FIRST TIME! 🎙 George Carlin - American Dream REACTION

[@jackolson8775]

The world needs George Carlins voice today more than ever.

[@ffjsb]

No, no we don't. We don't need any more old bitter socialists.

[@Sully2001]

@@ffjsb so more extreme left and right politicians is what we need? Cause regardless of what you think his politics are, the man is speaking the truth. No one up top gives a shit, it’s all about their gain. Not our gain, their gain. Sure, he might’ve had his own ideas how shit could’ve worked and I’m not saying I agree with that but other than that stuff…he’s preaching the right tune.

Have you ever listened to Bernie Sanders?

[@Sully2001]

@@donnabruhn6907 if you’re trying to compare George to Sanders than you’re eyesight is obviously flawed. George’s comedy is more legitimate than most/Al of Sander’s policies or goals.

[@sharrongrant6240]

George was a master of "the truth hurts" kind of sarcastic humor. He did many HBO comedy specials and many albums. He never gets old listening to his take on life!!

[@rogerthomas169]

Kind of sarcastic? by the end he was a raving lunatic

30 years later and this is still relevant. 😥

[@playbassken]

He was so ahead of his time. One of the funniest comedians ever.

[@andromidius]

He really was. This clip was from one of his later shows where he's not trying to tell as many jokes - just dropping harsh truths. Back in the day he was 'funnier' but also less edgy. Old age really did make him not give a shit, and I adore him for that.

[@bezdelnicar]

He wasn't ahead of his time, others are backwards, you are living in ignorant mentally ill society!

[@hadoken95]

@@andromidius Yea he only got angrier and more poignant as he got older. I saw him in Vegas in the early 2000s and sadly I had drank too much to remember much of his act then though I do remember crying laughing at all the shit he had to say. But there really is truth in his comedy.

[@roryowens9703]

The sad thing about George Carlin - everything he was saying ten, twenty, thirty years ago is truer today than it ever was.

[@6alcantara]

It's equally true, only now we see it more clearly.

[@RITH5150]

Sure is and it’s sad

[@YTsupportsZionaziGenocide]

@@6alcantara no its literally more true now, capitalism is more corrupt now and enslaving now, politics is more corrupt and more of a zero sum game now and the most degenerate forms of chirstianity (the christo-fascists) are on the upswing in the US... now its so obvious people can't ignore it.

[@CitizenScorn]

He was OF the time, because none of this is new. He was speaking about all this in real time over the years.

[@terminallumbago6465]

@@6alcantara The sad thing is it doesn’t really make a difference how clearly people can see it. They can’t DO anything about it. The systems that everybody complains are so broken aren’t broken at all. They work just fine for the people they’re designed to work for.

[@saltygrampy]

George Carlin is an American treasure, that we did not appreciate enough while he was alive!!!!!

[@NeonNights80]

I appreciated the hell out of him when he was alive.

[@fern]

George Carlin is the comedic GOAT of telling the truth while we bust our ribs laughing. RIP George

[@grabble7605]

The fact that everyone just laughed then went home and bought more shit along the way isn't a point in his, or their, favor.

[@paulrogers4483]

Welcome you guys to the G.O.A.T. professor George Carlin!! If there was ever a stand-ups rabbit hole you'd want to go down it's George's. Been a fan of his since I was a kid, I'm 56 now and miss this man so much. George woulda had a field day with this world we live in now. My folks were into George in a major way, my Dad would have his album within days of it coming out. Anytime George would hit anywhere near us we'd be there, it's even better actually being there and watching him work his magic. As I grew up I did the same thing and the records evolved into cassettes, then into VCR videos, to the HBO specials. I watched his material evolve and mature over the years and noticed his growing fascination and disgust with the world grow and grow. There are funnier comics out there but no one comes close to the sheer brilliance of this man who could entertain you and make you laugh but have you thinking AND WAKING UP TO THINGS AT THE SAME TIME. I've always thought of him as the funniest professor you've ever heard of giving a lecture on life. RIP George, the world is a little darker without you. You should do Rights next..... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZLEapytbZqnjZo Peace

[@patrickoconnor7890]

The things he was talking about 25-30 years ago are true more than ever right now. He was ahead of his time. RIP

[@Samurai_Stoner]

I used to work at a casino doing security, part of the perks was seeing shows for free, and sometimes meeting the talent, so being a huge Carlin fan I had to meet him, I walked up to him, voice shaking and told him that he was my favorite comedian since I was a kid... He stood up, hugged me and said... "Get some better fucking standards, Jesus Christ" 🤣 RIP GEORGE 😢

[@teequinny8179]

This is awesome. What a guy!

