  • LOL at all the idiots  cheering all the football stuff.

  • I´m mexican and i love american football

  • till he mentioned the halmet I thought he is talking about real football -.-

  • @thmeamriicn Do you realise he is an American comedian?

  • @TheWhistler1967 well i wasn't thinking lol

  • Freakin awesome

  • I love how most of the people missed the point this genius made... ;)

  • why is it that football has 4, 15 minute quarters, yet still takes 3 hours to finish.

  • football dosnt even have a logical name

    dumb americans...

  • @paramorerulzhard Actually it does, football is named football because the ball measures one foot long AKA football.  And that makes more sense than calling soccer football, considering your allowed to use both feet not just one, so it should be called feetball. You sir just got owned by a dumb American, good day eurotard.

  • @Epimpin101 football makes perfect sense because you hit the ball with ur foot and american football is just a copy of rugby, which by the way is ONE HUNDRED TIMES better than ur dumb american football. i mean come on, superbowl is 50% ads and hardy even football

  • @paramorerulzhard

    If you can't see the huge differences between Rugby and American Football, you need your head examined. You also conveniently overlook that Rugby is itself a code of football, but doesn't doesn't use feet all that often either.

  • @Epimpin101 False. It's football because it's played on foot, not on horseback. That's why soccer is called football, rugby is called football and aussie rules is called football.

  • @dasbigl By this logic, Baseball, Basketball, tennis, lacrosse, ping pong and bowling are all also football.

  • @Epimpin101 Umm... no. I'm an American and everything you said is utterly wrong. It's called football because it was invented as a derivative of Rugby, which is a derivative of Soccer. Our game changed immensely over the past 100 years, but the name never did. We use an outdated name that no longer really applies. American Footballs are about 8 inches long.

  • @adembroski I was wrong, they are almost a foot, but that's not where the name comes from.

  • Why the fuck are people arguing about sports? To each their own. Baseball requires skill just like football. You have to be able to hit, throw, and catch the ball, just as well as being able to run. In football you have to be able to take orders, run, throw, catch, and lead. Baseball's time varies while football ends by schedule. Matter of opinion, just play what you want to play.

  • In football, you receive a penalty. In baseball you make an error......WHOOPS!!!

  • He didnt even mention death valley stadium or the pistol although the pistol probably wasn't around then.

  • Being told baseball isn't a contact sport. And replying it is if your good at hitting. Baseball swag

  • Ha! 3:33-3:52 made me laugh out loud....

  • Very baffling. I have recently been inundated with requests for me to repair American footballs. Soccer, i can tell you all the rules, and rules even the refs dont know. Looks like i will have to learn the rules for NFL. so i know what i am talking about with the clubs. However after watching quite a few games, i am no nearer. BUT i will suceed

  • Baseball is such a bitch sport. Haha.

  • @waternotch shut up, every pro baseball player could murder you easily. when you think about it baseball takes much more skill to play. Any tall fatass that can run a little can be a lineman and any black guy who is fast plays every other position. Fuck you.

  • @pimptripp your a fuckin clown baseball is garbage buncha pussies including you...dbag

  • @pimptripp so go tell your last 2 sentences to any football lineman - black/white/whatever - and see what THAT gets ya. 'fraid i have to agree with 'waternotch' on this one. fuck baseball; baseball sucks. and i'll betcha even a football special teams player could easily murder ANY fucking baseball player!

  • @dislikabledude

    It takes no skill to be a football player. Sorry, that's the truth. All it takes is a) being tall and b) being fat. Oh, and to be a quarterback, you need to lob a ball a whopping 10 feet.

  • @TopTenCrew You fucking idiot.

  • @failedsensez

    Tell me I'm wrong.

  • @TopTenCrew Okay, you're wrong. Very wrong.

  • @failedsensez

    Nope, bro.

  • @Spartin326

    If it's so bad, why do you have the Mets logo on your profile? lol

  • HAHAHA, funny, but I do disagree, I've played baseball in rain countless times

  • @nfl2946 Football. But I don't like either.

  • @lucasivanmuller That's because when Irishmen came to America during the potato famine, they combined international football with rugby and kept the name football.

  • American Football (yeah, I'm from argentina so it is American Football to me) it's funny. In most sports, the name is associate with the sport. For example, in Handball you carry a BALL with your HANDS. In Football (soccer), you carry a BALL with your FOOT. But in American Football, you carry an EGG with your HANDS, so it should be named Handegg

  • I am latvian but I love american sport. I cant understand what is more popular: baseball or football?

