than we are at now with technology? Where are the fossils and skyscrapers buried under thousands of years of sediment?

  • @lilbromarky1 I didn't say they were more advanced than us now, but there are things that have been found like the Antikythera Mechanism, which can lead to a lot of speculation.

  • @EvilAntic I've looked into that device and the stories surrounding it, I remember not being too impressed with the whole deal. If we were to nuke ourselves into oblivion right now, it would take thousands and thousands of years for something manhattan to disappear and there to be no trace of it. I dont think we were ever even close to being this advanced on planet earth prior to this. The pyramids were probably built by aliens not humans.

  • @EvilAntic The man is a comedian. He is telling a joke. Enjoy it.

  • @Fourmalletz I did enjoy it, and if you don't have the ability to enjoy something and also have opinions well, that's your problem.

  • @EvilAntic Is there archaeological evidence to support such a claim? It is a nice thought though.

  • @British0Pixie His point was that people are arrogant in thinking they can save the planet. I think he expressed it quite well and humorously.

  • @British0Pixie

    I think George's point is that mankind centers everything around itself to the point of arrogance. We think we do what's "best" for the planet and all other life on it when in fact everything we do is actually just to serve ourselves and in the end nothing else truly cares or is going to care. We humans want a clean environment so we can continue leeching off the planet as the parasites we are. It's all self-interest.

  • @British0Pixie No, he's basically right. You just cant handle blunt truth. Think about it. The planet IS billions of years old. I dont need to keep repeating what he said, but what makes you think we are gonna destroy all of this? We are tiny, nothing. To think that we can reconstruct (destroy however you look at it) the atmosphere is just pure arrogance. Earth will outlive us.

  • @British0Pixie I thought the same thing. He seemed incredibly bitter in his last performance.I can't say as I blame him.I know if I lost my life partner,I'd lose my rosy outlook on life,too. Incredibly brilliant man,incomprable philospher.

  • @proud2bpagan Agreed. He had a strange yet full life but the ONE THING

    he cherished more than all else was taken from him and it rotted his soul to

    the core. His last few performances mirrored this, and if you notice -he always

    wore black during those performances after his wife died. A bit of a paradox wouldn't

    you say? To be so open minded and brilliant just to crash and become a pariah.

    Sad, but he will always be Carlin: The Legend.

  • Ignorance is bliss. epitomy

  • This man was more than a comedian. He was a philosopher.

  • @Jawohl721 not really, he was puttin philosophical ideas logically and humourosly in an extrordinary way

  • Alas, Carlin offers evidence that idiocy is not ALWAYS humorous.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • could be the answer to the age-old philosophical question: why are we here...? PLASTIC! >: D assholes...

    pure gold! ^^

  • "Pack your shit folks!"

  • George Carlin's Ghost for President!!

    or Ron Paul! haha

  • In general I agree with a lot of what George Carlin says. However he is way oversimplifying things here. Humans are the ONLY species ever to wipe out (and continues to) other species off the face of the planet. Generalisations about environmentalists is not helpful.

  • @Laoch111 I agree with that; however, I get George's point. Some environmentalists ARE self-righteous in thinking they're "saving the planet". The goal of preserving the environment is ultimately to save our own kind from going extinct, which I think it will in the not too distant future. The human species is self-destructive and the planet will recover after we're gone: it doesn't need saving, we do.

  • @MetallicAddict15 Yes, some environmentalists are self righteous but many are not and want to protect all life forms. The planet needs to be saved from moronic humans.

    Great quote from George Carlin: "There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past."

  • the planet WILL live on. people like many other species, will be gone. the planet will live on without judgement.

  • @smellyfooty

    Until it's inevitably sucked into a black hole and obliterated

  • George Carlin is absolutely correct! Stop saving the fuckin planet! Nature takes care of itself. Like he said before, "the planet is fine, the PEOPLE are fucked!" The earth is a self-correcting process...the planet isn't going anywhere, WE ARE!!

  • Too bad George Carlin is extinct <3

  • makes *perfect* sense =) great man!

  • What a manipulator, he is full of shit, he is misleading the viewers with his talent in speech and his false point of view

  • @SRDTL Dumbass

  • @dave486 Good argument, proves your point. Fuckwad

  • @SRDTL you didn't argue either. you just told us your opinion without saying why you think it is so.

  • @Loyadd 500 characters aren't enough for me to start quoting and replying a 8 minute video. However, i will give you an example. He is talking about us "hurting" the planet, and he is saying that we can't because he is literally talking about the planet as a rock, and makes it seem like a rational perspective about the subject. When saying "hurting the planet" people mean its environment, the current environment is what allows life on this planet, if we destroy that, there's no life

  • @SRDTL he also points out that you shouldn't give a fuck, because being an environmentalist, you essentially let companies have you clean up their shit yourself and make you feel good about it AND they also hype it up to promote more consumption(buy more green shit) so that you can have an environment to clean. also why do we give a fuck about a couple hundred million dying? let the weak fall, it's getting crowded already..

