😂I loved his unapologinic style of expressing the truth. I truly loved this man. There will never be another quite like him. Thank you so much Mr Carlin. You are so missed
I love how he kept getting better with age right up to the end. He never stopped getting better and never gave up or gave in.
In 1988 I was doing a public access show in Los Angeles...The Late Mr Pete Show. One night after a show, George Carlin called me at home and told me he didn't know what the F I was doing, but not to stop...George invited me to his home for Christmas dinner, and to Vegas to see him doing his act. 3 yrs later I had my own show on KTLA 5 in L.A. and won an emmy for best host. He saw something in me, and showed me nothing but kindness... Truly a nice, decent man...
well....there you have it .......
@@tadkingsbury79 Yes.
@@tadkingsbury79 Yes.
It is quite remarkable that you have access to this peculiar kind of life TH-cam channel to make a statement that is quite profound. Do you have anything to back that up?.
Christmas dinner, eh? Quite the invite, I must say. Did you save his life w CPR before that?
He’s the GOAT. Undeniable. Irrefutable. The greatest of all time. I’m never one to sit here and miss dead people I didn’t personally know. But Man I truly miss his presence in the world.
I would love to hear his opinion on today's society
I think you'll find that Chris D'Elia is the true GOAT.
@@DudeMan-xs3db I don’t think that I will. He’s great, but nah.
Have to give it to Pryor but close is Carlin.
Indeed he is the GOAT. Well said, there are some really good comedians today. However Carlin was next level more of a philosopher with a great sense of humor.
George was a philosopher; with humour.
George was off the scale..... Pure genius
I'd just say George was simply telling the truth of the world and people. He did it in comic way, but it was and it still is, all truth. Only a lot of people don't have the guts to say it out loud and with class as he did. For that he will always be remembered and loved. Thank you George for speaking for all of us.
I couldn't have said/written it better.
or most peps dont want to listen, cant learn if we dont listen to each other. :0)
I completely agree what he said then is still applied to what goes on Today
😂🎉@@ChristopherONeal-er1cpin no no no no no no no no no 4:45 4:45 4:45
Comic GENIUS!
Thank you for putting this together!!! I love Carlin!
The man had to have one of the most incredible memories of any comic. I saw him do an hour plus without taking a break at three different concerts.
George is everyone's grandpa. He is the grandpa we wish we all had growing up. Rest In Peace LEGEND 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The greatest comic to ever live, and one of the smartest and wittiest man to ever grace the planet
we need a guy like him today,,,but its not going to happen

Him and Robin Williams, the former the greatest writer, the latter the greatest improv comic ever
HB George! You'd be 85 today.
Thank you for sharing your comedic genius.
The greatest comedy sports sketch in the history of the world. George Carlin NAILED IT!
I love how much people love him. He is sorely missed by so many. So happy I knew of him.
You love how much people love him and I don’t love how much I love him. Kevin Hart is way funnier wit like the social commentary and urban spice. Old white fat men with gray rat tail hair are not making the human ha laugh for my spines
@@cafferacer 🤣
@@cafferacer "I don’t love how much I love him"
@@cafferacerso do you like him or not ? The first part you do but you ended it by not so…?
I simply love his mind. Truly unique and refreshing.
I have been re-watching his specials for 15 years every year and never get tired of them.
Yes. You never hear anyone say about his comedy "Oh I've heard that before." We know George's comedy by heart (like Jimmy Buffett 's songs) but we can listen to him tell his jokes over and over and still laugh and enjoy ourselves immensely.
Saw GC in front of small audience about 20 years back shilling his book. My husband got his autograph on one of his album covers. Laugh line that sticks with me is "the main difference between dogs and cats: dogs have eyebrows-- cats don't"! How true !
Quick wit, very funny and super intelligent
I loved his ways of looking at the absurdity of life ,his wit and wisdom.
Since the 1970s, there's never been any doubt that George was the grand Master of standup
I've always considered him the Grand Wizard* of standup
@@keny53 I think the greatest of all time especially how as the older he became, the ability to just churn out hours of new material. Wish he was alive to comment on today’s cancel culture.
We were lucky to have him.
Funny thing is, it's just totally true, especially looking back from today's perspective. He sees things differently, and hopefully it's spreading!
Pryor too.
An absolute wordsmith! Truly the master! Love this guy saw him live twice he was the best
The only comedian i wished i got to see...
@@OkJustAMinute same. He was an influence to everybody. Wordsmith, yes. He was a great writer.
was? even dead he is still the best
I saw Him as well. Carlin On Campus tour. He was Fantastic.
You lucky bastard
God, he was great! From electrical engineer major to writer, comedian and 2 of the best television shows ever. We were lucky to have had him.
A comic philosopher RESPECT
!!!! Well said
Until I saw this, I never thought of football and baseball in this way, I like his explanation.
