"When you're born into this world, you're given a ticket to the freak show. If you're born in America you get a front row seat." - George Carlin

The greatest truth teller and observational humorist combination ever.

"Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist." - George Carlin

Carlin was unparalleled with a unique ability to call out humanity for what we really are. His observations are truly timeless.

"Humanity, just another failed mutation." - George Carlin

George Carlin was a genius. He will be missed.

I cant believe the mind of this guy. he can put more words together than any one ive ever heard. What a QUICK mind.Truly amazing.

"Chances are their wearing a different type of hat. Keep an eye on that it might be important" 😂😂😂

"Try to live together peacefully... BAM!" Made me think of Bill hicks who said exactly the same thing 30 years ago

He sure paints a miserable picture of the human condition.I love him👍

As a child I couldn’t understand his humor and never thought he had any talent, now being 45, I think he was brilliant and I wish he was still here. Imagine having him as your grandpa, so awesome.

"semi-civilized beasts". its so true it makes me sad and frightned in the same time

I can't even laugh because of how true this is! R.I.P George.

"Human sacrifice. . . I miss that." 😆😆😆😆😆😆

Great quote about human behavior. 6:44 "Then we wonder why a UFO doesn't just land and say hello."

His "okay?!" after punchlines is so hilarious to me

The comment below nailed it. Carlin was, among many other things, a bone fide "street" philosopher. (the best kind!) He offered all people a way to look at life through the brilliance of his thought. I like philosophy, my father is a philosophy professor (and I love him) but I struggle to like philosophers. Most make life feel like a disciple and only bullshit to their intellectually snobby colleagues from ivory tower to ivory tower. Life is freaking hard as hell. It's complicated beyond all measure. BUT....a lot of it is a big fucking joke. (no offense...I'm more of a joke than anyone!) I had the pleasure of meeting Carlin in a small, empty West LA bookstore. It was a bold move for me to approach him. I was 21 or 22 and figured there was a chance he'd embarrass and reject me. He didn't at all but he was far from offering a cheesy smile and autograph. He put me to the test. When I thanked him for his work, he noted his appreciation but firmly asked, "why thanks." I quickly explained my Uncle died from a particularly painful and debilitating from of cancer. In his last year, all he asked for was tapes/recordings/anything re: George Carlin. There was mostly crying in the last year of my Uncle's life and Carlin brought in the only laughs. He comforted a debilitated sick man looking at an early death. As I sped through my story, Carlin started to lighten up and then started to cry. He gave me an autograph and thanked me on paper for "one of the greatest compliments of my life." I could tell he didn't feel comfortable crying because he turned his head and tried to hide himself. He was observant enough to realize I was young and broke. I wore two different shoes for a year because I couldn't find any combo at the thrift store big enough to fit size 14 feet. After the autograph, I started to walk aways and he grabbed my arm. Then, to my confusion, he opened his wallet and gave me $100. I told him I didn't want money and couldn't/wouldn't take it. In his brilliance, he said, "pretend you're a Mormon and this donation is to leave me the fuck alone." I laughed and he pushed the money in my shirt pocket. I needed it and I know he could spare it. I think Carlin had a drug problem because he couldn't stand to look at life sober. I get it!! If you're a caring celeb, you'll get money and fame but you also view a unique dark side of life. I can only imagine a common guy telling me that I helped his dying Uncle and distraught family through the final year of cancer. I'd fucking fall into pieces. Rest in peace, Mr. Carlin!

A man ahead of his time. I think he was trying to tell us something.

Miss that man. There'll never be another like him

Favorite line: "Hey Jack -- you don't want to get your head cut off? Stay the fuck in Oklahoma!" A simple yet beautiful point that many Americans would probably prefer to ignore.

Every time I get comfortable with life I watch his videos

I could listen to this guy talk for hours

My favorite comedian.

I Love him for his unique ability to put us in our place. Much respect and rest in peace.

This guy was genuine. Died at the height of his genius..

Great bit to select for your list. I love this one too! Carlin never shied away from the darkest aspects of human existence. He deserves massive kudos for that.

"Might as well be, Steve." 😂😂

GOD bless you, George Carlin. My favorite atheist comedian. You are sorely missed.

This masterpiece warms my soul

George Carlin: Life Is Worth Losing is one of his last I bought and gave to my kids so they might learn something.

This man was a genius!!

this guy was a genius in every sense of the word

He was a genius. I wish he was still with us...

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” - J. Krishnamurti

Prehistoric emotions, medieval institutions, and modern weapons. What's our future?

Dark but true. Thanks, George. RIP

He was and still is at the top of the game

0:33 This moment is incredible. The crowd keeps clapping because every single one of them feels the coming joke so rawly and truly.

Carlin lives! No matter how long times fly he’s relevant a GENIUS! I miss this MAN!

His mind sure worked sideways , he was so critical of us all and yet we find it funny as hell .

Legend lives on forever 🙌❤👏RIP George miss you 😢

Confident until the day he died.George Carlin is an icon.

