George Carlin predicts 911

[@HoppTV]

he was a very intelligent comic who was able to foresee mankind's potential for disaster, and presented it in a comical way.

[@EightBall]

@Golemoid I know how he felt about "the invisible man in sky, spying us with a list of 10 things he doesn't want us to do". It was actually a joke.

[@Numonkei]

@BryonThePoet George Carlin's death broke a month for this mind. I am so glad to have seen him live, he seemed sick...but highly intelligent, he was. This was performed before 911, but after much government-right-wing-overlooked terrorism had already occurred. His entire last tour centered around suicide, immediately after my closest friend died from lighting himself on fire. It felt more personal than it was...because it wasn't personal. Carlin is/was as great as he has been and will be.

[@jtjr26]

carlin was the greatest stand up comedian ever partly because he said it like it is

[@onesong2001]

He was awsome. RIP George

[@ndeertrack]

@danning1 He was talking about the public's fascination with disasters and watching news about said disasters on TV. He said the closer to home the better.... but not *too* close. He's interpretation of it may seem over the top, but have you noticed the way news media has glorified 9/11 and how much people gobble it up year after year after year? We can't seem to get enough of memorials, tributes, speeches, reruns of the footage, books, discussion, tears, etc.

[@dzpisx]

@nanderv I know but since I saw it was 18 seconds I thought Carlin was going to be alittle more direct like "On september 11, 2001 two planes will hit the twin towers in New York" Then yeah George Carlin would've been pretty spot on about that...

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

Yeah- cause buildings have never crumbled before. I thought this clip would be about " taking over an airplane with forks and knives"

[@Shadowcontheoriginal]

He lived happy, He Died Happy, And now hes dead and still happy. Rest in Peace George Carlin. God is laughing with you, not at you. See you when i get there.

[@heycolslaw]

you can build any kind of message you want to with sound bites...just remember , you're accountable.

[@marktrib]

@kowtiein actually this was before 9/11 . He did this in jammin in new York. Complaints and grievances was the show that followed 9/11.

[@bdgmrman]

Seal Team 6: Dammit we got the wrong guy.

[@ShepherdsRest]

@MissTrue8Wolf Yes this is totally out of context ! George is a fantastic world observer, not a chump

[@cepson]

He wasn't predicting 9/11. He was predicting the Transformers movie. George Carlin could see the future!

[@cheapy2006]

george's best line-"armpits, asshole, crotch and teeth!!"

[@CaptnFiretruck]

@nanderv Actually he wasn't being sarcastic, he was being serious, and thats why its funny

[@DeadsvilleFilms]

Is it Nostradamus? Nope, George Carlin!

[@RealEnerjak]

@Shadowcontheoriginal He didn't believe in God, but he did believe in a greater intelligence that we'll never understand. He described it as being "The Big Electron". It doesn't punish, it doesn't reward, it just simply is.

[@abcxyz123]

@debspeelman sad? He married to another woman after his first wife died and they were extremely happy. But his genes don't allow him to be so happy 24/7 like you are. You don't need to feel sorry for him, that's what happens with geniuses like him, they can't just be happy and smile all the time. Glad we have these people, shame he's gone!

[@carlitos05]

He obviously was the Nostradamus of our time!!

[@gnxgato]

He's Rufus man of course he could predict the future!!! Excellent!!!! (guitar solo) werr werr werr werr

[@Xentradi97]

Watch George Carlin's piece on airline safety. He does predict hijacking of the plane. Not because he's an oracle but because he can spot a gaping loop hole in logic behind things.

[@JBroMCMXCI]

@IceMetalPunk You have my apologies, good sir.

[@yourmamac]

Check out his life aint worth living tour if you think this was taken out of context

[@indyman1223]

@ultimentman2 that just sounds like any other old building explosion, in no way whatsoever does it ever hint anything along the lines of new york, world, trade, center, or airplane

[@Kevin7M]

you know who did predict 911? Glen Beck.

[@CntthnkO15]

George Carlin was a philosopher.

[@bigfatmanwithballs]

so... who thought this was going to be another great quote by Carlin?

