"I kid you not" as a birth control pill name is a genius idea.
"One that doesn't work all the time: BABY MAYBE!"
That was my favorite of the list :)
Not really genius. It's mildly amusing though.
@Telios Abraxas best of all of them
@@ophiolatreia93 Well that's like your opinion man.
If they ship the birth control pills to your door, their motto could be, "We deliver so you won't!"
😂😂😂
I KID YOU NOT
WE DELIVER SO DONT

lmao nice
Good one!
It's astonishing when you compare the intellectual level of talk shows back then and those nowadays.
Vr Lux, I agree. I like to watch the old What's my Line? episodes. They are some of the most polite and eloquent people I've ever heard. But they're also greatly repressed if you watch the right shows. But it's still better than the toilet humor kid's shows we have nowadays.
Yes and the calm way theyre just talking to each other. Having a argument, disagreeing calmly.
@@amit212543 hey very good point/question 👌🏼 but in general the bar was set higher...school programs, workplace awareness, diverse admission tests and even driving license exams were tougher!
@@ninino86 like real mature adults 🤷🏻♂️
@@glennkonklin2926 man there's just no level whatsoever left today. It's depressing. I feel like losing brain cells everytime I come across a clip of a talk show
Once again, Carlin proves he was ahead of his time!
M Sealey and a classic that will live on forever way beyond these Netflix special so called comedians
Uhhh yeaaa remember the phone booth??
@@miked3168 there the good and the bad. Check out Andrew schulz.
@Alptraum He just had common sense. Anyone with an education will know that widespread use of untested medicine will lead to all sorts of horrors. Sadly, what wasn't understood was the effect of these hormone drugs circulating in the water systems and how it would collapse the fertility and birth rates on the long run. If this could have been imagined in advance, the pill would probably have never been released for the public.
Jose Holguin
I’m guessing you mean “Rufus” and not phone booths that used to be around towns, LOL!
So-Crates, haha!
Haven’t seen that movie since it was a new release in the video stores....saw it at the movies when it came out too!
I’ll have to revisit that one, thanks for the reminder.
😉
It's so weird seeing the legend George Carlin in his 30's... I just assumed he was born old lol
lmao
Wait till you see him in black and white!
Eyyyyyyyy
Try his appearances in the 60s where he had short hair, no beard, and a suit. I've been a fan of Carlin's for many years and I still can't get used to him looking like that.
@@AskDrannik When he was on Ed Sullivan.
Carlin saw right through everything. A true master at reading between the lines.
@Vatro Skok Guess he managed to see right through that one too.
@@maourazonica5945 Touche. Lol
@Vatro Skok Thank you for the insider information.
Most things, still human and he himself changed his views on things as we all do with age.
@Vatro Skok You only believe in the one you have been brainwashed to believe in. Most don't choose their own religion, that's a fact. If you can't figure this one out, then you are not one to call others fools.

No, no. He was fully invested in powder coke at this point...

Oh, I miss Dick Cavett. He actually read the books of the authors he interviewed. I learned a lot watching his show. And with today's issues, he and George Carlin would have a field day. I miss Carlin!
I'm not english speaker and i have serious problems to get that dick is a persons name, is so confusing, what was first? and why? is a nonsense for me. No one in my country is called what it would be dick in my language it would be so ridiculous to be named like that.😅
@@JP-xd6fm Dick is short form for Richard.
My wife and I were literally on our way to buy tickets to his next performance when we heard on the radio that George Carlin had died. RIP.
@@JP-xd6fm If you think that's confusing, then prepare to have your mind blown. Dick is a short form or nickname for Richard. Figure that one out lol.
We still have to get a note, and soon with this Sharia Court, we may not be able to get it at all.
So Dick Cavett in 1971 said on national tv that weed isn’t dangerous. Interesting.
Except that it is.
Lean like a Cholo Yes I know.
@@steelersguy74
He did acknowledge that its dangerous for some people.
Ok so its not dangerous to smart people
@@trevorpearce4532
That's a dumb and ignorant thing to say.
It's dangerous for people with a rare liver disorder in which the liver doesn't produce the necessary enzymes to metabolize cannabinoids.
Carlin was right on time with the criticism of the birth control pharm. companies - ahead of his time.
Interesting to hear George speak normally and not tell jokes, just stories.
The birth control was a bit of his he was already working on at the time. I've heard that on his Album 'AM and FM'.