[@FossilFighter08]

I actually laughed out loud at this That would've been amazing sadly I never got to meet him I'm too young lol

[@michaelrains64295]

George Carlin is one of the most important Americans of the 20th century and best comics of all time. He’s brilliant, on point and hilarious.

[@surlechapeau]

George was an original comedic genius. Perfect blend of comedy and philosophy. Dozens of great skits on KZbin. Just search George Carlin and these topics to start: Everyday expressions (that don't make sense), soft language, advertising and bullshi*t.

[@robertnichol3669]

George was a magician of words...a Master of his craft.

[@tylerhackner9731]

His words are always relevant. I miss him. Especially on a day like today.

[@RocketQueen71]

Hiya, Brad & Lex , |George Carlin was a philosopher and a political genius . He spoke truth . Can you imagine if George was still alive today?! Maaaaaaaaaaaan, he would say ,"I TOLD YOU SO!" A little trivia for ya , the US Government,the FBI was "watching" him. I never get sick and tired hearing of this routine and all the other Specials he had.

[@firstlast4516]

This should be taught in school!

[@terminallumbago6465]

Oh the irony 😂

[@frankkendrick7751]

The last line he said was brilliant

[@nrclpsy27]

No one tops George Carlin. One of the best decisions I ever made was to see him perform live before he died

[@RandomJane104]

He was a treasure. He spoke truth. My favorite was his bit on "stuff".

[@Frostrazor]

George started a comedian - turned into a philosopher and social commentator, who used comedy to connect with others, and convey the message. The GOAT. Damn I miss this man. I would love to hear what he had to say about the past 3 years.

[@alrivers2297]

Past 6 years

Wish you would have put the first part with this! It's hilarious. Carlin's the GOAT! :)

RIP to arguably the greatest comedic voice of the people. I miss him alot, think about him often and how would he view today.

[@keetahbrough]

people get it when they're hearing it in this forum. The truth. But omg.. point out how it effects their behaviors and decisions and daily routine and people will violently disown you, make an enemy out of you.. spread lies about you. It's staggering what people have done to maintain the illusion rather then face the truth. I love Carlin. I know all of his work lol. xo

[@jamesholland9395]

I'm glad you 2 watched it. He had prophetic ideas years before this. If you realize what you see now, and what he said then, it all makes sense. I watch your reactions regularly. Love you both

[@lk-music]

From music reactions to poetry reactions. George is such a good poet you don't even realise that's what he's doing, we laugh, we cheer, but these aren't jokes, it's just beautiful poetry.

[@rebeccalipps23]

I was lucky enough to see him at WVU in Morgantown, WV in the mid 80s. His observational skills fuel him comedy & he is spot on. You will enjoy his segment on "The Seven Words you can't say on television".

[@benjandpurge]

George nailed it. He always did. He was a treasure dripping pure truth.

Lex, George Carlin is probably the second or third most influential comedian of all time. Interesting to me that you've not heard of him. He never disappoints and always made one think.

George Carlin has been around since the 60's. We used to watch him on The Ed Sullivan Show when The Beatles were on. He was more comedy then than social commentary. But he does tell it like it is.

Carlin used to be a comedy writer for The Tonight Show (Johnny Carson). Had George's "Class Clown" record back in the 70's. His routine "Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV" was immortal - it shocked a lot of people back then.

[@josephhickman4759]

Johnny C. Was impressed enough to have him on writing jokes of observations of human nature.

My #1 favorite comedian, with Louis C.K as a very close second. He wrote some great books also with Brain Droppings, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, and my favorite, Napalm & Silly Putty Also gotta get to America and shopping malls, advertising and bullshit, and my favorite, Soft Language
