- Oh my gosh! George Carlin discusses the American Dream from Life Is Worth Losing - Dumb Americans - George Carlin
George Denis Patrick Carlin was an American comedian, actor, author, and social critic. Regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comedians of all time, he was dubbed "the dean of counterculture comedians". He was known for his black comedy and reflections on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and taboo subjects. His "seven dirty words" routine was central to the 1978 United States Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a 5-4 decision affirmed the government's power to censor indecent material on public airwaves.
The first of Carlin's 14 stand-up comedy specials for HBO was filmed in 1977. From the late 1980s onwards, his routines focused on sociocultural criticism of American society. He often commented on American political issues and satirized American culture. He was a frequent performer and guest host on The Tonight Show during the three-decade Johnny Carson era and hosted the first episode of Saturday Night Live in 1975. His final comedy special, It's Bad for Ya, was filmed less than four months before his death from cardiac failure. In 2008, he was posthumously awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. In 2004, he placed second on Comedy Central's list of top 10 American comedians. In 2017, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him second (behind Richard Pryor) on its list of the 50 best stand-up comedians of all time.

As a university professor, I can sadly confirm that many schools artificially inflate grades to make themselves look better. It just ends up hurting students, though.
It's too bad Carlin isn't with us today...his take on social media in general would be fascinating to hear.
It sure would!
I remember when the grading scale was stricter than it is now for my kids. I wish we can get our grade school marks adjusted 😂
It hurts the profs who don't inflate grades, too
@@DianeJennings plz react to visiting America's most dangerous city
@@zionnichols7710 By which measure should it be judged "most dangerous"?
George Carlin is one of those comedians who is so unique that no one one will ever come close to his style of humor. There is a reason he was called the thinking man's comedian.
He’s the master of observational comedy.
I take in all views, but know why I disagree in most cases. Philosophy degrees convey power and the ability to infuriate those who are I’ll equipped for rational discourse.
Bill Burr reminds me of him. Burr is getting very cynical as he gets older.
I love listening to George Carlin. I have his AM/FM album. He definitely has a unique style for sure. There are a lot of topics he did that would get a lot of people mad about but there are a lot of truths in them also.
Doug Stanhope is the only comedian who comes close. I really think people should pay more attention to Doug.
Carlin was funny, for sure. His constant pessimism, though, is something that I can do without.
But he is certainly right about most of it.
"Don’t just teach your children to read. Teach them to question what they read. Teach them to question everything." -George Carlin
Truer words are rarely spoken, if ever. All the "schooling" in one's life won't mean jack if you don't teach them how to question claims. But the education system doesn't want that because - to paraphrase a line from the last scene of Good Morning Vietnam (1987) "They don't want our children to say or do anything controversial". Whether it's the powers-that-be, parents, or PTAs (parent-teacher associations) are ignorant and the questioners uncovered it or if that questioning is a threat to their power over the community doesn't matter. This lack of critical thinking will keep individuals and society stagnant. Fortunately, the Internet does offer hope (as it's a source of info independent of the local community, new media, advertizers and the entertainment industry).
Why?
@@david-1775 Because otherwise you get millions of NPCS going "Orange man bad" and electing a dude with Dementia that start world war 3.
@@filrabat1965 Information literacy hasn't ever really been taught in US public schools and it's a big reason why boomers believe everything they read on Facebook. I'm good friends with a former university librarian and most of his job was teaching freshmen students how to find and cite reference material for their projects because most of them came in without knowing how to do it. Trying to combat a whole generation of dunces who think "do your own research" means "watch a youtube video and trust it implicitly because it's not from a mainstream source."
@@SuzakuX Not all boomers are like that, any more than all GenZ look to social media influencers for everything. It's, as you said, educated-skilled vs uneducated-unskilled. Popular memes "do your research" is just the internet version of a bumper sticker saying and nothing more.
The funniest thing about George Carlin is that he isn't a comedian. He's a philosopher. Everyone just finds it more comfortable to laugh at the truth than accept it lol.
"Hey it was nice when we stole it!" gets me every time lmao
This Carlin bit is so iconic. I am not normally a fan of comedy that gains applause instead of laughter, but Carlin makes it work. There is something comically tragic about Carlin and the crowd collectively recognizing the situation they are all in. Our pastime is now consumption.
Reminds me of the quote form Men In Black " A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."
Perfect analogy
'Hippie Dippy Weatherman' his 1st TV appearance ❤️
We lost a great comedian when he passed. I couldn't imagine his craziness today. He was way ahead of his time.