[@CatLady999]

@cloudwind1 Point taken, you are right. I can easily be wrong about this video as the posting date could be misleading. Thank You.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@SPARTAN9999999991 I've only ever seen that word spelled "kumquats"...seeing it with a C (which apparently is also a correct spelling) just gives me an image in my head that makes me never want to eat kumquats again.

[@VoreTechz1985]

@busterbrownation He said chunks of concrete and firey wood. I was refering to the concrete part lol

[@faffaflunkie]

At least he's a happy guy.

[@m-mabnans]

He didn't predict it, he just address the GLARING oversight everyone should have seen. It's like saying he predicted the sun would rise tomorrow, when everyone else denied it.

[@nanderv]

Yes, indeed, 18 seconds are the right way to quote things.. And: this is called sarcasm..

[@debspeelman]

He was a very unhappy man at the end. NOTHING made him happy. So sad.

[@EccentricGrump]

He didn't predict a damn thing.

[@SPARTAN9999999991]

@IceMetalPunk I don't remeber seeing the word kumquats or cumquats written out as a word before so I wouldn't know how to spell it. I've only heard it.

[@skyeISaFREAK]

people jumping off the roof big chunks of concrete falling out of the sky & people are tryna get outa the way? sounds abit like 911 to me :s from the ground

[@cupcakechagrin]

I think pre 9-11 he was promoting a book called something like..."I like it when lots of ppl die" right before that tuesday.

[@firestrings272]

@glenwoodfin Nah, he just knew how to think.

[@MechanizedCaffeine]

@Codex1 nah, never, ever feed the trolls

[@TheOJDrinker]

Hahaha yea George, you tell them about how people are gonna jump off the World Trade Hospital with their crutches... wait, what?

[@NOTHINGAVAILABLEKQ]

in the words of george carlin himself: Its not the words that make it bad, it is the context! it's the context!

[@shawnandpenny]

@Shadowcontheoriginal i agree. he was the best. i think people would be so much better off if they would listen to what he is REALLY saying!

[@cloudwind1]

@upallhours9 think to yourself for a moment. and realize that this stand up routine could have been recorded much longer ago than this video was posted.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@SPARTAN9999999991 Yes. (Centuries ago) the Mayans predicted the end of the world (will occur) next year.

[@Memento3301]

R.I.P George Carlin!

[@SpellboundWolf]

Chaos sucks, but without it what would we do?

[@chazzybadazz]

I said air for the fact u never see air. U see substitutes of air. But never physical presence itself. Since when can u see the air we breathe?? Exactly

[@kappapi560]

Have a sense of humor about it people. George would laugh at this.

[@EightBall]

I'm sure George is up there watching you and he's quite upset by what you did...LOL

[@Shadowcontheoriginal]

Trololololololololo. That is for everyone that got mad for nothing.

[@stevedugger7552]

911 saw people jumping from two doomed buildings..jump to your death or burn..Carlin was a great comedic genius...but his callousness and anger was clearly apparent in the last days of his life...

[@williamkendrick]

lets flag it. flag for scams/fraud. just cuz we can.

[@kajjagoogoo]

@shugar5263 The day you stop asking questions is the day you hand over control of your brain.

[@Shadowcontheoriginal]

@bloodyhawk989 yes but there are dictionaries. You should check one out sometime. It may help you leave feasible comments someday.

[@Scaltt]

....No. He predicted some scenes from the Dark Knight, genius.

[@macbeasty]

Sounds like he predicted that scene from Dark Knight.

[@checkin4]

If this is Carlin predicting 9/11 then the Beetles predicted the supreme court ruling for George Bush in 2000 when they wrote,. "Let It Be!"

[@IceMetalPunk]

@JBroMCMXCI No apologies necessary; your enlightenment is all I could ask for :P .

[@41mikmac]

Your questions and more are answered by Googling, "September Clues."

[@ojberrettaberretta5314]

its like a scavenger hunt

[@VickyTheVickname]

@madgrinchhatter He screamed IMA HAPPY DAY. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo, yeagh.

[@kadene2]

@trakomako You're correct; it wasn't meant to be a predicition. But the Jesus fanatics form their predictions just like that, and when something close finally happens, they say "the prophecy has come to pass"! Same technique...

