He wasn't just any other comedian, he was a *philosopher,* actor, author and social critic and a very smart man. Born and raised as a *New Yorker,* and was known for his black comedy and reflections on politics, English language, psychology, religion and various taboo subjects. He and his *"7 dirty words"* comedy skit(which was a pretty funny and relatable one and recommended) were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme court case F.C.C. v Pacifica Foundation, in which a 5-4 decision affirmed the government's power to regulate incident material on the public airwaves. And widely regarded as one of the most important and influential American stand-up comics *OF ALL TIME,* and not to mention he dubbed by the newspaper to be *"the Dean of Counter culture comedians".* The guy said a lot of facts and yet was funny about it at the same time, told it like it is and wasn't afraid to speak his own mind and was a true comedic legend. Keep the George Carlin videos 😎

George always knows and conveys the unvarnished truth. He has many comedy sets that are funnier, but he always delivers in a way everyone can relate to, and he's right virtually all the time. He will make you think, and when you're done thinking about it, you'll agree he knows the truth. This was probably from the 90's, and he died in 2008. But everything he says is usually truer today than back when he first said it.

George never referred to himself as a comedian. He said that "I'm just a writer who performs his own material". If you notice, outside of his early days, he'd make a little joke here and there for the sake of entertainment, but for the most part he just said truthful things in a highly-worded way. He loved words, words were his passion. He was a man with a message that just so happened to make people laugh because of how good he was at delivering it. e: He also didn't fear backlash, he said what most were afraid to say in public, and did it relentlessly. He was fearless with regards to what he would say, he was the Eminem of standup. I was 14 years old when he died in '08, and it sucked, because he was my first hero.

Got to work him a couple of times back in the day, would've been early 80s. Really nice guy, no pretensions, no crazy, I'm too cool requirements. His only prop was a bar stool, deli tray and some cold beverages in the dressing room. Give him the stage call count downs, walk him up the wing, cue house lights, and out he goes. No fuss. Class act.

It's from 1992 and he has a ton of great material!

GEORGE CARLIN THE PROPHET. THE BEST COMEDIAN OF OUR TIME. NO CONTEST...MUCH LOVE SHILOH.😘❤

I love George 😊💜 Please do more!

George was a philosopher to us die hard George Carlin fans. His brand of comedy is timeless and will stand on it's own for years and years perhaps centuries to come. Don't look for George to come to your city any time soon, he died in 2008. He was and is my all time favorite comedian-philosopher of all. Noone can say the things that he says the same way or any where close to it because he told the truth and we die hard G.C. fans know it and he made his audiences do something they hadn't done for some time, think. He was definitely a one of a kind.

The Legend, a 40 year career of brilliance

I love that you’re taking this journey! Please watch as much George as you can.

I love Carlin. I have watched him since I was a young kid. I'm lucky I got to see him live in Atlantic City a year or 2 before he passed away. Also, as for this bit, the earth will heal itself, look at how the environment and wildlife flourished during the height of COVID where rivers and bodies of water started to clean themselves and wildlife returned to places they haven't been in YEARS. That said, I do think recycling and making as little mess as possible is important. I think this special was Jammin' In New York from 1992. I could be wrong on that though.

George is one of the best comedian philosophers. Please react to more of his stuff.

George is a funny social commentator!! Glad you enjoyed him!!

George was definitely a thinking person's comedian. I was lucky enough to see him perform live. Please dive into much more of his stuff, you won't be disappointed!

When George Carlin was around, a lot (not all, but a lot) of comics didn't write their own material, and he did. He originally viewed himself as a performer who wrote his own material, and as he matured, he changed his view to a writer who performed his own material.

George is funny, but always leaves ya with something to think about.

I saw George twice back in the late seventies, early eighties at a small dinner theater. I've never laughed so hard in my life.

George Carlin was a famous comedian, author, and actor. His comedy career started in the 1960s as a mainstream comedian. Around 1970, he made a serious change in his comedic approach, and became an anti-establishment comedian, and his comedy albums appealed to a whole new generation of fans. In the late-1970s, George Carlin began appearing in a series of HBO Comedy Concerts that continued on until the year of his death in 2008. George Carlin made many appearances on network television on variety shows and late-night talk shows.

One of the last interviews with George impressed me more than his "Bits"- the interviewer told him the different "roles" that people thought he played- philosopher - a lover of wisdom, Professor- Professors are usually experts in their field and teachers of the highest rank, Truth Sayer, Satirist, Wise Man and Just a "Funny Guy" - Then he asked George why he was here, with us in this life, and his reply was "I'm just here for the Entertainment - and it is a most entertaining life." I agree with George, if you step back and simply observe; life is rather hysterically Funny, sometimes Sadly funny, sometimes just absurdly funny, sometimes just funny because funny is better than sad. One thing for sure about George, he will make you THINK and sometimes, just the thinking is funny! I'm 79 years old and to this day, If I feel sorrow/sad or just plain need the spiritual Lift that a good laugh always gives, I simply get out a "George Carlin Bit" and renew my ability to laugh and realize that life is rather absurd. Enjoy George and always remember, Laughter is good, it's healthy, and damn it's fun! Looking forward to you sharing the experience of George Carlin. Stay safe, stay well and keep laughing!