“You don’t really need me out here do ya?” 😂
Truth.
I love how he was making a mockery of the show because the show is/was such a joke. The formula and the breaks for commercial ads. The money train of the whole braindead thing.
He really just gets more ruthless (and truthful) over the years 🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love George Carlin - we could sure use his wisdom today. I miss him.
Love it. And George Carlin...
The only thing he got wrong was God
George would help us make sense of the present day.
We have his wisdom..study all you can about him..lets pick up were he left off...and repeat his wisdom..we can make a change! Good way too challenge this insanity..in this country! Put a foot in the ass of the socialist!!!!!!!!
He laid it out. Listen. Give up. Too many people on this earth.
A George Carlin only comes around once every 150 years. So smart and sharp and very loyal to his principles.
he was truly a modern diogenes. i wish i got to have a cigarette and a glass of whiskey with the guy before he passed. just a 5 minute talk.
Norm was one.
I think Ricki Gervais and Bill Burr come close
If only he was funny
@@kweaver2459 you must be a liberal..it shows as you cannot understand facts or humor!
Man the music is out standing ! when George shows up
I love George!
first time I saw him making a mistake while talking.... and yet he made it somehow funny and adorable.... I love him so much....
A little Biff. Lost his train of thought for a second. Then he seemed upset that we wouldn't be able to use that take...
He made a mistake during his bit on “time” in 1977.
George Carlin, the prophetic truth teller, so inspired and liberating! Always, ❤❤❤❤❤
Imagine his shows in 2022...miss him.
I would love to hear his thoughts on trump ! RIP GEORGE TRUE AMERICAN 🇺🇸
@@stevemenold6095He would have ripped apart Trump and Biden equally.
I miss him too 😢
It's garbage now. 🗑
I miss that generation 😪
Speaks and tells a story so well. Love to listen to him
George Carlin, Frank Zappa, Richard Pryor...my big influences as a teen.
So funny all the way through...the last few were especially funny...he was one of the all time greats for sure
Rest in peace 🙏
George Carlin

His ability to both connect with the audience but keep it rolling and bringing the showbiz and the swagger and the whole thing. Just glorious.
"I'm busier than a Lesbian in a hardware store"
What a human being , RIP George ;(
LBGQ or whatever or whoever they are would have been classifying George as Public Enemy Number 1! (Not the rap/hip-hop group!)
@@seahawks5725 reading comprehension 0
That line cracked me up and I don't even know what it means. LOL
@@MeloettaMarmalade Stop describing yourself.
He's 100% right.
@@seahawks5725 I would hope that wouldn't be the case. George was a very tolerant and supportive person. He only really targeted authoritarianism, ridiculous trends, and stupidity. And, was funny af, doing it!
Wish he was still here so he could tell us his thoughts about the last few years, miss this genius
If you pay close attention, he was telling us about the last few years. One example, his football baseball skit, safe at home.
@@katevanhouten8440 I think safe at home could be said for every decade
Oh boy Kim !! He would be totally , both shocked and furious about all of the lunatics in charge of the asylum ( a.k.a. govt.) and the gender fluid, pronoun usage forced on "We the People" and if you do not fold or comply, or even just speak as you always have , saying Mr., Mrs., him, her, girl or boy you face actual criminal charges. Non-binary, woke and more and more crap. This is pseudo science. It is dangerous and the agenda is to divide us citizens and remove anything they deem a threat to their agenda, and there we have the white hate and Alpha male hate, because we WILL pick up our "tools" and accessories and fight it all. That rainbow flag does nothing but say, "you are not welcome or wanted". And they claim to be all love and acceptance. We are called Nazi fascists, yet we fought a war for four years and died by the thousands daily against real Nazi`s who would murder every one of those people. They have freedom to act this way because men paid the price in blood in combat to have these rights. Who is the real fascists? I am sorry, but your comment was simple and yet it was brilliant in thought. What would George say?? A whole lot is my feeling. Take care and I wish you well, again I am sorry I got a bit heated.
He'd just say it's a Hell of wreck walk away from it 😅
He’s absolutely glad he’s not here to see this. He knew what was coming and knew it wasn’t going to pretty and he straight out told everyone. The system can’t continue to be run this way. Capitalism is for the rich only but we’re told it’s the best system. Who tells us that ? Maybe billionaires huh?
My favorite hands down. Sad loss for humanity when he died.
David Letterman could appreciate another great comedian as well as any great comedian ever. That's exactly how you end up being great yourself.
27 years ago. Missed all of these evenings with Dave and Co. Comforting to see that it was recorded and filed in some comedy library for us busy people. 😅
Funny he died 24 years ago I miss him
We all need more humor like this in our life
Unfortunately comedy is almost cancelled 😞
A comedian who I would invite to the cookout every time. Truly funny without having force a laugh. I could be in the ocean drowning with him and he would still make me laugh.
