george carlin - rip

just heard he died, rest in peace, although i will say his early stuff was good, but i went to one of his shows a couple of years ago, and a lot of his jokes were on teen suicide, not a great topic for a comedian.

 

Man, that is a bummer. George Carlin provided so many laughs for such a long time...

He will be missed.

RIP

 

RIP George. In his honor, all seven words should be fair game on TV today.

1st host of SNL...I did not know that.

 

I can't believe it. I loved Carlin.

 

Such a shame.

 

Great comedian. RIP

 

That sucks hard. I saw him at the Orleans 2 weeks ago.

 

wow. Just bombarded with bad news these days...

I liked his work. He was a thoughtful guy and his work showed it. I liked his earlier work than the last little bit. It had a little harshness to it. I liked his skit when he was repeating "Not in my neighborhood". That's when he came up with the idea of building public housing on golf courses. I also remember the one about "a good sport". When his pregnant partner called and said if he didn't marry her she would kill herself. Carlin said "My, you are a good sport".

 

"In labor news, longshoremen walked off the piers today.
"Rescue operations are continuing into the evening."

 

One of my two favorite comedians...the other was Sam Kinison. Sad day.

Just heard the news on the radio. Only 71--he was definitely one-of-a-kind. Thanks for all the eye-opening laughs! Rest in Peace.

 

I'm glad I finally got to see his act a couple years ago when he can to Bass Hall in Ft. Worth, back in the late fifties he worked as a DJ here for a couple of years.
Carlin claimed it was the only job he wasn't fired from, had some great stories about the beatnik scene in this sleepy western town called Ft. Worth.. He will be missed.

 

It is a loss, but to me, Carlin stopped being as-funny years ago. He became this bitter, anti-everything (especially God, and those who believed in God), and it just got to the point where I stopped watching him. I'll remember the earlier days as his best.

 

+1...No, +100. Add these Hollywood whack jobs to the list.

"Welcome wagon runs over new comers!"

"Good Humor man slays ten"

 

I wonder if his soul went to a car wash in Bakersfield....

 

A true Hero, one of the most intelligent human beings to walk the Earth IMO.

 

wow !!!!!!!!!!! he was one funny mofo !!!!!!

 

Sad news---He was a legend for sure----Me and the girlfriend saw him live about 4 years ago in DC----Had a great time....

 

Wow, George was one hell of a comedian and entertainer. His bit on traffic accidents was one of my favorites! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-505141550392734369&q=george+carlin+accidents&ei=Ot1fSPqZMpaYrAOjm83OAg&hl=en

RIP

+1!

 

Requiescat In Pace. I actually had the pleasure of meeting him, a very entertaining man.

 

RIP.

 

I have the old vinyl 33 of "The Class Clown".....Remember his take on the "under the arm f*rt" trick...........Loved his work back then, recent works not nearly as much.......But I can still quote the 7 words you cannot say on TV in order and up to his speed........

And his drug act on "Where did you get that sh*t man? What you gonna do with the sh*t? Wow, cool man".

And then his stint as the conductor on the Thomas the Tank Engine series.........

 

ONe of my all time favorites.....sad to hear the news today. RIP