Glad to see the youth discovering George. Miss him so much.

Shiloh: George Carlin was perhaps America's most popular comedian in the 80s and 90s. I watched his entire 50-year career in real-time. What this video is, is an outtake from his dozen or so HBO 1-hour specials he did once a year. Some of his videos made us laugh harder than others. Some were silly (e.g., Death Penalty, Losing Your Stuff, or Our Similarities, which you should react to). Some were serious (It's a Big Club).

George was billed as a comedian. Bull feathers. He was a philosopher. BIG time thinker!!! George was amazingly smart. Keep watching his work... It will serve you well. He makes us think and view things differently.

Carlin isn't stand-up. It's the blood and guts of intellectual curiosity from the heavens.

George has always said that he's not trying to get people to think. He's letting people know that he's thinking. "Saving the Planet" was a part of a comedic sketch that I believe was his best. Another good one in this concert is, "Traveling on the Airlines." That will get your laughter going for sure.

George, Was an amazing comedian and philosopher. I have seen him since Rollin and Martin's Laugh-In. Then HBO specials and in person. Seeing him live was something special. You knew he was going to talk about a subject that would offend someone, but still leave you laughing. Always the unadulterated truth. If you check out any of the other clips available by him, watch them. You will enjoy them! Like most, you may disagree with him on some topics, but you will still enjoy it. Everything he brought up in shows/routines during the eighties, ninties and early 2000's still applies as if it was today. Thanks! And, enjoy.

George has some great bits. Definitely a top comedian and writer.

Awesome reaction and he's definitely a legendary comedian.

Yes, he was a comedian as far back as the 60s. You should check out his routine on euphemisms, and National Press Club routine about the language of Washington. Brilliant.

Indeed my dear, this wasn't his first show.... He started doing comedy in 1959. 😁 His act was totally different in the beginning but changed 180 degrees towards more high brow philosophical humor during the Hippie era - early 70'ties. Glad you're getting to know George the Great... Not a comedian who said profound things, but a philosopher who happened to be extremely funny.

George Carlin goes back to the 1960s in his early career. In the 70s he was arrested several times for some of his routines when he started to go against the "status-quo". During the late 80s and early 90s during his HBO specials he redefined himself and his comedy by leaving nothing on the table. He doesn't just make you laugh, he also makes you think about what he's saying at the same time. He even co-starred in a few movies over the years. He's not just one of the greatests, he's a Legend! R.I.P. George Carlin!

1ST TIME HEARING GEORGE BABY HUH??? AWWWWWW :) I'LL JUST TELL YOU SHILOH THAT HE WAS THE BEST BY FARRRR AND HE'LL MAKE YOU THINK AND LAUGH, JUST A BRILLIANT COMEDIAN, EXCELLENT AT COMEDY AND PHILOSOPHY :) PASSED ON AFTER HIS 4TH HEART ATTACK :( 22 JUN 2008 :( ENJOYYYYY

Never saw the George Carlin clip, found it quite by accident. The thing that drew me to it was I noticed your photo in the thumbnail. An amazing beauty. I could watch just to see you smile

George Carlin is on the Mt. Rushmore of standup comedy.

He's an observer and a real good one. Always precise 👌

George Carlin was a philosopher.

You can't go wrong going down the Carlin rabbit hole! He was a philosopher as much as a comedian. And sometimes even make you question your own beliefs!

This Standup was back in 1992 called "Jammin' in New York"

I suggest u watch his u have no rights bit next its another good one he's a legend in the comedy word R.I.P. and also makes u think too

George is the greatest standup comedian ever and you're as cute a as button!

I love watching someone watch Carlin for the first time. He is a comedian just in his later years had a way of making reality funny. Please watch more of him. My favorite of his bits is called "trillions of Dave's" or millions I forget but it's soooooooo good :p

I admire George’s view of not worrying about the things he mentioned, and I’m all for that way of thinking, but ticks and Lyme disease is something everybody should absolutely be very worried about and be made aware of. That is nothing to screw with.

George nails it ....

George Carlin is the best teacher, using comedy to lighten up his teaching

Next Carlin reaction, needs to be his routine- Religion Is Bullshit (uncensored)…..George started his career in the 1960’s, and while not always laugh out loud funny, he’s funny and makes you think To me, he’s the greatest American standup comedian of all time!!

You should see more of George, including the stuff he did with Flip Wilson. They were hysterical together.

He was a comedic G.O.A.T ... a comedians , comedian. Great Share Champion!

I love how everyone automatically thinks of COVID-19 when George mentions viruses, but we have had MUCH more deadly and horrific things in the past. Heck, the Black Plague is thawing out in Antarctica right now...

Tree huggers everywhere should hear this.

From jammin in NY. 30 yrs ago. The greatest stand up in comedy history. Every generation from the 60s to 2000s was influenced by him in some way.