I could listen to his (young) voice all day if it were narration, lectures, etc.
whoa I wrote a whole college paper on weed and got an A+. I never would have gone that far out on the analysis of the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner but I got wigged out and wrote and the professor loved it. YOU can write on weed. And it can be astounding.
The guy was a genius, he could mid-sentence start a set like that. Funny, with his cadence, insightful. Wow-what a talent.
47 years later and we still need a note. 😒
The govt. keeps track of breeding and non-breeding members of its population. We're too stupid and empathetic towards one another to think along evolutionary lines so unfortunately our governments have to do it for us.
What a great conversation they had about dope way back then. Damn I miss Carlin. I grew up watching him. Truly a brilliant mind.
Well you need to use the right one and we don't have medical degrees.
Not for marijuana!
rudeboymon Your comment is the most uneducated comment I’ve seen all day. You think women get knocked up just because they can’t “control” themselves? 😂 Nice. Well let me go tell my mom that when she was raped and had me, that she should have controlled herself. You fucking idiot.
God I miss George Carlin. We need him more than ever....
His lifelong fascination with and masterful handling of the English language places him right up there with Bob Dylan. He should've gotten a Nobel Prize for Literature too. But he got the Twain, and that's more meaningful.
Literature? That's for books... you know, literature. It was the Peace Prize
@@jansmitowiczauthor78 Nah. Literature is words. And this guy was a master. If Cicero was literature, so was George IMHO.
I’m really surprised to see “dope” talked about so rationally in ‘72 on a major network show.
Although my frame of reference is from growing up in the 90s, in the wake of the 80s war on drugs. I guess back then it maybe wasn’t as heavy of a subject.
dope was nothing when everyone was high on coke in the 70s.
The War on Drugs came in Hot and Heavy under Reagan. If it had been like that in the 70s, the Rolling Stones and every other great band would *still* be in the Pen.
Boss Nass. History has a tendency to repeat itself every 30 to 40 years. They say, anyway.
@@tleav61 simple direct but true
There was sort of a dichotomy back then. Even though society was more straight-laced, "controversial" subjects were regularly discussed on talk shows without any big hoopla. There was a bit more sophistication among the general public regarding such things.
This makes me nostalgic for a time I never experienced
hahahaha
The Dick Cavett Show was the best of all talk shows that have ever been or ever will be on TV. For many years now all talk show hosts are owned by either the left or the right and are completely biased. Back in the day a host as polished, clever and witty as Cavett could have an open dialog with his guests and discuss any subject. He allowed them to speak openly and did not interrupt them if they carried the conversation in an unpredictable way. This is exactly what America needs today more than ever.
Those dudes are 34 at the time? They look a decade older.
Gas'n'Oil drugs
Nah, they look fine.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
Yep.
I agree... They look older than that
"What about glacou - wait, we have to take a station break"
HA!
My grandmother always said pot made her more creative and energized.
I’m convinced Carlin was on the autism spectrum because I understand him so well. He also has stimming moments in interviews like this. Plus his fixation on language is very autistic
2:23 I still can’t believe Carlin’s voice in old age was a voice he used in his 20s and 30s lol.
Finally some George Carlin material in 2019!
HA
@ThePark 627 Thanks for letting me know
George is what a real comedian is,none of his jokes seem rehearsed,just pure natural off the top of his head funny,r.i.p.brother
The actual skit was on his album FM & AM, called Birth Control Pills. Had the album when I was 11.
In Germany it's called Antibabypille. Straight to the point :D
When I was 34 I was doing my best to fit into society that wasn't and isn't worth fitting into. Wish I would have gone with my gut at 17, I would have avoided many unnecessary problems. Love him or hate George Carlin, he had some great points. Not enough honestly looking at things these days.
At least you learned. Life is a learning experience and we accumulate so much wisdom when we’re not in living “wisely” 😂.
Birth control topic on a Dick show...very suspicious
But all jokes aside that man was a genius
they went to commercials right when they were about to talk about WEED as a cure for Glaucoma
i'd say THAT is suspicious
yeah just wildly misinformed about marijuana.
@blue copper fair point.
But now 100years later, we are left without the next part, which may or may not have been shredded into the sewers
2:25 he looked surprised by how many people laughed; and gestured a humble (extremely subtle) head bow...thanking the audience for laughing. What a wonderful character!
you're reaching too much on reactions man
Holy moly. He hit that on the head with the birth control and the weed. We miss you George Carlin
it's such a shame that legends like George have to die
But his legacy lives on forever
He had an incredible life and a long one. He and Christopher Hitchens are the two truly great social critics of the 20th century in my mind.
