Between George Carlin and Richard Pryor, i don't know any two comedians that can come close. George was a philosophical comedian and pryor was the best story telling comedian. RIP both.
@mancinkm To be honest i would never consider one comedian better than the other, each of them had their own shtick....Some comedians like Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison had a lot of talent but died young.... Comedians Joe Rogan and Jim Jefferies are showing a lot of potential.. There are still some Excellent comedians such as Robin Williams, Louis C.K., Chris Rock, Seinfeld, Bill Burr, and Gabriel Iglesias.
@tinman765 Some of those have had up's and downs, Bill Hicks though was a genius, if he'd have survived I've no doubt he'd be mentioned in the same breath as Lenny Bruce or Carlin. Another really solid comedian around right now is Lewis Black, his material feels a little less prepped than Carlin's (Carlin always felt like it was a guitarist playing a song, he had a rhythm and presentation all his own) but damn funny stuff.
@ZarathustrasCrown Definitely Black is a Solid comedian...it's funny how he has able to carry his emotions into his material...not many comedians can do it as well as him..
@mancinkm i don't think you have to choose either or. i think both were brilliant philosophers and sociologists just in different ways. george told beautiful stories just as richard did. to say one is better than the other, would be to try to say rembrandt was better than michelangelo or vice versa. i think both of them were perfectionists of their personal expression and that's what made them the greatest. because they mastered their existential self and epitomized the zeitgeist.
@mancinkm Carlin and Pryor were and are my favorites because you listen to them and they were so on the money and you could relate to them even if you weren't black like Pryor or misanthropic like Carlin.
@mancinkm I liked him more and more after I read his books and saw him live. I loved the fact that as he got older, he'd see something stupid and say "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!?" and would eviscerate the concept so thoroughly that you really had to ask why it was the way it was, and find it funny that no one thought of it as ludicrous.
Carlin was a great observer, and he'll be missed. Hopefully there'll be a new comic (My bets: Lewis Black/Louis CK I believe) that'll step up.
@MrVinushka Carlin i can not recollect ever performed in Europe, South Africa, and even Australia. It is sad that he is a relative unknown in other parts of the world and is only known in the U.S. because his ideas were so deep and thought provoking that all of mankind could truly benefit from his insight of the word.
lol poor louis black... they put his teleprompter way up in the top left corner of our screen. lol its like he has a nervous twitch constantly looking over that way even when its not his turn to talk lol
I love how Bill Maher compares himself to Carlin, what a fucking joke. And to Larry King the most interesting thing about Carlin is the fact that he could remember his own material....
@CynicalCatharsis I think any good comedian is more than a philosopher. I think the philosopher is searching for truth, while the comedian has the truth, is dissatisfied with it, and ridicules and makes fun of it. The philosopher may have the truth and be dissatisfied with it, but since he thinks the truth will set him free, he continues searching and examining in vain.
Sometimes I forget that he's really gone, and for almost three years no less. I watch his HBO specials and listen to his old albums. So much of what he said was so timeless...
@CynicalCatharsis Not really true. Perhaps in modern terms, but comics traditionally reflected society's ills. In ancient sufi culture, street 'fools' were often keepers of great knowledge. I see people like Carlin and Hicks as in that vein.
@Problembeing Well, let's not be hasty here. You're saying it's 'not true', and then you sort of agree it is true :D Anyway, I am not here to argue, I'm merely pointing out a little known factoid, and there is little point getting hecked up about it. I am both a huge fan of Hicks and Carlin, and their genius shall live on forever. One point... Their genius would have been as contained as the sufis if it were not for technology (Radio, TV, video, etc). Imagine Sufi TV :D
@GaryNull great point. I like to think that GC knew the 911 official story was a load of shit, but he was smart enough to keep his mouth shut because he knew how revered he was among the critical thinking crowd and it would've probably become a circus if he did speak out about it. I think Maher got the "sit down meeting" and that's why he's so insanely against any noise from the truthers.
@JonnyLikesPie Whether 9/11 is a inside job or not, your not going to bring back the dead... We saw two planes hit the trade center and the pentagon, that's a fact... If the trade centers were brought down by demolition charges....someone would've noticed the chargers...but with that being said who knows if the government had any partaking in the event or not..the government has lied so often they have no credibility anymore. *Hint* *Hint* " Vietnam War and infecting prisoners with aids"
I discovered George when I was in the 8th grade. I was digging through my parents' records and found one called "Class Clown" and my life was forever changed!
My brother liked Carlin and I remember in the 60s he'd stay home to look after me when my parents went out and one time he invited a couple of friends over to listen to Carlin but since I was too young he made me stay in my rm. Years later I got into Carlin. Now they are both gone. since 9/11 and everything Carlin makes alot of sense. Spooky, for me anyway.
@mprime2003 unfortunately not many people knew about bill hicks...and still don't... bill wasn't really popular in the U.S. ,he was more of a hit in England and australia .
@Rexter2k9 The only real difference was there beliefs. Hicks was an optimist, and a very spiritual man. were as Carlin was a Cynic and a non-theist. I liked George more because he was a master of speech. And infinitely more clever. Bill was incredibly intelligent, and had wickedly sharp observations. but he could never craft those observations into what George could. Bill staeted facts, and pointed out stupidity. But George made you think.
well i agrre carlin is the prodigy of all protestor-like comedy, but i must prove your wrong on the fact that bill hicks is a by product of carlin. bill hicks used to perform in small comedy clubs while caring about other comedians at all. if you say that, then you could say carlin is a by product of bob dylan... well bill hicks is a by product of his own, he has always brought up ideas similar to carlins, but trust me, those ideas were all based on the biochemistry of his own brain.
