That is a shame. He was an outspoken opponent of censorship. One of my favorite comedians. |

I remember my father used to have a bathroom-reader compilation of his best quotes. Appropriately, it was kept in the bathroom.
The guy was (mostly) funny and original. Sad news that he's passed.

That's truly bad news. In his day, he was funny and innovative.
I remember his Hippy Dippy Weatherman from the Smothers Brothers. One night he said something about a fire in the fields in Kansas was setting off a high moving across the Midwest. My parents just shook their heads and said, "Why is everyone laughing?"
It was my mom who came out on the front porch one afternoon, sniffed around and said, "Who's burning rubber tires?" George would have loved my mom. |

Surely the only time I'll ever get away with saying the "F" word
in front of my mum.
"I'm really fucking bummed."
She and her crowd are late sixty-somethings.

Yes, he was a groundbreaker.
He was of course responsible for the landmark "Seven dirty words you can't say on TV" U.S. Supreme Court case after a father heard his monologue on Listener-sponsored, non-commercial New York Pacifica Radio flagship station WBAI while driving home one afternoon.
He told it like it was.

This totally sucks. As an English teacher out here, I've always appreciated his grasp of the nuances of the language:
Quote: |
Flight attendant: We would like to begin the pre-boarding process.
Carlin: Pre-boarding process? How the hell can you get on before you get on?
Flight attendant: It's now time to get on the plane.
Carlin: Get on the plane?! *beep* you! I'm getting IN the plane. Let Evil Kanevil get ON the plane. |
Paraphrasing there, but i believe i got the gist of it;)[/code] |

What's with guys washing their hands after they use the bathroom?
If it's about cleanliness, then you might as well pull your *beep* out and give it a good scrubbing while you're at it.
-Brain Droppings
What's with this paying respect to the dead? *beep* the dead! What about the injured? And why a moment of silence? A moment of screaming in terror seems far more appropos.
AHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Carlin said
"....there are a lot of really fucking stupid people walking around."
"And some people are not stupid, they are full of sh*t."
Could not agree more. Many of them on this forum.
"And some people think the answer to everything is more education."
The problem with most 'not too bright' people is their education.
