Surprisingly enough, no language warning needed.

The only good part of that special in my opinion. I saw that bit live too, when he wrote it only a week or two earlier, and he was good then too.

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

It still blows my mind that we no longer have George Carlin.

It still blows my mind that we no longer have George Carlin. At times, I wonder how he didn't go sooner. The man had three heart attacks between 1978-1991, and had a fourth which led to his death just two years ago. Cocaine abuse will do that to people, plus Carlin had some well-publicized bouts with alcohol addiction, mostly wine, in his later years. |

Genius.
How the f*** would you memorise and deliver something like that flawlessly, let alone write it?!

Carlin is as good and socially relevant as comedy is ever going to get.

I guess I am darker than most. Coast to Coast Emergency is flawless in my opinion, this is a very close second. |

Cocaine abuse will do that to people, plus Carlin had some well-publicized bouts with alcohol addiction, mostly wine, in his later years. Going by the greatness level of Carlin, his age of death should have been at 38, at the latest. We're lucky that unlike most geniuses (with a hard drug problem too) that he didn't go way sooner... |
