Do baseball vs football

[@91GT347]

Bill Hicks. Another great one. "You w w w wanna go on a mota boat wide ?" 😂😂😂

[@flickeringboxofficial]

Wiiith, meeee....pweeeeese :) @@91GT347

[@DAMHoo]

George was way ahead of his time. Simply the greatest comedian ever

[@gambar]

and a philosopher as well...

[@_barm]

George was exactly on time. 20 years later I marry a women in Bulgaria who teaches English, and she says George Carlin is a Philosopher, she loves his Engliish language. Her students can hardly believe what they hear from him.

[@albertvalerysmith2380]

Bill Hicks.

[@nealrepetti2396]

Carlin was a monster of comedy! One of the greatest. He is sorely missed.😢😢😢

[@Ubermensch1972]

He's one of the G.O.A.T.s, and I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live in 2004.

[@QuackAttack63]

My favorite comedian of all time. Just genius. I was fortunate to see him twice live.

[@Rick-or2kq]

My wife and I saw him once, unfortunately he was having an off night, he walked off stage. Still love his comedy grew up with him.

[@bobdelp2023]

GEORGE WAS THE BEST BY FARRRRRR, BEST OF THE BEST, INSPIRED DOZENS OF COMICS AMONG MANYYYYY OTHER THINGS!! 😊 COMEDY & PHILOSOPHY 💯😊

[@genekent2391]

That was awesome. I love Carlin. I love his bit on the differences between football and baseball, as well as his bit on the environment. Carlin was indeed a prophet! I hope you guys check out more of him, as well as Pryor, Murphy, Steven Wright, and a lot of other old school comedians. Awesome guys!!! Oh, and go Noles!!

[@clayzimmerman3318]

I love Carlin too. He says funny things but he is dead on with a lot of his material.

[@kinjiru731]

Got to see Carlin live and it's a memory I'll never forget.

[@ba-gg6jo]

You were extremely lucky. A great commentator on the absurdity of life.

[@frankrizzo4460]

I could remember as a kid playing tackle football in the streets in front of our homes and jumping makeshift ramps with our bikes getting scrapes and cuts all the time and loving it. Also we drank water out of our hose on the side of the house. Glad I had those memories growing up years ago.

[@richardelias3684]

I can remember Chicken Pox parties/ Sleep Overs. And as a RETIRED Paramedic I'm glad to see people not shying away from germs.

[@jamesmyles4540]

I agree on general but i know 2 people, one blind, one deaf in one ear as a direct result of a pox party

[@icecreamassassin3006]

​@jamesmyles4540 how old were they? 40? The idea of pox parties was for pre-teens to get it while it was relatively harmless.

[@jamesmyles4540]

@icecreamassassin3006 blind one was 6, deaf was 8. Its fine when the cases are mild, but not every case is.

[@ryleighs9575]

​@@icecreamassassin3006They... they could be 40 now lol.. I'm really confused about what you're skeptical about. Could've had a pox party when you're saying they were popular, being kids then, had those complications, then continued aging till now. Blindness and deafness don't go away.

[@Excallius243]

Thank fucking god you're retired

[@gregrodriguez5697]

He's a genius. I was lucky enough to see him in 1973.

[@gdhaney136]

Gen-X here, and I believe that my childhood of eating dirt, jumping from high heights, playing in the creek and catching critters, and sledding over rocks has toughened me up to having a strong immune system. Carlin is one of the greats, and in my top 3 of all time. He's brilliant.

[@JustinSmithPYRO]

George was truly an amazing person. Didnt care about anyones feelings. Just told it like it was. 😂

[@chereborn2525]

Great reaction 😂 Happy mothers And happy birthday George Carlin.

[@MikeBruno-qt5es]

That was great! I've always been a huge fan of Carlin. Yeah, definitely do more of his videos. I really enjoy the channel guys.

[@jasonbyassee7541]

I can still remember looking forward to his yearly HBO routines.

[@goddesssalem4842]

Great to see father and daughter enjoying george carlin

[@JK-tn4xp]

I remember when one person got chicken pox the parents would get all of the kids together and have a chicken pox party. This was to get everyone exposed to it and, hopefully, everyone would get it and then be set for life because you usually can only get chicken pox once in your life. We also drank out of the hose and had to go outside to play and not come back in until the street lights came on.

