R.I.P. George Carlin

FOD should have a special day dedicated to his comedy.

I agree

“Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?” I love that man.

What if there were no hypothetical questions? George Carlin

glad someone already made this thread. he will be missed. classy move by the team to put his video in the main player today. rest in peace…

Sad day….I have dozens of old cassette and vhs tapes of George on Carson’s tonight show. George and Rodney were by far the most prepared comics ever with the number of appearances and the quality of their jokes. There is a great picture of George in the middle with other great comics at last years Mort Sahl’s 80th b-day celebration. You’ll never see a group like that ever again.

The 7 words that you can’t say on Television sparked my interest in comedy when I was just a lad. George you were like a father to us all you will be severely missed. RIP

It broke my heart a little to see the sad news. He was so dang SMART! I loved his bit about trying to baffle his religion teachers by always coming up with impossible questions, like if God was so almighty, could he create a rock so big even he couldn’t lift it?

not only was he funny, but his comedy was smart

Rest in Peace sweet Jester.

I saw him when he came through Asheville about a year and a half ago or so. The entire routine was great. My favorite bit was about the types of jokes sophisticated people enjoyed, or rather wouldn’t enjoy. He went on to tell the audience three jokes that were the most obscene jokes I have ever heard. I can remember only one of them now.

Carlin starts the joke. “A little girl walks in on her father taking a shower. She looks down at his penis and asks “Daddy, when am I going to get one of those?” Carling leans down, as you would to address a little girl, and in a sweetly abrasive voice “As soon as Mommy goes to work”

No one in the first 15 rows laughed but everyone in the balcony seats were dieing. As I grabbed onto the railing to support my weakening oxygen starved body, I looked down to see the faint glinting of diamonds from the shifting necklaces of the uncomfortable ladies in those first 15 rows. I think one gentleman tried to laugh but it was met with the glaring eyes of everyone in that section since not a one could still look onto the stage where George stayed frozen, bent over as you would to address a little girl, with that comically deranged contorted look on his face.

I will be keeping him in my thoughts. Right between my ass hurts in this chair and lets fuck the waitress.

“This is roger, your hippy-dippy weatherman with you hippy-dippy weather, man.” RIP
