really enjoy his work. a man committed to his art. i was a big fan ricky gervais during the office years, but he's now becoming bloated on his success. the word sellout springs to mind.

@hereticmagpie I agree but to be fair Carlin is practically a non-entity to the British general public, so its doubtful he'd get high in anything but a "Comedian's Comedian" poll. Hell even amongst many of my stand-up saavy friends they know him first and foremost as Rufus from Bill & Ted. Shame but much as Lee has decided to maintain his network of indie dates in Scotland and London, Carlin spent his last decade on HBO so international knowledge of either is damn low.

41? I'd put him in my top ten...

why do you say shite and not shit? how does adding an e make it less offensive?

Nah! He is a genius.

Stewart Lee is genius, but I have to say this list was incredibly arbitrary and rather useless. George Carlin was behind Phil Jupitus for fucks sake! And I'm a Phil Jupitus fan!!
Stewart is by far my favourite British comedian and writer. He's absolutely fantastic.

I predict that most people who view this clip will miss the point of the jokes, and it will become another tedious UK Vs USA argument. Stewart Lee is a genius, I cannot believe he didn't get higher.
