George got incredibly bitter toward the end of his life, but he could still nail it when he wanted to. This is one of those.

His last couple of TV specials showed a rapid decline in his comedic ability. He denounced school dress codes, saying, “The last time I heard that suggested, it was in German.” It was really sad hearing the great George Carlin repeat something I’d seen years before on bumper stickers. His bitter rant about children recording the family voice mail message, and some bizarre sidetrack into picking and eating your own skin, were no better. I guess it’s like when a great musician makes one album too many.
