Yea, Carlin was a genius. I highly recommend his book "Brain droppings" One of the things he says has stayed with me for 20 years and once I heard it I could never "unhear" it. He said: "A politicians job is to use as many words as possible to say nothing" Once I heard this I started to actually reak down what politicians said and holy crap was George right. They get a question and give a 5 minute monolog, using big fancy words to throw of the "peasants" and if you actually listen to what they say it amounts to roughly: "no comment", "that's not my responsibility" or "It's to early to tell".

Welcome to your journey of discovering the legendary George Carlin. So much material for you to listen to. He is unlike any other who ever performed under the disguise of comedy. Pure genius. I was lucky enough to see one of his shows live back in the mid 90s. He died way too soon. I hope you do more react videos of his stuff ❤️

The scary part is that it still rings true today. He barely woke anyone up and made zero difference.

George had a strong work ethic, he punched a clock when he was writing. Every word was chosen with purpose. Hours and hours of work go into a 1 hour special. He treated his profession as a job, and took it seriously. He did other things, his books were fun, I liked Brain Droppings. He also acted in a few films. He's Rufus from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. But he was always a comic first, that was his passion. I always wished I could have seen him live. His career is interesting to look back on. First, he was a young and clean cut in a nice suit, his stuff wasn't edgy or vulgar. Then the sixties hit, the suit went away, the hair got long, and the material more suggestive. Then came the 7 dirty words. I think that bit is what made him a house hold name. I love all his stuff. Simple bits like "things we have in common" or "stuff" or "The planet is fine" are some of my favorites.

...or in the case of these ultra-wealthy parasites...vampires... Guys like Bezos and Musk could be spending FRACTIONS of their wealth on simple things like food and shelter for the hungry and homeless and almost single-handedly eliminate such problems. Estimates from HUD (Housing and Urban Development) put the figure at about $20 billion per year to end homelessness in the US and non-profit Hunger Free America puts a $25 billion per year price on ending US hunger. The issue isn't that the COUNTRY doesn't have enough money, it's that the INDIVIDUALS in poverty don't have enough money. Unfortunately, since we are inculcated into these ideas of rugged individualism, unregulated free markets, and the myth of the self-made man (The pulling yourself up by your bootstraps principle) we continue to always look the other way when we see these people obviously struggling just to stay alive by begging on street corners and living in tent cities... I always find it funny when people unironically use "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps." Hey moron, you do know the saying is actually an argument AGAINST your position, right? Go sit on the floor and try to pull yourself to a standing position using only the straps on your shoes...literally impossible, the point where you are applying force need to be in the direction you wish to go, so you would need to pull yourself up using something that is above you...and I don't mean to be cheesy but...oh, something like maybe...the outstretched hand of another citizen who recognizes the dire threat and difficulty of that climb out of poverty and so then lends their strength to yours as you work together to overcome the obstacle... Imagine if some of these ultra wealthy people (Or god forbid, the government they control) took it upon themselves to eradicate the need for such a humiliating, physically debilitating, and mentally destabilizing state of existence (A state that, once you enter, becomes extremely difficult to climb back out of without massive support, you gotta have money to make money, as the saying goes)...We'd be building statues to them all over the place and every history book would mark the day when the few took up the cause of the many for BASIC provisions for living a modern life... Their praises would be sung to the farthest shore and they would be immortalized forever for their good works...but no, they'd rather hoard all that capital because that's what they have been taught in this cut-throat system that exists in America...Capitalism infects people with a mind virus, one that kills empathy and fosters greed...sorry to rant, it's just that life could be so much better for so many people for, what? 10% of the money held by an individual in the oligarchic elite...Bill Gates just made a cool $23 billion over the last year through his software, especially profitable in remote learning.

What’s really interesting, is the fact that there are living human beings who are barely being introduced to the brilliance of George Carlin, a world renowned entertainer since the 1960’s and ‘70’s. The greatest gift that this man bestowed upon those of us who understood his brazen style personality, was that he spoke a unique language called “the truth”. R.I.P. my enlightened friend!

I saw him in '98 in Vegas , he had an hour special about every year on HBO and worked on it there. He apologized at the beginning that he may have to check notes but it was seamless. Most comedians could barely fill a half hour in their career and he had fresh hour every year, Genius. But it was like a speech or maybe a philosophy professor. Some think he got meaner as he aged but to me he just got more real and legend status of being free to say what he really thought. RIP

The seven words you can't say on television should be the next one. It is absolutely perfect. He sounds so put together because he put everything down on paper. All his shows were memorized, the were no improvised moments. From hello to thanks for coming to the show everything was in his head exactly the way he wanted to say it. If you went to the same tour in different cities you would get the exact same show. And yes he was raunchy but he also cared very deeply about people and the words he used were what he thought would get through to them. Also if you want a completely different view of the man he was the Conductor on Thomas the Tank Engine.

