he was a wordsmith. these guys are as talented as today's mumble rappers. no one fucking cares what they have to say.

But he's still not funny

@@andrewdelaney1448 its a good thing nobody cares what you think

@@thagoff _Apparently you do…_

All the more reason why it sucked so hard.

Pryor was that guy. Even Carlin's favorite.

@@Reezer83 nope. both were. as far as comedic influence is concerned, carlin is way ahead, partly because he lived longer, but either way both are legendary comedy influencers. carlin influenced Chappelle and chris rock too you know.

@@flamingmanure offcourse Carlin too. But Pryor is the best of all time. Even Carlin said that.

Patrice O'neal too. Patrice's top two were Richard Pryor and George Carlin.

OnA are not dead and are not relevant

..... yet here you are clicking on a video about them and then commenting. lol. do you get how dumb you are?

Tss tss BloodOcean? Whaddya from the Bible or sumthin???

lol so this is where all the comedy rejects go to jerk off

Maybe Carlin is only relevant, because he's dead

Numidium you can but you'll look like an idiot.

Numidium Pretty sure they were specifically targeting these guys but thanks for reaching. I'm sure in this dudes preferences, there's many who stand next to Carlin but nice try and thanks for your meaningless contribution to an "argument" you started :)

Numidium surely being as smart as you clearly are... you'll be able to see the false dichotomy you've created in your argument. Which you then used as the basis for a circular argument.

Numidium "I'm a professional troll" Right, I totally believe you.

This is the first time I've ever even heard of O&A and my first impression is I never want to hear them again. They should change their name to D&D Dumb & Dumber

Purple Nurple 100%

I'd care, but Carlin is def great. Not a fan of young carlin

I think they're Jealous of Carlin. Glad Burr put them in their place

Carlin is a Comedic god, Bill Burr would've been even more brutal if they weren't friends. Patrice would've tore them apart since he viewed him as being tied for the greatest comedian of all time with Pryor.

Jesus man.

Exactly

@pkap617 then don't listen to it u donkey

Maybe he just wanted the comedy to remain funny. Crazy right?

“Comedic Philosopher” ? _So a Bullshit Artist.._

​@TheMightyBLAT no. It's comedians' job to "speak truth to power" and raise everyone's consciousness. They're supposed to be self important, not funny. Funny is offensive, and that's just not acceptable. Ask any "comedian" today. They'll tell you how vital they are to society.

RustedPieces1 By far

Me too.

Me too.

This.

RustedPieces1 at in his age or the date?

He was on the show before this. Not sure if you're new but comedians came on and trashed each other everyday. They trashed everything and guests piled on. That was O&A. Carlin was funny but he did become preachy, bitter and lost his drive for comedy. Same with Bill Hicks. People turned from saying how funny they were to applauding their 'message'. Their monologues could have came from the drooling mouth of anybody who's taken acid or mushrooms.

RJG I'm confused... You seem to be critical of George primarily for his material in the latter part of his career, but your criticism is that his "monologue could have came from the drooling mouth of anybody who's taken acid or mushrooms?" You mean, you thought his late 60s and 70s stuff (when he wasn't "bitter and 'preachy") was the opposite of this and thus better? Like old Uncle George would say, "it's all very confusing."

They're Ball-less bitches

@@rjg4851 ... he was always preachy(!!) goddamn I don't understand it. O&A bashed him and said he wasn't funny on his O&A visit. I was like what?? He was damn funny. And they made him laugh too. But yes he is old. He does circle around the things he knows. Everyone who is 70 no longer is new and catchy. That they said he wasn't funny anymore ... ... his whole view of the world is cynical. That's always been the core of his performance and that never changed till the last day. Saying he changed is such horseshit. He grew old. Well no shit Sherlock.

george would obliterate them live.

You know this isn't their KZfaq channel? Clearly you aren't a genius at all.

Doesn't say much

@@aiamerica1320 open your brains then

Wasn't funny though

Carlin would have mocked these new lefties of today big time

Totally agree. Oh and the bit about not liking him because he’s liberal makes no sense lol because he made fun of both parties constantly

This is such a dumb argument. You are allowed to criticise anyone you want even if you couldn't do what they do better than them. If the only way you can defend Carlin is by bashing Anthony, then maybe you don't have much of an argument at all

Anthony =)

Who cares its his opinion.

