First Time Hearing George Carlin - Cultural issues | REACTION |

[@Z-one1000]

He didn't tell jokes, he told truth in a funny way. The man was a philosopher just as much as he was a comedian (perhaps even more so).

[@andrewlecount1829]

Well said

[@themfnjessiah]

I often say Bill Hicks was the Yin to Carlins yang like the perfect complimentary contemporary . Both were very powerful. Lenny Bruce was the pioneer so much so that George smiles remembering being handcuffed next to him in a cop car. All 3 were the mount Rushmore of the rebellious dark comedians speaking from the heart. Doug Stanhope I think is the closest thing living today to it personally.

[@Rational_Driver]

I always had the theory that all those philosophers we highly regard today were their generation's comedian. Imagine Socrates on stage riffing like Carlin.

[@pfcampos7041]

I don't agree with everything he has to say. But he was smart and funny and for that reason I always like him.

[@pfcampos7041]

@@themfnjessiah now you make me want to check out this Bill HIcks guy...

[@beatinbuzzers]

"Oh he wouldn't like me..." George IMMEDIATELY turns to him and yells at him! Fucking gold!

[@MeryKeit]

Carlin is literally the GOAT and an idol for many modern day comedians

[@chance_247]

And many of those very same comedians will say they idolize him while completely missing the point of everything he said.

[@Jflonsn]

@@chance_247 or just try to copy his bits, hoping nobody finds the original...

[@adambrothwood]

The beauty of Carlin is that he's pure honesty wrapped up in a genius observational study of the bullshit that surrounds us all of the time. He has take the time to stop and really look at the world and report back on the nonsense that is constantly trying to tell us what to think and how to identify. Such a free thinker and way ahead of his time. We did not deserve that man. Peace and love

[@wtchtower]

the beauty of being silent and observe plus inquisitive. The wanting to learn and understand.

[@stephenlackey5852]

George carlin, standup philosopher The reason he described things so perfectly/prophetically is because with that brilliant mind he worked for almost a year honing his routines before he debuted them on his HBO specials.

[@beedlesmama]

I am a 50 yr-old white woman...I saw this act live in a small theater in Indiana... amazing live and amazing to relive it with you... congratulations on your success.🙂

[@mjeberle4201]

He is sooooo ..Very funny you should here more !! Nice job

[@MtnGrrrl]

Miss this guy so much. I'd love to hear what he has to say about life in these times. Brilliant man, imo.

[@cynthiaadkins-zj9ut]

I loved George back in the day. This one was probably early '70's

[@lorieastman6398]

George Carlin is a legend! The year may be different but everything is still so very current.

[@JustanOlGuy]

George Carlin was a master of the Human condition.

[@rubyleuty9417]

Carlin and Robin Williams had the same style and could talk faster than most of us could think. Loved Carlin the most. Every real thing you can think of he could talk about. His political shows were re the best. Made politics the bomb. So true and funny.

[@mumasheeka]

Im SO here for this ride! George is the GOAT forever, he is the originator of getting the 7 dirty words on air/album/tv so many worm holes w/ George. and you are he was a profit, so much so that things he ranted about years ago are still relevant today.

[@SilentBob731]

[@kellytrimble7019]

George is the GOAT! Grew up watching him & he influenced my sense of humor! ❤❤❤

[@jenfine]

I’ve been a fan since I was a kid in the 80s and too young to have heard him. He’s still my all time fav and I actually mourned his death in 2008. There’s a great doc on him on HBO. A must watch. His career went through many highs and lows and he had to reinvent himself a few times but he was always funny. My favorite era was 80s and 90s George.

[@brat4907]

He has a 1970s one, “7 Words You Can’t Say on TV” It’s great! He literally just observed life and reported on it. That was his gig.

[@HockeyFan102]

The politicians one is spot on!

[@mmichaeldonavon]

I loved George - I saw that YOU loved George - and that's a good thing.

[@johanna11980]

Always happy to hear there's another G. Carlin fan LOL

[@shanepye7078]

PLEASE, more George Carlin. He has A LOT of material.

[@StubbyLegz]

It’s amazing how his rant about the boomers is still on point all these years later.

[@godcorrodedgod]

Carlin and Pryor = G. O. A. T

[@johnsambo9379]

I saw him perform in Vegas. He was very good. He used his Vegas shows to work out new naterial for his cable specials.

[@brianforrester9670]

George Carlin is in my top 1. You can have your Pryor, Chappelle, Burr, ect...give me Carlin.

[@jeffbohnhoff]

Carlin is the goat. This isn't even a top 10 set of his imo. If you've really never seen him before, definitely check out more from him. He was THE act on HBO for years and would come out with a new special every other year. THe amount of truths he tells and predictions that we see happening now are incredible. I used to sneak downstairs at night to watch his specials when i was a kid because parents wouldn't allow the language lol. He really shaped alot of my world views with the most important being 'question everything.' Got to see him live in 2004 when he was practicing material for his 2005 special "It's Bad for Ya". Definitely would love to see more reactions to his stuff

[@SpectreSpook]

How has nobody realized that infinite energy is achievable by harnessing the power of Carlin spinning in his grave?