All his performances starts with a funny, controversial and borderline rude bit that slowly changes into philosophy and enlightenment. He lures you in with humor and then pounces you with hard truths. The man is a truly great speaker, he hooks you, chews a bit and spits out a better person.

George Carlin went beyond comedy and is a great American social philosopher. He went from a night club act in the late 50’s and early 60’s to one of the most popular comedy acts from the late 60’s onward. By the mid-to-late 90’s some of his best work was social commentary. Even his classic bit, “a place for your stuff,” from the 80’s has some of that questioning of materialism.

This was in 2005. He died in 2008. RIP George Carlin, the greatest comedic philosopher of our time.

this man's philosophical cynicism inspired me to question everything and base my decisions on my personal values and never take what i'm told to think or believe at face value. to think and research before forming an opinion, and to be willing to grow and evolve as a person with a brain

These reactions are the best ! George Carlin was my favorite comedian ever, it's like he's teaching or lecturing whenever he steps on stage. Peace !

I loved George Carlin and my dad did too, it was very sad when he passed. I thought he was so smart. This segment you reviewed is perfect for this day and age and I wonder what George would say if he was here still about everything going on. Thanks for your amazing videos! I love your voice too and am glad I found your channel.

He became popular in the 70’s. Passed away in 2008. Watch as many of his performances as you can not to react to, for your own pleasure. The man has always told the truth, no matter how hard it was to hear it. Tackled every topic and did not care whether you liked what he said or not. A true genius. Some people have called him the greatest philosopher of our time, I can’t disagree. If only more people would have listened.

George Carlin either you get him or you don’t. The moderator doesn’t get him. Just listen no need to comment!

Remember Thomas the train, George Carlin is the conductor. That blew my mind when I figured that out. Great content on the channel

... and in a truly symbolic gesture they replaced George Carlin with Ringo fucking Starr. The drummer for a pop band whose achievement was, according to the others members in the band, "... Not only wasn't the best drummer in the world, wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles" [paraphrased]. Ringo's supporters (namely drummers tired of being mad fun of by musicians and fans alike) countered with the retort that he was very consistent. There you go, Carlin's replacement was a guy who was at best consistent at beating on shit for a pop band. Carlin's passing was such a loss for anyone who listened to his material or read his books and mostly unnoticed by everyone not keen enough to understand he was talking about them.

Ringo Starr was the original narrator of Thomas the Tank Engine for most of the English speaking world, since 1984. George did voice overs for America in the 90’s. Both of them have been long since replaced by other voice actors. For the record, I think they are both great.

@@Sousyned I have just three comments regarding this information: One, thanks for the info. I feel a bit silly not knowing that. Two, thanks for killing my joke and credibly. 🤣 Three, that show is still on?! Oh, and as a side note, I stand by everything I said about Ringo as a musician, but I'm bit biased being a Bonham fan (I know they were friends until John's untimely death even though they had vastly different styles; I'm speaking stylistically here). Even the bits that are demonstrably incorrect. 😉

@@ScottLovenberg that’s fair. I have a little bit of a soft spot for poor Ringo as a musican and as person, both because of the Thomas the Tank nostalgia and because he’s copped so much shit for so many years 😂 Like most things, I suspect they’ll keep re-making poor Thomas till the heat death of the universe or it stops making money. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s probably due for a gritty re-boot any day now. 🤣

There's just so much to enjoy from his content! I really like "Abortion + Sanctity of life", "Death and aging", "Religion is bullsh*T", "Washington Talk" and all of his random rants about things that pisses him off. There's always one random spree of calculated attacks on stupid people/things in every show and those are all hilarious!

A quite exceptionally intelligent human being, shining a light in the darkness.

I was fortunate to grow up in the era of George Carlin. His perspective and spoken word philosophy/comedy greatly influenced my senses of interconnectedness and ubiquitous absurdity. Many times since his passing I have said aloud, “I wonder what George would think of this?” knowing that he’d most likely say, “Well… same as it ever was. Ain’t that something? Try and make the best of it.“

George recorded an album the day before 9/11 and decided not to release it due to the name of the special being: *I kind of like it when a lot of people die* It was finally released around 5 years ago. You should check it out

My favorite is "Airline Announcements " Keep up the good work. When I got into reaction videos YOU SIR were the very first person I encoutered.

I'm going to second this nomination. His airline skit isn't as politically enlightened as this, but it is pure comedic gold.

George Carlin WAS a genius! His performances make you really think, and that's so important.

My brother always says that -- "it's a big club, and you ain't in it". The most amazing thing is George Carlin died in 2008 -- 14 years ago. He was prescient, I swear. Or maybe just really smart. Like Bob Dylan said, "You don't need a weatherman to know which was the wind blows." Thanks for a great video!