[@nathansossai]

And people used to die a lot more back then too.

[@xwiick]

@@nathansossai the world was also less over populated

[@dustinmoore600]

​@nathansossai, no, they didn't, lol. Do you think hiding from germs is gonna help you? People wanna just ignore the fact that we're a bunch of pussies now. Man up. Life's tough.

[@ericgaudet5488]

Still one of my favorite bits from George Carlin is when talks about the difference between Football and Baseball it's a classic.

[@haroldcolby6329]

So when I was introduced to George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, etc., we did not have the videos to watch the comedian. I would go to someone's house who had the album, and we would listen to the routine. Our minds had to fill in the image of the person or the scenario that they were conveying, which became more detailed with every listen. The old Cheech and Chong albums were quite good at building the image of the scene. When the videos became readily available, it was like frosting on a cake (like George's facial expressions). They were completed!! Thank you for this reaction and I look forward to seeing more comedy reactions!

[@danmcbee807]

I love Carlin! I'm a Boomer but I actually didn't listen to him when I was younger. It has only been in the past 5 years or so that I have come upon his concerts on KZbin. He's a genius comic and speaks so much truth that was relevant then and is still relevant today. Thanks for the laugh!

[@216Numbskull]

George is absolutely right to how we built up our "immune system" back in the day by the way we did things & played outside as kid's, no bout a doubt it my friend's. Most of the time our mom's beat our azz beat for messing up our clothes by doing it. But in the long run it made it was all worth it looking back at it all now today for sure. Digging in the dirt, playing football in the mud, swimming in slimy creeks, diving off ledges into lakes & quarries, etc... was just apart of life & what we did for fun. And I still wouldn't change a thing or trade those good times day's for nothing. You 2 have a great show going on here that's quite special whether you know it or not. IDK about anyone else but I see a genuine insight on both ends of the generational gap, young & old(er). 😜 Not only the respect you have for each other's opinions but you've built a true chemistry between you together which is pretty cool to see, bravo! Keep on keeping on & keep your head up, ya dig? +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Souls My Friends+ 🤘😉🤘

[@CaddyJim]

Really should do *George Carlin's (Saving The Planet)*

[@BlackieNuff]

An absolute MUST is the bit about euphemisms and soft language - it's an amazing bit.

[@paperbagfilms]

This is so spot on. Consider how long ago this video was made. Carlin nails it! This cracks me up, people driving their car, wearing a mask, the windows are up, and likely the air conditioning is filtered… Consider the movie, “War Of The Worlds” (the Tom Cruise version. Why did the aliens die?)

[@ravensshadow2179]

I love George Carlin him and Dennis Leary stand up were both great.

[@bufordteejustice1119]

I met George on a flight in the early 90s. He sat across from me and he was really nice. George is a legend . Thanks for sharing.

[@AngelaJung99]

I love Alexis’s hair and style

[@flickeringboxofficial]

It changes quite a bit. Take a peak through our vids and you will see various styles. She rocks!

[@Shortstring5]

Go wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy back for Abbot and Costello's "Who's on first" 1953. Funny as F and good clean fun. Just thought I'd mention. Cheers.

[@pumpkinhead34]

I was lucky enough to see him live in the late 80's

[@terrikoyne3485]

When I was a kid (gen X here too) we used to have chicken pox parties. One of my cousins came home from school with chicken pox - all of us (cousins) went to stay at granny's house (she had the biggest house) until we all caught it. It didn't have to be a relative either - if a kid in the neighborhood came down with mumps, measles, or chicken pox, the neighborhood kids would go "play" with them so they could get it and get it over with. Fun times.

[@dannygjk]

The man, "He's passed on now.". I wonder if he realized what he did there. 😂

[@horacioquartucci4364]

Being from Argentina, never heard of him, but he is very funny I look for him to see more shows!

[@soulstunner]

This was part of his HBO special You are all diseased back in 1999. 20 years before COVID. He was more than a comedian, he was someone that made you think about the world around you and the things he say have some truth to it.

[@AdaedA1]

Awesome, Alexis needs more George ! “Saving The Planet” “Trillion Uncle Daves”

[@bidwell13]

George Carlin was such a great comedian. He never cared what you thought. I loved him in “Dogma” and “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back”.

