American Reacts to George Carlin - Saving the Planet

[@MistrBlistr]

Watching someone discover George Carlin is priceless.

[@carolmurphy7572]

"This man should get a standing ovation every time he speaks!" He once got a standing ovation without saying a word. George Carlin was an absolute legend!❤

[@chrisf8021]

His most famous sketch is his religion sketch. Made Dawkins himself laugh.

[@johnandrews3151]

George Carlin/The Seven Dirty Words You Can't Say On TV. This bit got George arrested and charged with a crime.😮He took the case all the way to the Supreme Court and won the case😊

[@rubbertoe8643]

'The Trillion Dave's' from older George is one of my favorite bits. His 1972 album 'Class Clown' really showcases his wit when he was younger, and In 2016, was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry due to its "cultural, historic, or artistic significance." Funny stuff.

[@DefianceFinance]

I recommend watching his take on religion. GC always spoke the truth and people laughed. He has never laughed on stage. That's because he meant every single word. I miss him.

[@marktubeie07]

I think Joel has already reacted to that video, you may have to check...

[@genostellar]

George Carlin has laughed on stage, just like a quick "hah" and not a hard laugh. One example I can think of is when he said that if there is a god it has to be a man, and all the women cheered, which made him give that short laugh.

[@stirlingmoss4621]

he made many good points, but, plastic bags, nylon and other waste do affect animals on land and in the sea. It isn't the other species fault that their habitat is being ruined by our carelessness. We must be respectful and take an interest in the effects our behaviours have on others.

[@Paul_C]

This was in the years of Aids and HIV...

[@onnoalink6694]

I think this was late 90ties. Not earlier.

[@GernotRutz]

Never heard about George Carlin before but he is amazing! 👍

[@lockstar169]

I enjoyed your reaction young man. I discovered George in the late 70's when I was a kid. He's often given credit for his so called "prognosticating abilities" but it's not true. There were and always have been, those who are telling the truth. You only have to be reasonably intelligent , partially educated and just pay attention to what is happening. His stance on religion, drugs, America and many other things allowed the mainstream to be dismissive of his views, so he had nothing to lose or gain by lying. Pay attention to those kinds of people.

[@brianforrester9670]

This is from the early 90s. And to be fair, humans have been fighting pandemics throughout history. Influenza, smallpox, HIV, etc.

[@callasladivina]

Yup, 1992.

[@LalaDepala_00]

One of my favorite bits by George.

[@bobf.5538]

I grew up on George Carlin .i own all hs cds and albums own.his dvd box set he was more than a comedian a philosophical genuis .besides wordplay he read and studied histpry he made you tjink and laugh at the same time.i had tickets to see him he died few weeks before i had the chance..one of tje.absoute best....miss ya george

[@jakoblang3185]

i loved it! more george!

[@MrSidney52]

IMO George was a sharp guy with a great sense of humor. Irony, history, observation, ..

[@peterpritzl3354]

Check out 'George Carlin on abortion', the one with 1.4 M views. 14 years ago, but would fit so well with the pathetic present discussion.

this was in the early 90's I believe, I discoverd George Carlin on You-Tube never knowed him before...He is so right and funny greets from eastern Netherlands🙂👋

[@thebouncer9107]

'You have no rights' is vintage Carlin.

[@danmayberry1185]

If only he'd seen lockdown videos of animals and vegetation helping themselves to our urban areas. Like, after just a few days.

[@Raven5150]

George started out as a straightman comedian set up punchline, then became a hippy weatherman then did the 7 dirty words routine and became a philosopher that was also funny

[@niagaranovalis3408]

Before even knowing Carlin, that were and still are exactly my thoughts. And that applies to all his statements 😂 He was an amazing thinker, his sarcasm is still unmatched, love him

[@genostellar]

I mean, 19 years ago would be an okay guess. It's even older than that, though. 19 years ago would be right around 2005 and George Carlin died in 2008, so he would have looked older if this was only 19 years ago. I think this was more like 25 to 28 years ago, which puts it as older than I was when he died. That's nice to realize.

[@Tedmader-fp3vb]

Try 40-50 years ago

[@genostellar]

@@Tedmader-fp3vb So you're thinking this is a special he did in 1974 or 1984? Because I have news for you, he looked younger back then.

[@philiprowney]

You gotta see 'Bill Hicks - Relentless [1992] - Stand Up Comedy Show' He was a student of Carlin who died far too young.