92, 30 YEARS AGO, IT'S FROM HIS HBO SPECIAL ( JAMMIN IN NEW YORK ) :)

George Carlin is one of the GOAT's.

Hi Shiloh ♥, George RIP is one of my top ten comedians, Smart, Knowledgeable and Super Funny

I'm currently reading a book called Meditations, it's a collection of writings from Marcus Aurelius who was a stoic and a Roman emperor. Carlin and Marcus both had similar views on the fragility of life. You're only here for a little while, maybe we can (not to sound like a hippy) just be good to one another for a little bit before we're gone.

Wow I haven't seen one of your videos in a while. Good to see you again!! George Carlin was a genius

George just KNEW! ALL his material is FANTASTIC! Listen and THINK!🤔🤭🤗🤷‍♀️✌️❤️😏

GEORGE CARLIN IS ONE OF THE KINGS OF COMEDY !!!

George Carlin was simply a genius! A very intelligent man and very funny 😆

He performed this early 90s I believe, I love how relevant his set is in 2022, 30 years later. How you caught on his virus bit...in which he was referring to the HIV/aids epidemic but it still is relevant to sars covid h1n1 et al. You should do George Carlin on Religion.

My girlfriend got me tickets for that show for my birthday. He was an incredible philosopher/comedian.

Considered the greatest stand up comedian of all time

First time seeing you and I’m a new follower. Love reactors that don’t stop and talk 50x during the video. George was genius and I wish more people heard what he had to say. He has many funnier videos but they all hold a LOT of truths

I enjoy watching reactions, and this was the first time I came across one of yours, Shiloh. Very well done! And George is definitely someone whose material is worth taking a deep dive into. As many others have noted, he was a philosopher as well as a comedian. More comedian early in his career, but the wisdom was always there...then later in life, he had zero fucks left to give and it was more philosophical but still hilarious. Also, as others have already noted, his prescience was incredible. How some of his points ring truer now than they did when he came up with them just go to show how right he was...on damn near everything, lol. That aside, had to give you props and a subscription. I prefer reactors who at the least have a little something of substance to say about what they've watched/listened to, and I thought your closing thoughts were great. You didn't draw it out, but you also didn't just say "well yeah, so I watched it and it was cool/funny/etc." Hope to see you do really well with this and reach a broad and big audience. ✊

George Carlin and Richard Pryor started at the same time used to work at same clubs together

Carlin was a genius! You need to hear his views on religion and so much else.

George Carlin always makes a good reaction video 🙌

You really need to look at ( 7 dirty words) the joke that made him famous. And that he was arrested for once and it ended up being a supreme court freedom of speech case which he won

It always makes me happy to see a new generation discovering George Carlin

Right on. Thanks for sharing.

In case you didnt know, Carlin is a genius and the best comedian to have ever graced the stage.

Great Reaction 🙋🏻 Hello from Colorado USA

A real Legend...RIP GC.....

R.I.P. George! a Great mind that will be greatly missed!

Love George Carlin,he was special RIP.🇸🇪👍😃💙💚💚🧡❤️🙏💜🇸🇪😁

This show came out in I think the mid 90s. Viruses existed well before Humans.

It has been pretty much up in the air to wither George is more philosopher then a comedian.

This from the 1992 HBO special - Jamming in New York City

I used to watch George Carlin during the 80's. He was great.

Carlin was a philosopher more than a comedian.

George Carlin was part comedian and part prophet.

Carlin is still the GOAT!

This is from 1992. Carlin did a pretty good job seeing into the future

Geez..Im old. George will open your eyes. Guys a once in a lifetime kinda guy that will inform you on may topics and make piss your pants in laughter at the same time!

We Gen Xers grew up to George. Phenomenal.

Elvis Presley - Just Pretend (1970 Live) reaction please

Awesome, George makes you think AND laugh. Check out “you have no rights”.

He was one of the most intelligent comedians I've ever seen or heard. My top 3 most intelligent comedians are: George Carlin, Bill Burr, and Gallagher. If you like "slap-stick", satire and comedy that will make you think, Gallagher is the man. Check out his early stuff. If you were very brave, you would do George Carlin on Religion.

King of comedians.

This was recorded many years ago before he died

JUST A BRAIN FART HERE IF GEORGE CARLIN WAS HERE TODAY IN 2020 *** I WONDER IF HIS OPINIONS WOULD BE DIFFERENT TODAY ???

This man was way ahead of his time

George is my best or greatest comedienne I have ever heard or seen in person. Second to none and his humor is full of wisdom.

Need to check out George Carlin - 7 Dirty Words

Luv 🤗 your reaction stunning 😊👌

He is one of the very few GOATS of comedy. A true genius. Brilliant intellect.

George Carlin was a Genius!!!!! I love him so much and May he R.I.P. 😞😞😞😞😞

He's a legend!

“He is, in a sense, a comedian” is like saying Stevie Wonder is, in a sense, a musician. Good video though, check out more!

Viruses. He warned us years ago!

If nobody has told you that you are beautiful inside and out, you just got told by me.

The part that George is missing. Without trees, bees, snails, and EVERYTHING ELSE. Earth would DIE!