  • @CorporalActivist just because there's a point behind most of what he says, that doesn't make him a "lecturer" instead of a comedian

  • He's more of a lecturer than a comedian honestly

  • resonant1111 could you please read into it a little more. You're so deep

  • In baseball ... YOU WEAR A CAP! LOL

  • football = war simulation. he's being more critical here than anything, pointing out how much people love war and violence. the audience doesn't seem to get it...

  • Brilliant. 

  • this is the smartest man on earth....or in earth...regardless this man made sense

  • 116 people are Dominicans...

  • @NarutoDude134 I'm Dominican and I love this shit... but I understand

  • Football, I mean SOCCER as you stupid Americans call it, is the best sport in the world!

  • @cerritoboy oh look some foreigner that we can bomb back to the stone age talking shit

  • @cerritoboy Why do I see people like you in every video that has to do with American football? You guys seem to be really butthurt because we don't give a shit about soccer. Fooball fans never go to a soccer video and bitch about the use of the name. And the "stupid American" shit is getting old.

  • @cerritoboy Wait til your balls drop and you can give rugby a shot.

  • @cerritoboy um, when it was invented soccer was its original name and then they changed it to football...look it up

  • @cerritoboy Soccer sucks. You know when a sport is boring when it's often that the score at the end of a game is 0-0.

  • @wwechristianpeep handegg is gay

  • @marcopolomario Soccer is so slow and borring. Plus I like baseball better. In baseball teams can win while trailing in the 9th. In soccer teams never win when trailing in the 88th minute. Also you don't have to watch a full game of baseball to see it end in a tie.

  • @wwechristianpeep really true when losing in the 88th minute u most likely wont win but check this out 1GOAL = 3touchdowns = 9 homeruns = 30 basketball points hahaha thats why the low scoring thats how hard it is to score a goal

  • @marcopolomario It isn't about how hard it is to score a goal it's about that low scoring games are boring and a lot of times you have to wait for eternity for a goal to happen

  • @wwechristianpeep yeah but that why u follow teams not just watch random when the USMNT play a tresure every minute on the field but thats just me if u dont follow a team well its going to be boring i also cant watch soccer unless the USMNT are playing so yeah just follow a team with your heart not stats

  • Baseball still sounds better... Baseball takes WAY more skill.

  • @raywilliamandrew sure it does...

  • @raywilliamandrew no it doesnt...

  • i find it true and funny

  • He's saying that people like football more because it is more war like and baseball is more peaceful. This little joke goes much deeper than I first anticipated.

  • Baseball takes more skill than football

  • there are Four Comedians that stand above all others. George Carlin is one of the those Comedians. He may be gone but his legacy with live on.

  • LOL!! SOOOOO FUCKING TRUE! 

  • George Carlin is a great comedian! Especially when comparing sports like that!!!

  • 116 people dont like football

  • its genius

  • No one cheers for baseball. Everyone cheers for football. Interesting

  • @Youngblood1701 Baseball sucks haha

  • This man is talented

  • A genius who revealed the truth about our scoiety through jokes and sarcasm

  • My college professor used this for a lesson. That's how brilliant George Carlin was. 

  • @Patriotismtriumphs

    so did mine. in my Religous Studies class, he used this video while he was doing his lesson on how sports play a role in religion in the modern world

  • @420timetosmoke420 this? from an atheist?

  • @Patriotismtriumphs Your college professor must have used every Gorge Carlin stand up he must have been a big fan you dumb fuck

  • @pzaark What in the world are you talking about? Are you butt hurt over something? I was complementing George Carlin not insulting him. I think you might be an idiot. And btw I take college class and i'm only a high school senior so obviously I'm not dumb. I think you need to get the dick out of your ass and enjoy life.

  • Super George says it again, well missed

  • I liked the SNL version better

  • @SilkySkillsUnited Did they rip him off or something?

  • @CoolerKing37 No no, he was hosting the first episode in 1975 and did this skit. But I think because he had to do it shorter for prime time, made it a bit more concise and funny.

  • sooo he likes baseball?

  • Safe at home...

    Safe at home...

    Safe at home...

  • what an awesome person!

  • R.I.P. George Carlin

  • whats so funny about this? he's just stating facts...

  • @markdm166 its how he is

  • @fadetoblack1290 Simple, I watched it, thought about the comment I was going to make, made the comment, moved on to the next video.

  • EPIC!!!!!!!