I really enjoyed that one,it's been awhile since I've watched George Carlin.It also reminds me of when I used to watch Bill Hicks.Great people.Thanks for showing it.

Carlin absolutely was a genius. One of my all time favorite bits from him is about ending prison overpopulation.

My ex and I became big fans of Carlin in the 70s and I love his comedy to this day. He was truly ahead of his time. This amazing man brought clarity through comedy...in my view. If you're interested...he was a car hop with quite a few lines in a 1969 Doris Day movie...called 'With Six You Get Eggroll' check it out.

I LOVE George....he does not give a flying F who he offends....but he will give you a very brutal educational experience while offending you. Can't argue with that...he is dead on and I love it. RIP Mr Carlin!

For his great teaching skits like this one you gotta do the “You Have No Rights” bit. Also “religion is BS” is a classic divisive one. Also for just funny skits, try “7 dirty words” and “Things we have in Common.”

Absolutely loved your reactions to Carlin. Keep them coming! Oh, and suggestion wise.. I thoroughly like all of his material (even have his audiobooks at the ready, if i need to wind back with some hilarious insights). But the newer stuff he did was probably more controversial than the earlier ones ;)

Love the reaction man. I'm super glad you love this guys mind. I was in high school when he "died". I wanted to see this show. I was just 18 and I would have be able to. Ugh, RIP to a legend.

This was from George's last HBO stand up special. March 2008

Death Penality bit from Carlin is a classic!

We need to see some wheeler walker jr. On this channel!

One of my greatest memories is seeing George Carlin do a full set live. Amazing.

I grew up on George Carlin. My dad would play his vinyl albums and 4 year old me was sucking it all up. He is #1 to me. Richard Pryor, Sam Kinnison and Gene Tracy were awesome runners up. I learned all of the lessons George was trying to teach. Maybe that is why people think I am a bit suspicious of everything. Another great comedian was Frank Zappa but he spoke his words of wisdom through music. Try listening to I'm the Slime by FZ or Camarillo Brillo or Dina Mo Hum.

Carlin had been a god for 40 years. He picked up the torch left by Lenny Bruce - but was ten times funnier than LB ever was.

One thing that really made me gravitate toward George Carlin is how like minded he is with my own views on things. But his ability to communicate those views is outstanding. But the sad thing is, nothing has really changed. His words even apply to today, easily.

His words are becoming more and more true with each passing day... George Carlin was a visionary and he was an excellent comedian! I haven't heard one thing from him that wasn't true and has not become so even more with the passage of time... The look on people's faces now during the Covid pandemic when George goes into his population control via viruses thing is just priceless... Even though he is speaking of the HIV and AIDS, it still rings home hard in 2020's.

that look on your face throught this video is adding so much to the comedy. Thank you, that was 10x more funny than what I always feel, when seeing George Carlin. I appreciate people who can take a joke and understand that it's a joke.

George Carlin was a Genius, Prophet, and Philosopher. One in 100 billion.

Love this particular content, keep it up good sir.

I’m enjoying your George Carlin reactions keep them coming! You must react to his “religion is bullshit” routine!

Is a long line to want a conversation with this man! Im hoping heaven is real and of he's not their im going where he is! 😇 Much respect to you for watching it and enjoying him and allowing him to teach you as he did ask of all of us! 💖💖💖

This was June, 2008, and he is the philosopher who I live my life by!!

was hoping for more carlin, thank you

I specifically enjoy this specific type of content.

Just stumbled across your channel, I love your vibe. George Carlin was one of the greatest minds of his generation. Not just comedicslly, but intellectually, philosophically. I think the next reaction to his work should be his bit about language and how it's used to skew perception. It's masterful.

Been waiting for you to get to George. I was very interested in how you were going to react to him especially this bit. Didn't disappoint. Really enjoy listening to your thoughtful reactions. Great work. Respect from the UK

Yes, he is a genius. Loved George since the 1960's, but he became too bitter and ranting for me to enjoy towards the end. His great stuff was wordplay "Park on a driveway and Drive on a parkway" greatness. Strangely, I felt, before I knew about Cosby's real terrible life, that he also became too bitter and ranting and I gave up on him too. Clever, I love, bitter and for me, without humor, not.

I had the same reaction. He became way too serious in his later years and I no longer liked his comedy.

Out of everything you react to I think George Carlin may be the one I’m most excited to see more of. I love the intelligence you bring to reactions and seeing you react to George Carlin’s work is a wonderful experience.

I was incredibly fortunate to have seen him live in 2000, at the Coach USA Center in Hellmira, NY. He's always been my favorite "comedian", But moreover, He's always been my favorite Commentator. Rest In Peace, Mr. Carlin.

Even though shopping malls are slowly dying off, all the other stuff is still has dandy as ever. Wish I was alive to have met this "man for the people".
