gotsthedewsdood: George Carlin

savagecabbage 04.15.11	arlin. Early work is enlightening, latter career sobering. The king is gone but not forgotten. Gotta give lenny bruce props, without him there may not have been George.
Defeater 04.16.11	Fuckin' meow.
FreePizzaDay 04.16.11	I'm not sure as far as stand-up goes but I love Charlie Chaplin. Google's commemoration of his birthday reminded me how great he was.
Trebor17 04.16.11	Jerry Seinfeld
BadgerOverdose 04.16.11	As a Scot, I find Kevin Bridges hilarious.
whywontyoudie 04.16.11	fucking love Carlin, even in his extremely hate-filled later work. but my favorite working comedian is definitely Brian Regan.
Trebor17 04.16.11	Brian Regen rules. Hate filled?
whywontyoudie 04.16.11	well Carlin's work from like the late 70s and on into the 80s was more just making fun of stuff, not kicking the absolute shit out of it.
andcas 04.16.11	genius is an understatement. carline had the whole world figured out and could hold his own with any issue. still such an extreme blow to the comedy world.
Trebor17 04.16.11	He was just more direct in his later work I guess. Still great.
andcas 04.16.11	carlin truly shined later in his career when he had it with society.
climactic 04.16.11	carlins my fav also
acorncheese 04.16.11	Jerry Seinfeld [2] but also Larry David
whywontyoudie 04.16.11	but all that's left are local cookies... you know.. fucking Jim's Cookies.
Trebor17 04.16.11	Larry David is the fucking boss.
savagecabbage 04.16.11	his view on pollution should be taught in school.
fr33convict 04.16.11	Between the Buried and Me are the best comedians hands down.
climactic 04.16.11	larry david is so much funnier than seinfeld
savagecabbage 04.16.11	carlins view on pollution... for shits sake I type something relevant, submit, and then look like a small child that wanders into a movie.
andcas 04.16.11	carlin's views on everything should be taught in a college class.
fr33convict 04.16.11	I have never thought Jerry Seinfeld was that funny tbh Maybe I should check out more of his stand up or something but idk
foreverendeared 04.16.11	That's because Jerry Seinfeld ISN'T that funny.
andcas 04.16.11	tried multiple times to get into him and i'm not picking up the hype.
acorncheese 04.16.11	that's because fuck you both
Trebor17 04.16.11	George > Kramer > Elaine > Jerry. Still funny though.
ilikeforests 04.16.11	I've got 11 gigs of Carlin on my old laptop and you are all diseased is the probably the best comedy routine I can think of. Bill Hicks is awesome too, and Kanye West
savagecabbage 04.16.11	his books are awesome.
CrisStyles 04.16.11	Dave Chappelle, though I enjoyed Mitch Hedburg's delivery the best.
andcas 04.16.11	his last book about his whole career right up to his death is so intriguing.
acorncheese 04.16.11	Hedburg wash ilarious
andcas 04.16.11	*hedberg
acorncheese 04.16.11	fuck
whywontyoudie 04.16.11	watch Dave Chappelle on Inside The Actor's Studio.
andcas 04.16.11	I saw this wino who was eating grapes, and I said, "Dude, you have to wait".
savagecabbage 04.16.11	Lenny Bruce was talking about shit before anybody. fucking O.G.
andcas 04.16.11	has anyone even mentioned richard pryror yet?