Just as difficult is finding his insight in anyone else who comes quickly to mind.
As do we all
As my dad told me, "We all have to die, I am just going to die before you." I remember that moment very well.
He actually is at his best looking around this age.
35 is pretty much it for all. After that it's hangin' on as best you can...
@@badad0166 No, it's because this is before, the first of three heart attacks.

@Muslim Trump supporter M.AG.A Your need to insert yourself into a conversation / response. In this way. Not to mention, at this ( ahem ) length. Displays your insecurities / aggression. With all the subtlety of a flashing red neon sign. Please get some help. If gentle teasing over a generalization. Elicits a manifesto. You need it.

Is that Tom with the weather? (Ooops, wrong comedian.).
I used that gag in a highschool powerpoint presentation
The hippy dippy weatherman!
Two intelligent guys having an intelligent conversation without screaming at each other. Imagine that!
out of all the dope smokers i knew in my life. I knew 1 guy who was put together and literally a normal person while smoking marijuana. When he wasnt high he was a mess. This was the one guy I knew who needed it truly. I totally support this dudes usage.
Seems like when people did interviews back then hey were more casual
Like,a regular conversation .it seems more genuine and relaxed than anything these days R.I.P. George Carlin-Goat 🤘
Well they use to invite real ppl with real talent...
Now ppl go to promote their book/movies/music etc... and there is a lot of propaganda
But you can tell that the host is somewhat scared of where Carlin would take things. In that way things have not changed, the hosts still sort of fake being shocked or being nicer than they actually are. "Oh no, this is a family show".. don't make the advertisement people nervous
Nowadays any casual conversation blends into an ad-read.
Talk shows were amazing back then.
Nah, Dick Cavett specifically was a really forward thinking guy. He had Hunter Thompson and invited all sorts of wild people, including Mohamad Ali etc. Dick had his own issues of course, like one time he asked Richard Pryor if white people could say the N word. Then again I think he did this in the 80's, and it was probably good on national television to have Pryor smack him down verbally for being casual about things he didn't understand. May even have set there interview up with Pryor, given all the rough racial issues in the 80's. Dick's shows weren't emblematic of normal tv though sadly, most tv channels were like less angry versions of ABC news leading up through the 80's. Sorta moderate but 100% shilling.
This is the most chill interview I've ever seen in my life.
Two intellectual giants shooting the breeze. What a treasure!
All talk shows were cool like this in the early to mid 70s. It was real laid back real conversations.
I just saw one he did with Dick 20 years later in 1992. Just as chill! : )
He slides through monologues and interviews without cussing so seamlessly back in the day. Incredible.
Dude, rock on to David Cavett for being so chill in this interview, especially when the conversation switched over to pot.
God bless you, bro
Chilled*
"Chill" makes absolutely no sense as a Verb when there is no "to" before it.
@@raprometheus3051 Daddy, Chill.
I've seen a lot of Cavett in the past 2 years for some reason. I thought he seemed a little awkward or something, but the more I watch him the more I like him and wish our hosts were like him. He asked good questions and he seemed genuinely interested. He wasn't trying to be fancy or overly funny or dramatic.
First impression doesn't lie
@@rollotomasi4135 i'm with Kel B....he grows on....Co-stan-za!
I met George in 1986 - a very nice man.
He's sooooo right about feeling ridiculous like 'here's my note'
I feel so blessed to have seen this brilliant man in person so many years ago. He was performing at the Circle Star Theater in San Bruno, California. The singer that was to b his opening act had to cancel so we were rewarded with three hours of non-stop laughter from him. It’s something I will never forget.
Yup. He was in Omaha the weekend I was supposed to be doing some big-assed report on something or other, I can't remember, Jesus it was 50 years ago. He did his finger-popping joke and I was in heaven. I remember at one point thinking, "I'm going to fail class for not doing that report." I did. I can't remember the class, but I remember George.
50 years later and women still need to take a note from the doctor to the store to buy birth control. That's crazy!
51 years later and my state representatives are talking about maybe banning them all together along with abortion. NOW THAT'S CRAZY!
.....pretty soon they won't be able to take it at all
@@whytheseaisboilinghot Christ, what state is that? It's bad enough women can't end a pregnancy now in half the country, but the want to stop even preventing a pregnancy? I thought Republicans liked pre-emptive strikes.
