George Carlin Bashing - Bill Burr vs O&A

[@atlg8or6137]

Carlin never rambled on stage. Every phrase, every word, was planned.

If George Carlin did not exist, we will not have Louis C.K, Chris Rock, Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle. They have great observational skills. Geniuses.

Pryor was that guy. Even Carlin's favorite.

@@Reezer83 nope. both were. as far as comedic influence is concerned, carlin is way ahead, partly because he lived longer, but either way both are legendary comedy influencers. carlin influenced Chappelle and chris rock too you know.

[@The_ScapeGoat]

​@TheMightyBLAT no. It's comedians' job to "speak truth to power" and raise everyone's consciousness. They're supposed to be self important, not funny. Funny is offensive, and that's just not acceptable. Ask any "comedian" today. They'll tell you how vital they are to society.

Don Reuter They were obviously Gate Keepers man. Still are. I mean, wtf was their problem? And Ant just had to fucking add that racist shit in the beginning "It was like he was rapping" lol he's got jokes man and that's what I've always loved about Ant but fuck, when I go back and listen to a lot of shit there is alot of Venom in some of the shit he says.

[@-Trauma.]

SYKO THE LAST OUTLAW Shut the fuck up and learn to size people up. Jesus fucking Christ I know not everybody is racist but the flips side to that is not everybody is non-racist either. I've been listening to O&A for 10+ years knowing Ant was a racist, wtf am I gonna do huh?

This was one of Carlin's most relevant specials of his career. It might not contain his most hilarious bits but he eviserated pc culture and wasn't afraid to tell the truth when everyone was still in post 911 uber patriotic blindness.

[@E101ification]

+Damocles' Sword - *"tell the truth"* - you mean spouting retarded 9/11 conspiracy horseshit? I liked Carlin but this image most of his fans have of this profound genius wise man who "saw the truth, _maaaan!"_ and was never wrong about anything is embarrassing.

[@bombnom]

Carlin barely said anything about 911. He said nothing about it in this special. I was talking about his bit about the"owners of the country".. people are edjucated just enough to run the machines but not ask questions. it's a big club and you ain't in it.

[@benedicitesol4429]

Damocles' Sword that's not profound that's basic college sophmore type "whoa the government is corrupt maaan" stuff.

[@bombnom]

Benedicite Sol I didn't say it was profound. I said it was relevant. Things were different before the internet became ubiquitous. Carlin's career was in constant flux. He changed his style as he got older. At this point he'd added in some of his spoken word dissection of the English language and slang. Nobody says you have to like it. His best stuff was when he could do more physical comedy bits in the 80's & 90's.

Funny Anthony is much funnier than Carlin.

[@SirTeb]

I'm sorry but... am I going crazy? I've watched a good portion of George Carlin's shows from the start up until 2008 and... I can tell you for a fact there's no such thing as "Carlin rants for an hour and no jokes". Every 2-5 minutes he either cracks a joke or explain something in a humorous way. Hell, just watch the Religion is Bullshit bit and see how he's point of "babble and then applause" is completely destroyed by the fact that the people are CONSTANTLY LAUGHING. And that's just one bit. In fact, I've laughed harder at Carlin's more recent (90s - 00s) "rants" when he was making a thoughtful critique of current events while keeping the flow with CONSTANT JOKES. Carlin's older material, although still great, was a bit too quick, high energy and impulsive. Most of the time (most, not all) the jokes were stand-up at local club quality, funny but no real reason or meaning to them, just quick stabs for quick laugh.

[@leebrennan5790]

Ant is reaching sooooo badly in this bit. I get what he's trying to say about the preachy stuff, but old Carlin was way more thought provoking, funny and savage than young Carlin. Even his shittiest material is more relevant than Ant's tired black joke/ass backwards political talk. Ant's only useful when bantering with Jimmy Norton, which was when he was at his funniest. Besides, that Carlin bit of memorizing those rhymes only lasted less than 5 minutes out of his entire special. Big deal. They cherry picked his preachy political parts of the special, when there were plenty of actual jokes outside of that.

[@robertovaldivia1573]

J P189 No real point to that question. No one could ever know the answer. The fact is he is dead and is still talked about with the likes of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, etc. Plenty of artists have had no relevance in life and exploded after death. George stayed in the spotlight both in life and death.

I just find it infuriatingly and IRONICLY, annoying that Opie seems to be able to critique faults in Carlins pure gold, without reflecting and learning from them, And instead, being unable to see the IRONY that he's the faults in, even this God Damn Clip! How dare he try and drag Bill into trashing Carlin, it made me cringe so much.