Always loved George going back to 1971. And to the mall comment, "They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot."
This was the first George Carlin clip I ever saw. I was a teenager and he had just died, and it was a complete shock to my system, having grown up in a bubble, pretty much buying into the American exceptionalism propaganda I was fed by school and the media. And nothing about it has lost relevance in the decade and a half or so since it was recorded.
So true, the world is so bizarre that it is hard to look at it sometimes without a sense of humor to soften it.
There's never been a comedian more brilliant than George Carlin. I shed a tear when he died, as I did when I heard of Richard Pryor's demise.
Are you familiar with Bill Hicks? Unfortunately, he died in 1992. But his material is pretty timeless.
Even today, he’s as relevant as ever and every day his views and opinions are more justified and accurate; thanks for sharing!!
The thing I loved about him is he would rip apart right wing big business scumbags and then turn around and rip apart left-wing environmentalists and destroy soft language and political correctness.
He didn't give a crap where people were on the political Spectrum, if they were ridiculous he would make fun of them
@@RobwLPOC thats why comedians are often more real then any new org/channel out there, chapel, burr, jon stewart hold nothing back because if you try and separate every issue into red or blue we lose cause to thinking people answers to certain issues are obvious but because that would be 'democratic' republicans won't vote for it on principle despite it being the obvious choice to better people both sides do it. Purge congress elect new people with no party affiliation limit terms and put law in place that you can not form a group greater then 10 in terms of colluding to pass a bill and a person can only be a member of one such group violations will result in termination of their seat and banning them from running for any congress seat for 10 years. With periodic audits to be performed by the supreme court cause checks and balances I feel like congress gets to run a little to freely without any real oversight.
As Catholic kids back in the 60's and 70', we absolutely laughed our heads off at his Catholic school jokes
As a dumb American who isn't too light on his feet, I'm so glad to see you checking out more Carlin! My dad basically sat me down and made me watch him when I was really young, and I have absolutely loved the dude ever since. Totally shaped my sense of humor. His last couple of specials were more philosophy than comedy, but they were absolutely brilliant and some of his best work. As one of maybe half a dozen Americans who doesn't have any Irish ancestry, much love to you and Ireland! Hope to visit one day and get my ass kicked by a drunk rugby player haha. Cheers!
EDIT: Also, I do want to hear from people I don't agree with. TH-cam, in person, etc, so long as it's civil. I am happy to change my mind if new evidence is presented to me. We can't just cherry-pick what we want to believe, there are objective truths and falsehoods. I want to learn, and I want my mind changed towards what is true. It's just hard to keep up.
As a non-dumb American, I will say that best way for Americans to change this country for the better is for all middle income Americans not have babies. Soon Wall Street and the government will get the message.
@@larrybell1859 Hell, this entire planet is still overpopulated.
@@OMGtheykilledKenny42
I know.
Really miss George Carlin! He was a frickin' genius! His comedy was blue collar and down to earth for the most part! He spoke from his heart and made everyone laugh with him! He said a lot of things that most of us are afraid to say. At leas back in those days. A true legend! Thank you for sharing this!
I was lucky enough to see George twice since the late eighties #RIP
People love George Carlin because he's George Carlin. A frickin LEGEND. He also voiced the first seasons of Thomas and Friends, the tank engine show for kids. He was a very skilled orator, total master of intonation and delivery
he was so great i miss him
George Carlin is of Irish descent, must be something in the DNA that make you relate to him so well.
Side note, since you’ve become interested in football, look into “the immaculate reception”. I think there’s a documentary about it. Possible video idea 😁
must a steeler rust belt fan. how is that going.
@@richardmead5969 Giants fan here, it’s some interesting NFL history
George Carlin and Robin Williams, my two best comedians. No one else need apply! 🙂
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
I watched him do this in Vegas for my birthday several years before he actually filmed it. He was still reading Modern Man off a notepage on stage!!
George Carlin one of the best Comedians
I can attest to the lowering of passing grades just from 2005 to 2014. While I was wrapping up my high school diploma in 2005, the passing grade was a C average (76). While attending the local technical college in 2014, the passing grade was a C- (72). In eight years, the passing grades dropped four points. As for coming after our mandatory retirement funds called Social Security, they have been trying to for at least 20 years. My view is we are just pawns on the chessboard being moved around by the wealthiest people.