[@Valerie-mz4et]

Wait to hear what he says about religion, way back before everyone else did. Nice video!

[@crackazack510]

My all time favorite comedian... hands down. Patrice, Eddie, Burr, Chappell... fill out the rest of my top 5.

[@prellen]

The world 🌎 miss George Carlin.❤️❤️❤️❤️👌🙏💓😇🇸🇪😉

[@415s30]

George is one of my favorite Humans ever, a great guy. Make no mistake, the man was a genius, his mind was fast as hell.

[@sunshinespiritmindfulnessa1355]

The GOAT!

[@anna-mariepellett4362]

🤍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thank you for this trip down memory lane he was the best Commentator/comedian ever❄️⛄️❄️

[@terreneofficial]

I appreciate your energy. Your a good dude. We need more of you.

[@harleyadam4813]

I firmly believe that by this point in his career, George Carlin wasn't being a comedian anymore. He was just being honest and didn't give a fuck.

[@HEAVYMETALmovie1981]

He wasn't just any other comedian, he was a *philosopher,* actor, author and social critic and a very smart man. Born and raised as a *New Yorker,* and was known for his black comedy and reflections on politics, English language, psychology, religion and various taboo subjects. He and his *"7 dirty words"* comedy skit(which was a pretty funny and relatable one and recommended) were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme court case F.C.C. v Pacifica Foundation, in which a 5-4 decision affirmed the government's power to regulate incident material on the public airwaves. And widely regarded as one of the most important and influential American stand-up comics *OF ALL TIME,* and not to mention he dubbed by the newspaper to be *"the Dean of Counter culture comedians".* The guy said a lot of facts and yet was funny about it at the same time, told it like it is and wasn't afraid to speak his own mind and was a true comedic legend. Keep the George Carlin videos 😎

[@Reefizer]

He ironically died before, but the same year the Iphone was released and revealed

[@robinrasmussen647]

I used to watch him in Philly in the early ‘70’s before he became famous. Boy did he change!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@donnadanielson3532]

Yes, please more George Carlin. Thanks 🙏

[@genostellar]

There are so many people who you listen to and come out of it feeling dumber, and others who you listen to and end up feeling exactly the same as before. George Carlin has that special gift of making you feel smarter after listening to him. And I say "has" rather than "had" because, even though he's dead, it still remains true and still happens.

[@jenniferewing4504]

He was so funny.

[@kelliems75]

Yes!! Very thought provoking!!

[@prettypalepinkpeonies1645]

This is the early 70's. My dad was a huge fan.

[@tradovicka]

The Philosopher !!!

[@wtchtower]

same here, haven't voted since early 90's I hate politics. I even find it amusing to see a sign post saying, "Honesty, the best policy" inside a government office or the same sign inside a Court Room. If you despise homeless people who steals because of hunger, then there is no reason for you not to despise well dressed, well groomed, pretentious, sweet tongue, rich politicians who steals by the millions and gets away with it clean. Thanks for Sharing, more power to you channel Peace and Light to you brother

[@bunnygirlerika9489]

Why vote anyways, they will just cheat.

[@maraleehertel6977]

George Carlin was my hero…. Only comedian I ever went to see when he was in town

[@ed44projects7]

To me he was the GOAT!

[@dagrizz-ek4ih]

I must say I like your motto!! "Be you, they'll adjust"! If not then FTW and let them go on without you!!!

[@Sprite_525]

I like that you rewind if you missed something. Too many reactors miss entire jokes & sections because they don’t care enough to return to stuff they missed

[@jamlocys1235]

If George Carlin was alive I would vote for him!

[@nanettecormier8513]

One of my favorites!

[@CharlotteBrown-bh1cd]

George was a genius

[@anna-mariepellett4362]

🤍I think it’s important to point out it was pre-Netflix and Comedy Central and he could get a special on HBO which then was a really big deal. ❄️⛄️❄️

[@anna-mariepellett4362]

🤍 he hosted the first episode of Saturday night live in 1975 and started doing comedy specials around the late 70s. So I guess a lot of the stuff that we’re watching is like 30-40 years old. And most of it still rings true❄️⛄️❄️

[@EddieZak]

Your work is dope, bro. You gotta vote every two years. I love the opening and closing music. ✌️😎🙏

[@kyrareneeLOA]

Love your videos.. I would love to see you do Tori Amos, caught a light sneeze, hey Jupiter, +++++

[@zzplantlover]

Carlin died a year after the iphone came out. His 7 words you can't say on tv from 1972 was revolutionary. So many comedians from the 90s were deeply influenced by Carlin: Bill Mahar is definitely one of them.