So here, he isn't just talking about the peculiarities of the things people say, but he's demonstrating it by reciting the shit he wrote. It's not for everybody, ok, but cut him some slack. Try writing for once, write some rhythmic patterns, and try to say something meaningful; see how well you do. That's the point; it's showcasing his linguistic skills, and I can appreciate that. It doesn't have to be funny, the main point is to try and produce something that is linguistically clever, but still makes some kind of sense. It is why Eminem is considered a great lyricist; because he has amazing rhyming skills, but still manages to actually say some shit that's worth listening to. That's what Carlin is doing in that bit, and I really don't mind that it's not super funny. I do agree with Ant, however, that towards the end, Carlin came off as a bitter old man. He managed to make it funny most of the time, but there were definitely moments during his last shows where I felt like he was just a too angry, and I never liked that. I do respect Ant's opinion as well, because Ant is one of the funniest guys I've ever heard. But he was being too harsh on Carlin.

[@Zettel9016]

I find that the people who accuse Carlin of being "bitter" are incapable of facing the truth. Really now...whose point of view best reflects reality? Yours or his?

[@XaeeD]

That makes no sense. What are you even trying to say? One's perspective on life is completely subjective, but people notice it when others are bitter. You can be critical all you want, but you can do it without the anger. Sometimes, you have to be angry, that's certainly true, but I got the feeling that Carlin, towards the end, was indeed bitter. In some of his material at least, and its presentation. I can't comment on his personal life. What's wrong with that observation? Am I not facing the truth? What truth would that be? And truth according to who? And what exactly is reality anyway? Since it's all subjective and based on personal experiences, I can say whatever I want. My views are a better presentation of reality than Carlin's, yes. What else? Would you like me to say that Carlin's view of the world was truer than mine is? It's not, not from my point of view at least. Or would you say that your own sense of the world is inferior to Carlin's? Or do you mean something specific? Because you made a very vague claim about it. Do you own objective reality, so that you can compare people's opinions and views and see which one's closer to the truth? Cause if you don't, then what makes you say that Carlin's views are truer than mine? All I said was that Carlin was bitter, which is an opinion. Is that the criterion? If someone's angry, and some other calls him bitter for it, does that automatically mean that the latter's view of reality is inferior to the former's?

[@thagoff]

because he ain't the comedic genius that carlin was. it's as simple as that.

[@julianmangan9752]

I dislike Opie as much as the next guy but the way he brought reluctant Burr into the conversation was so skillful that I actually considered it being an accident. Give credit where credit is due.

[@Zeroxylon]

i know im in the minority here but george carlin isnt great imo, to me hes facebook if it was a human being. Hes not saying anything new or revolutionary.

[@Bruceybaby2009]

Carlin was doing his best stuff in his later years. Hands down one of the greats of all time.

[@iAmEdwinHamilton]

Carlin told the truth and sometimes the truth ain’t funny ya know

George Carlin was a brilliant funny comic that blew peoples minds with truthful humor.

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

I like how Ant is simply not allowed to not like Carlin’s specific stand up. Like Carlin’s legendary status made him immune to criticism.

[@gks12]

I hate that. All those old comedians with legendary status. I think students became the masters. Carlin for sure wasn't at the cutting edge of comedy in his 70s...

[@mickeypang]

Wow Bill Burr throwing out some truth and for a cringe worthy transformation from corny,behind your back , flopping fish out of water into a sweet sixteen discussing their clothing brands then go back to being a "hack" . Thank you Burr for exposing a shock jock moment

[@KreepCA]

Some carbon copy hack radio show duo that's never done an original thing in their lives being disrespectful to a legendary originator past his prime, then talking about being "brave". Good job.

[@jzi4]

George Carlin was NEVER past his prime, he died in it.....

[@trickster6669]

You're right about carlin, but O&A are far from hacks or a carbon copy, it really just shows what you know about comedy that you'd call O&A hacks, especially when George Carlin himself was on the show and enjoyed it but you are right, Ant is just being a douche because he just hates Carlins political views

That special was a fucking master piece.

[@RexNunc]

Dopie and Pissanthony attempting to besmirch a comic giant is amusing in its own right.

