[wuicker]

That was awesome: tree spades! That's clever stuff.

[gam44es]

[simonjeste]

[1982youthanasia]

R.I.P. George Carlin. We miss him more every day

[toolongforyoutoread6]

Obama with an afro at 2:38

[Fussinated]

LOL Carlin talked in his last years just like the way he impersonated the old man who was talking about the aliens.

[ChrissieE5]

Boy, were they ahead of their time! If they thought television caused the demise of a lot of printed newspapers, what do you suppose they would think of what the internet is doing to them????

[BladedVelvet]

:o george carlin was sooooooo young. I've never seen him without his beard.

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

Lol its funny how they thought newspapers were dying back then.

[MUFC127]

3 Spades WTF?!

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

@MUFC127 I'm guessing a spade used to be a racist slang for a black person.

[bikebird]

@DEATHBYFLYINGCDS Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

@bikebird What did I win?

[brendalg4]

@DEATHBYFLYINGCDS Yes, there used to be a saying, "Black as the ace of spades" That's why the african americans turn and look at the camera when he says "spade" and he acts all embarrassed

[simonjeste]

@MUFC127 urbandictionary says "A derogatory term for an African American, more commonly used in the post-Civil War era than today."

[MegaObserver1]

George said, many years later, that he got sick of acting in TV variety show sketches in the 60's - and he was a guest on almost all of them. His quote was "I got tired of wearing the bunny suit". He agreed to host the very first SNL in 1975 but wouldn't be in any sketches. He did shortened versions of his stand-up routines instead.

[Alecdeluxe]

I got hard money that says Carlin is just mouthing the words. You can tell he's uncomfortable with even the thought of singing.

[HunterR909]

Ohh Gawd, they all are wearing redshirts TAKE COVER, INCOMING!!!

[RogerDodger69]

Paris Hilton on the left of the choir.... :D

[OwnedOver9000]

He had to go through shit to reach his goal! As he said "When swimming through life, do the breast stroke. It'll help you clear the shit from your path."

[MrAleckazee]

Daily news!

[Jedi862001]

Their are a lot of great interviews with george carlin on youtube where he talks about this "variety show" period of his life. While he did shows like this during the day, at night he was smoking pot with friends at jazz clubs and immersing himself in the burgeoning 'counter culture."

[mistarax]

corny 60's TV humor

[xMorgan06x]

What the FUCKING fuck George?

[TheCodemonster2]

three spa......

[JDev82]

[puttheblame]

At 1:03 the middle guy sneakly passes the newspaper to George.

Sorry I don't know the middle guy's name.

[WendingWanderer]

The guy in the middle is Tommy Smothers.

The guy on the right is Dick Smothers.

[puttheblame]

[doktorzoom]

Holy cats...was that Peter Bonerz as Agnew?

[Daisyno2]

[Oppledeldoc]

@doktorzoom Yes, it was.

[SockbatReplica]

I love how they're talking about newspapers going out of business back in 1968.. Because now they're REALLY going out of business.

[NickCarefoot]

Super Dave Osbourne is in this hehe... also Steve Martin helped write this sketch ;p

[genericusername1]

hahaha... watch the carlin interview on the chris rock show where he mentions how he had to do variety show stuff like this

[fodsaks]

It's a good thing they're not on a planet in Star Trek... They'd all be killed within seconds!

[puttheblame]

Lol

[hideHYDEimcoming]

@fodsaks notice how were all blue ensign miscellaneous? your going to die is all im saying.

[DarkRubberDucky]

@fodsaks Haha, I though the same thing.

[deepelmdesciple]

Back in those days he did TV shows constantly. I mean, there was no HBO until '77, and his record sales were only really good in the early 70's. So, basically he did literally hundreds of shows like this. When you do that many, some are just gonna suck.

[orrdrake]

Funny how some things don't change...

[videovirgins]

yea u can see he def didnt like it

[szorin13]

he looks unhappy here

[Coldbrand]

George looks pretty uncomfortable. You can tell he doesn't fit in.

[SmelOdies]

I don't know, his "three spades" joke tickled his outrageous bone I'll bet.

[DebraKadabra000]

my god george carlin was sexy as hell.

[HunterR909]

@DebraKadabra000 Yeah, then he started smoking weed, now look at him, Zing.

[xRhythm]

@HunterR909 He's been smoking weed since he was a kid. Acid is what did it for him.

[yacanleaveyourHATEon]

@DebraKadabra000 he was hotter in the 70s

[AbbyLaila85]

@DebraKadabra000 i was just gonna say the same thing.... he has been sexy as hell for quite a long time

[LucaTurilli89]

@DebraKadabra000 go in hell then and see how sexy it is :)))))))) :P.