MetallicOpeth 04.16.11	I find seinfeld way overrated
ilikeforests 04.16.11	I remember the day Carlin died, me and a friend were walking into an exam and I said "dude :(" and he said "I know man...I know..." and the rest of the day was shit
FreePizzaDay 04.16.11	Seinfeld is great, but Curb Your Enthusiasm is way better.
andcas 04.16.11	mitch fatel is pretty hilarious with his sexual humor.
qwe3 04.16.11	billy connolly peter cook
qwe3 04.16.11	oh and lenny bruce fuck yeah
AngelofDeath 04.16.11	Carlin is genius, I must agree. Fuck yeah qwe for Billy Connolly. Hmm, guess my other faves would be... Chappelle Hedberg Brian Regan
gotsthedewsdood 04.16.11	i think carlins later stuff though bitter, was alot more meaningful. 'it's called the american dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.'
ilikeforests 04.16.11	for real though why hasn't anyone mentioned Bill Hicks? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRkA6zugNMQ watch them allllll
savagecabbage 04.16.11	Because Carlin owns. Hicks is great, but kind of a go to for tool and radiohead fanboys. Maybe not all the time, but the majority of the time it's "Bill Hicks, fuck yeah, fucking 3rd eye changed my life....." Nothing against those bands, but they did help launch him to cult status. Rant in E minor will always be one of my favorites, regardless of tool. Not the greatest post, I know. fuck it.
ilikeforests 04.16.11	i literally have never heard or considered any association between bill hicks and those bands. he's an awesome comedian I stumbled upon 'cause I heard Carlin praise him in an interview. who cares if he preaches? he's absolutely mental
savagecabbage 04.16.11	We've laid a stereotype to rest tonight. Hicks is fucking hilarious, didn't want you thinking I'm not a fan.
ilikeforests 04.16.11	you're one confusing dude savage, but I think I'll try getting into tool now.
foreverendeared 04.16.11	Well, Tool quotes Bill Hicks often, so that's why people often associate the two together.
ilikeforests 04.16.11	ah wikipedia confirms. I think I should actually sample some tool 'cause they seem to be one of those bands everybody knows at least something about.
Aids 04.16.11	George Carlin is easily my favourite comedian of all-time. It's not even close.
iwubmoosik 04.16.11	Bill Fuckin' Burr.
Hawks 04.16.11	Dave Chappelle is probably my favorite. Others I can think of off the top of my head would be Dane Cook, Nick Swardson, Greg Giraldo, Katt Williams, and Chris Rock.
Aids 04.16.11	why?... why?... why?... why?... why?... why?... why?... Why? Why is it that most of these people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place? this is my response next time Kimm talks to me about abortion
andcas 04.16.11	or "not every ejaculation deserves a name"
Hawks 04.16.11	Oh, and Eddie Murphy's stand-up is also some of my favorite stuff. Raw and Delirious are hilarious.
Ire 04.16.11	patton oswalt, eugene mirman, doug benson and mitch hedberg are my faves.
andcas 04.16.11	eddie murphy killed his stand up career with his awful movies.
Trebor17 04.16.11	Ire digs the alternative comedy. Hell yeah.
Hawks 04.16.11	I completely agree Andcas. It's really a shame.
Dryden 04.16.11	mitch hedberg aw ya
andcas 04.16.11	not a lot of people remember he was on the 1st season of that 70's show.
Trebor17 04.16.11	Mitch Hedberg R.I.P.
UnnamedOcean 04.16.11	Sadly I started getting into Carlin right after he died. I've watched all of his material that I can find and I love him. He couldn't have been any more right with the things he said.
Inveigh 04.16.11	yeah Dave Chappelle's two stand-up DVDs make me fucking laugh until I cry, no matter how many times I watch them Hedberg and Oswalt are two favorites as well. Jim Norton, Ron White, Lewis Black and Greg Giraldo can all be funny sometimes.
AngelofDeath 04.16.11	"yeah Dave Chappelle's two stand-up DVDs make me fucking laugh until I cry, no matter how many times I watch them" This so much.
andcas 04.16.11	kevin hart cracks me the hell up.
Trebor17 04.16.11	Dave Chappelle needs to come back. I can only watch his two dvds so much.