1 more year later and they're about to become illegal
@@sgtcreasegrease Christ, let’s hope not.
And who’s to say the Government won’t ban George Carlin’s next?
The 3 names of birth control that were not mentioned here but are on the album are Womb Broom, Kiddy Kill, and Poppa Stopper. 🤣🤣
George smootly steered the conversation to where he could make his point about marijuana as an idea stimulator, a positive take.
Oh how I miss him and his wicked sense of humor we lost a great one when he died .
"I KID you NOT." Haha! Now, that was funny. SN: Did he say that he was 34 here? He looks so much older, I thought he said 44 at first.
1. they probably both subtracted six years.
2. all those cigarettes probably added six years.
GazB85 Dick Cavett said he’s the same age, and he looks much older.
it's all that DOPE
I think Carlin was one of those who just happened to look older proabably genetic I can understand that I feel like when I was 13 I easily could have passed for 17
People were more mature then. Today people in their thirties still watch superhero cartoon films.
This interview shows what a really intelligent and deep thinker this comedic genius was!
He comes across as if like Jesus came back as a stand-up comedian.
Why? Because he had a beard and long hair? How original...
@@__seeker__ Yeah, that'd be why
@@larryfisherman4199 😅😅😆
Idgi
Of course we have very little idea of what he actually looked like. Very few cameras back then.
We’re talking about making the morning after pill available without a prescription now here in the U.K. maybe if Boris sells the NHS to the medical industrial complex we will see this soon on another level
George's brain functioned at a completely different level, genius. RIP
Dick Cavett excellent interviewer of all time.
Jeez when I was 34 I was delivering appliances and getting drunk every weekend with my friends.....
There's a reason why legends are legends......
Intelligent and prophetic..what a legend.
My ALL TIME favourite comedian ❣️
if they don't name the male birth control gel they're developing SON-Block im rioting lol
micheal jackson would have saved some money
Good one!
Ahead of his time, in his time.
Even in 2019 still ahead of his/our time
that's what ahead of his time means jackass
Ahead of his time, before his time, out of time, all the cliches.
@@Hotdogwateryum But he was indeed ahead of his time BEFORE our time.
@Guybrush Threepwood it's pronounced "yo' momma"
Miss You.
All time favorite comedian, brilliant humorist. You are missed George
He was so right on the product names.
I took birth control pills for 25 years, I'm 61 and both my legs are the same length. 😁
Wait another two years.🙂
For now...
Are your arms the same length?? Or are they the same length as your legs?? Some other suggestions of side effects, even though I do think birth control is bad for a woman physically and mentally anyway but don't know of the effect on the limbs
For now😂❤️
Southern Fun I love B&B! Been faithfully watching it since 1997.
Richard Alva Cavett (/ˈkævɪt/; born November 19, 1936) is an American television personality and former talk show host. He appeared regularly on nationally broadcast television in the United States for five decades, from the 1960s through the 2000s.
OMG! The moon mission was saved by a genius on weed. That is legendary.
So there was a time when George Carlin was younger than me. Amazing. Also, he was much ahead of his time to suggest cannabis can be used in constructive ways!
The Dick Cavett show! I hadn't even thought of that in decades. Much less, the episode with George Carlin.
Thanx for the trip through time, it was fun.
Miss George. Great to see him here. Thanks for sharing
Brilliant
Wish he was around in 2019
One of the best interviewers of all time.
I just watched Jimmy Fallon interview one of his guests in the same way Dick Cavett use to"......said NO ONE EVER
Uruguay was first country to completely legalize cannabis.
It was known 50 years ago that cannabis is not harmful and possibly more useful then we could had imagined. Think about that. Says a lot about how this world works in all areas.
As well as Columbia university Carlin use to live a block away from Grants tomb as well at 519 West 121st ST. It's amazing how much that neighborhood is exactly the same as he describes it
George is a time traveler and I'm sick of pretending he's not.
carlin is absolutely right, i used to smoke pot almost daily, when i had it. but i would use it in conjunction with many activities, chores or tasks became easier (and almost fun) to do, my ex-wife would go on a cleaning terror when high...i loved to play sports high, basketball, bowling, ping pong. nobody could beat me when i was high playing "pong". in our little group of course, but focus was more pronounced in physical activities, blocking out distractions was easier. musicians have used it for generations. of course there were many times it was used just to kick back and enjoy a video game or watch t.v.
but as far as being a musician, which i was, i didn't smoke pot when trying to learn a piece, or working on scales or theory. smoking was for the part after the serious study, it was used for the "creative" aspect of writing. thinking outside the lines. but you can't be high while trying to do complex or intricate study, maybe for some people but not me. it's different for every person.