[@gordonvhoutum835]

[@teroholopainen1017]

Here are some of my favourites from George Carlin. All of these are just clips from full shows. I'd say the '7 dirty words' and the last three are must see clips. Firstly, a routine from 1965 when he was 28. George Carlin • Standup Routine (Indian Staff Sargent) • 1965 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnrIe36sbpJ1iqM Then couple of gems from the 70's: George Carlin on Time kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJK1ZKaMpbl1b5o George Carlin - 7 dirty words (best part) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJO9maOcaNiErrM Then a clip from 86: George Carlin Talks About "Stuff" kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6fKf2ideNp_l8U Moving on to 90's: This is a compilation from multiple shows and 32 minutes. George Carlin - Stand Up About Religion kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKXTYYiEmM-topo Couple of the best parts of the above in a bit shorter clips. George Carlin - Religion kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqHEqJegmq1gbtk GEORGE CARLIN - The Ten Commandments kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZybYqeLis2Fn8k And then... "abortation" (sic) George Carlin: pro-life, abortation & the sanctity of life... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWqbhYSAatGXjZI And now that you've spent a bit more time in UK and enjoyed it's food culture... You should really get familiar with that culture :) Rowan Atkinson Live - Drunks in an Indian Restaurant kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJKQdIl9l7qIoLM

[@karrywright9359]

Brilliant. The virus he was talking about was aids. Great reaction, definitely watch more 🤩

[@gordondry]

The virus is not called "aids". It's called H.I.V. and the illness you get from it is a complex of illnesses, all together called "A.I.D.S."

[@stevedavis5704]

George Carlin was a comedian but he also used comedy to present social commentary.

[@Lyonsbane75]

Actually, I think he’s spot on. Earth will find a way. Bacteria in the sea have already evolved to ‘eat’ plastics. Not sure when they evolved the ability to use plastic as food… but it’s still impressive considering plastic has only been around for approx 110+ years.

[@PaulVincent-n2x]

Joel, you missed the point! He was saying we should live our lives and not worry about the Earth. And if you want to get a broader picture of covid and other viruses, check out the work of Sam and Mark Bailey.

[@SilverJackLeg]

No, George didn't say that we should live our lives carelessly like there are no consequences. He only pointed out that we are killing ourselves, not the Earth and should adjust our claims thus.

[@didonna1974]

My favorite George Carlin routines are The 10 Commandments, Abortion and the sanctity of life, swearing in the Bible and Rights, Grems, Time, Pride, and Religion is Bu!!sh!t.

[@timglennon6814]

Was George Carlin Nostradamus in disguise? 🤣

[@johneddy5905]

He is specifically referring to HIV/AIDS

[@pierre-andrehentzien6003]

He made this up in around 2007. And as u said, he was a prophet, or a visionar... doesn't matter. In 2007 no one even thought about things like Covid, but i bet, that was not the ende. Kinda earthtalk: "Uhmmm, got enough of this humans! Let's look around if i can come in the way of a komet - but a big one! I think, afterwards, i should have kept dinosaurs. Anyway it's time to creat something new!". Thanks earth that we were allowed of being here - better luck next time! 😀 May u also like to try out "Advertising and bulls*hit". That's a nice one to!

[@kmusicmagazine]

This isn’t from 2007, but from the early 90s….

[@SilverJackLeg]

Have a look at his bit about (human) rights if you want his insight into society and his the one about balancing the budget if you want to see some comedy bit.

[@freespeechisdead202]

I have watched most of this guys material. He is a philosopher as well as comedian, but you can only speak this kind of truth in the form of comedy. If only he was alive today he would have so much material from smartphones and the whole smart grid system to climate change, pride movement and woke culture, censorships, AI and much more we now have. He wouldnt have enough time to do his shows.

[@Alpha-Cephei]

The planet is going to be fine, and species will come and go as they always did. It's just that one of them will be us, if we carry on like bacteria in an over-fertilized pond consuming all the oxygen until they have killed themselves. It should actually be called "saving humanity".

[@erzengelmichi666]

I know George Carlin from your 1st reaction to him, and was excited. But, because I'm not natural speaking english, I had many problems to understand his humor in the current. This time he was too close to that, what he would probably denounced, so I couldn't distinguish well, whether he meant what he said or not.

