George Carlin Interview

[@metaitachi]

It really does suck that Carlin is gone. It would have been great to hear him comment on anything current.

[@BenTIStudios]

metaitachi It' bad for ya is semi-current but not current enough I agree. Carlin told it like he saw it. He is the the number 1 stand up comedian of all time. Pryor coming in just behind him. Both those guys have influenced a lot of comedians so we are lucky with that at least.

[@alexgray6373]

Outkasted1980 Pryor influenced Carlin.

[@SC4211]

Thankfully, we still have Lewis Black to show just how nonsensical it all is. Kinda like Carlin if he just got more pissed off instead of divorcing himself from it.

[@BenTIStudios]

+Alex Gray he was one of them yes. they also worked together some.

[@brandonf24]

Unfortunately, Lewis Black....doesn't come close to the insightful social commentary George could field. Mr. Carlin had a gift and has left other political satirists like Bill Maher among others in awe. If George was alive today....I wonder what he would say about the contemporary social and political scene.

[@ZEITGEISTism]

What a great human being George Carlin was ! Totally honest and full of integrity Too bad his kind are a dying breed ( a real man !!)

[@RealTime88]

I got George Carlin's book Last Words for Christmas. It's amazing how personal he gets about his life, his comedy, and how he dealt with life in the 20th century and the 2000's. Some of the stories will surprise you but if you liked any of his books he wrote when he was alive, Last Words is a great read for you.

[@dallyplaysgames]

An intelligent, kind-hearted man. George Carlin was a prophet.

[@jamianm]

I agree. I think.

[@sonuEEE]

miss u george

[@mussman717word]

I was feeling totally and completely at peace until the very last split-second when Hannity's smug, condescending face momentarilly popped up on the screen. Quite frankly, it scared the fuck out of me. Nonetheless, thank you SO MUCH for posting this. George Carlin is a legend, and inarguably deserves that title.

[@NonFlyingDutchman]

Carlin sees no hope, but I see it otherwise... things have always been this way. The officials gain more and more power and the simple man loses his rights, until he's fed up with it and rises against the corrupt establishment. Every rotten empire eventually falls and gets a fresh starts from the ruins.

[@AWSVids]

George saw it coming. Geniuses always do. And nobody ever listens to them.

[@BL_Lacrosse]

George Carlin, Bill O'Reilly

[@toolkills]

all hail carlin..seriously what a mind blowing force he is/was....he checked the fuck out..and he really meant it....what a fascinating position to take ....i think i am right there with him

[@KSangel180]

I have so much respect for George Carlin.

[@RockNFknRoll]

I miss him so much

[@djburns318]

absolutely love carlin. no one can articulate the truth like him..."bunch of people running around selling each other cheeseburgers and sneakers"...so good. bless him and we need another like him soon to sober up this country.

[@reddavis4808]

An Comedic legend. I wish he was still around.

[@klitschkobrosfan]

nice interview-- thanks for uploading 5 stars

[@Vcc2cc]

Agreeded

[@obscure741]

George Carlin is famous in India too, you know what we see him as a 21st century Aristotle

[@733t13]

You know what? He's completely right.

[@amagad1989]

the interviewer looks like hes looking at his reflection in a metal spoon

[@giggles1987]

@Kiyaki777 me too! simply speaking the truth.. great guy.

[@guitardrew05]

if you see that this is the necessary dance for america to be what it is, then you feel apathy about right and left issues and politics in general, especially debating issues. carlin always knew this, and so just liked to have a lot of fun with people so passionate about political issues and religious issues.

[@PicoriPi]

I like the random guy at the end

[@ILoveSaintBernards]

R.I.P. George Carlin

[@mussman717word]

@savemyplaylist Why, thanks.

[@RapsAlive]

@Janusha Source?

[@jamianm]

Scratch that. I did mean Hannity, at the very last second... with that smile. lol

[@Kenlac92]

and with a smile, no less. had to just add that.

[@RobertoDiego737]

Such a cool and great guy, I miss him a lot. Always made us laugh but made us think at the same time. RIP Carlin.

[@RobertoDiego737]

Daniel Archer Indeed, The world is a lot more lonely without them. We need them especially in this decade. Think about what they would say about the kardashians and jersey shore, ha.

[@CornFlakesR1337]

I'm glad this video cut off on Hannity's smug face before he could say anything.

[@theonlygoodlookinghabsburg2081]

I almost vommitted holy crap.

[@actownsend7288]

That was funny at the end!!!

