George Carlin

Knuckles · 08-02-2003, 11:07 PM

Seriously, who else loves this guy?

"I think they ought to have black confetti. It would be great for funerals. Especially if the dead person wasn't too popular."

"If a movie is described as a romantic comedy you can usually find me next door playing pinball."

"You keep hearing that society's greatest tasks are educating people and getting them jobs. That's great. Two things people hate to do: go to school and go to work."

"I don't know about you, but I really have no problem with atrocities. What's the big deal? Lighten up."

"When you rub your eyes real hard do you see that checkerboard pattern? What is that?"

--George Carlin

One of my all-time favorite comedians.

DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT!

YOU BEAT ME TO MAKING THIS THREAD!!!!!!

"Undisputed Heavyweight Champion"

Well if it's undisputed, what's all the figthing about?

"The greatest thing since sliced bread"

So this is it, huh folks? I don't know, a couple hundred-thousand years...THE F**KING PYRAMIDS FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! Great Wall of China, Panama Canal, even a lava lamp, to me is greater than sliced bread. I don't see what the big deal is. You got a knife, you got a loaf of bread, SLICE THE F**KING THING! And get on with your life...

I did take slight offense from "Guys Named Todd" though, he mentions my name (Brent, and it's the very last one he mentions AAMOF) in his short list of "dull and fruity" names.

Knuckles · 08-02-2003, 11:21 PM

Haha--I was gonna put in the sliced bread quote. The guy's a genius.

"And TUCKER.... F*ck Tucker, Tucker sucks."

I think Kevin Smith said it best when he said "George Carlin should be running this country, if not the world."

I will personally hunt down and anally violate whoever voted "I don't like him". To not like George Carlin is heresy in my book

~~Leo656~~ · 08-02-2003, 11:29 PM

The "Bill and Ted" movies actually got me into George Carlin, and when my Dad saw them he recognized who it was as he and my mother were always huge Carlin fans and had seen him several times. My mother took me to see him at Club Bene back in 1997. Most of the stuff he did was from "Back In Town" ("It may not be necessary, each morning, to eat an entire wicker swing set...") but it was great seeing him live so the jokes were still funny even though I'd heard them a thousand times.

One of these days I hope to get the DVD box set. That'd rule.

"Why is it most of the women who are against abortion are people you wouldn't want to f*ck in the first place?"

"I never f*cked a 10, but one night I f*cked five 2s..."

"I once met a prostitute who had the nicest face I ever came across..."

Anyways, I've always loved George Carlin, he has the same kind of humour that I do, and it owns.

I'm a sarcastic person in real life.

*That Matt Guy* · 08-03-2003, 05:19 AM

Didn't he have his own sitcom for a while?

~~Leo656~~ · 08-03-2003, 05:24 AM

Yeah, he did, on Fox I think. It wasn't all that great, there's only so much George can do within the restrictions of a sitcom on network tv, even when that network is Fox.

*Raven* · 08-03-2003, 09:56 AM

*cqb101* · 08-03-2003, 10:58 AM

I love him. I got tickets for one of his shows in December.

*Mars-Chan* · 08-03-2003, 11:20 AM

"Be most excellent to each other...and...PARTY ON, DUDES!!!"

Eat your heart out, Mike. ^^

Lucky!

Anyway, I liked his sitcom, it's the first real exposure I got to him. I wish I could find it.

*Mars-Chan* · 08-03-2003, 11:23 AM

Wasn't he on "Shining Time Station"?