[@johnrussell5245]

The phrase 'Saving the Planet' is just shorthand for saving a liveable world where humans can thrive in balance with nature.

[@marcodebrabander5751]

he is the GOAT!

[@JKRacing24]

he was talking about AIDS not Covid. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

[@JeremyParker072]

Yes the planet will be fine but every living thing on it won't be. The planet will evolve and life will be whatever evolves with it. Not likely to be humans though. That being said we shouldn't take a cavalier approach and do whatever if we care for people who come after us.

[@freespeechisdead202]

There wont be any ppl after us, Humanity wont last another few decades. From then on it will be all cyborgs and society controlled by AI and computers. Its already in its infancy. Ppl are so obsessed with technology now, its society that is self destructing and its only taken 2 generations of human existence to make it happen.

[@DollyBastard]

Exactly.

Hello Joel. It was like listening to some bloke down the pub. Grandad on stage. Difference was, he got up there and did it. Not unlike the Pub Landlord. You might look at what he is up to on the other channel?

[@drdaze1968]

George Carlin is priceless. what about the viruses he was talking about covid viruses and George Carlin die 2008

[@johnrussell5245]

The current rate of extinction is up to 1,000 times higher than the pre-human background rate of extinction. We're killing our future. Rather than laugh about it I'd prefer to do something about it.

Here on youtube you find for example: Loriots Ödipussi Ganzer Film Deutsch- the english subt. do work quite well. Best regards, Joachim.

[@Z-one1000]

Get in the habit of backing the video up when you pause so you don't miss any context.

[@mariagenina1520]

I really do agree on his point of view about us being tiny insignificant shit on this big planet and that humanity will some day be gone and our planet will just recover as it always did. But I don´t like this nihilistic view - when I was a teenager I thought like this but as I grew older I started to see that this view is also kind of immature cause it is easy to discard every responsibility (like, we will be fucked anyway, so why try or care?). I think that as much as we should care for other people we should care for other living beings like animals to reduce their suffering if it is caused by us. How arrogant are we to think that we can just lean back and don´t care? And also caring for others, escpecially for our children, for the next generations to come, means to care about our environment. Yes, it´s true, many of our influences we can´t reverse them anymore but we should at least try to make the future of our children the least horrible it can get and lessen their suffering the best we can.

[@awaterplease7885]

His point flew over your head bro. You think we did some destruction to the planet, but it’s like thinking a child did some destruction to the playground after destroying a sand castle in de sandbox. The playground is still fine. It’s just the kids that feel like something important is destroyed

[@TC-uj7ui]

React to his take on religion. There's one where he takes apart religion as such, and one where he takes apart religion's role in the american civic system (10 commandments, bill of rights, god-given rights, swearing on the bible, etc.) which is from his last show iirc

[@theGoogol]

To many, the best ever - but probably only second best, to Bill Hicks, in my opininion - comedian and a comedian's comedian as well. It's a very materialist, Taurean way of approaching the Divine...what is this big electron exactly? 🤨

In fact he's talking about AIDS

[@TheRainbowCoach]

But keep in mind this was in the days of Al Gore. There is a context to this sketch of course. This kind of parody is widely misunderstood nowadays and would be incorporated by the right wing, making it into a narrative to scold environmentalists.

For me, it is a more about if I want to live in a trash can. Nope, I don´t. Then let´s clean it up somewhat. I am not only talking about my place, but everywhere I go. I can remove other folks trash too, just take more with me when I leave than my own trash. I know, it doesn´t make much difference with one person - but I do like actions that can be described with "what if everyone did that?". Start with yourself and also help some other folks out. If other folks start too - great.

[@karlajaeger2082]

@@jokervienna6433 my point was people reducing their carbon footprint is a drop in the bucket compared to the sheer pollution caused by corporations, gas powered vehicles, mining and burning of fossil fuels. Even if pollution stopped today climate change will continue. I don't see anything changing that anytime soon, especially since there's a lot of money to be made. Unless the entire world gets serious about going carbon negative and investing in green energy we are totally screwed. It would require everyone to cooperate and as we know that is never going to happen. My cigarette butts I toss out a car window or in the street are nothing compared to the sheer amount of plastic that people use every day.

See just how easy and quick you said you hoped we don't make it to mars? That's called a conditioned response. You've been conditioned to want to go extinct rather than fix what's wrong with our species.