[@espenvippen]

George Carlin is both funny and true in what he tells.😊

[@prellen]

Love George Carlin ❤️🙏😇📺📼📽️🎬💙💛🇸🇪.

[@carn9507]

Carlin is a legend and Alexis' smile is gorgeous. :)

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Carlin did the original weekend update, in early 60s, in black n white, on a variety show...suit, desk, and the paper shuffle..my favorite news flash was as follows... ( Deeddeddeedee ) ..." this just in...Man attemping to walk around the World today...DROWNED! )..😂😂😂

[@vaughnnewman8903]

Had the honor of seeing him live once. What made Carlin great, besides great comedy, was also that he was a philosopher as well.

[@nedrini1055]

I have always taken this germ bit to heart. I wash my hands when they’re dirty and that’s it. I don’t use antibacterial this and that in my immune system is as strong as an ox

[@clubberlange4119]

God I can remember waiting for his annual HBO special. We watched it live with a group of us and lots of party favors.

[@HEAVYMETALmovie1981]

*MORE* George Carlin please!

[@PaulAJacksonMusic]

George Carlin "Saving The Planet" is a must

[@MrDabulls23]

Carlin - Saving the Planet, is a must.

[@dicknijenhuis9894]

Carlin was my favorite comedian growing up. I liked the fact that he could take everyday things and satirize it. Cheech and Chong were a close second.

[@Tommy-wm8gi]

Funny and brilliance . relevant then now and for ever. Keep digging

[@vernhoke7730]

Rest in peace George. I had the pleasure of seeing George back in 1979 and 1980 at a little dinner club. For around $20 bucks you got a choice of a couple different meals and tickets to the show. I think my 1st taste of George was his album "Toledo Window Box" in the early seventies. I think that special was from the mid eighties, one of many on HBO.

[@jbs256]

Great choice Birch! I have George on vinyl! I saw him at The Bally’s Hotel Casino in Vegas (now The Horseshoe, previously The MGM Grand (OG version)). I love him! He started on The Ed Sullivan Show, suit and tie, man! I like your list Burch I’d add Robert Klein. For a George, the 7 magic words bit, request. Joe

[@bradsundberg5997]

That was off the album "You're All Diseased". I believe it was released in 1999. He was the greatest! I wish he was still here. Great reaction guys!

[@HauntSlider]

This was an AWESOME choice to show Alexis based on recent years. I met George several times over the years including being an extra in a movie with him. He was an amazing man, and we need more people like him. Awesome choice for a video.

[@chada7094]

Have this whole routine and come back to it often, I never forget since then to wash the 4 key area s and I thank George and being exposed to Germs for a strong immune system. He's great, happy to see Alexis enjoyed him. Forever missed. Loved all those comedians you mentioned Burch.

[@Rick-or2kq]

George wouldn't lose his mind; he would keep ours straight.

[@hellsgunz1006]

Your take on this was refreshing. Love the pretty lady there too 😍.

[@russelljoslinjr4387]

So amazing. Miss that guy!!

[@jayarr961]

More Carlin - great reaction

[@daledodson1279]

All Carlin bits are great, but early Carlin is the best!

[@fluffychelu]

Should do more stand up!!!👍🏾😂

[@rosemariediamond5948]

You need to take the deep dive! He is a total social genius. Relevant as much now as when he first performed his social commentaries

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Carlin, Pryor, Chappelle and Burr....The Mount Rushmore of Comedy!

[@rmweidner7596]

Burch, you've GOT to show "Seven Words You Can't Say on TV" to Alexis.

[@uliwehner]

may favorite american philosopher

[@user-pq9zc3uc7m]

Saw Carlin live in Tahoe in '86. What a show, what a treasure. His bits are so funny because they are about REAL stuff. Honest and true, just put in a comic light. OK, Burch. Now start her at the beginning. "Al Sleet, the Hippy-Dippy Weatherman" is the 1st character I remember well. Or his album, "AM-FM". Something more cerebral would be Steven Wright.

[@kevinwallis2194]

Ive always had his same attitude. Eat boarder line things to keep your immune system strong. My in laws always get the flu shots and always get the flu. My family never gets flu shots and were never sick. ive not had a cold in 8 years.