[@ChippXelNaga]

George Carlin never sold out, Mahar did

[@brandonmesecar8641]

George Carlin is the GOAT

[@bettydelaune6691]

Polo, George Carlin is an all-time favorite of mine, I have been watching him for years when he would be on the Tonight show with Johnny Carson, of course he had to keep it clean but if you can find him on KZbin you're in for a treat, I absolutely love George Carlin wished he was still alive, another of my favorites from way back in the day from Saturday Night live was Eddie Murphy, if you haven't listened to his album called Raw it is a must 🤣😂😂😂

[@BeetleParsley7]

You can never go wrong with George Carlin.

[@barbaracollins385]

Light years ahead of his time!

[@whatdoiput807]

I grew up watching and hearing George Carlin. I grew up not being able to watch the Simpsons because my parents didn't want us to see parents and adults portrayed as stupid people, but George Carlin was the only time we were allowed to hear cursing or any of that kind of stuff.

He talks about baby boomers and he definitely was one. He understood the comedy of them perfectly.

[@cslattfri]

Sometimes I think he was ahead of his time but then I realize things are the same always - history just keeps repeating itself and people are as clueless today as they were 30 years ago so the truth is the same. Same problems, different decade. He was BRILLIANT though!

[@jainthorne4136]

You should watch his take on The Ten Commandments. It's classic and my favorite.

[@420JRMan]

Carlin's inside of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

[@kaseyreynolds7284]

He was a literal genius fr

[@robertseverin1773]

Keep going down the rabbit hole Carlin is comedies greatest philosopher poet

[@mitzaz8812]

You need to hear his earlier comedy routines.

[@lindanicholson950]

His earlier routines were funnier, less political. I laughed till I cried sometimes. Also Bill Cosby.

[@djfingersflores]

Great reaction Polo!! Keep em' comin'. Peace

[@JohnWarner-lu8rq]

Lenny Bruce, George Carlin and Richard Pryor have long been considered the holy trinity of comedy. I've seen him six times, and always a good show. He's right about 90% of the time, and still funny. He's wrong about boomers. Boomers helped provide the things in life people take for granted, especially Gen. Z.

[@CaliMishell]

Carlin was a genius.

[@ralph0901]

keep watching george, in the end you will wind up with the best education you ever had

[@FilmmakerJ]

The trick that he doesn't quite elaborate with voting, is that the only reason people who don't vote are pressured to vote is to counteract or outweigh the people who vote in terrible candidates. A lot of people don't bother voting either because they don't think it matters much, they're too lazy, or their disheartened about the whole process and have lost faith in it. It's convenient not to vote, but far too many people don't research candidates before voting for them; they take the rhetoric and advertisements at face value. Carlin is right about where to put the blame. But I think he could have illustrated things a bit farther.

[@Koniving]

I believe rather than smelling muskie he's talking about excess. Back then it was very common to plaster this s*** on and excess to kept doing the axe commercial where he putting on some axe magically get girls come after you and if they didn't you weren't wearing enough.

[@accidental-life]

YES SIR!

Power is in numbers. You hope to create a wave when you vote. i figure if something is meaningful enough to motivate me to vote so will it many who think like me.

[@MylonPruett]

If you liked this, check out his “a place for your stuff” skit.

[@Daz5Daz]

One of the greatest of all time. Stands up there with the likes of Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, Billy Connolly, Bill Hicks....

[@damianroberts4330]

I see you doing the Tool videos, you should try comedian Bill Hicks. He's sampled on the Tool song 3rd Eye. Aenima has a few inside jokes using his theme of Arizona Bay and washing LA away.

[@SayianPrince586]

super old. one of my old favorites.

[@Mymloch]

George is from the generation just before the Baby Boomer generation... often called the "Silent Generation" (just after the "Greatest Generation", WW1 era folks). I sense a lot of people watching this these days would assume George was a Boomer, as well.

[@alantaylor6803]

add me . .I'm a Carlin Fan from long ago . . .nice to see other generations discovering/commenting on him . .clever

[@MrsHyde92]

Love George!!!! 😍😍😍💯💯💯 Thank you for watching him, he was BRILLIANT! Spoke truth through intelligent humour! He wanted people to think for themselves and question things!

Check out stand up comedian Steve Hughes routine on health and safety. It’s hilarious but also true af.

[@monaboutet6863]

He loves to smack your face with truth 😅

[@zafotbeeb]

A line of Georges that I have never forgotten is "whats with an expiration date on sour cream ?" Always been one of my favorite comedians. RIP

[@scottdebruyn7038]

Carlin makes number one in my book. I have to say that most see where he's coming from, but few realize until they've heard a lot of his stuff that he never wanted us to agree with everything he said... he wanted us to think about what he said... Oh yeah... and laugh MF'r! 🤔😏 And vote... We can even vote to get rid of that damn electoral college BS. But it's kinda like winning the lottery... Your chances go to zero if you don't buy a ticket. 🤨😎 Not to mention mine go down when 70% of those that agree with me don't vote. 🥺