Carlin sucks compared to Ant, Norton, CK, Burr, Patrice etc...

Or maybe he’s just pointing out that Carlin wasn’t that funny anymore.. could be that.

Not anymore. He said he was totally right about his later specials on compound media😁

Opie and Anthony were radio show hosts who hosted the Opie & Anthony Show, a comedy radio show that had stand up comedians on as guests, as well as actors, writers, political figures and various celebrities. Bill Burr was a regular guest and friend of both co-hosts.

Not to mention Patrice was on regularly. Gold

Asshole shock jocks that made a career out of having comedians as friends. Real special.

True, Carlin was employed up til the day he died. These two.....not anymore. LOL

R W U can’t be serious! You’re comparing a comedian, who’s job allowed him to pretty much say whatever the fuck he wanted, to 2 radio DJ’s who worked for a company that monitored practically every word that came out of their mouths, not to mention the fact that they ran the risk of getting fired if something wasn’t appropriate enough or PC enough, yea that’s a perfectly fair and balanced comparison (rolls eyes)!!!! Please walk into oncoming traffic you fucking shit for brains!

The QC they edit out the time they are watching the clip dummy because copyrights

Did you notice when they paused the clip talked about Carlin and then replayed it George's audience was laughing right after they said this isn't funny at all. These 2 are nothing but a bunch of bitter jealous hacks

They edited the jokes out on this video. Its longer.

MannyFlanders Dude Opie just “accepted that challenge” which amounts to he thinks he can get over on Burr better than Patrice could. What a fucking joke

Well he did have the best comedians as regulars in his show. He even hired Ant to be his radio partner. He might not be funny but he does know comedy.

The Unknown Psycho, that's right, he did know talent and comedy to a decent degree, but he was probably best known for bringing everyone together, he had his place in comedy history, just not for comedy.

I just find it infuriatingly and IRONICLY, annoying that Opie seems to be able to critique faults in Carlins pure gold, without reflecting and learning from them, And instead, being unable to see the IRONY that he's the faults in, even this God Damn Clip! How dare he try and drag Bill into trashing Carlin, it made me cringe so much. He did that purely because he thinks talking at (and somtimes over) funny people until they say something funny, counts as not being a hack radio host.

Dopie was never funny to begin with , so him judging what’s funny or not is irrelevant

Exactly. They're simple minded

Their point was that he wasn't funny anymore. Not that he isn't a great philosopher and such.

Don Reuter Ant is way off on everything let's be honest.

Don Reuter They were obviously Gate Keepers man. Still are. I mean, wtf was their problem? And Ant just had to fucking add that racist shit in the beginning "It was like he was rapping" lol he's got jokes man and that's what I've always loved about Ant but fuck, when I go back and listen to a lot of shit there is alot of Venom in some of the shit he says.

SYKO THE LAST OUTLAW Shut the fuck up and learn to size people up. Jesus fucking Christ I know not everybody is racist but the flips side to that is not everybody is non-racist either. I've been listening to O&A for 10+ years knowing Ant was a racist, wtf am I gonna do huh?

KageTrauma hes a piece of shit but what he said about Carlin rapping isn't fucking racist no matter how you spin it.

SYKO THE LAST OUTLAW This isn't a debate, I know what context Anthony put it in, you don't. Stop whining and defending another grown man who has fucked up as many times as Anthony. Him and his brother and father are the same people he bitches about. Hell, they're worse.

Cause you never listened to the show? All comedians have great memories of the O&A show.

@@s3340985 very few people have listened to those two they’re wannabes

Because you're nobody

Google User you are loser

Gay

He was a True Progressive Legend

Literally agree with this comment. I'm no conspiracy theorist. Carlin spouted absolute facts. He's still correct to this day on the topics that labeled him a "conspiracy theorist". He has been proven absolutely correct. Idiots called them one thing, he called them "the owners". They are still there, they aren't in the shadows now.

@Google User I dont know that you can smell people over the internet? Is there a link where you can download his smell ?

Ant's not really conservative. Last I checked he doesn't believe in God and he abhors the institution of marriage and he encourages abortion. Doesn't sound too conservative. He's just not a fanboy of unfunny people.

Jack Grimaldi 😆 He's a self professed conservative. It's his "thing". He is very conservative on a multitude of issues.