[@exile220ify]

Ya GOTTA do his "flying on the airlines" bit :)

[@bobdelp2023]

👍TIMELESSSSSSS GUYS!😊

[@mikefetterman6782]

Gen Xer here too. The garden hose always was the coldest, tastiest water, we would regularly, somehow end up with mud in our mouths,......(tastes different than our mud at home). We rode our bikes (after our chores were done, first thing in the morning) all day, as far as we could go. Our play area was about 10 square miles, as long as we rode home before dinner. Of course, I still got my measels, diptheria, mumps, TB tests, German measels, and polio vaccines, plus it was mandatory that we all take our flouride tablet everyday of kindergarten. All the teachers had decorative paddles hanging on the wall by their desks with implied consent for it's use when needed. BB guns were popular items for "show and tell", teachers would allow students to "fight it out, a bit" before interceding. Our tolerance for rigorous activity physically and mentally was stronger, and bullies were something we all had to correct ourselves, as a rite of passage, a stage in growing up. All this bred independence and inspiration into our everyday lives. Anti depressants really started in the 90s, after litigation sensitized our schools. .............going to school with a foot of snow, and still snowing...waking at 4:30am to do your chores (without being told) ..........those were the days.

[@chrisparmarter8442]

My favorite bit is "Soft Language". If you followed George's career it is visibly clear he become a "little" more sarcastic and bitter in his last few specials but remained just as funny.

[@williamfrazier5010]

For me, George Carlin was the OG comedian. Lenny Bruce was before my time so I grew up with Carlin. The man was absolutely an iconoclastic genius.

[@maximilianschmid9890]

"It was very Strange Aeons: The thing on the Doorstep. That is not dead which can eternal laj and mit strange aeons even death mej daj."

[@ryanhutchins5334]

[@coreozurn4950]

I got to see George in 97. He was great. But it was a sad time for him, his wife had just passed and his daughter was touring with him to mourn together.

[@thesaltnation5570]

Please react to more carlin!! He is amazing

[@srt8rocketship241]

He was a certified genius.

[@ticnatz]

George the Brilliant......

[@zacherynicholascarter]

a father introducing his daughter to Carlin for the first time is unironically wholesome af

[@TWINAM]

That was a classic video clip George Carlin reminds me of another comedian Gallagher from the early 80's with his SHOWTIME classic videos he is very funny in person as well.

[@markcox731]

Can't wait for her to experience more George Carlin and the stuff that makes you think ❤

[@ronnielee539]

My favorite “ rub some dirt on it”. Grew up with G Carlin.

[@fabiotabaton314]

I remember swimming in sewage in Genoa when I was a boy!! 😂

Carlin should have been an immortal since his material is timeless. He'd have a field day today.

One of my favorite skits also. You should show Alexis Andrew Dice Clay poems! Another favorite of mine

[@angusrocks939]

when i was five or six my parents took me to a "chicken pox party". yes, apparently a kid in the neighborhood had the pox so myself and other youngsters were told, get it now while your young 'cause if you get it later in life....? that would be horrible. i'm talking party hats, noise makers, cake and ice cream, pin the tail on the donkey, door prizes, the whole nine yards. we were encouraged to share the noise makers, spoons, bowls, etc. etc., and get as close to everybody as you could. sure nuff, i got the pox. just a mild case. maybe just twenty or thirty poxes, maybe forty, over my entire body but manageable. and low and behold, the following weekend the party was at my house. a whole new set of friends that were not at the first party, some that were but had made it out pox-free. when it came time for my younger brother to attend such a party, i went with him. call me a party animal, but i was told/knew that you can only get it once. so i went out of my way to ensure Stu got it. and boy did he! could not tell if it is was one pox or three. his entire body was poxes. man he was suffering. i felt bad 'cause..... well, i made sure he had gotten it. but he survived and is doing quite well today. that was 50+ years ago. perhaps i shoul attend a "shingles party"???????? lol

[@alanlucio3442]

He was one of the best

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Hey gang, super. Reaction! more Carlin please! ❤

George Carlin was pure genius/ R.I.P. dear man. But if you want to shock Alexis show her some Sam Kinison, please, I would love to see that sometime. Everything that George says that makes us laugh is so true.

[@douglasforrester849]

Burch did you grow up in Southfield, Michigan in the 50's ?? That's what we had and did also!!!!