Ire 04.16.11	"yeah Dave Chappelle's two stand-up DVDs make me fucking laugh until I cry, no matter how many times I watch them" shit still cracks me up. yeah hedbergs first album is probably my favorite comedy album of the 90s. pattons live at maxwells is very underrated too.
foreverendeared 04.16.11	And not one fucking person mentions Louis C.K. Shame on you guys.
Hawks 04.16.11	"Yeah Oscar, you're a grouch! BITCH I LIVE IN A FUCKING TRASH CAN!"
UnnamedOcean 04.16.11	Hey gais Dane Cook is sooooo funny he does the BK lounge thing and screams a lot and makes me lol so hard hahahahahahaha.
andcas 04.16.11	jim jefferies is so underrated. he reminds me of a australian carlin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZJ-_OTvsqo
Inveigh 04.16.11	fuck, foreverendeared is right. Louis C.K. is the shit.
Dev518 04.16.11	Probably Carlin and Louis C.K. I always liked Carlin's observations about the world, although I disagreed with him on a lot of his conclusions. Louis C.K. is just really funny.
andcas 04.16.11	@unnamedocean, I don't find him funny at all but I respect the dude for going through some tough personal shit and remaining professional.
Wolfhorde 04.16.11	German cabaret artist Hagen Rether.
Trebor17 04.16.11	Any Paul F. Tompkins fans out there?
andcas 04.16.11	he doesn't do anything for me.
Ire 04.16.11	paul f tompkins is awesome
UnnamedOcean 04.16.11	I'm not sure about you people but I enjoy Ricky Gervais as well. His bit on Noah's ark is good.
Trebor17 04.16.11	Ricky Gervais for sure.
andcas 04.16.11	ricky gervais and jim jefferies are my favorite atheist comics alive.
MetallicOpeth 04.16.11	Frank Caliendo all that way.
andcas 04.16.11	only mildly funny when he does certain impressions. his stand up alone is weak.
MetallicOpeth 04.16.11	yea that was the first I had seen from him, he's got some decent stand-up imo
Hawks 04.16.11	Frank Caliendo's impression of John Madden is fucking priceless.
Ire 04.16.11	ricky gervais urghh
andcas 04.16.11	you don't like him or something ire?
MetallicOpeth 04.16.11	tobias does wicked standup
Ire 04.16.11	i honestly don't find anything funny about him at all
andcas 04.16.11	that's a shame. he's a smart man. have you tried his new stand up special?
ssttaannzzii 04.16.11	George Carlin is my god.
Knott- 04.16.11	Stewart Lee...
MetallicOpeth 04.16.11	but Top Gear is awesome
JWT155 04.16.11	Bill Hicks...
gotsthedewsdood 04.16.11	iwubmoosik - yeah bill burr is fucking awesome i cry laughing his stuff. i watched bill hicks, he's pretty good
Titan50 04.16.11	Bill Hicks and Eddie Izzard. I like a bit of Carlin too, but I never properly got into him
Pachelbel 04.16.11	Unfortunately the first time I heard his name and listened to his HBO shows was after his death, he is my favorite comedian ever by a large margin.(I listen to"There Is No God" bit on a daily basis:d May his soul rest in peace! My favorite living comedians are Louis CK and Doug Stanhope.
Thane 04.16.11	George Carlin, Larry David, Steven Wright, Ricky Gervais, Andy Kaufman.
foreverendeared 04.16.11	YES I actually specifically came back to this list to say Steven Wright. Thank you, Thane.
MCGF 04.16.11	no love for louie CK? edit: haha nevermind
KILL 04.16.11	bill hicks fosho ricky gervais is awesome but his stand up isnt that great
PaperTigers 04.16.11	David Cross and Louis CK are easily my favorites now that George isn't around anymore.
PaperTigers 04.16.11	David Cross: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5Cm4NxHf7E
astrel 04.16.11	Emo Philips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ab6LWXeNDA
beefshoes 04.16.11	George Carlin is the best comedian of the later half of the 20th century. His work from the last decade was great as well. Bill Hicks is great as well.
