Of Course George Wanted To Make Us Laugh,, BUT,, What He Wanted Even More Was To Make Us Think..R.I.P. George..Thanks For ALL You Gave Us..Gone But Definitely Not Forgotten.🙏❤
@@fuzzybits410 Plenty of videos with God’s people talking about him and spreading his word. You evidently don’t want to hear it, but that’s your prerogative. God gives you free will to choose who or what you listen too. I choose to listen and follow him. That’s why I shut the video down. I don’t normally shut down Brad & Lex’s stuff, but this one I did. ♥️🙏🏼🇺🇸♥️
Joe Pesci has done some great mobster characters. He plays a great mobster (Goodfellas, Casino) and yet is a great comedic actor (Home Alone, My Cousin Vinnie.)
My Dad was always a George fan from the 70's. Took him to the George Carlin show in Detroit at the Fox theater about 2000. George was prepping for his next HBO special, so not all of the jokes were finished. At the beginning of the show, George says something like, "Not all of these jokes are good. I'm prepping for the HBO Special. You're my guinea pigs to see if this shit is funny." Everyone laughed. My Dad most of all. Great show, he went on for 2-2 1/2 hours straight without a break. We were all happy to be his guinea pigs.
Carlin was a great educator. His books are amazing. His intelligence and use of the English language are truly amazing and taught me so much, far more than school could with English Comprehension.
Glad you guys weren't offended by this! It must be pretty tough for avid religious folks to hear! One time I was in a card game and one of the people prayed to God to give them a good hand. I said, "Doesn't God have better things to do than worry about you winning at cards?".....she said, "Oh no, you can pray about anything at all!" That flabbergasted me; seems pretty selfish. ??
Ain't it great that Patriots fans get their prayers answered more often than children of pedophile parents? I guess their god's plan includes tons and tons of child rape for some reason. That would explain why Vatican City has the lowest age of consent in the world...
At a young age I felt that religion was just so people could go and dress up and act like someone other than who they really were on Sunday at church. Needless to say, my parents stop taking me to church because I asked all of the wrong questions. I always felt like an outsider until I heard Carlin and then I realized, I was not alone.
You may feel as though it's too late at this point, but I know better, God has saved and revealed himself powerfully to some incredibly staunch unbelievers. That's a good starting point right there, how do you think a person with a strong worldview that there is no God one day just come to know that he is? Obviously, there is not an answer for everything, but I have no doubt many of your questions do have answers. Unfortunately there are many religious people who just go through religious motions that don't, and turn people like yourself away. God lS, and he is good. If you would care to, I would like to try to answer a question or two you may have... But would it matter? Are you objective enough to sincerely consider the other side of the coin, or pre-programmed like Carlin to reject all evidence for God, and make fun of him instead?
@@johnboehmer6683 Actually, I'm not here to mock religion and people who believe it but, I've tried being objective. I do not need to keep debating something that I no longer see any proof of. It's okay if you choose to believe as it is if, I choose to not.
@@micahjoelgeimer4215 Hey Micah, why do you demand proof? Are you not aware that God has chosen to conceal proof of his existence to any except those who want him, or are at least willing to diligently seek him? Until the chocolate frog was discovered in the Amazon just a few months ago, it didn't exist to the world. Not a shred of evidence it existed, much less proof. Not one person could attest to its existence...yet it did. For God, there are millions of people who will attest not just believe, but to supernatural workings attributed to him - evidence. In addition to this testimony, many scientific, historical, archaeological, and philosophical evidences for God. Millions of people as hardcore unbelieving as you and more, one day becoming staunch born-again believers...how exactly does that happen? They demanded the proof, and followed the evidence just like you're doing. Placing their faith in erroneous, fallible people just because they wear a lab coat and tell them things that can bolster their anti-God worldview. Everything I'm saying here is incontrovertible, no need to send links. God revealed himself to me in 2000, I can break that down for you if you like. Must revelation come in the form of sight exclusively? So everything ceases to exist to the person who goes blind?
My girlfriend’s dad was an avid fan. His one regret in life was skipping out on carlins very last show thinking he could just go to the next one. Carlin died the before his next show.
George Carlin's skits always picked up my spirits when I was in a rut. The other great comedian who had me in stitches all the time was Robbin Williams.
