Comedian George Carlin dead at age 71

I loved his political commentaries in his stand-up performances.

 

So did I, but his views on religion were what really made me ROTFL.

Peace, man. I will miss you.

 

I loved his comparison of football and baseball--that's one of my favorite bits of his. He was a master of observational humor, and had a keen ear for language. RIP, George. Or maybe "Give 'em hell" would be more appropriate.

 

I loved when he did the hippie dippy weatherman. "the radar is also picking up a squardon of Russian ICBM's so I wouldn't sweat the thunderstorms" ROFLMAO!

 

I'm in mourning
Rest in Peace George,

 

Was it the hippy weatherman, or maybe he was doing a news anchor, when he instroduced his newscast:

"Good evening, it's 6:00 in NY, 5:00 in Chicago, 3:00 in LA, and [in a funky sort of voice] in Baltimore it's 4:27."

I was in college in Wash., DC & in those days, Baltimore was the butt of every other joke. (absolutely no offense meant for anyone in Balt!)

 

I think he was a genius. I'm very sad today.

 

knew him personally and when he would come into my store in west la, i couldnt stop laughing even if he was being serious, which i dont think he ever was RIP GC

 

:frown::frown::frown:

 

My reaction: F--k. S--t. (etc.)

 

Bye, George. We'll miss you.

 

Carlin was the best. By far my favorite, most intelligent, witty, irreverent, life-loving comedian. He will be missed. We've lost far too many great ones in this godforsaken year. 2008 has sucked.

 

Damn. I loved his comedy. 71 is way too young to go.

 

Okay, so what are the seven things we can't post on PriusChat?

Tom

 

One of the greats! What a year. Why can't this shit happen to Paris Hilton or some other useless celebrity? I guess God loved him too much and needed some comedy up in the sky :lol:

 

An especially sad day, he was one of the great commentators on life. He called them as he saw them and took no garbage from anyone.

 

:clap2:
:cheer2:
:flame:
:rapture:

He was funny in the 70's and then just became a bitter old man. He believed in nothing and returns to that. The world is a happier and funnier place now that he is gone. Not evil, but even given all the money he made in his life, I would rather be poor than have his attitude.

 

Geez, Devil, remind us not to die on your watch.

We've been reminiscing around the office already. The current favourite is a line from Seven Words You Can't Say on TV: "Tits isn't a bad word. Tits are a snack!"