  • Comedic perfection. Football=Helmet...Baseball=Cap­.

  • love em both but football is much better to watch

  • People seem to misinterpret what Carlin is saying.

    Baseball is a carefree sport, where its a happy atmosphere, and is fun to PLAY.

    Football is a brutal sport, where its a angry atmosphere, and is fun to WATCH.

  • baseball is great, football is great

    i watch both

    play baseball

    follow both

    he's poking fun at each sport by saying that baseball has a friendly atmosphere and promotes happiness and a carefree attitude even though it's one of the most stressful and difficult sports on earth

    at football by saying it's pretty much a warzone and that people are hostile and enjoy violence even though football is a glorious game, as is baseball

  • A comedian's inspiration is the crowd's laughter

  • americans should try real football and keep up with the rest of the world.

  • @kOaMaster2 The rest of the world is overrated.

  • @kOaMaster2 and you should grow the fuck up and get over it, if u dont like it well tough fucking luck

  • @MrMasonx742 grownups talk like you do?

  • @kOaMaster2 who said i was an adult, all i told u was 2 grow up something you cannot do

  • @kOaMaster2 I hate you European butthurt soccer fans complaining about football none of you would last three plays on a gridiron

  • @Johnnythebassman1 and that makes it better why? even worse. mediaval age-like fights with brainless giants?! no thanks. everyone can play football, you just need a ball.

  • @kOaMaster2 that was just a very ignorant statement. There are no brainless giants on a football field. The amount of plays, strategy, and timing take so much of your brain it's not even funny. You should actually watch a game of football before you make comments like that.

  • @Johnnythebassman1 of course you are right, I know that but let's be honest, it's not what you are looking for in the first place. my cousin plays american football (yes, it does exist over here and it's growing I'd say, thanks to TV & Internet) and sometimes I happen to watch games in tv, was already at cal bears matches. it's not that I totally dislike american football, I just rate it personally way behind football, in almost all aspects.

  • @kOaMaster2 I just hate when nobody outside America respects what we do. You don't have to like it just don't go knocking something that you haven't even tried. I don't particularly like soccer but i'm not going to say how dumb it is on the internet i've never tried it and I give the European soccer players respect for what they do. These are two completely different sports that can't even be compared.

  • @kOaMaster2 HA! so is rugby respectable but American Football a bunch of brutes?

    Please keep in mind the disdain across the cultural divide goes both ways, and just cause you're on the eastern side of the pond doesn't mean that you have the ultimate opinion on all sporting matters.

    I'm watching Rams at Seahawks right now, just so you know.

  • Fucking deep philosophy; hope you realise.

  • @Wirebeard Sadly MOST ppl cant begin to understand what he was and still is.The man was genius incarnate.

  • 3:42-3:52, RAIDERS GAME haha

  • Football is in the fall, when every thing's dying.

  • this was the first george carlin i heard when i was younger, still funny!

  • 3:58-4:39 the best

  • @KayoteThunder the pads dont help as much as you would think. i play and i would rather be hit by someone without pads than someone with pads.

  • @theman2474 Quite so. The pads are actually designed to increase the power of the hit. Pads are not for protection, they're your weapons.

  • george tells it like it is

    

  • 111 people struck out while fumbling in the 4th quarter of the 9th inning.

  • that 240p joke is getting really old. especially when the video is from the 90s, stupid fucks

  • He's hilarious. I loved the ending.

  • They both suck.

  • @NoisyNinjaSC2 Kill yourself...seriously youre not funny at all

  • @NoisyNinjaSC2 Old joke.... we meet again.

  • @NoisyNinjaSC2 Shut the fuck up and watch the video... we meet again

  • @NoisyNinjaSC2 240p comment... we meet again

  • @NoisyNinjaSC2 This is actually in good quality

  • @NoisyNinjaSC2 It's a comedy routine... do you really need so see it..?

  • @cpat97 He makes some pretty funny facial expressions.

  • @NoisyNinjaSC2 Shut the fuck up

  • @fadetoblack1290 Why were you reading the comments when George Carlin is talking?

  • @NoisyNinjaSC2 Kinda hard not to see the top comments. Also, who said I read them while the video was playing? Also, hypocrite much?

  • to the brits. its just a rudimentary understanding of our two top sports is all. baseball is a relaxed, kick-back and have a brew type contest. while our version of 'football' is a simulated battlefield. they contrast so much that it is comical.

