Joe Pesci - the villian with the gold tooth in Home Alone, Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas, Vincent in My Cousin Vinny. Most people miss the punchline at the end because it's drowned out by the applause - he says "God bless Joe Pesci... Joe belss you". George and Joe were very good friends and George has said that Joe was one of the funniest people he knew. I believe Joe was at this special.

How does this only have 47 likes as of this reply!? You're speaking so much truth my friend. I grew up in the 90s with my parents originally showing me the magic of this man's comedy. Everything I discovered was just amazing… I feel so lucky I was able to see him in 2008, only a few months before his death on his "it's bad for ya" tour. The best part, it was in my hometown, in a small theater… That made it even more special. My favorite living comedian? Bill Burr without question.

Pretty much on spot there about the Roman Empire. Another reason for Rome's downfall was that Christianity also became at odds with Rome's own past history. Think about it, Rome was a fierce conqueror before Christ, but Christ wasn't preaching anything of the sort. And I don't think Christ was in favor of slavery either. But even so at times the Church did have wars in the name of God/Christianity and recruited people for their armies to wage it as well. The crusades was another thing that the church began and supported, etc.

Its irrelevant to say a religion causes conflict often conflict since the roman empire as been based on threat to elite power structures, also defining every religious doctrines as a new category of "Religion" removes any anaylses of these supposedly conclicts that may be in religion as not all religions share philosphy and even our own atheists philospher are still rooting in christian foundations

George Carliin was a legend and I was lucky enough to see him perform live. One of my favorite experiences ever. George Carlin was would have been funny no matter what he talked about because he was a funny guy. But what made him a genius was his clear-eyed view of people and the way the world works. He used his comedy as social commentary. He was unique and I still miss having him in the world.

That quote is paraphrased. The actual quote is "and no religion too" as a follow up lyric near the end of the second verse of Lennon's song 'Imagine'. Anyway, as a fellow atheist I have to encourage you to not spread facts that aren't so accurate. Most people have died in wars, most of which were for territory, control, greed, expansionist ideals of regimes and power hungry leaders. Many people have died in the name of religion, but when factoring all causes of deaths throughout history, religion was only one factor in the wars that caused the most deaths, it was not the sole factor nor primary factor and it was not the leading factor for the majority of wars nor what caused the majority of them. For the majority of wars, again, it was mainly kingdoms or empires where the regime or leader in power had been power hungry to expand, to take advantage of other people's lands and resources, to enslave (for labour or sexual purposes), and of course, to enrich themselves. For those who were at the helm of these kingdoms, the lives of their people meant little, much less those of foreign people. Instead of spreading misinformation, how about we as positive atheists focus on spreading information that actually IS correct when looking at the statistics, like how most of the more secular countries (ex. Finland, Norway, Denmark, Australia) fare better on a variety of metrics (healthcare, education, economy, overall happiness and other metrics) compared to more religious countries like the USA, Arab countries, and most of Africa.

HI FROM UK. I DON'T NORMALLY COMMENT THOUGH I'M A LONG-TIME SUBSCRIBER BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT MY RESPECT FOR YOU GUYS JUST DOUBLED.

George and actor Joe Pesci (Home Alone, My Cousin Vinny, Goodfellas) were good friends in real life.

My wife and I had the privilege to see him live. He was as close to perfection as you can get.

I absolutely love George Carlin he was a combination of comedian and philosopher!

I got real lucky in 1972 and got to see George live in a small club in San Diego. Great memories from my Navy days. He was the best at what he did I wish he was still with us.

George was an absolute genius. Decades later his comedy still remains relevant.

One of my favorite routines of his. Thx Couple Crib!!

George Carlin was not just a brilliant comedian but he was a courageous philosopher. The great HLMenken said "Religion was invited the day the first con man met the first fool."

Joe Pesci is an actor probably best known for his roles in many Martin Scorsese films where he usually plays characters who are tough and very violent. Of course, he's also known for his roles in the "Home Alone" movies as one of the pair of goofs who tries to be tough. He was friends with Carlin and was in the audience on the night this video was recorded, which is why Carlin featured him.

I enjoyed your discussion 😊

I'm 61 years old and George Carlin was just a comedian on a different level. His head scratchy material made your brain bleed afterwards.

He would be cancelled and targeted today. Not because what he said, but what he would say today. We need more people like George Carlin. "God" bless him ;)

I'm 68 yrs old, have followed George my whole life....and he is a Sage, and, may even be, a prophet.

George Carlin dropped out of school to become a comedian, but he was clearly so intelligent that he didn't need to graduate. He was a great communicator that could always present complicated and uncomfortable truths in a way that others could understand. It would never be an unwise move to peruse his portfolio.

You're right. George Carlin was the voice of reason. I don't know if you've watched his 10 Commandments video, but I think you would like it.

George started in the sixties and was a master wordsmith ,his evolution was a such a joy to follow. I was 11 years old when I bought his first album it was perfect for the era . Joe Pesci was an actor who was in a lot of Mafia movies. His characters were often bombastic ☮️

Carlin told it right out! A master of language & its use. I've listened to Carlin for decades & he always makes me laugh & impressed with his cadence.

Yes the marx quote I always think about! Great video and conversation!

it’s often said church is just a place for people to one up their neighbors in fashion.. that was the context of the joke when he says no building we show up to once a week to compare clothing

I remember watching this when it aired on HBO back in the 1990's

One of my favourite George Carlin stand up bits. Love your talk & reaction 👍

Love your reaction and your viewpoint💙💙😃😃

5:40 He's talking about the age old phenomenon of criticising what other people wore to church. You may have heard the term "Sunday best" this refers to wearing your best clothes to attend church for Sunday service. Well unfortunately some people still choose to judge people by what they wear rather than what's in their heart. My culture has a similar thing when it comes to criticising someone's wedding you've been invited to. I've never understood it since I was a child but they typically complain about the venue or the food. It's very petty and I've always hated that aspect of my culture.

Hi The Couple Crib, great reaction to the GOAT George Carlin :) he's the best!

This is the third video I’ve seen from you guys, love the energy and video choices. Subbed. Peace from England

"Joe bless you!" is the last line in this clip (the one that most people react to) and I think it is brilliant.

George presents things in a way that makes people think... "Wow, I never thought of it that way" thereby giving people a totally different perspective they hadn't considered before. When I saw you were a Lebanese couple I decided I'd just watched you for awhile before making any kind of judgments, but then the young lady said 'I like the title' and I was happy I decide to watch your reaction. It gives me hope that there are people of reason in all parts of the world.

The sketch you're playing from George Carlin were originally live from New York sell out performances and on HBO specials then they break up these little segments into smaller performances

The going to church to compare clothes rang so true to me. I got baptized when I was 17. I was attending a Catholic school at the time. But I was going to mass at school with other students. You know,people who dressed and looked like me. Then I graduated and found myself having to go to mass at a church. So arrived at 8 am on Sunday and saw all the people in their absolute best suits and dresses. It never occurred to me that I was wearing jeans and a tee shirt. So at mass I literally sat by myself. Not a single person sat within 10 feet of me. That's when I realized that religion and church were bullshit. I left and have not gone back since.

Great reaction!. George spoke the truth,he was a genius. Peace, love and respect you both.❤

This is why George is still GOAT! He got water melon sized steel BALLS. And when they tried to shut him down, he took them all the way to the US Supreme court and gave them an ass beatdown they never forget. It's one of the reasons so many comedians today look up to him as an inspiration. As one atheist to another, may you rot in peace, we will never see you again. Thank you for the memories and wisdom.
