There is so much packed in that eight minutes that I'll still be thinking about it for the following week.

Concur. Carlin is brilliant. I didn't even laugh for the majority of that video because everything he's saying is so true.

Glad it struck a chord.
To the dude who didn't laugh -- Awesome. Carlin is a master of comedy.

Hate to revive an old thread but I'm 2/3rds of the way through this book and I couldn't agree more.

There is no better definition of an elitist pompous snob then someone who complains about others appearances, as if it is a problem because he has to look at them. George Carlin use to be funny now he's just a bitter old man. Like he has a tough job or something. It must be tough working three nights a week and getting up a the crack of noon. When your laughing at Carlins comments just ask yourself, What did these people ever DO to him? And how would you feel if you were one of these people instead of one of the chosen ones on Carlins special good looking people circle.

I few years ago, I heard him go off in a very anti American diatribe. I just cannot get past that where I could find him funny.

I have never found him funny. Crude for sure, but never funny. There is not need to swear to be funny.

Of course. It's Carlin.. I like that irreverent cocky style he has, but this just seemed so....Angry...In this one, he sounds more like a bitter old Henry Rollins, but even more phony..
If this has become his new riff, he's probably not even worth the cheap seats.. You can keep Carlin, I'll take Chris Rock.
