Dennis Miller & George Carlin on advertising 2001

[@theelementgirl4165]

What a combination! Two of the smartest comedians ever!

[@metalmike252]

@theelementgirl4165 I totally agree. Everybody knows George Carlton was a genius, but very few people know. Dennis Miller was probably the most underrated comic of the 80s both of them lines just rinsing the look on George’s face when he was explaining stuff to him and he knew already, but George was saying was unique to look on Denises face when George was saying something he felt exactly the same way thank you for posting this

Carlin was a philosopher under the guise of a comedian

[@johnconway9882]

Philosophers avoid absolute statements and allow for dissenting opinions. Absolute statements and generalizations are the bread and butter of comedians. As much as they poke fun at human stupidity, like ole George does, the last thing they really wants is a thinking audience that questions their observational conclusions.

I thought he occasionally funny but I'm always leery if those who believe they're smarter than everyone else. Being skeptical of EVERYTHING doesn't make you smarter than everyone else, it simply has a way of making people who can't think for themselves, feel dumb.

[@MrJonube]

@@templehillsfunk ...George , through his comedy, encouraged people to think for themselves. That was the underlying message. He made it a rule to never punch down when on stage. You can find interviews where he says it. Carlin just delivered his life experiences through jokes. He was actually a very humble person.

After the comedians of the Catskill's and vaudeville, there came several men who changed the art of comedy. These fellows brought a fresh viewpoint and started spinning stories, not one- liners. Lenny Bruce and George Carlin are the shoulders everyone who followed stand upon. Carlin never stopped writing new material and became a kind of guru, dissecting the society in which he lived. A unique, clever humorist, tilting at the windmills of absurdity man has created for himself.

In the early to mid 1990s, Carlin came to my university to do a show. All went well until the middle of the show. In the middle of a joke he just exploded in a raging anger and yelled that someone in the crowd needed to get stabbed to death. He screamed stab that MFer again and again. Carlin believed that someone was making him lose the train of thought. It wasn't true, and everyone in the crowd was left dumbfounded. In my opinion, Carlin was indeed smart, but he fell into the same trap that every so-called urbane person falls into: You must believe as they do or you're just an uneducated fool. Carlin loved to question everything and everyone, but hated to be questioned as well. It was side with my view point or placed into the idiot-box forever.