RIP A LEGEND GEORGE CARLIN!! GOD BLESS HIS SOUL!! I watched so many of his stand-up shows on Prime Video! With every word he said I laughed soo hard! He made my day 100 times better!
I just read George Carlins autobiography called Last Words. It was very introspective. He looks at his own life with the same humor he uses in his comedy. He was an amazing man. I highly recommend it.
Can you guys imagine if someone in the audience had a stroke or heart attack when he said "May you strike this audience dead? How awesome would that have been? LOL Been a fan of his since I was a kid, I'm 56 now and miss this man so much. George woulda had a field day with this world we live in now. My folks were into George in a major way, my Dad would have his album within days of it coming out. Anytime George would hit anywhere near us we'd be there, it's even better actually being there and watching him work his magic. As I grew up I did the same thing and the records evolved into cassettes, then into VCR videos, to the HBO specials. I watched his material evolve and mature over the years and noticed his growing fascination and disgust with the world grow and grow. There are funnier comics out there but no one comes close to the sheer brilliance of this man who could entertain you and make you laugh but have you thinking AND WAKING UP TO THINGS AT THE SAME TIME. I've always thought of him as the funniest professor you've ever heard of giving a lecture on life. RIP George, the world is a little darker without you. Peace

We all create and embrace "fictions" that have practical value for us. The thing about fiction is it can't be proved. Consequently, the theist's belief in the existence of a diety as characterized in the bible or Koran cannot be proved, nor can the atheist's belief (i.e., fiction) that we inhabit a Godless universe. Whether it's George Carlin or Mark twain, the historical fact is that atheists have committed as many crimes against humanity as theists and is every bit as irrational.
Mark Twain also said, “I think the goodness, the justice, and the mercy of God are manifested in His works: I perceive that they are manifested toward me in this life; the logical conclusion is that they will be manifested toward me in the life to come, if there should be one.” So much for Twain the athiest.
@@spikehyzer2323 Many logicians far more intelligent than you (or I)-Acquinas-to name one would differ.

The claimed perception of a diety during a mystical experience is no less substantial than your logic, which is fatally flawed by the cognitive error of generalization. You make an affirmative claim: the singular value of religion is exploitation of others. That claim requires as much proof as belief in the resurrection.
@@andredarin8966 Twain was a lot like Thomas Jefferson, or in modern terms, Jordan Peterson... They worked both sides of the aisle, depending on their audience.
Having had religion in my early life , then being curious about all different religions and going to different churches, Temple and Masjid then travelling the world - I have become an atheist. No more people have been murdered or abused across the ages, than in the name of power and cruelty disguised within the excuse of religion
George is a comedy icon because I think intelligent humour is one of the only ways in which people are willing to listen to differing opinions of divisive issues. And George is all about devisive issues. He was a very successful mainstream comedian on the JOHNNY CARSON show often. At one point he decided that wasn’t the way he wanted to present himself so he started to perform at coffee houses and Universities and developed a style of comedy that confronted the establishment on many controversial issues. In the process alienating many mainstream prime time media. DUMB AMERICANS is one to see. Now the first part is quite hard on overweight people. It’s tough but his point of out of control consumption is a valid point. The second half is Pure Gold.
George wasn't just a comedian he was a philosopher He also has some very classic bits like "snot-the original rubber cement", "hippy dippy weatherman", and the "original dirty words".
Most philosophical joke he told IMO: Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be. So true!
