Comedy can be the vehicle as much as the person

Absolutely correct he was a philosopher.☮️👊

AKA... GENIUS

Agree Absolutely, but would add..Everything he said was ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!

@@rhondafortson5205 Yes everything he said was true no doubt darling.Be safe stay safe. ☮️👊💎

Awesome!

I first listened to one of his album's at a friend's apartment in the early 80's. I remember that I was laughing my head off. I saw his live act many times after that. Keep in mind that I barely spoke any English when I arrived in the US in the late 70's. Still, I knew I was laughing at the jokes of a comedy genius.

We saw him in 91 in St Louis. I was very pregnant and wearing a pair of purple overalls. It was a small venue and thankfully he didn't see my huge purple self lol.

I'm so glad he found his audience. I loved him. He spoke pure truth.

It was the exiting of many which confirmed the Man's truth.

Guys like him and Pryor were gifts.

@allencollins6031 let's not forget the rapid-fire mind of Robin Williams. Cocaine fueled at his Early rants true. But what a brilliant Brain. Too bad he never found meditation to slow down, just enough to grow old.

I kept going back to his bit about the fear of germs and the immune system during all the Covid bullshit.

@@justice4keanu Me too! Oh man, he would have had a nonstop field day with all the Covid insanity had he lived! The past two years would have provided him his greatest content ever!!

Yes, he is missed. He would have had a field day with the U.S. sponsored proxy war in Ukraine just like he did with the craziness of the Iraq war.

@@justice4keanu I think people tend to forget that plagues are fairly common, and that there is a pattern to outbreaks. Forgetting the exact time but every X amount of years there is a major outbreak of one thing or another. So that routine he had would fit in any era.. Still a good routine of course.

He'd be canceled today by a combined mob of various haircolored genderfluid twats and overly sensitive conservatives

What does it mean? English is not my native language.

A perspective that is sorely missed today.

@@JF-lt5zc It's not missed because it's still here.

@@grabble7605 As long as you don't say the wrong thing. Then you are banned. Happens all the time here on KZfaq.

That’s a view we should all hold to this day. Everyone should be able to speak freely even if it’s something we find totally offensive.

Apparently she wasn’t so stodgy after all. You never know about people, so never give up hope, I suppose.

Every night, no matter where I was. Unless I was camping in the woods.I'm so glad these clips are being posted.

Johnny’s show was peaking in the 70s.

We're in the golden age of entertainment. We are watching shows from the 1970s now!

Conservatives never change

Sad but true.

It’s the liberals doing the censoring now. Funny how things change

It’s more like adults who think that their kids can’t handle stuff. That’s why you get these dumb book bans down in Florida. I don’t want my kid to read about racism in America. It might make us look bad and we can’t have that

@@MrJimheeren thank you for demonstrating your inability to handle truths. It wasn't about racism, it was about adults talking to young children about what they like to put in their butts. The books in question were deemed (by their supporters) to be unfit to be read aloud in public. Everyone is fine with teaching children about racism, as long as it's accurate. CRT fails to meet that specific criteria. Maybe you should spend less time repeating stawmans and actually learn the facts first.

Hilarious! What a wonderful memory. Thanks for sharing Kevin. 😂🇨🇦🌞

lol

The same thing happened to me in the eighth grade. We were playing records in class and I brought in my 44 of Prince "Let's Go Crazy". The B side is a song called "Erotic City" and there is one line that says, "we can funk until the dawn...etc etc..." My teacher heard something else and picked up the needle....ah, the memories indeed!

Thanks for sharing that’s priceless

hahaha epic

And for so much less.

The problem is nowadays when people get offended they think they have the right to cancel you and end your career which is insane.. when you live in a country with freedom of speech you’re occasionally going to hear something that you don’t agree with or that might offend you thats just part of life, just change the channel or walk away instead of acting like a narcissistic little crybaby that thinks the whole world revolves around them

Leave my behalves out of this - they're none of your business.

⁠@@tylercarrell freedom of speech means people can whine and complain all the want about anything they want. your freedom of speech isn’t being violated unless your getting arrested like comedians were back in the day

@@BarginsGalore i totally agree everyone has the right to whine and complain about whatever they want and im totally fine with that but i can still use words such as “retard” or “midget” if i wanted to… i have no desire to go around discriminating people i just have an issue with everyone trying to ban words nowadays its totally against freedom of speech

@@jazzfan67 : Actually I can't answer your question as to "why". While Carlin had a famous piece called "The Seven Words You Can't Say On TV", there were actually many more, including "pregnant". I think "with child" was most common. And forget "knocked up". Married couples on tv slept in separate beds. Puritanical BS.

