George Carlin On His Standup Persona - Archive Interview

BlackthornBurial Says:

Nov 3, 2008 - ah, dumbasses...? taht's prettymuch what standup comedy is: ranting. the difference between some asshole in a coffee shop ranting about his beliefs and Carlin is that Carlin was on a stage -- the people in that audience were paying to listen to the man rant, because his rants were intelligent, funny, relevent, and they made people -- prepare for a terrifying concept -- think.

CheezemanCheddar Says:

Nov 3, 2008 - There are people to replace him.They can't reach the surface though because the comedy industry has changed.Not to mention, there are all these wannabe hacks that try to emulate Bill Hicks, or Carlin.... just for the image of being "edgy".But, without a doubt this man was revolutionary. Some say he wasn't as revolutionary as he's talked up to be. But, I think he is. Anyone who finds lines by crossing them will be revolutionary in any generation. The problem is, none will manifest now.

MrGrey26 Says:

Nov 5, 2008 - no one will replace him. ever. shut up.

Nov 9, 2008 - Mark Prior or Richard PRYOR?

sharoneus Says:

Nov 10, 2008 - George is a man who left a legacy that we can benefit from. I grew up listening to George and I am going to laugh my ass off when I get to the mansion worlds and say, "George, ha ha, I knew you'd be here!"

Mahoivlich Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - i hope someone rises up and does his style

mytzui566 Says:

Nov 17, 2008 - shut the hell up. He's a genius among comedians, look up his work in the 70s 80s 90s... it's all outstanding

johnnycoolguy9554 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I hope to do such a thing. George Carlin is one of a very short list of my heroes. He is by far the funniest man to have ever walked this earth and deserves the respect of everyone in the world.

DerangedRanger1 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Wow. I glad you posted this. It is so interesting to hear him talk about how it was hard for him to go back and look at the tapes of the tougher times when he was "knocked down by a fastball pitcher" after how far he had come. I'm glad he had that sense of accomplishment because it is well-deserved. I hope that everyone (even those that hate Carlin) gets to feel that someday, rather than just do what your told (like adult children) and live in average mainstream comfort. Goodbye Mr. Carlin.

Nov 25, 2008 - it makes me sad to listen to him he told the truth and he was damn funny when i heard he died that night i cried my ass off i always wanted to see him live

aryul Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - I love hearing from someone who is being completely honest =]

MoPapparani Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - Andrew Dice Gay is the epitome if idiocy. He just throws around curse words and talks about sex. What part of that is comedy?He deserves the shit that Opie and Anthony give him.

colloredbrothers Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - I love him talking about psychedelics I love it I see that smart intelligent people take those to be enlightened. ORGANIC DRUS RULE

slantedeskimo Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - '.....i didn't give a shit, its important in life, if you don't give a shit, it can help you a lot.'thats hilarious. thanks for posting, i can't find many interviews with him just talking about his life.

bigpaws Says:

Dec 6, 2008 - Yes, this doesn't happen nearly enough. When it does it's a real treasure.

usamerican152 Says:

Dec 9, 2008 - i must disagree with Carlin that drugs like mary jane will not help thoughtless-minded believers open new doors of perspective. that only works with people who THINK to begin with.

Tbonyandsteak Says:

Dec 13, 2008 - aryul:Thumps up for that

armddd Says:

Dec 18, 2008 - did he hurt your feelings?

AtheistChase Says:

Dec 21, 2008 - I discovered him a few months after he died. Howdya think i feel?

massai86 Says:

Dec 29, 2008 - i least you discovered him brother, now just sit back, and enjoy his teachings and jokes, he is still around wherever the is a LITTLE BIT of common sense, and some "fuck" words hahaha.

massai86 Says:

Dec 29, 2008 - im so glad to know that many of us cried that day, i was feeling like a fucking pussy (like Georgie would've called us, hahaha).Now fuck you George, we miss you like hell...

andretheking86 Says:
