I was shocked right now to see on the MSN page that good ol' George Carlin died today at the age of 71! You old school people might remember him; I thought he was witty and told the truth. Comedy is a strange business. Here's to you, George, and the 10 (or was it more) things you can't say on tv! (well, South Park didn't exist back then) Goodnight!:D

I think it was 7. RIP George.

I also believe it was seven.

Bu-bye, Rufus! :o

He made EOH LOL tons when watching his comedy specials.. very intelligent man... hippy, but intelligent.

R.I.P.

George Carlin obit (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080623/ap_on_en_tv/obit_george_carlin)

"Why do they lock gas station bathrooms?" he once mused. "Are they afraid someone will clean them?"

:tears::tears::tears:

He made EOH LOL a lot

:tears::tears::tears:

Fuck .... Such sad news. An absolute genius, one of the forefathers of alternative American comedy. He will be sorely missed.

Oh fuck, another great man dies. I was lucky enough to have been raised around the Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television. :(

RIP George. :tears: This truely is horrible news. I always wanted my father to meet him. Not because my dad was his biggest fan, but because I think they are pretty much the same person. If there is one person more sarcastic, insulting, and cynical than my dad, it was Carlin. Perhaps Mr. Skinner should take over for him. Looks just like him too.

Very sad news. I think one of the first shows he was on was The Flip Wilson Show. I'm pretty sure most of you here don't know that show since it was on back in the late 1960s. You should check it out on YouTube if there are any clips. George Carlin was so clean cut looking back then. Didn't he also have a show a few years ago on FOX. As I remember it was good. I'll try to remember what the name of the show was.

Very, very sad day. :tears:

Carlin was a genius - we quote him all the time around here.

A real free-thinker, and a thorn in the side of mass stupidity, mediocrity and hypocrisy. He was one excellent American. :guitar:

If there were an afterlife, he would be hanging out with Bill Hicks and Ambrose Bierce, I'm sure.

Damn, I'm gonna miss him. :tears:

I'm glad I got to see him perform live.

I quoted him here like 2 days ago.


Anaesthesine pretty much summed up my thoughts excactly... even the Hicks/Bierce and the "if there were an afterlife" part is right on.

I'm old enough to remember The Flip Wilson show ("The Devil Made Me Do It!" LOL you're right; George Carlin WAS clean cut looking. I don't remember the name of the show on Fox either but maybe Wiki has listings. Goodness, the Flip Wilson show reminds me of the Smothers Brothers :p

Oh man, sad news. He was ridiculously funny.

Very sad news.

My favorite memory as a child was my older brother playing a borrowed version of his comedy album "Class Clown" while my parents were out of the house.

Funny stuff.

Hahaha we can only hope.

So sad, I heard it on the radio this morning while driving into work, loudly *gasped* then felt very :( I told my dh tonight and his reaction was a gasp and an "OMG!"

George was unique -a favorite comedian of so many and a great comic curmudgeon :p. Look at his website ('revised' 7 famous words) http://www.georgecarlin.com/home/home.html aww...

RIP and let 'er rip, GC ;)

Can someone explain to me what happened to Carlin's voice over the years. I first saw him in Bill & Ted back in '88 and then the next time I see him in the early 90's he sounded so different. It's always bugged me.

HA! p.s. I cannot stand Keanu. That is all.

Keanu's oscar-winning Performance in Parenthood has inspired a generation of children to keep masturbating.

Can't we go back to bagging on Keanu? I think George would like that.

Thx... he is a middle aged guy who hates EOH because he hasn't been able to get to EOH at all... EOH just lets it all roll off his skin... :D

this rivalry has been going on since Oct last year... and getting more and more heated <333

I was shocked to hear that he passed away. He was so funny and he'll be missed.

Keanu can't act his way out of a paper bag. I get so embarrassed for him.

Well, at least we now have South Park which pretty much covers them!

A tragedy. Carlin was truly a genius. One of the greats. :tears:

You of all people can take that bastard. Just do what you're doing; let it roll of your skin. People like that are nothing but worthless cheese dicks. (yes i said that.) EOH is a lover, not a fighter. :D

I really want to know how he gets work, considering he's neither Jewish nor Scientologist.

Thanks for posting these Corrissey. I am a Ghost sent them to me and I meant to post them but completely forgot. I will certainly tune in for as much as I can.

Well, I spaced posting it yesterday as there were some shows on HBO2 last night, as well.

p.s., isn’t the “Butterscotch Stallion” Owen Wilson?

You are correct. Although I am not a fan of said stallion, I thought the phrase was wonderful and I promptly stole it. viva bourdain!