@@mattbarton3757 How do I know what? That Carlin is wrong? He's a clever guy, and all he is doing in this part of his show is reframing the philosophical 'problem of evil' as comedy. (The problem of evil is often used to defend the claim there can't be a good and all-powerful God because there's so much evil in the world, etc.) With comedy as his goal and an audience listening who only wants to be entertained, he doesn't have to live up to rigorous criticism of his views, nor does he have to be philosophically precise in his statement of his position. He just blurts out, in a very confident and entertaining way, the objection to faith like it is obviously the case, making religion and theism "obviously BS". In such a context, his arguments never seriously address the hard questions about evil, the nature of God, what value evil could have in a world where God is still good and allows/ordains evil, and so on. Meanwhile, while Carlin can get away with basically amateur and bad philosophy on a stage for the masses, in environments where the problem of evil _is_ rigorously discussed, especially in academic philosophy, even atheist philosophers have widely conceded that the problem of evil is _not_ a logical problem. That is, they have widely conceded there are no contradictions involved in claiming that a good God can co-exist in a world with evil. Instead, the problem of evil is a different type of problem, most commonly taken to be a _psychological_ problem. In other words, the problem of evil gives expression to the idea that it practically difficult for many people to believe in God because _people have a hard time psychologically coping with the existence of a God that allows evil_ . But, psychological problems like this are not philosophical arguments, and they do not track truth. People can be bothered by the facts. Instead, such arguments track emotions or psychological 'yuck' factors, etc. It is basically like a child whining that they don't like something because they find it offensive. And, so, the real problem with Carlin here is that he's really just bitching about a God he doesn't like, and that has nothing to do with whether that God exists. And any competent Christian thinker will recognize this in about 30 seconds. I enjoy Carlin's comedy as a general rule. I prefer Bill Burr, but Carlin is one of my favorites. He's just wrong here, and his arguments don't work. 🤷♂ Nothing that Christians should get butt-hurt over or bothered by. I've watched this dozens of times, and, since I'm trained in philosophy and have read the literature, I know that the responses aren't that hard to come up with. Carlin's an expert comedian; an amateur philosopher.
I was in the concert biz, production, back in the day. In the 80s I did 2 shows with him, acting stage manager. The shows were about a 2 hour drive apart. After the 1st show I loaded up the stool for the stage prop in my car trunk. Drove to the next gig. Did the "load in" of the stool then the dressing room setup. That was just a deli tray & some cold beverages. All I had to do at that point was give him stage calls. At the end of the show I loaded out my bar stool and drove home. He took off for someplace else. After working with a lot of rock bands he was a pleasure.Great guy, no muss no fuss. Easy Peasy ;0)
George loved language. He would memorize his stand up because the rhythm of the words was important to him. You know I leave sometimes political comments to you guys, in case you are wondering both George and Burr have left leanings 😉 and I am so glad you like them both 🥰
George Carlin was the most perfectionist American stand-up comedian. Before he went on tour he worked at least a year on both his routine (which was brand-new) and his choreography. Then, at the end of the tour, he carefully edited an hour long version of his show for HBO knowing that he'd never use the material again. Listen to Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Maher, Chris Rock and other famous comedians talk about how much they were in awe of Carlin.
Carlin had it right about prayer. In the Book of Matthew (my favorite), Jesus tells his followers not to bother asking God for stuff. "He already knows what you need," Jesus says. "When you pray, just go in your closet and close the door (don't be like those obnoxious hypocrites who pray loudly on street corners and in the synagogue)." Then he gives them 'The Lord's Prayer,' which basically says "OK, God, do your thing. I'm good."
Well now you have to see goodfellas so you know the Joe Pesci he was talking about. Also, Carlin is spot on in this, the idea of a god is superannuated in the age of reason.
@LTS 69 As a Christian I'm hoping he made it to heaven, and realizes how wrong he was. He definitely doesn't belong in he'll, He was never a mean spirited person.
@@lts6961 And of course you have solid proof that is in fact true? What evidence do you have for your claim? Not to mention the fact that you find it hilarious that he's burning in hell. You must be a true religious person. The problem is that religion is for people lacking self-confidence. They need that extra support because they don't think they are strong enough to face problems. The perfect victims for institutions like the church. Indoctrination and power.
Yes George makes u think ...lol ..this was his goal and he got thru to us thru humor . The best of the best !!! Question EVERYTHING was what he wanted us to do .
Joe Pesci is an actor who appeared in Lethal Weapon, My Cousin Vinny, Goodfellas, Home Alone 1 & 2, Raging Bull & Casino. And most recently The Irishman. Great actor.
Fantastic reaction! Its nice to see ppl who love humor! Usually ppl watch this and get triggered and or start defending god and faith which is missing the point of this Yes it makes you think but it's also the funny ramblings of the greatest comedian philosopher we've ever had😍💖
He's got a great 16 minutes on airlines and flying at "George Carlin - Flying [Live from NYC '92]" Also, "On some cultural issues" and "Saving The Planet" are excellent.