  • Comment removed

  • I think If George was till here my might add... Baseball is for kids whose moms don't want to see get hurt, Football if for kids who's dads, want them to get hurt so they don't spend there whole lives with mom. Rest in peace Mr. Carlin we miss ya.

  • Baseball Parks also have different dimensions with the outfield walls... no other sport has that

  • I remember this - and love it! Thanks!

  • I've no idea what he's talking about in either sport - I'm not an American.

  • @Sunflowers159 Holy shit. Only Americans follow baseball?

  • @Sunflowers159 baseballs not an american-only sport dummy

  • Eh, i dont like either sports :)

  • @LackOfCareingerer Yeah ofcourse you do little yankee

  • "Football starts in the fall when everything is dieing..." Lmao

  • this was by my house in jersey.......

  • why is there so much hate on the internetz?

  • Why the fuck are people talking about which sports are "better"? Carlin was doing what he did best. Having fun with words.

  • Baseball is an amazing sport idgaf what any of you guys say lol but this is absolutely hilarious

  • unbelivably beatiful

  • R.I.P.

  • Yep.. Baseball is for pussies, football is for men.

  • @SSJinchuuriki That is not at all what George was saying.

  • @SSJinchuuriki Both of them are for cowards. Football you have tons of pads to protect you. Baseball is a non contact sport. Martial arts you have only a karate gi which is just cloth. You figure that logic out.

  • @KayoteThunder yea but at the end of it all the mma fighter has no logic left and is left brain dead. everything is a joke

  • @homerunhydock This is not mma. mma does not us karate gis and many of them have no form in their fighting. At the end of a football game you can be dead paralyzed or injured in various ways as well but there you have so much pads and gear. In martial arts you have nothing but your body and karate gi.

  • @homerunhydock so then when are you bragging about karate? Karate seems more cowardly then mma

  • @homerunhydock How the hell is it cowardly if you are getting hit with no protection at all by people who are trained to hit efficiently? In football you have so much protection to prevent all sorts of injuries while martial arts you have nothing.

  • @KayoteThunder because with everything there are rules, and is controlled

  • @homerunhydock Football has rules combined with pounds of pads and gear. Martial arts has rules minus the gear.

  • @KayoteThunder i could careless about niether really. Death has no rules

  • @homerunhydock If you can careless why make a comment saying baseball is for pussies and football is for macho men?

  • @KayoteThunder why are you putting such words in my mouth sir. I use to play baseball, you my friend are talking about SSJinchuurki

  • @homerunhydock Oh well there is no issue then.

  • @SSJinchuuriki Also calling someone a pussy should be a compliment. A pussy is a tough part of the female body that is capable of taking lots of damage and tears and then reverting back to it's and quickly healing. Those are strong qualities.

  • This makes me want to watch football. Until I actually start to watch football. Then I don't want to watch anymore.

  • I think many people who use this sketch to "prove" which sport Carlin preferred are missing the point. You can't take this on-stage persona as the "real" Carlin: he was onstage saying "f**k the children!" at the same time as he was playing Mr. Conductor for Thomas the Tank Engine. The point is to think about differences.

    And, for example, how someone interprets "football begins in the fall, when everything is dying" as an indisputable promotion is beyond me.

  • Football is a pussy version of Rugby.

  • @mayydaymurda You rugby people are hilarious with this. I don't want to trash rugby, but it does not rate with football. Never. I know you all have a pride issue where the sports are concerned so you all talk big, but its an inferior sport. Here most of the kids that end up playing rugby only do so because they can't hang on the football squad...a rugby player barely makes an average kicker in football. Stop it. Sit down or go have chat in your 'scrum', because that shit is no contest.

  • I LOVE baseball with a passion, but the war terms for fotball made me think twice for a sec. i friggin love this guy RIP George Carlin, you are missed

  • The quote at 3:59 is the quote that made me start to love football

  • Sure baseball isn't as rough and tough as football is, but it DOES have the hardest objective of any sport... Hitting a baseball coming at you at 98 mph with a 30 ounce bat.

  • @Quetzecoatl

    mph? ounce?

  • takes alot more effort in football. as Carlin said o0o0o I'm going home :DDD lol this guy..

  • baseball is BY FAR the most stupidest sport ever invented

  • @mikepartovi033 You are so wrong but thats your opinion.

  • @TheEarvin92 so if its his opinion he cant be wrong because its an opinion and opinions cant be worng. people might not agree with them, but never are they right or wrong. its an opinion and you either agree or dissagree. i dissagree;its not the stupidest sport ever invented but i dont like it either.