@@jackgrimaldi8685 Nope. That was old Ant. New Ant (with a straight face mind you) actually laments the loss of family values. He’s become the classic lazy American conservative even he once hated.

could you point me to a good special? i tried listening to his material but i could never get into him.

The Unknown Psycho check out " George Carlin people that should be killed" he kills that bit but his shit is brainy like half Chapelle "

That's just not true O&A had some legendary bits with some legendary comedians you just sound hurt and I'm a huge Carlin fan. Even Anthony with his impressions or conversations with Louis C.K, O&A destroying Scorch by themselves is funnier than late 2000's Carlin. Ant was right Carlin was clever and had a flow but not laugh out loud funny in his last few years there was no jokes it sounded more like a lecture like he said. O&A were huge fans of him though you could easily tell did you listen ignorant douche.

Blake Ranew nope just some of his shit is insightful but that doesn't mean not equal funny,but B-lake who that fuck you talking to ? Lol probably Mr. miles who has groupie all over him

Funny Anthony is much funnier than Carlin.

He’s should definitely be granted sainthood! Although it would be a bit ironic given his whole view and criticism of religion.

+Damocles' Sword - *"tell the truth"* - you mean spouting retarded 9/11 conspiracy horseshit? I liked Carlin but this image most of his fans have of this profound genius wise man who "saw the truth, _maaaan!"_ and was never wrong about anything is embarrassing.

Carlin barely said anything about 911. He said nothing about it in this special. I was talking about his bit about the"owners of the country".. people are edjucated just enough to run the machines but not ask questions. it's a big club and you ain't in it.

Damocles' Sword that's not profound that's basic college sophmore type "whoa the government is corrupt maaan" stuff.

Benedicite Sol I didn't say it was profound. I said it was relevant. Things were different before the internet became ubiquitous. Carlin's career was in constant flux. He changed his style as he got older. At this point he'd added in some of his spoken word dissection of the English language and slang. Nobody says you have to like it. His best stuff was when he could do more physical comedy bits in the 80's & 90's.

Yeah cause that what I want in my comedy, tell the truth with no jokes maaaannnn

Jordan Seymour some people have no imagination, or creativity, and need things put into neat little boxes, with neat little categories. The idea of work your craft, and polishing your act to make it perfect, is anti how these guys function. They adlib. For them, building a flawless craft to perfection, is beyond there comprehensive capability.

Janzer They're Gatekeepers lol they had millions of listeners, and this is how the system keeps people from being exposed to people like Carlin. Gatekeepers, all of them. I mean I was in my late teens going into my 20's when I first started listening to them and when I go back and listen to alot of old shit I think myself "Wow, I was smart but was I really this ignorant back then?" Its like some shit out of a book.

@@-Trauma. They're hardly gatekeepers, like honestly even if you hate O&A you're just stupid if you say that, when they've given chances to your favorite comedians. Like bill burr mightn't be as famous as he is today without O&A, his philly rant happened on an O&A tour. George Carlin was literally on O&A himself, so how are they gatekeeping him?

@@trickster6669 You're here on this video replying to me because you thought I was being serious...go to the bathroom, turn the lights off, and look at yourself in the mirror.

@@-Trauma. bro read half of these comments from the George Carlin fanboys and tell me they're not exactly like yours

J P189 No real point to that question. No one could ever know the answer. The fact is he is dead and is still talked about with the likes of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, etc. Plenty of artists have had no relevance in life and exploded after death. George stayed in the spotlight both in life and death.

Listening to Carlin is thought provoking and inspiring. On the contrary listening to O&P makes you lose hope in humanity

Chux Diaz I was like 8yo when I saw the “Stuff” bit that hack Opie loved so much and became a lifelong fan. He did for you and I what he did for millions of fans throughout his like 50 year career and these two hacks not only thought they could trash him but that Bill Burr of all people would join in.

Chux Diaz He has since changed his tune.

Poor kid

Chux Diaz Ant.......when the fuck was Ant EVER relevant...... Who the Fuck is Ant?! Life is worth Losing was fucking brilliant! Being too fucking asshat stupid to understand it doesn't make it bad. He passed unexpectedly a year before I had a chance to ever see him and to hear these retards say he was terrible and they walked out makes me sick to my stomach.

Greg Mc donald I wouldn't go that far

Jerrod Howard Burr is Carlin, and Norm MacDonald is Kaufmann.