I love when people look at each other and shrug "Idk who Joe Pesci is" rofl. My Cousin Vinnie, Goodfellas, Casino, Home Alone, 8 Heads in a duffel bag all these classics
Joe Pesci played Vinnie in My Cousin Vinnie & in many mobster movies. George was great. He was a great philosopher & comedian. I had a honor of seeing him in person.
I remember when I was growing up my parents used to declare “When a Christian prays watch out, because prayer is powerful. The prayers of a Christian can move mountains”. But then I would say “But if prayer is so powerful than how come every time we pray for something to happen it almost never does?”. And of course that when they would respond with a sea of excuses like: Well it wasn’t in Gods will, or we must have prayed with the wrong motives, or we didn’t have enough faith, or the lord works in mysterious ways, or maybe god will answer that prayer in another way then we asked. And all the while I’m like you can’t call something powerful if it rarely works and when it does work it’s almost always underwhelming.

Twain was a lot like Thomas Jefferson, or in modern terms, Jordan Peterson... They worked both sides of the aisle, depending on their audience.
He was “Mr. Conductor“ on “Shining Time Station” & the narrator on “Thomas & Friends” both kids shows on PBS
Another, quintessential Carlin bit, is his "10 Commandments" stand up!
The only other time I've seen Brad smile this much is when he's was eating Wagyu steak😜
Having had religion in my early life , then being curious about all different religions and going to different churches, Temple and Masjid then travelling the world - I have become an atheist. No more people have been murdered or abused across the ages, than in the name of power and cruelty disguised within the excuse of religion
Try Mao's great leap forward...
George is a comedy icon because I think intelligent humour is one of the only ways in which people are willing to listen to differing opinions of divisive issues. And George is all about devisive issues. He was a very successful mainstream comedian on the JOHNNY CARSON show often. At one point he decided that wasn’t the way he wanted to present himself so he started to perform at coffee houses and Universities and developed a style of comedy that confronted the establishment on many controversial issues. In the process alienating many mainstream prime time media. DUMB AMERICANS is one to see. Now the first part is quite hard on overweight people. It’s tough but his point of out of control consumption is a valid point. The second half is Pure Gold.
No one could explain life any better than Carlin...
Love this sketch pure class rip George you left us with a real eye opener Dublin ireland
Something a little sad by so many people now not knowing who Joe Pesci is. Legend
Or the Ice Capades!
Loved your reaction! More George!!!! Seattle sending all of the love to you all. 💜♥️💜
George wasn't just a comedian he was a philosopher He also has some very classic bits like "snot-the original rubber cement", "hippy dippy weatherman", and the "original dirty words".
Most philosophical joke he told IMO: Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty.
I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be. So true!
Joe Pesci was in the audience when that HBO special was filmed. George pointed to him at the end
Carlin was the GOAT. He told the truth and couldn’t care less if he offended anyone. He called it out on everyone and everything.😂
I hope you react to more George Carlin. He had a lot of brilliant social commentary stand up routines with no apologies. One of the best.
I was fortunate enough to see him in concert @ WVU in Morgantown, WV in the mid-1980s. Laughed so hard so often it was tough to breathe.
I wish I could get all my religious friends to watch this. George is speaking truth.
You should ask your religious friends to explain all the ways in which George is wrong. Because he's non-stop wrong.
@@solojohno1 Of course he is. lol
@@solojohno1 how do you know? Explain
@@mattbarton3757 How do I know what? That Carlin is wrong? He's a clever guy, and all he is doing in this part of his show is reframing the philosophical 'problem of evil' as comedy. (The problem of evil is often used to defend the claim there can't be a good and all-powerful God because there's so much evil in the world, etc.)
With comedy as his goal and an audience listening who only wants to be entertained, he doesn't have to live up to rigorous criticism of his views, nor does he have to be philosophically precise in his statement of his position. He just blurts out, in a very confident and entertaining way, the objection to faith like it is obviously the case, making religion and theism "obviously BS". In such a context, his arguments never seriously address the hard questions about evil, the nature of God, what value evil could have in a world where God is still good and allows/ordains evil, and so on.
