😯 Who’s George Carlin? I LOVE George Carlin!!! He’s one of the most well known stand up comedians of all time. He’s so angry and witty and dammit! I’m so upset he died! I love him!!!

Geeze, someone already made a youtube obituary. That was quick…he was 71 years old and still touring!

Before you watch though, he’s a pretty mean and vulgar comic so don’t be offended. 😉

I’ll have to look up some of his stuff. It’s a shame he’s gone.

I didn’t realize he was in his 70’s. I thought he was 60 something.
What did he die from?

Try to find “George Carlin live at Carnegie Hall”

It was one of the first of his that I have seen and MAN it was funny…

Heart failure.. *sniff sniff* he has a lot of heart problems in the past. He’s just one of those people you thought time forgot and would be around forever. I saw him live about 2 years ago and he was starting to really look like his age was catching up with him. My boyfriend and I are going to watch his stand up collection today now to celebrate him.

The shorts I posted in the obituary link are some of his best moments. I love the “saving the world” one and the “airport” LOL!!! 😆 He’s hysterical!

my favorite George Carlin quotes:

1. Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that

2. Honesty may be the best policy, but it’s important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy

3. When someone asks you, “A penny for your thoughts,” and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?

4. Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: “We are the proud parents of a child who’s self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn’t need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car.”

5. So far, this is the oldest I’ve been.

6. The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.

7. Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

Those were funny twinsdragonmum.

He died? Awwww…. 🙁 One less truly funny person in the world, since a lot of today’s comedians need a bit of work. At least the majority of the ones I’ve seen not saying they all are and such, there’s bound to be good ones out there, I’m just….

Oh political correctness sucks.

Truely a great mind. I loved his outside the box thinking. He’ll be missed!

I didn’t know him either. I watched the link you posted, Drag0n. Wow! A perfect mix of education, profound thought and profanity. I love it!

An obviously great mind is gone, but his work will live on.

I really liked the Saving the planet one.

Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.