There's a great story by Richard Wright of Pink Floyd about his decision never to smoke pot again. He said he'd had a joint and found himself on stage pressing down a note on his keyboard, not knowing whether he'd been pressing it down just for a few seconds or for the past hour. LOL
@@2bb-2 so i've heard, i don't have access to that world, pot's still illegal in my state and low grade stuff is what most people have. i'd love to get some good hawaiian or thai... it's been a while and i'm showing my age.
@@2bb-2 i've known about the medicinal benefits of thc for sometime now, glycoma, stomach ailments, and cancer, etc. it's a confusing mix from state to state on legalization, the idea we're still putting people in jail for marijuana is insane. (most states still arrest you for casual usage, and the drug war is racist) bernie sanders says he will legalize it once and for all on the federal level, which will supercede any backwards ass state like alabama or tennessee. as if you need another reason to vote for him.
@@2bb-2 exactly, as bernie says, it ain't about him, it's about us.
@@2bb-2 cannibis today is causing a DRASTIC increase in psychiatric emergencies and admissions. Before you go off ranting how good it is READ UP WHAT'S HAPPENING on the downside on pot. This was happening decades ago too there was "good" pot around it was easier to bring the best in. I don't believe all the HYPE today it is far from any magical cure all. Mostly from avid pot smokers and people who have invested PLENTY. So now instead of growing MORE organic vegetables we have acres and acres of pot fields...what a FREAKING WASTE for essentially a brain toxin. Dumb people down even more
I got high with George in the early 70’s, we smoked a joint of homegrown at my house and he played the piano for a few minutes and made a few funny faces. Fun time for me.
You gotta Love Carlin, and Dick for sure. ❤
I just realized he’s hands down my favorite comedian 🤷🏾♂️ Wish i was able to find out about him sooner tbh
Interesting how the crowd laughed when he was talking about the productive things you can do while you're high. It just comes to show how much everyone's knowledge about marijuana has grown over time. If they were having this same conversation today, everyone would be clapping.
There are interesting surveys that found out that the calming effects of marijuana often help lessen the symptoms of ADHD, which is a condition that often makes you be "all over the place".
It especially makes thoughts clearer for a lot of people with ADHD (which is the opposite of what happens in many who don't have the disorder) and it helps them be more productive, just like George Calin described. Likewise, ADHDers often don't find caffeine effective to keep them awake, and I have many friends that will take a coffee or red bull and then take a nap or go to bed.
Who gives a damn how old they look? Two of the funniest smartest people to ever live, for us to watch in 2019, yet half of the comments seem to be about how old they look. Normal looking people not caked in make-up with bright tans and ridiculous "Hollywood" smiles. I wish I had been around to see this show when they originally aired.
this is awesome stuff man, thanks for posting the oldies
Pretty good clips, love watching these types of videos!👌
Tremendous.
This is such a timely segment, remarkable George Carlin.
Thank you for posting!
Back then he was talking about “when” birth control will be over the counter medicine. Now it’s 2022 and we have lawmakers saying they’re literally going to outlaw birth control.
TH-cam recommendations get it right sometimes
Wow, I truly enjoyed this. George Carlin was a pure genius and an interesting guy for sure.
I saw his show in Pittsburgh that year. Unforgettable.
This is what we need a lot more of it today.
In this day and age... WE NEED GEORGE SO MUCH.
HE WAS A SEEER. A MAN WHO SEES THINGS AS THEY ARE.
WE NEED A MAN JUST LIKE HIM TODAY
We've got men like him today. Chappelle, Burr etc.
I really enjoy George, great thoughts and comedy ♥️
Two geniuses discussing the nature of things. Carlin and Cavet are my age in this video. God i need to do something with my life.
George Carlin is/was one of those kinds of people that I love having intelligent, oft times humorous, conversations with. Thinkers are pretty kool. 🤔
Still relevant and still funny. George Carlin was one of the greats!!! =)
"I kid you not" LMAO!!!
Always a Genius, I bet Carlin was smoking dope, he's defending it strongly but making sure not to say that it's what he does. The way he says if you use it from time to time it can certainly have a positive effect on your writing, I feel like a lot of Carlins jokes are inadvertently weed related.
Many, many artists and writers have created while high high on a great many substances.
So true - even today
...solid, yeah...wait, what?
