It's Carlin - LANGUAGE
Hilarious!
good find
George Carlin would have made a great surgeon general.
Carlin at his finest.
Carlin also didn’t believe in this Climate Change hooey.
The best Carlin routine for today is the one on the ruling elites and deep state operatives and how the average citizen has no say in our government. Spot on.
“It’s a Big Club, and you ain’t in it!”
I must admit he got too “angry at God” in his later years for me to enjoy him as much as I used to.
THANK YOU...ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
(...yes, I was yelling...)
A classic.
“I used to be Irish Catholic. Now I’m an American. You know—you grow!”Carlin’s antipathy towards religion goes back quite early in his career.
— From “Class Clown”, 1972
He got that part right.
But those early routines weren’t nearly as mean-spirited as later on.
I loved the bit where he talked about the kids wanting to go to confession with “Father Rivera”, because he didn’t really seem to understand the sins. “In and out, three “Hail, Mary’s”, you’re back on the street with Father Rivera, man.”
I must admit though, it was funny when he went on Mad TV, and did the “Touched By an Angel” parody, “Touched by an Atheist”.
Antipathy is one thing. Carlin became virulently anti-God later on in his life. I believe he suffered the death of his wife (or was it a daughter). That turned him
Maybe it would be more accurate to say he became virulently anti-religionists
Making fun of TV preachers isn’t anti-religious. Most of them are con men, who deserve it.
And even Catholics could laugh at Carlin’s early routines, like the one about Father Rivera. But that tone definitely changed, and I don’t think Carlin really was an atheist, he just didn’t like the way God did things. He wanted the “Big Electron”, that thing that was like God, but not judgemental.
Those that dwell in darkness would rather curse God than light a candle (or, better stated, turn on the Light of the world.)
I always go by the principle “Many a true word is spoken in jest”, so looking at the continuum of his lifetime, it appears deep-seated to me.
Funny how humans like that think it’s fair for themselves to be judgmental but not the God who made everything.