  • @Loyadd Funny, i bet you are a weak cunt yourself, under the safety of western civilization its easy to say such things.

  • @SRDTL you are not convincing me with your insults when you just bashed somebody for not arguing against you, only insulting you. btw yes it's easy. so? I get to live, because I'm more useful to society than somebody growing up in the wrong place, turning out stupid. everybody wins.

  • @SRDTL Bullshit there wont be life. Man cant destroy the life providing environment before he destroys *enough* of it to get rid of mankind, then the remainder will rejuvenate and flourish nicely without us.

  • @SRDTL To me he sais to change myself.. not the environment.

    He doesn't say go on and pollute it, it will auto correct.

    To me he is saying it is pointless to change the environment to our liking

    but change yourself if we want to survive a bit longer. we cant kill the planet but the planet can kill us. as can we ourselves.

  • Preach on brother.

  • ill educated crankey old coot

  • It's hilarious. The next video that Youtube wants to show me is about a bunch of animals deciding to use their natural containers (pelicans, kangaroos, etc.) to hold their groceries, instead of plastic.

  • SAINT GEORGE LIVES!!....or at least his image and voice is still being held captive by HBO... LOLOLOL ;)

  • I thought for sure he would say bees, trees, and HIVs near the end

  • Why are we here?

    PLASTIC! ASSHOLES!!!

  • plastic... assholes

  • I love the Earth but this shiet is still super hillarious hahahahha

  • He was a fucking genius.

  • I love this guy, he speaks so much truth..we really are so self-important, we are the dominant species in the world and we love the idea that we control the planet, control the life and death of other species, decide who dies & who not, we kill millions of swines and cows because we want to eat, and care about plastic bags and snails...

  • wow and i though he was liberal!

  • @dogincat12 you must think "liberal" means what fox says it means. -___- idiot

  • @roflwaffle12321 PWNED.

  • Plastiiiic!! :) I love the littleness of humankind!

  • y'all must be Americans because only americans would think that way

    For example:

    "The earth has had worse things like Ice ages, giant earthquakes..."

    Yes the earth did have all of these problems but we wouldn't survive any of them and yes we can cause something like another Ice age

    "Only some plastic bags"

    Even if they only were a small problem why should we create that small problem?

  • @kikoncuo1 you missed the point

  • "Save the planet? The planet is fine, the people are fucked."

    I know George hated bumper stickers, but I want one that says that.

  • @BatmanOneOhOne then get some bumpersticker paper and print some!

  • @BatmanOneOhOne he probably had one him self

  • Planet is fine... people are fuck... !

    agree

  • WHY ARE WE HERE? PLASTIC ASSHOLES!

  • The guy speaks so much sense, very intelligent guy

  • pack your shit folks, we're going away! haha

  • all time question: why are we here into this world? answer: plastic, assholes.

  • this guy is the best

  • If I use too little power (in die vereinigten staaten; USA) my power bill gets a $20 charge for not using enough... some bullshit efficiency charge...

    Liberals in the US are a bunch hypocrites...

  • LOL I love the impression he does after he says "a surface nuisance" XD

  • So much sense!

  • Comment removed

  • The whole "Eco" thing is just another tax scam from our governments. Go green!!! No go fuck yourself!,

  • Everything he says makes so much sense

  • He understood how minuscule and pointless we are.

  • Carlin: dark cynical rationalist... and dead.

  • @DocumentObject a dead genius 

  • he's not a funny comedian, just an abstract thinker -.-

  • I was expecting to laugh but the points are too good!

  • Why are we here?

    PLASTIC!! ASSHOLES!!!

  • And then wonder why they have lava in the living room... classic.

  • George Carlin opened my eyes to some things..I love his prospective and comedic edge, may you RIP! follow me on twitter @highndaski

  • I love this bit from George. No one puts it better.

  • @MASTERZERO92 Me - So you dont get George's ironic and humourous perspective on the way of all things? You - Huh? Me - Clearly not....

  • come to think of it the solar system kinda looks like an atom. haha

  • Wow he just talked about AIDS for those of you who didn't catch it

  • I would gladly and willingly kill Justin Beiber if it meant getting George Carlin back. :)

  • @corycashatt90

    you wouldn't if it didn't ?

  • @egobrain99 No, murder seems like a lot of a hassle without getting anything in return. lol

  • @corycashatt90 Too limited, I would gladly and willingly strap a bomb to my chest, take an AK47 and harvest as many innocent souls I could at a Justin Bieber concert JUST to have Carlin Back for a day. =D

  • @TheLegendOfRandy A little over the top and very cynical, I LOVE that idea. :)

  • The only thing in life that has a "divine will" is nature. It doesn't care who you are or what you've done; it'll wipe you out at any second without warning.

  • i believe in something better than god jahweh or allah i believe in george carlin

  • global warming...HAHAH HAHHaaaa... none........

  • saving the planet

    who?

    we?

    the people

    ha ha ha ha dream on 

  • George Carlin doesn't believe in god, but he believes that the Earth is a collective organism. He'd probably call it Mother Nature.