[@andrewschuschu3499]

To borrow the words of someone else on this thread, Carlin was the LSD of comedians- not only did he hit you with good real content, but the way he did it was an actual performance. Shit that guy performed his ass off. He was alive on stage when a lot of comics stumble around the stage and putz around. This guy was a stage animal. It was like watching a regular good pitcher pitch vs watching Randy Johnson pitch- that guy brought pitching to life, there was no boring game he played in. Not a lot of people enjoy it but his prose and approach were what made Carlin great- he'd use an amalgamation of catch phrases around a topic to critique they way we talk, the way we talk about a topic, and would then dip into the content and then back out again. He used every part of the joke buffalo.

[@no_one_of_that_name_here]

George Carlin being shit on by someone who can barely talk and couldn't say anything funny if he was reading a Mel Brooks script out loud. That, Alanis, is ironic.

[@kawaiiafangirl]

Ant bashing George Carlin on the guy's 45th year in his career... Ant won't even be in the business anymore on his 45th year, let alone be relevant. Plus, how many entertainers (comedians, musicians, and actors) can remain relevant and stay at their peak in their 45th year?

[@jamessantos9861]

The problem is that O and A have a small idea of what comedy must be and the next issue is that they label Carlin a comic. Carlin was a philosophical comedian and a writer. Labeled the “thinking mans comedian” and it couldn’t be more true. From my teenage years until this day I’ve never listened to Carlin with an expectation to laugh a lot. I listened to learn and think and laugh occasionally. At no point have I ever been bored listening to Carlin. If you’re not laughing while hearing him, you should be thinking.

[@jordanrioscreations]

When did this conversation originally take place? Someone’s a little late to the party here with this video haha still great either way

[@parkerpittsburgh5701]

carlin is a legend. watch the documentary about him and you'll twice as much appreciate ever hearing his voice

[@firstgenchevelleman]

Carlins last standup was a lecture

[@kellybrandmeyer8654]

Of course Anthony doesn't agree with anyone who has different politics than him.

[@E101ification]

+Kelly Brandmeyer - Wait, what? Of course he doesn't. How can you agree with someone who has different politics than you? Having different politics than someone else is just another way of saying you disagree with them - I mean, it literally means the same thing. Your sentence might as well have said "Of course Anthony doesn't agree with anyone he doesn't agree with." It's impossible by definition to agree with someone you disagree with. It might possibly be the most pointless comment I've ever read.

[@tomkruze1304]

No shit, but the point he was making is that the COMEDY special was not funny. Has nothing to do with politics.

[@ELPoleToeLoco]

Who is Opie and Anthony?

[@guthax30]

It's kinda funny hearing them call George irrelevant when you consider the fact that his YT clips get way more views these days than any of the old O&A stuff.

[@wellzenn]

This is one of my favorite O and A clips ever. Any other radio douche would have just kissed Carlin's ass. I love that they're mostly doing it just to fuck with Bill too lol

[@EatCarbs]

Carlin is a legend. I never get tried of hearing this stuff.

[@whoshotya117]

How does he not get hes pointing out the ridiculousness of society with that monologue?

[@JoeLewis14]

Sorry, but this guy couldn't be more wrong. I just watched his last one and it could have been recorded yesterday. It is that relevent.

[@MannyFlanders]

I just find it infuriatingly and IRONICLY, annoying that Opie seems to be able to critique faults in Carlins pure gold, without reflecting and learning from them, And instead, being unable to see the IRONY that he's the faults in, even this God Damn Clip! How dare he try and drag Bill into trashing Carlin, it made me cringe so much. He did that purely because he thinks talking at (and somtimes over) funny people until they say something funny, counts as not being a hack radio host. Also Uncle Paul is a great wingman, punching out.

[@Productions-rf5he]

Carlin hurt some peoples feelings with what he said. He knew that the stuff he was saying would be penalized in some form or fashion. Therefore, he was thinking ahead. Comedy is the truth.

[@elliottberry6259]

Ive been to three Carlin gigs, and I can tell you it's not all about listening to jokes, sometimes it's more about hearing things that need to be said. Period

[@shamelessplug06]

Ant's right when he said that George Carlin isn't funny as he used to be especially with his bits. Though, he's become super fucking smart in his late years. Modern day philosopher more than a comedian.

[@freyathesage1749]

They act like the whole fucking special was the poem and him preaching. There was tons of hilarious jokes throughout the special. Many comedians have screeds in their specials where they don’t tell jokes the whole time, Richard Pryor, Dave Chappell, Patton Oswald, Bo Burnham, to name a few. George was a modern day Diogenes and I would gladly hear anything he had to say.

[@gonz9278]