@@jazzfan67 : FYI... Carlin and his predecessors were occassionally jailed for using any of those 7 words on stage during live shows. I wish pushing ignorance, fear and hate on an audience was a jailable offense.

​@@jeffphakenewz8556 That was the Hayes Office for you. Everything that was intended for broadcast or for showing at theaters had to go through the MPAA's Hayes Office. Anything the reviewer personally didn't like was either censored or banned. The truth was MPAA was (and still is) a private company which assigns ratings for movies and television. It is not part of the US Government. Fortunately, the Hayes Office no longer exists.

Imagine what he'd have to say today. And the great thing is that comedy changes more people's minds than all anger and shrill voices we hear all day long.

He would agree... we don't need a "lord". You don't know George well.

Why do you need him? Are you incapable of thinking for yourself?

@@elenalatici9568 enough for a half dozen HBO specials.

Lord is probably happy George isn’t around anymore 😅 but everyone else would agree. He’s hugely missed!

80-year-old Carlin would have been intolerable. 🤣

With cancel culture he'd been cancelled by now.

@Bill Loomis normally I'd agree but George Carlin wouldn't let nobody cancel him much like Dave Chappelle did

@@magnificentfailure2390L

Nah. George always worked cleaned on tv

@@bartstarr100 on network TV anyway.

Carlin was never simply vulgar.

Do you know who Carson was? He was Franks GOOD friend.

Shhh! Don't even bring up how long it's been.

Yup and it's hard to believe it's been 6 or 7 years already since Rickles passed! All the greats are gone now , we'll never see the likes of them again. It's a sad time for our country now. But I'm glad we can still go back to a better time whenever we want!

@@mikeg6666 Joan Rivers too.

Too bad he did himself in with cigarettes…Carson too.

@@ice9594 If you’re referring to Carlin…..I’d say his massive Cocaine use in the 1970’s and 1980’s are what destroyed his heart more than his cigarette consumption

Cigarettes and cocaine I think.

Boo. 👻

he seems tame here compared with later in life

@@rsprockets7846 that's ok. There were worse than him and weren't even funny..

From the Ed Sullivan appearance's...

I love George's weather forecast on the Johnny Carson show. Something like "Tomorrow's outlook not great. It'll be raining ICBMs"

Yeah Dave Chapple turned into a kook.

Same here!

He was brilliant.Some people may not have approved of him but they have no problem with Donald Trump

What? Johnny was much respected & beloved & was the STANDARD for every year was on the air & is still missed to this day! The absolute TRASH on television now is disgusting. After Leno & Letterman & Craig Ferguson it was too. Once it all became leftist political hits on Trump & America, whites & America it was over.

@@kathyflorcruz552 you made my point Kathy

I mean... they literally do. The man is a legend.

I remember those episodes 😁

Randall was a cool entertainer too. I like sniglets, made-up words. Mine is “ignoranus”(for stupid a-hole).

@@ice9594 Good one! I may 'steal' it. 🙄😊 Tom Snyder on the Tomortow show, used to present those, usually from The Onion, although he also shared some from contests by Reader's Digest and the Washington Post. Two I remember from Tom, were . . . Lactomangulation, which is the act of violently ripping open a milk carton; and Foreploy, which is any lie told to get to have sex with another person. (edit: I remembered two more . . . Arachnoleptic Fit, which is the frantic dance performed when you accidentally walk into a spider web. Bozone, which is the substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating their minds. Unfortunately, the Bozone Layer shows no sign of breaking down in the near future.)

@@ice9594 I remember Bob Saget making up “shiggles” and happily using it on a game show he used to host on network tv.

That's universally accepted. decades of A+ comedy are unrivaled.

So, not real? Something he did t believe in... angel?

@@morbidmanmusicwell i havnt seen him around lately

I think it's what Carlin himself was getting at: certain words have specific times and places where they either are or aren't appropriate. They aren't inherently bad words, but they are strong words and not meant to be used all the time. For example, I hopefully will never say the f-word in front of my mom, but at work, with certain friends, anything goes. The thing about Carlin was that it wasn't just shock value that made him entertaining, it was his wit, wisdom, honesty and intellect.

I remember the circle star it's gone but not forgotten

I believe the few MPD officers that had an issue with his routine at the 4th or 5th annual Summerfest in Milwaukee was the fact that there were lots of children and families still on the grounds and the amplified cuss party wasn't quite working away from the stage area lol. Milwaukee native here. Was about 12 or 14 when it went down.

I remember the circle star they tore it down and built an electronic type of business there campus. I am interested in your story.

Its not dumb to gamble. People do it because they enjoy it.