Meanwhile, while Carlin can get away with basically amateur and bad philosophy on a stage for the masses, in environments where the problem of evil _is_ rigorously discussed, especially in academic philosophy, even atheist philosophers have widely conceded that the problem of evil is _not_ a logical problem. That is, they have widely conceded there are no contradictions involved in claiming that a good God can co-exist in a world with evil. Instead, the problem of evil is a different type of problem, most commonly taken to be a _psychological_ problem. In other words, the problem of evil gives expression to the idea that it practically difficult for many people to believe in God because _people have a hard time psychologically coping with the existence of a God that allows evil_ . But, psychological problems like this are not philosophical arguments, and they do not track truth. People can be bothered by the facts. Instead, such arguments track emotions or psychological 'yuck' factors, etc. It is basically like a child whining that they don't like something because they find it offensive. And, so, the real problem with Carlin here is that he's really just bitching about a God he doesn't like, and that has nothing to do with whether that God exists. And any competent Christian thinker will recognize this in about 30 seconds. I enjoy Carlin's comedy as a general rule. I prefer Bill Burr, but Carlin is one of my favorites. He's just wrong here, and his arguments don't work. 🤷♂ Nothing that Christians should get butt-hurt over or bothered by. I've watched this dozens of times, and, since I'm trained in philosophy and have read the literature, I know that the responses aren't that hard to come up with. Carlin's an expert comedian; an amateur philosopher.
@@solojohno1 I agree with what Carlin is saying. You're trying to overcomplicate it to justify the way you feel. I also believe in logic.
I was in the concert biz, production, back in the day. In the 80s I did 2 shows with him, acting stage manager. The shows were about a 2 hour drive apart. After the 1st show I loaded up the stool for the stage prop in my car trunk. Drove to the next gig. Did the "load in" of the stool then the dressing room setup. That was just a deli tray & some cold beverages. All I had to do at that point was give him stage calls. At the end of the show I loaded out my bar stool and drove home. He took off for someplace else. After working with a lot of rock bands he was a pleasure.Great guy, no muss no fuss. Easy Peasy ;0)
George loved language. He would memorize his stand up because the rhythm of the words was important to him.
You know I leave sometimes political comments to you guys, in case you are wondering both George and Burr have left leanings 😉 and I am so glad you like them both 🥰
His father was in radio so that makes sense.
This fool was my storyteller when I was young. He had a new HBO special every year. 🤣
"Who's the really fast asshole in this group up ahead?" I've still got some of them memorized 😄

This reaction made me like you 2 even more. Love your honest reations!!
"there's a girl named Lex" < this part was really cute :) 🤘💖🙌
It's hilarious because George speaks the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
This reaction was a true Blessing! Loved seeing you two laughing your butts off - especially Brad.
George Carlin was the most perfectionist American stand-up comedian. Before he went on tour he worked at least a year on both his routine (which was brand-new) and his choreography. Then, at the end of the tour, he carefully edited an hour long version of his show for HBO knowing that he'd never use the material again. Listen to Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Maher, Chris Rock and other famous comedians talk about how much they were in awe of Carlin.
Oh, my god. You two didn't know who was Joe Pesc isi. LOL. HILARIOUS!!!!!
It's not that edgy, it's just that some people have convinced themselves that believing nonsense for a long time has leant that nonsense credibility.
Carlin had it right about prayer. In the Book of Matthew (my favorite), Jesus tells his followers not to bother asking God for stuff. "He already knows what you need," Jesus says. "When you pray, just go in your closet and close the door (don't be like those obnoxious hypocrites who pray loudly on street corners and in the synagogue)." Then he gives them 'The Lord's Prayer,' which basically says "OK, God, do your thing. I'm good."
Well now you have to see goodfellas so you know the Joe Pesci he was talking about.
Also, Carlin is spot on in this, the idea of a god is superannuated in the age of reason.
Grandpa Carlin storytelling to his grandkids about religion...... that would be epic ^_^
His incredible intelligence is what made him so damn funny. Everything he says actually makes sense.
I love seeing yall get into comedy reactions.. Keep it up! 😆
I wonder what he would have to say today if he was still alive. George Carlin is hilarious. He makes you think
"Was" Hilarious, before he became bitter in his older years as a comic.