[@Blackdragon5151]

@23lFrench he's said before he doesnt like group mentality, he doesnt like being labeled even though technically you can label anyone for their political and social ideas

[@JazzyJonas]

I love the disgustingly smug, self-assured look on Hannity's face at the very end lol

[@ToxicMayo9]

That host looks like Rocky Dennis

[@TheMusicalStylingsofBrentBunn]

Who the heck was that guy at the end!?

[@jayybee2074]

Brent Bunn the dude that cut George off.

[@Hgh38]

Sean Hannity

[@TheMusicalStylingsofBrentBunn]

@@Hgh38 The five year mystery has been solved. Thanks 👌

[@generalares]

What a timeless man. Even as an old man he talked about how Americans can't take care of them like he is a man in his 30's or 40's. A timeless soul, unaffected by age and how inlighting he was. Rest in peace George.

[@ILoveSaintBernards]

Oops! My bad! It sure is nice that he and Alan Colmes were enjoying themselves.

[@dchains]

@94Cioppa He died on June 22nd, so this was uploaded 2 days after he died.

[@thecrimsonfloyd]

Did george ever do any directing work?

[@ferox965]

Saint George was beyond a comedian...he was a prophet and philosopher.

[@Catcherintherye11111]

THAT DUDES LEFT EYEBROW! LOL!

[@AnNoYiNsPo0n]

The mans a genius

[@shutterbugblues]

Some- the ignorant, self-centered Americans do, not all think like that. Like Carlin. He's wiser than that. His response about speaking freely was just against his backlashers.

[@w900L]

Why?

[@prowlie]

he was right about everything he predicted

[@pradaloafers]

what happened at the end of the video? Hannity reared Carlin's face?

[@ipsnagi9442]

He prayed to Pesci, I pray to him, mostly for him to come back. :P

[@Cabronosidad]

Wrong title my friend. This should be titled, "George Carlin sticks it to Fox!" Memorable stuff from George - the last man of conscience to have balls. Incredible that Fox ever aired this.

[@poconut10]

That awful picture that flashed right at the end scared the shit out of me.

[@bleebloe]

anyone know when this interview was?

[@media4401]

Well they talk about the Janet Jackson exposed nipple at the super bowl so around early 2004

[@johnelitist]

I believe I heard the aliens in Avatar were modeled after Colmes.

[@raiden3k]

that last frame of hannity was a bit disturbing

[@numerrita]

Illusion of choice!

[@Metallideth1993]

Only George Carlin could word a wonderful anti establishment opinion like this in such a way that Fox News would allow it to be shown.

[@qpSubZeroqp]

@nexpia mine was just a thought too then.. lol

[@RealTime88]

Love Jersey Girl!!!! Love George Carlin greatest stand-up comedian ever.

[@epshot]

People over property rights.

[@MuslimApostate]

uh suuuuuuuure

[@warrenb0]

He forgot "table or booth?"

[@controllerbrain]

Colmes looks like an alien

[@StalinBballin]

hahahahaha colmes face at 2:30-2:32 *DERRRRRP HE MAY BE RIGHT*

[@acidrazor]

Carlin was a prophet. "The illusion of choice" he said when asked if he'd vote come the next election. Now that Obama, the guy most likely not to continue the war, is in power... he sends more troops there... I love Carlin and I will always remember him

[@NormacHC]

Utah, Faux nées

[@andthewallscametumblingdow2451]

Yeah. It should be obvious at THIS point. >_>

[@Gawaine687]

"Sometimes I think Adam Smith's invisible finger is sometimes the middle digit."

[@TheAntiBright]

I hate Hannity so Very VERY much...

[@Paragon767]

He has not read the Adam Smith...

[@guitardrew05]

thats why people like him always say things like 'who cares, its all a game' etc. .... also, if someone says like he did that they look back on life and are ashamed of and dissapointed in the human race, as loathed as that will make them by some it is a perfectly valid feeling

[@MrWiskytangofoxtrot]

you can tell the guy interviewing him doesn't care about the wisdom being sent his way

[@MuslimApostate]

SO WHY STAY?!

[@shivamkunal]

3:30 awesome .. bill o reily should have been there!!!

[@shadylurker138]

@gcmb3790 yeah just that evil smirk, kind of disturbing too.

[@andtherewastex]

@Janusha This country was not founded as, or ever considered a democracy. It's a Constitutional republic

[@ponyboy316]

"balloon" would be a better way of putting it.

[@Flyboy243]

Alan Coulmes is probably the only one on Fox who has any dignity left...

[@efarmer385]

Thank you Carlin for your candle of hope in all this darkness. :(

[@oh_heeeyyy]

The number of poltical parties doesn't automatically make a democratic country. It can lead to a great deal of confusion and stagnation, meaning that things get done a lot more slowly. Certain European countries are suffering from the sheer amount of parties. It's all a matter of coalitions and a balance that can be ruined very, very easily.