The great master of common sense comedy!!!! I've been watching George Carlin since I was a kid, and I've learned so much from him. I've learned to not let things bother me because I can find humor where in everything! He is a greatly missed master. 👏👏
Greatest comedian ever,My brother in law had all his LPs.Never got tired of listening to him.He never holds back.I wish he was still here,shine what he would have to say about 2022.
stoned.
George is a master at his work so relatable and good that he is accepted all the way down the line ... from everyone to everything he nails it ... I guess genius is not out of order ...but it certainly fills up his resume !!!
Boy, miss you George!
-in the 70's, comedy albums were big - like music albums - there were 2 wildly popular albums at the time - the Cheech and Chong album, and the George Carlin album - the Cheech and Chong album was absolutely hilarious, and the George Carlin album was, believe it or not, even funnier - like, genius-level hilarious - it made me laugh so hard, my stomach muscles got all torn up, and were killin' me all day the next day !!! we would listen to those albums the same way you'd listen to a music album - over and over and over again, and they never stopped bein' funny
Yea George was my hero and then I learned some words -seven of them- that almost got me expelled. I also grew up with comedy albums in the 70’s and before with Tom Lehrer. There used to be comedy albums that would take bits of popular songs of the day and make them funny. Breakfast with the baloneys was also a favorite (and seriously dating myself. Lol) Rip George. You have to wonder if he’s seriously pissed off God by now. ;-)
Never saw George live but he was so good. Saw his transformation from the Burns and Carlin era to his stand up suit comedian then onto the college circuit and then HBO. Pure genius. Saw Cheech and Chong in the very early days when they played in Vancouver in a topless revue they called Vancouver City Works. It was held in a topless bar that was trying to appeal to the raincoat bunch and the dopers. The bar was owned by Tommy Chong’s dad who had a reputation that may have been deserved or not. They were developing the doper skits that the became famous for and I think was recorded in an album called Big Bamboo. They deserved to succeed as hey stuck with it. I remember there might have been a crowd of less than ten in the audience. Ah those were the days
WINDOW BOX
@@matthewotremba9230 is it a window in a box or a box with a little miniature window in it?
Wedding album ...occupation foole and class clown
In 1978 or so George Carlin wandered into my father's bookstore in Westlake Village, California.
I absolutely knew who he was (I was like 16 or 17 at the time). I worked at my father's bookstore at this time. Of course, I *wasn't* working when he came in. Would've LOVED to have met him.
Maureen McCormick ('Marcia' from 'The Brady Bunch') also wandered in sometime. I was not working then, either! Would've LOVED to have met her. The two famous people that came in when I was working were Robert Young (from 'Father Knows Best' and 'Marcus Welby, M.D.') and Mickey Rooney. It was very nice meeting both of them.
I would have shown him The Great Reset Alex Jones and both are Right 😂.
Genius, I had the pleasure of being right in the front at the famous 'Back in Town' HBO special at the Beacon theater November 1996. One of his best shows ever!!!
So many cool little anecdotes and stories from all these old talk show interviews. Thanks to everybody who put effort into preserving so much.
Carlin on spot visits to Letterman is funnier than so many comedians. GOAT
He was & still is a legend!
Glad we had George ! 🍃❣️🍃
This is flat out brilliant!👍☝️☮️
I love this man. Rest easy Sir George
His Sullivan impression is amazing.
Carlen is definitely pro love this one very funny how he does it up there with Jack Benny.Benny my 🎉favorite .
'I saw another bumper sticker it says I have a son in public school and he hasn't been shot yet.'
Carlin was great. Loved how he could call bullshit on anyone/ anything and make us all lol about our dire predicament.
I saw him live at painters Mill music Fair in Baltimore in the '70s twice he was absolutely fantastic I had all his comedy albums I now have always books and yes I do miss him very much he was the only best, ever never funny or very intelligent man. Funniest person alive he could he could find a joke he wrote about everything and made it all funny whether it's good or bad love him very much miss him too
I loved all that about him too.
I saw him live twice….I laughed so hard people were concerned about me
George Carlin - absolutely the best ever!
"Right at the moment of conception, my parents fell off the car"
When Dave said “You don’t really need me out here do you”George hit some of that good s**t in the back.
Thanks for putting these together, Don!
Love and miss you, George!💞🇺🇸👍✌
I loved watching this because you can see George become darker and darker as the years went on. My favorite timeframe of George is 1992 until his death. But especially 2001-2008.
1996 was his best album.
@@juanmonge7418 My favorite is “Life is worth Losing.”
It’s all bull shit folks and it’s bad for you..
THE GOAT & Greatest comedian ever!!! RIP my man... we miss your genius... !!👍🏻👍🏻😂😂
You’ve obviously never seen Billy Connolly!