He's always been so brutally honest
20 years ago and he is spot on about politics and the people who really control the country
George Calin is a comdic poet of the social condition. His words are plain, and his messagesare clear. Thnks, Dianne
George Carlin was one of a kind. Comedians see the world differently and explain it so we understand it. His humor hit TRUTH on the head. I doubt there will be another so insightful as GC
George Carlin is one of a kind comedian. We need a hologram George Carlin in a comedy club. Thanks for the premier Diane for making the last Wednesday of 2022 enjoyable. It's chocolate day today 🍫🥳
RIP George Carlin. You're very missed!
His last few specials were basically him laying out a road map of what was to come.
George Carlin was a great teacher, and wonderful Irish American comedian.
I think Carlin mastered telling the hard truths without getting personally accusatory about it, which is why he is likeable despite what he talks about.
Thank you so much for reacting to it Diane! 🙆♀️
My pleasure!!
Got to see Carlin live in the early 90s, front row, just an amazing presence, massive intellect the way he arranged and phrased his whole performance and gave the ordinary man an understanding of how things really work
Love watching her facial expressions
I highly recommend his final routine, It’s Bad For Ya!
Absolutely. Politicians have been trying to get rid of social security since the day it started. It’s the most popular social program in America. And we don’t have that many to be honest. Compared to other countries in the west.
I find it depends on the country and it's different for each one, but I do find that the US is one of the worse for stripping away a lot of these things with others like the UK just behind them.
But what I find with a lot of countries, especially European ones in the EU is the resistance of the people to fight back, the UK did have that fight decades ago but it's lost its way, the lost it before that and I'm noticing that countries where the public are willing to stand up and hold their governments to account are in a better position for it, anytime you see riots, protest in European countries, that's a good thing because it means the public are not taking things lying down, whereas in the US and UK, people have been so subdued that governments have been stripping away things slowly over time by watering them down, hoping the public won't notices and it's no surprise why the US and UK are slipping in the quality of life index over the last 2 decades.
At the end of the day, you've got to blame the people for this, governments are a reflection of the people, the people are the ones with the real power, but if they don't use it, governments will walk all over them, which is happening in a lot of countries, but many European countries are doing far better on that scale, but more could be done.
You should check out the metamorphosis of George Carlin .... from his short hair and suit style of the late '50s and early '60s to the 1970 and '80s long hair hippie look and finally the angry disgruntled older man of the '90s. Lots of laughs from this guy and he will surely be missed!
George is Irish. That may help. Maybe. Though far removed from Ireland. He may have a similar perspective you relate to. And his intelligence is to be admired.
Give the current cold snap in the US and the heating oil prices in Europe coal for Christmas might in fact be a great thing.
Great point!
Love watching your reactions.❤
Love George Carlin, R.I.P. Mate 😇
You like him because he's Irish American... that theory is as good as most others. And he's correct about Rights: Things that can be given with a pen can be taken away just as easily.
So true!
Thank you for reacting to this. I have never heard it before. One of the coolest things about Carlin's work is that is hasn't aged at all!!
Our People..Gave George to us..My Dad Richard Loves Him
You are a treat for us!
Loved that you can see what’s going on not only in the US but everywhere. George Carlin had a way of making you think about what’s going on
Absolutely brilliant comedian and what he said is so true only now instead of going to the mall people order everything online 😂😂
I agree with every single word this man said! I believe George Carlin was sent to this world to wake people up of the dreams they living!
I love people watching the "Owners" section so much.
I love George Carlin too 🤣 x
George Carlin played a Bishop in the comedy film DOGMA.
One of his very best! Watch the one on religion. Priceless!
My all time favorite comedian.
Carlin was one of my muses. His insight is insane.
I bet George Carlin was like a pain in the ass for the establsihment! He never hold back always told things the way they were far from beeing politically correct/afraid of making people upset. We need more like him today.
George Carlin: Intelligent humor that makes you think.
George Carlin is one of the greatest comedians of all time. Now you've chosen to listen to him in his older years towards the end of his life. I suggest that you don't stop there, but you absolutely must listen to his beginning, the middle and all the rest. My other two favorite comedians from the past are Richard Pryor and Steven Wright. I'm a 60 year old dude that grew up listening to all the greats. CHEECH Y CHONG "Los Cochinos" 1973 album was hilarious.
The thing is, it's not even politics. It's economics. Economic, business, "market" interests drive everything. What is possible, considered, or implemented is entirely defined by what those with economic power want. Politicians just do as they are told.
As an American I can tell you it's okay to laugh at these jokes
Happy Weird Wednesday.
I’m so glad this is blowing up!
George spoke the truth.
