George Carlin RIP

His views on those subjects are well known even by people who found him otherwise funny. I just don’t want that stuff associated with me.

This is totally bogus, dude!

[NCPAC]

That’s why I asked you “IF” it was an attempt at humor.

You explained that it was an attempt at humor - a decidedly and remarkably poor attempt, true - but, according to you, an attempt, nonetheless. I’ll take you word for it.

Maybe you’re right. Maybe in the hands of a talented comedian with stage presence, he/she may have been able to dig up some acid-humor out of the idea behind what you wrote, rather than what you actually did write.

[Doctor Raoul]

God was unavailable for comment. (Carlin would have wanted it that way.)

[fredhead]

I remember his routine on the “f” word, how he wanted to substitute the work “f” for the word kill in all the old movie cliche’s we grew up with:

“Okay Sheriff, we gonna “f” you now. But we gonna “f” you SLOW!”

[ArmstedFragg]

George Carlin was much smarter than the comedian he played on stage. So long to a wise guy...

Well, true. But Brenda was the financial brains of the family. Without her, he'd have been... well... what he was after she was gone.

[Neoncon]

What Captainpaintball wrote is funny, because it's probably true.

[kcvl]

No nearly as miserable a human being as a person who comes into a thread about a comedian's death and says "I don't find him to be funny at all. He sounds like a miserable human being." THAT would be a truely miserable human being.

I'm not the one who thinks making fun of someone's religion and hate for this country are funny. He's was a comedian and I'm supposed to treat him as some type of saint. I don't think so. Deal with it.

What the %$^ &@## is going on. One of my &%$$#@* favorite laugh bringers has passed. It brings me to #$#%&&++ tears, just like his jokes did when they made me laugh so ##$@)(& hard. He will be sorely fu__ing missed.

RIP George.

[Borges]

Carlin is one of those people who probably would have gotten a kick out of just the sorts of arguments going on in this thread.

[MilspecRob]

ROTFLMAO, thanks a bunch!!

[SevenofNine]

OH MONK I did see Ann Coulter guest spot on Tonight Show LOL!

[SevenofNine]

Sad news to wake up to.

A man of intelligent and radical humour as opposed to “comedy” now.

[JRandomFreeper]

He turned bitter after his wife died.

You are right, alot of people do.

They weren't married to any of the women I was married to.

“Tonight’s weather... DARK. Complete darkness throughout the night, with widely scattered light in the morning.”

[meandog]

Hey George, got any more good ones while I'm roasting you...I love a good joke!

[valkyry1]

I still remember the ICBM tracks on his weather map LOL.

Man I swear I saw that way before he was ever known.

[bannie]

He was funny as heck until he started to politicize everything. His gigs just became political lectures...no longer funny.

He gave me lots of laughs early on, though.