[@tshirtjay]

Well said George.We all will miss you and your insite.R.I.P. Mr. Carlin.

[@Alithecomedian]

George is right, try go to the middle east and say whatever you want :P

[@Innacut]

fuck Fox, but Carlin is a legend.. Love that guy. I wish he was still around.

[@Seedofwinter]

Agree fully with Carlin on his opinion of American Culture, which is just raw, unbridled greed. I think he's wrong with his stance on saying we don't have "real" choices in the things that matter. We live in the age of the internet where most folks do get news from the internet, not just the big 3 media companies. As far as banks go, you don't need to have 15 banks to store money, it isn't serious. Government works if you could wring the corruption from it. THAT is going to take a new Party

[@RealTime88]

I think Hannity is way too conservative. Carlin rocks and I loved him in Jersey Girl. He was one of the greatest comedians ever. I miss him.

[@charliebrown3237]

And he was spot on! Illusion of choice! We all thought Obama was different!! It's all over but the crying people.

[@MsThebeMoon]

Charlie Brown Obama was different, but what you didn't know is that the President is not all powerful. Or you should know that by now. Right? We don't elect dictators, well, outside of large corporations.

[@TashWigley]

+Thebe Bashaleebee Because we don't elect, which is what Carlin was getting at.

[@MsThebeMoon]

+Nat Jay : I have no problem understanding Carlin. I grew up on him. You might want to address your comment to the OP.

[@TashWigley]

Thebe Bashaleebee I was addressing it to you. By stating that the president is not all-powerful, you appear to believe that the government actually makes the decisions.

[@MsThebeMoon]

Nat Jay : And congress doesn't block or filibuster. The president alone does not pass bills or make laws. WTF are you really getting at? And what about those government shutdowns. Do you really think the power is in the people where it should be? That's why George Carlin didn't vote though he has admitted to leaning left. What exactly do you believe? Give details and sources.

[@AizwellOfficial]

*Funny how later on George Carlin goes on Fox News and gets his mic cut.*

[@zochirho]

Well thank goodness they only showed his face for a split second. I can't stand to see Hannitys face for more than 2 seconds. The person who ripped this video had a lot consideration for the viewers hehe.

[@acidrazor]

@piccolo8344 And learning from Carlin and his stance on things, I'd retort with "He's dead, he doesn't care" ;)

[@Jalex_Owns]

Love George and miss the guy. Huge, huge fan. That said, the key - the cornerstone - of this whole point/argument that George seems to have missed is that to care about property IS to care about people and their rights and liberty. We - our bodies and minds and souls - are our own property. Rights are derived from property. Give up the protection of your property rights, and you lose protection of all rights. They're one in the same.

[@palefaced1]

You can imagine what he would say about Obama.

[@Dannyn829]

3:04 to 3:09 damn rip!!

[@maluse227]

@PITAParker actually he really did think that way all the time its in his bio and he wasnt a celebrity for a long while and he wasnt as well known for a very long time not to mention he was living hand to mouth for many years and then there was his drug problems. he had a good outlook on life and he never did anything just to make money or get a laugh read his bio its all explained in there.

[@redwallchannel]

The description is ingenius because he calls fox news 'faux' news. Although, faux is pronounced 'foe'... so it's really 'foe news' INGENIUS

[@elboogie1987]

i wouldve really liked to see what hannity had 2 say to this

[@RealTime88]

@lowprofile164 Why thank you. Most liberals are not good looking. George Carlin was an a great actor, writer, and one of the best stand-up comics of all time. I have read all 4 of his books. Jersey Girl is one of my favorite films. Only Carlin could play Ben's father well.

[@tonywords6713]

Legendary comedian/social philosopher interviewed by a ghoul of some form

[@44eelz]

wasnt the exercise of meaningless choices and activities mentioned in the movie capitalism a love story?

[@anonynaw]

George Carlin talking about FDR's second bill of rights... BEAUTIFUL. Rip.... everyone will miss you, you damned genius.

[@kook1028]

It's funny...even Adam Smith...the father of Capitalism said that "it isn't unreasonable to ask the rich to pay their fair share of taxes, and then some.."

[@jamianm]

Oh, whoops. Typo.

[@MetalHead420100]

extremely smart guy. i wish i could have met him, or seen one of his stand ups. or anything like that

[@pianist007]

It "wood of bean" great if you just read more about George Carlin before making stupid comments !

[@downcard11]

That was hilarious. Great words used. Simian. Great.
