RIP for a funny MoFo.

During his career he won 4 Grammys and was nominated for 5 Emmys. Last Tuesday, it was announced that Carlin was being awarded the 11th Annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, the highest honor for an American humorist, which will be presented Nov. 10 in Washington and broadcast on PBS.

Also a little known fact; he was the host of the very first Saturday Night Live in 1975 and appeared 130 times on the Tonight Show.

I didn't agree with everything Carlin said or did, but he consistantly cracked me up when he said it.

Wow what a loss...he was a funny dude!! I must agree with Bob that while I didn't agree with all of Carlin's points of view I couldn't argue with his presentation-he'd make me laugh--he'll be missed..

Plus one. One of the funniest men that ever lived. People that didn't like him on the count of his political views just need to grow the hell up. I will miss him.

when the zombies rise... we can kill him again! YEAH!

Damn. He was one of the few comedians I actually liked.

damn, a year that began with the death of Vonnegut
and ended with the death of George Carlin...
...America is quickly running our of our best wit.
I will really miss George Carlin.

RIP George

RIP George, its a sad day in comedy

RIP, this is a loss of a great comedic mind. I couldn't count the number of times I listened to his albums or watched him on TV when I was younger.

Not a fan then I take it, Drew?

He was alright for a liberal anti American God hating drug user........
I just think comedians would rather have people joke about their deaths over being somber....

Do you know what Rodney Dangerfield would be doing if he were alive today?

























Scratching on the lid of his coffin!

George Carlin was an America Hating Atheist, but he was funny. I think that he was at his best when he was young.

As he aged his bitterness began to show. I met him a few times when doing his personal security when he would come to Atlanta. He was a chain smoker that never laughed off stage and seldom smiled, when he did so it was in a completely perfunctory manner, because it was expected.

Still my condolences to the family.

RIP. His shows were a tad uncomfortable at the end ,but he was the shit in his prime. I liked him a lot when I was a kid,but we are all dirty liberals when we are kids. We become conservative when we grow up.....hopefully.

He's more of a Left-Libertarian than a liberal.

yeah, he was not a democrat. i'm not even sure he was a liberal. i'm not sure what he was, other than very funny. remember the "place for your stuff" skit? funny as hell.

later george. i'll remember you well, even though the last time i heard his stuff was about 20 years ago.

The man was one of the great guys with whom everyone could relate to because he used material that was common to most everyone. I'll miss his style of comedy. Rest in peace, Mr. Carlin.

Well, since I hate (ex) Hippies and Liberals in general...

I hafta admit his "swimming in the Hudson river as kids" skit was kinda funny though. Especially now when you see soccer Moms blasting their kids with Purex waterless hand sanitizer after they accidentally brush up against the two month old dried-out dog shit that's at the edge of the lead paint free playground.

You mean losertarian?

Agree totally. Still, an extremely talent comedian.

Don't forget, Stan Winston died the other day too.

(For those who don't know, he was a master special effects artist who created the Predator, did the effects for Aliens, Terminator movies, Jurassic Park movies, and most other special effect movies you've ever heard of.)

what a funny dude. its a shame he died.

....the only guarantee in life, is death.

it takes all of us, sometimes, remember.......

If a man in his twenties is not a liberal, he has no heart...........
If a man in his forties is not a conservative, he has no brain.

-Winston Churchill

You know I can really give two shits about him being liberal or whatever the fuck.
I liked his recent shit cause he talked about shit "people" didn't want to hear about.
He'd probably call me a shit head for using the quotation marks their, oh well fuck
it. Later George see you in hell or heaven whatever the fuck. I'll be sure to pass
your comedy on to my children.

George Carlin, 2008 - he might piss you all off, but he is funny, and he makes a lot of sense, once you get past the BULLSHIT! Ive often thought of him when turning away bible bangers from the house.....and I am NOT an atheist

This man was one of few that ALWAYS made me laugh, no matter my mood or whatever at the time....and with modern media, he may just live forever......

I bet you'd give a "fuck" about old George's liberal bent if he was standing outside a prison demanding that the two scumbags who just killed a loved member of your family be spared from a well deserved execution.

Somehow, for all his "tough" talk & swagger on stage, I could imagine Mr. Carlin doing just that.

I still have no use for most ex-Hippies and liberals myself.

KILL KILL KILL THE HIPPIES
KILL KILL KILL THE HIPPIES

Kill 'em cuz you don't like what they wear
Kill 'em cuz their sink fouls up the air

KILL KILL KILL THE HIPPIES
KILL KILL KILL THE HIPPIES

Kill 'em cuz their hair's too long
Kill 'em cuz their views are wrong

KILL KILL KILL THE HIPPIES
KILL KILL KILL THE HIPPIES

Send 'em back to San Francisco
Send 'em back to San Francisco
Send 'em back to San Francisco... NOW!

Lemme buy you a beer (or two), Mr. Vee!

seeing as this is a memorial thread about a person who was never in any way in politics, hows 'bout we leave the politics of the man -what ever they may be- outta this. especially seeing as (and i am speaking as someone with a Masters in Political Science) most people who try and fling accusations and passing ideas about that political word they heard, like so much poo from the hand of a monkey with a wicked knuckleball...generally sound like complete 'tards.

now i am far from being a mushy person, and generally regard the passing of most people with enough sedateness that i've been accused of being a heartless bastard many a time, but George Carlin could do something amazing: he could tell dirty, foul-mouthed jokes about farts, shit, and various bodily orifices- yet you could watch his routines with your parents, and company, and your children, and complete strangers from a foreign land. his comedy belonged to generations, ranging from generations who could remember Lenny Bruce to ones too young to have seen him in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

If comedy is the universal language, his ability to make observations that felt like he had made them about YOU specifically makes him one of the greatest scholars of that language. If comedy is the universal truth, as people can not generally be forced to laugh at something that isn't funny, then that old man who resembled everyone's crude, mean-spirited grandad was one of the most honest men in history. For fuck sake, the man was about to be awarded the Mark Twain Award for scholarship....for a body of work that included dick and fart jokes! c'mon!

i have a long flight scheduled soon to travel back to the US from Eastern Europe, and i will feel good knowing that I am flying IN the plane, rather than ON the plane.

Please don't start.

Comments from smarmy ass know it all collage boys sit as well with me as a dead libby's point of view.

Man what a shitstorm.

I loved Carlin's comedy when I was a kid. Not as much later when he became so political, but I'm thick-skinned when it comes to comedy; I don't mind a good joke at my expense. And as for his protests or political statements, well, I don't really give a fuck. Never paid much attention to the political leanings of entertainers. They think they're smarter than we are, but in reality they only have a taller soapbox.

I will try to not be so brash when I see a tribute thread for susan surandon, jane fonda, or osama bin laden....

Yes, carlin was funny... no denying that at all....
He was also a POS IMO!

Sorry if I craped on your thread bob.....
You say you are thick skinned as far as comedy, I know you are as well on the internet.

I only offered my honest opinion..
Some may agree, others may not... not intended to offend or establish my superior brain power (<LOL!) or anything like that...

Perfectly demonstrated by your sense of humor after you posted that missing-a-tooth picture .

Well put Bob, I agree. RIP George