Love you two plus Carlin....
I'm a Christian and I find this HILARIOUS. Love George Carlin.
@LTS 69 As a Christian I'm hoping he made it to heaven, and realizes how wrong he was. He definitely doesn't belong in he'll, He was never a mean spirited person.
@LTS 69 I think you should read my comment again because nowhere did I mention That hes going to heaven.
@@lts6961 And of course you have solid proof that is in fact true? What evidence do you have for your claim?
Not to mention the fact that you find it hilarious that he's burning in hell. You must be a true religious person.
The problem is that religion is for people lacking self-confidence. They need that extra support because they don't think they are strong enough to face problems. The perfect victims for institutions like the church. Indoctrination and power.
Same here. Have you read his book When will Jesus bring the porkchops?
Carlin was a genius stand up
Pretty sure this is my favorite stand up bit of all time. Just perfect.
I love this routine and the way he ends it with "Joe Bless You."
A great stand up routine by the master.
Homie it's so refreshing to see you realizin' how lucky you is.😂
His mother was also hysterical - We lived in the same building where he grew up.
Yes George makes u think ...lol ..this was his goal and he got thru to us thru humor . The best of the best !!! Question EVERYTHING was what he wanted us to do .
Joe Pesci is an actor who appeared in Lethal Weapon, My Cousin Vinny, Goodfellas, Home Alone 1 & 2, Raging Bull & Casino. And most recently The Irishman. Great actor.
Hilarious (you guys)!! Great reaction!
Love ur comedy reaction s Brad and Lex u are awesome beautiful people ❤️
“Stop simpin’. “ - for real! Brad knows what’s up.
Fantastic reaction!
Its nice to see ppl who love humor! Usually ppl watch this and get triggered and or start defending god and faith which is missing the point of this
Yes it makes you think but it's also the funny ramblings of the greatest comedian philosopher we've ever had😍💖
He's got a great 16 minutes on airlines and flying at "George Carlin - Flying [Live from NYC '92]" Also, "On some cultural issues" and "Saving The Planet" are excellent.
The World misses George Carlin right now!! He’s bar none, the greatest Comedian of all time!!
All time smartest comedian! I'm glad when people appreciate him instead of getting offended :)
George was GREAT. He would beat you over the head with commonsense. He used your logic against. And yes, some of the best delivery ever
Carlin was a bad ass! So glad you guys started reacting to his stuff.
More george carlin please!! Thanks for the great reaction!
I love when people look at each other and shrug "Idk who Joe Pesci is" rofl. My Cousin Vinnie, Goodfellas, Casino, Home Alone, 8 Heads in a duffel bag all these classics
Among many other things, George Carlin was Ruffus in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and did the narration in many Thomas The Tank Engine episodes.
Joe Pesci played Vinnie in My Cousin Vinnie & in many mobster movies. George was great. He was a great philosopher & comedian. I had a honor of seeing him in person.
Brilliant points on religion (of course it's brilliant, it's Carlin). "But he loves you! And he needs MONEY!!!"
I remember when I was growing up my parents used to declare “When a Christian prays watch out, because prayer is powerful. The prayers of a Christian can move mountains”. But then I would say “But if prayer is so powerful than how come every time we pray for something to happen it almost never does?”. And of course that when they would respond with a sea of excuses like: Well it wasn’t in Gods will, or we must have prayed with the wrong motives, or we didn’t have enough faith, or the lord works in mysterious ways, or maybe god will answer that prayer in another way then we asked. And all the while I’m like you can’t call something powerful if it rarely works and when it does work it’s almost always underwhelming.
I would recommend The Loophole by Gaefunkel & Oates! Another interesting perspective on religion!
EVERY one of his stand-ups are hilarious
Joe Pecie...is the little sidekick in the Lethal Weapon movies
One of the most thought provoking comedians in the history of comedy.
He's brilliant because he makes people think and laugh.
I love your video so so much 😭😭💜💜💜💜 please please continue ❤️❤️❤️ you are one of the best TH-cam channel i seen 🌸🌸🌸vyou are perfect with each other 👑👑😍😍
This routine is probably why George Carlin was cast as the very pious Cardinal Glick in the movie Dogma.