«What we are is semi-civilized beasts with baseball caps and automatic weapons.» Well, I also read this from a french writer some time ago - he obviously refered to Laborit's reptilian brain writing it: «Man is a crocodile who owns the atomic bomb»!

Bro predicted MAGA hats lmaooo

One of the best comedians, rip!

This guy is a genius and sharp as a tack at what? 70+ years.

I love and so miss this brilliant man.

LONG LIVE LATE GREAT GEORGE CARLIN, HE WAS SOMETHING ELSE OVERALL THAT SURELY NOBODY CAN EVER MATCH AS A COMEDIAN & TRULY A FANTASTIC CRITICAL MIND. HEAVEN COULD NOT WAIT FOR HIM MUCH LONGER. R.I.P

I will miss Georges' presence. One of a kind. Brilliant mind.

Thanks George. Miss you terribly!

Finally someone who speaks out my mind about humanity

I ALWAYS liked his comedy.. even as a kid... not knowing much about what he was talking about...lol

He speaks what I was always thinking. Grate!

this is gonna be the first things aliens fully decode :P

literally predicted maga hats

Thank you for sharing Carlin's words of wisdom...

Carlin "The Greatest"!!!!!!

Full of wisdom, mostly sounds like experiance either personally or just by watching.

The best part of George Carlin was that he wasn't afraid to offend someone. He probably be protested for the things he said today. Mr. X

Speaking of death I will never forget the funeral I went to in my 20’s and the husband of his deceased wife began to pull his dead wife out of the coffin because he couldn’t stand to part with her. That’s somewhat heartbreaking but at the time it was the scariest thing I had ever seen. Needless to say I was out of that funeral home like a rocket.

Pure Genius. Nobody got a mind like Carlin's and nobody ever will either. So glad to have seen him live three times for his HBO specials three times.

Well, thinking about the necrophilia bit AND the Luka Rocco Magnotta's trial actually going on, that's enough to make one feel uneasy (to say the least), however hilarious that bit can be. "And then, we wonder why a UFO doesn't just land and say Hello!..."

The realist man who never held back told the truth 💯 the best 💯

“You gotta be all out of beef jerky man, you must be really fucking hungry.” 😂😂😂

"...keep an eye on that. it might be important"-george carlin on our hat-differences.

Carlin was a one-man rock band in his own right.

I love his stage sets, it reminds me of sitcoms.

The level of intelligence one must have to 1. understand and 2. see this as de facto reality is uncanny. And George Carlin had it.

Be the change you want to see in the world. 🌱

Run out of pop tarts 😂😂🤣

Thank you Alienb being for putting this up!!! Brilliant guy!! #justice4brianharvey

A true Comedian. . .

Chimpanzees have been known to have some pretty nasty "wars," some of which involve cannibalism and other things that humans do. One such war was the Gombe War (1974- 1978). Yeah, humans are pretty messed up when you think about it, but we also developed the concept of a peace treaty.

His really dark time....still the best philosopher

This man was the best comedian of all time was the goat #1 🇺🇸 💪🇺🇲

Meta won't let me share GC videos because the truth hurts. I've been listening to and watching this man speak since I was a baby. My parents were big fans of his and collected vinyl. Toledo Window Box has a great cover! My Dad and I always watched his HBO specials together once he started doing them. He opened my eyes to the truth of the world more than any other writer, philosopher or stoic I'd ever studied. Becaue he took all of his own combined life widsom and shared it in a way people would understand and deeply enjoy. It's all the Great and Secret show until the wool gets pulled away from the eyes.

The Fermi paradox explained easily

There was a beheading in oklahoma this week. Reminded me of this skit. Eerie.

😂 Pure genius, speaks the truth! LMFAO! 😂

Brilliant & Hysterical!!

He predicted the MAGA hat situation.....

am I the only one who sees George Carlin playing as Trevor in gta 5 if he were still alive.

this is the best comedy bit of all time

You are my stand up hero.

This is kinda how I see this world

I loved George! Laugh riot and philosophy in the same skit.

1:13 "keep an eye on that it may be important" lol brilliant

George Carlin tells it like it is and he is the best and he will be missed alot thank you

GOT THAT!

Well done man. This is the best stuff from Carlin, intellectually stimulating and awakening while at the same time down to earth funny. We won't see his kind again. That much is certain.

I like the moral question he emphasized correcting that it wasn't rhetorical.

BRILLIANT!

Animals do engage in cannibalism, necrophilia, murder and abuse. Still a funny bit, though.

this is a great retake of Mark Twain's Lowest Animal, or whatever it was called

man he is just in the zone here.. cream of the crux-- such a fascinating, completely on point and hilariously insightful routine

Now I know why aliens avoid the human race😄😄😄😄😄

We are the beasts we worship

Pure GENIUS right here !!! #1CarlinFan

He is the best teacher we could have had Miguelito

Listen and think about this.... You have an oblivious brilliant mind in a man that makes complete sense. Thought we laugh because he’s an entertainer, he makes valid points constantly. I think he would have made a good president. Does that sound nutty? He has compassion and tough love. Too bad he’s gone cause I would’ve voted for him.