Right, an out of touch self righteous moralizing limousine liberal.

the jokes were cut for KZfaq u butt

That's because ugly mother fuckers are usually unhappy

Numidium He might be doing well for himself but he’s not doing anything for the fans. That shit is fucking unwatchable.

25:10 for the Burr calling out hack. But yeah Carlin did like 20 albums. The one after "Life is Worth Losing", called "It's Bad For Ya" was a little better received, as he got some flak for the nihilistic tone of "Life is Worth Losing". In any case, I like everything he ever did, and generally agree with Bill in this clip, at least over O&A. Edit: and yeah, Anthony's show isn't near as good as O&A was, same with Jim and Sam. Fucking sad what happened to this show.

10 years already. :( Man. I fucking miss him. Carlin and Cosby(even though his extra curricular activities were deplorable) shaped my comedy tastes. And "Modern man" was just Carlin having fun and showing off then rolling into his show. Great opening to a solid show.

Neg Ative. Every OP comment I've seen under this video is Pro-Carlin and Anti-O&P. When there's as many likes as dislikes you know you're in the minority by far. I wouldn't doubt they lost subscribers on this one

George Carlin was NEVER past his prime, he died in it.....

You're right about carlin, but O&A are far from hacks or a carbon copy, it really just shows what you know about comedy that you'd call O&A hacks, especially when George Carlin himself was on the show and enjoyed it but you are right, Ant is just being a douche because he just hates Carlins political views

iHatebologna59 you spelled dumb as fuck wrong.

timwins31 and you can never be accused of understanding sarcasm

That was exactly Anthony's point. He was all that, he just wasn't funny anymore.

Bill Burr, comedian, Anthony Cumia, radio show host, Opie Hughes, radio show host, and the guy they're talking about is George Carlin, deceased comedian. One would think you'd have some idea who they are since you clicked on the video.

E101ification you mean, Bill Burr and two fuckin hacks on an abandoned radio show that desperately tried to keep up with Howard Stern but couldn't

E101ification I know Bill Burr but its hard to believe they were talking shit about Carlin. He doest need that to be relevant. The other cunts you mention, yeah no idea who are they, certainly not comedians

One of them died or something, and I'm not talking about Carlin. Now there's only the one that's on the show. We're halfway to the end of the suffering of many listeners whose phones or car radios are broken.

I hate that. All those old comedians with legendary status. I think students became the masters. Carlin for sure wasn't at the cutting edge of comedy in his 70s...

I find that the people who accuse Carlin of being "bitter" are incapable of facing the truth. Really now...whose point of view best reflects reality? Yours or his?

That makes no sense. What are you even trying to say? One's perspective on life is completely subjective, but people notice it when others are bitter. You can be critical all you want, but you can do it without the anger. Sometimes, you have to be angry, that's certainly true, but I got the feeling that Carlin, towards the end, was indeed bitter. In some of his material at least, and its presentation. I can't comment on his personal life. What's wrong with that observation? Am I not facing the truth? What truth would that be? And truth according to who? And what exactly is reality anyway? Since it's all subjective and based on personal experiences, I can say whatever I want. My views are a better presentation of reality than Carlin's, yes. What else? Would you like me to say that Carlin's view of the world was truer than mine is? It's not, not from my point of view at least. Or would you say that your own sense of the world is inferior to Carlin's? Or do you mean something specific? Because you made a very vague claim about it. Do you own objective reality, so that you can compare people's opinions and views and see which one's closer to the truth? Cause if you don't, then what makes you say that Carlin's views are truer than mine? All I said was that Carlin was bitter, which is an opinion. Is that the criterion? If someone's angry, and some other calls him bitter for it, does that automatically mean that the latter's view of reality is inferior to the former's?

because he ain't the comedic genius that carlin was. it's as simple as that.

+Kelly Brandmeyer - Wait, what? Of course he doesn't. How can you agree with someone who has different politics than you? Having different politics than someone else is just another way of saying you disagree with them - I mean, it literally means the same thing. Your sentence might as well have said "Of course Anthony doesn't agree with anyone he doesn't agree with." It's impossible by definition to agree with someone you disagree with. It might possibly be the most pointless comment I've ever read.

No shit, but the point he was making is that the COMEDY special was not funny. Has nothing to do with politics.

the jokes were cut, do you think that you'd be allowed to play more than 2 seconds of carlins special on KZfaq?

He just doesn’t like his philosophic style towards the end.
