Re: George Carlin is dead

very sad news indeed...
the man is a legend and a staple in the comic world.
very happy i seen him last time he did the count basi theatre in red bank new jersey....it was an amazing show.
one of my favorite thing's about carlin is he was always current with his material. he went through the 60's, 70's, 80's ,90's and 2,000's and his act was always up to date. he never fell back....
he will be pissed.
R.I.P to you mr.carlin.

Re: George Carlin is dead

Probably my all-time favorite comedian, despite his descent into nastiness and bitterness toward the end.

I loved his routine on the triteness of some societal opposition to violent and sexual TV and movie programming. Some folks would rather have their children see people making love on the screen than killing each other, so Carlin took it another step and suggested replacing the work "KILL" with the word "F***."

MENACING WESTERN OUTLAW: "All right Sheriff, we're gonna f*** ya now. But we're gonna f*** ya slooooow...."

Truly a sad day for the comedy world. Never a setup and punchline guy, and some of the most intellgent humor I have ever heard. It's amazing what the guy could do to disect the english language and make people think about the things they said out of habit.

Re: George Carlin is dead

RIP George(Our Hippy Dippy Weatherman), you will be missed. Saw the man back in the mid-70's(his prime) at the Circle Star Theater in Redwood City. Definitely a counter-culture icon!

Re: George Carlin is dead

Great comedian, got all his stuff downloaded on my computer. Seems like there has been a lot of people passing away at an early age lately.

Here's the late great one ripping on our beloved hobby lol

Re: George Carlin is dead

I'm no longer a huge fan of his comedy, but he will be sorely missed by all those who respect intelligent comedy.

Re: George Carlin is dead

Yes he will be missed. One of the geniuses of comedy in spite of an angry bitterness at the end, kind of like some cigars.

This is my all time favorite, being a sports fan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YphEUa5LPjM

Re: George Carlin is dead

A giant as a entertainer and a human has passed. He will be missed. The ironic thing is that I had reserved tickets to see him in Vegas when I go in August.

Re: George Carlin is dead

These are my favorite "Carlin" quotes

I'm a bad american, I think for myself.

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.
George Carlin