His perspective about life and world blows my mind
I don't always agree with everything he said, but even then, it made sense, backed by rock solid logic
George was one of a kind he will be missed but remembered
This man needs to be described by one word brilliant, i miss his brilliance
George was the Godfather of Modern Standup Comedy--nobody more influential or better at it & he did his best work in the last 15yrs of his life. And looking at 2021, he was also a f*cking Nostradamus. "Joe" Bless You George...you are missed.
Thanks for this post.
Great work.
R.I.P. George.
Thanks so much for putting this together.
Wheather you agree with his analogies or not, he makes you think about them in a different way. And he always delivers on humor & keeps us laughing the entire time! Thanks for all the unique stories, making us think about life in a we probably wouldn't have & the never ending laughter we all need in our lives. Again, thanks in a big way George Carlin!!!
Uncle George helped me
I'm still alive.
Thank you George
So glad this is saved for us to see
Oh cool. Carlin!.thanks for sharing buddy.
I always loved George Carlin & I miss him greatly.
Clever. George could write some interesting stuff ❤️
But not funny
He's my mentor !!!! Legend. . .
He was a big influence in my life...not as a comedian...however as. A man with great insight...and as a man that had great integrity...a honest man not only too the world...Also true too his own self!
Totally agree. In high school I used to find myself using his ideas because they were just so insightful. I wore "Class Clown" and "Occupation Foole" out in vynil and fake quoted them in book reports and stuff. I borrowed from him the fake quotation. I got several "A"s by referring to the British Colinial Shipping Board (which did not exist and so I could quote saying anything). Other times I followed his example of selecting to my own criteria. What's a teacher with 30 of these things to grade in one night gonna do, research? 😇 Confidence, baby. 😁
*to
He was socratic
Genius!
Imagine his commentary today with what's happening in our Country!!!
UFB!!!
Wish he was here!
Greatly missed!!!
I have never laughed so much in my life George Carlin is so great and thank you for putting this content out with all these different clips and oh my God it's so funny and I'm going to use so many of these jokes at work.
The greatest! Without question.
Love this man, i even did his sketch for my collection as a male role model which is hard to find anymore
As per the comments of repeat stand up, I am OK with that. It was never verbatim repeat. He was always tweaking the material and almost always making it better. A lot of great stuff here. The only odd appearance was the 1998 super hyper stand up. It's followed by the classic accident stand up. It has to be remembered that George was limited in material to network standards and practices, much of his HBO stuff would never get through. Dave was maybe the only one I know of who actually expressed sympathy on the death of George's wife to him publicly. George expressed an appreciation for Dave's off the cuff comments with genuine smiles and handshakes. There was a mutual admiration that shows through many times. Too bad he didn't appear after 2001 (A great appearance, probably the best one here) it would have definitely been more great network TV. Thanks Don.
George is a Master !!!
Great camera shot at 28:10.
Man, you can tell Dave was so much happier in 1994 than in later years.
these every appearance complations are the best! i would love to see the Chris Farley
Definitely the brightest minds in comedy, teller of truths, sadly missed
First clean monologue I’ve heard Carlin perform. He can perform and be funny without nasty language. Although, even his foul language is hilarious.
DAMN IT!! I MISS GEORGE CARLIN!! R.I.P
Cool to hear the band doing Tower of Power's funk classic 'What Is Hip' for George's play-on music in the first segment.
I honestly wish I can be in Carlin's head just to see all the things that he thinks about!! An absolute genius!
George Carlin was brilliant in speaking truth to power through humour and calling out the US Empire and US imperialism. No comedian comes close.
"...so busy, sleeping and eating pork chops." Me, screaming with laughter.
Perhaps the funniest comic ever so real.
LUV LUV GEORGE !! WHAT A GIFTED MAN OF COMEDY ! SADLY WILL BE MISSED FOREVER ! WE NEED HIM MORE THAN EVER !! RIP

Oh wow. 4 days after i was born.
I was just in time for this!
2 girls havin a chat....how sweet !
"Always stick to your strength."
George is like the Beatles of comedy, evolved in the lsd world and is still here !
Yes, and both hated by religious conservatives as they tried to censor both Carlin and the Beatles
RIP "George" who was the best - funnier than other comics w/ his own very unique brand....
George was and still is a role model from my early teens to this very moment. I relate to him like a real brother. G0D bless his soul always (even though he'd give me some shit about that probably ... but maybe not since he'd be arguing against himself at that point! And he is big enough to say when he makes a mistake which is what a REAL ROLE MODEL DOES. THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH regardless of where it comes from. "I see said the blind man as he picked up a hammer and saw." (I don't know the source of that saying.) Long Live George and his wisdom!!!
He was the best comedian of all time. Because he talked about everyday things that everyone could relate to!! Hands down, the Best!!