Diane, have a look at Carlin's routine on religion. lol......he is spot on!! Keep up with the great videos! :)
FACTS!
Hi Diane, Chewie! Another great reaction. George Carlin was definitely right about education. When I was working on my BFA I thought I would take some education courses just in case I needed something to fall back on. Everyone I talked to from my professors to numerous people in the primary and secondary education systems threw up their hands in horror. Thank God I took their advice! When Texas began standardized testing the failure rate was tremendous so they so they made the test easier and when this didn't improve the situation significantly the teachers spent a month preparing their classes for the test. They would spend all day everyday taking practice tests and otherwise preparing for the test, with all other classes were neglected and of course this just served to make matters worse in the long run.
Give Chewie a hug for me, I love you and goodbye for now.
tried 2 months teaching in Texas. aweful. went back to first passion cooking. so much for bs degree
George Carlin is right & very funny.
Imo, that is very sadly, Carlin’s most powerful and accurate routine.
Mr Carlin is an Irish American catholic curmudgeon. I love the guy.
Man I miss him. I would love to hear what he has to say about everything that has happened from 2007-now. He always had a way of being over the edge but it was so poetic and on point. You always went "eh I wouldn't have said it that way but he's right." A modern-day Voltaire.
my goodness, when i saw you i was stunned. and then you spoke with that irish accent and i'm speechless. WOW, you are a vision of heaven. AND YOU LIKE CARLIN TOO!
I soooo love Editor Diane!!
13:42 I know what you mean, Diane. Poo jokes are not my favorite - but they're a solid number 2. 🤣
Your face, when he started swearing and being mean (and accurate lol!) I freaking loved it :-)
Thanks for reviewing comedy that makes us think a bit.
Seeing her face at 5:36 just kinda taking in the words was many things.
1. An angel died somewhere.
2. Innocents destroyed
3. Positivity lost
4. A women who can’t turn away from the sight of a train wreck(that’s also funny)
I do indeed like to agree with those I watch and listen to on TH-cam . . . however, I also like to learn . . . from people like you. Learning a lot about Ireland (VS American culture) from you. It's refreshing. Continued thank you's.
Very funny and ahead of his time!
Loved your reaction, George Carlin Is a legend
One of his early albums AM & FM is a classic. Thanks for the video! Be safe!
Thanks, you too!
I loved this video because you spoke truth to power. Finally.
yyYYYYEEEESSSSSssss! More George Carlin please. This man was not just a Comedian, he was a Philosopher.
But I'll admit, in this one he does more ranting than... philisophisizing lol
It’s amazing how many people agree with what Carlin said yet we never see change. It’s very frustrating. Carlin is a legend who’s words will live on forever
I put it down to this.
Comedians help to draw attention to things we’d rather not hear. But asking for the comedian to also be the one the propose a solution is asking a comedian to be something other than a comedian.
Solutions need to happen after your eyes have been opened. And that’s a whole other step that is uncomfortable to take. Change is active. We can nod our heads and go “you know, he’s right” forever, but it’s the next stage where we say “and I’m not going to stand for it anymore” that gets people hesitant.
* *whose*
well put
I showed this to my son when he was 7 years old, I wish my dad had done the same.
I would enjoy a video of ED interviewing Diane. Doing a conversation/Q&A. Then we could determine which is the number one Diane. Thanks for listening to my unsolicited request. 😘🎄🤓
That would be cool!
Love this ♂️ man.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👌👍🙏😉😁😇🇸🇪
Great reaction & insights.
Wow, hilarious.
Happy New Year
@12:39 "That one guy isn't clapping" Diane, did you notice how he was dressed? He's one of them.
I still hope to one day see Scott Sterling's Soccer Shootout sketch on here. ;-)
That said, I love this bit from George Carlin!
George Carlin is my spirit animal.
Some of my favorite George Carlin quotes:
If a man is alone in a forest and talking and a woman is not there to here him, is he still wrong?
One Tequila, two Tequila, three Tequilas, floor.
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
If a lawyer can be disbarred and a priest defrocked wouldn’t it stand to reason that a musician could be denoted or an electrician delighted?
The correct spelling is "hear."
He is spot on. When I was a kid a fat person was rare and then "diet" foods and drinks came out. So then people thought it was low calorie so they ate more and surprise, they got fat.
We need another voice like his today.
Editor Diane with no filter.......I just love it......
Once again, Chewie proves he understands the words he wants to understand. Treat every time. BOOP
He really does
Don't forget to include walk, along with treat.
I really enjoy George Carlin video s.