It's been a year and a half, and I still miss George. I'm in my late 30s, so the material that hits me closest to home is the from the last 20 years.
Like Bill said, even if you took out the jokes, there was still a thought provoking speech. I actually think he may be the single largest influence on how my thought patterns evolved. Oddly, Lewis Black and Bill Maher are my current 2 living favorites, but (no offense to them) there's still an immense void in the comedy world.
I gotta say, when it comes to "going far" I think Bill Hicks had already gone as "far" as possible when he talked about the NWO back in the early 90's. The thing's he said back then were just as "far" as Carlin's last two shows. Hicks, though was never as intricate or intelligent as Carlin.
@gibbsies I think that's unfair to say. Hicks died young, there's no telling what he might have done. I have a preference for Carlin, because he managed to be funny all the time, but Hicks was a very special comic as well.
This was in my Youtube Recommended For You list, and I'm sorry I listened to it. It brought back tears.
Maher can be funny sometimes, but he will never hit Carlin's caliber. Carlin was a humorist and philosopher; Maher is a political comedian, and his agenda is almost always obvious.
Unabashedly I can say I got choked up watching this, even two years later; that's the kind of impact he had on me, and I only heard of him about five years ago when I was about 16-17, let alone what he did for hundreds of millions. A better man than any of us will ever dream of being, George Carlin has died, but he will never be dead.
The only thing I hate about being 19 right now is that I couldn't truly understand Carlin's brilliance and comedic mastery until he was already dead. I really wish I was born much earlier so I could truly enjoy his comedy and insight on life when I had a chance to meet him or see him in person.
@quarrynate153 Same here. Hes been the biggest influence in my life and what troubles me is I discovered him a few months after he died. But he opened my eyes and mind and now I'm pursing my dream of stand up comedy.
@quarrynate153 You know the funny thing about that? Is that everything he said back then, is still relevant today. so all you gotta do is, get all the George Carlin material you can find. And prepare to do alot of thinking because you will be inspired to think. But try not to eat or drink anything while looking at or listening to his material. Because he was funny as hell. And you could easily choke. :)
@quarrynate153 PLEASE DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE WHOLE 'WISH I WAS BORN THEN' THING. GLAD YOU LIKE HIM, SHOWS YOU HAVE AN OPEN MIND. IF YOU LIKE GEORGE CARLIN, YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN RESEARCHING THE GREAT LENNY BRUCE. PEACE, 'BRU.
@quarrynate153 Same here, never saw him until I was online. Its sad. I'm 21. I heard Bill Maher before Carlin, of whom I found while looking up Bill Maher videos.
@quarrynate153 Ditto..I'm 21, a couple years older and I wish I could have discovered the gritty satirical comedic genius of George Carlin much earlier in my life. But gladly netflix allows me to do so now. He truly is a great influence in my life.
@mikebettis Yeah man, just started listening to him. I already know about alot of what he goes over but he just conveys it in such an understandable and borderline philosophical way. The mans quickly becoming a legend to me, and I'm not the type of person who draws a lot of inspiration or admiration from other people.
@quarrynate153 exactly the same here. until after he died, i only knew george from bill and ted. but now he is one of the true legends in my eyes. a genius, so far ahead of everyone else.
@quarrynate153 I am proud to say I got to meet him once. He was doing stand up in my city. I was working the front desk of the hotel he stayed at & got to check him. He was a man of the people & I was so impressed that he did not have someone else check in for him. Great momment I will not forget.
@tinman765 The problem is, he's got a bit of what Glenn Beck has. They both forget that if you make people hate you by attacking their stupidity, they're not going to listen to you. Then you're left with rednecks, hicks and elitists who think they're smarter than everyone else listening to you...you know, all the people causing all the problems. Then once you get that audience, there's the temptation to say what you think will keep that audience happy.
@surfer53 Glenn Beck went from a Conservative to Libertarian Light...Bill Maher went from Libertarian to far Left Progressive. Whether they got there through careful observation or not isn't the point. Maher is worse in this respect because he looks like he's really had to compromise much of what he believes in for the sake of his audience. He can't just cater to atheist libertarians. He's going for the entire Democratic membership by blaming the GOP for EVERYTHING.

The mans quickly becoming a legend to me, and I'm not the type of person who draws a lot of inspiration or admiration from other people.

@quarrynate153 I am proud to say I got to meet him once. He was doing stand up in my city. I was working the front desk of the hotel he stayed at & got to check him. He was a man of the people & I was so impressed that he did not have someone else check in for him. Great momment I will not forget.

I'm 27, and was lucky enough to see him twice in person. There's no one like him.

@tinman765 The problem is, he's got a bit of what Glenn Beck has. They both forget that if you make people hate you by attacking their stupidity, they're not going to listen to you. Then you're left with rednecks, hicks and elitists who think they're smarter than everyone else listening to you...you know, all the people causing all the problems. Then once you get that audience, there's the temptation to say what you think will keep that audience happy.

@surfer53 Glenn Beck went from a Conservative to Libertarian Light...Bill Maher went from Libertarian to far Left Progressive. Whether they got there through careful observation or not isn't the point. Maher is worse in this respect because he looks like he's really had to compromise much of what he believes in for the sake of his audience. He can't just cater to atheist libertarians. He's going for the entire Democratic membership by blaming the GOP for EVERYTHING.