[@Elpithecus]

@Elpithecus and srry for the typos its my BB its just collapsed,,,like the systm LOL

[@MrBlackOps291]

sounds like Dark Knight.

[@d4rkst4rd351gn]

AHAAA this was great. i think this was taken from the "hollywood" segment.

[@Daviticus042]

I think he was in on it!;)

[@Golemoid]

@latronpe he was atheist, hes just gone

[@Elpithecus]

This was a part of a joke in ehich he impersonated a typical american fascinated ny violence and blood and mayheem...using that as an example of the collapsed social and moral standards in the States...it was very fun actually...IN this case we need the context...

[@Bxtskul1l]

George abides!

[@BolsaDeDushe]

Oh my god...george carlin knew all along...how did we not see this?!?!?! you have too much time on your hands.

[@pdldude]

if anything, "you are all diseased" predicts 9/11. His first bit he talks about airport security, and how easy it is to to kill a pilot. And lists lethal objects that they will allow you to take on board. This was his last stand up special before 9/11 (1999).

[@Ilovedthe70s76]

I love George RIP

[@Wiskrbiscuit]

Oh shit, 2012 dislikes... is he also predicting the end of the world!

[@Cristasphoto]

Puh lease! This means nothing!!! Ya'all need to quit the herb if its weirding you out that much lol

[@RFP15]

@mocaba: The show that this clip is from debuted in 1992. You are incorrect.

[@mclightime]

In The Land of The Blind ( people who refuse to see,as in not clinicaly blind) the One Eyed Man is King ( anyone who has enlightenment and enabled the use of their Third Eye ,Pineal )

[@TheR88R]

"Complaints and Grievances" was originally named "I Kinda Like It When A Lot Of People Die" but he changed it when 9/11 happened.

[@INMATE2468]

Lmao wow.. bet next ur gonna say his an " iluminaty" uuuu :0

[@DobermannPharaoh]

he did this joke in 2007 6 years after 9/11 - here is a prediciton - in 200 years ago the Steam Engine will have was re-invented gonna be....

[@SPARTAN9999999991]

@IceMetalPunk A prediction doesn't mean it's true. The only reason you should believe that is if you're part of the Mayan religion and culture. You don't believe things that other religions believe in but you believe what the Mayans think. Predicting, does not make everyone phychics. Predictions are just guesses.

[@elpollodelamuerte]

EPIC TROLL!

[@ranzures]

definitely out of context. have some respect for one of the brightest american minds.

[@VickyTheVickname]

Thumbs up if after this, you listened to the happy days theme.

[@SPARTAN9999999991]

@IceMetalPunk They predicted with an ed which means if happened in the past followed by next year which is in the future?

[@zumobster]

i miss Bill Hicks

[@kris6682]

@CoCowboy692000 ive heard most if not all of carlins material and was never once offended his material was funny and thought provoking he was in fact a comedic genius anyone that can make you laugh and reevaluate the way you think at the same time is a genius the fact that you cant see that only shows that you are closed minded and petty

[@yxrcbszg]

More like the scene from "The Dark Knight"

[@checkin4]

@paleblue498 Yes; you're right and I should type more carefully. But I think that the point was clear enough...unless, of course, you missed it.

[@Ninjewdi]

Soooo... Yeah. Paranoid ass! :D

[@Gtownskaterboy]

Ok, some of what Alex says is the truth, like we have no rights and America is out to fuck the world over, but think about it, it doesnt take a genius to figure this shit out.

[@Kleptul]

@ilovebelladonna Definitely. Just like Michael Moore.

[@naseerupload]

@jkallboys where the hell that judgement came from....

[@sakinehbs]

its funny as hell LOL

[@rentedhalo]

@ronczselowitzcki stop yelling about fire and brimstone. george carlin was a jester and a wise guy. he worshiped the sun, and he spoke his truth. he advocated personal freedom and he was a big fan of entropy. he was a great guy and i'm glad he spoke up while he was here... one should not speak ill of the dead.

[@osiris3yhn]

@chazzybadazz of course its real, im standing on one right now!

[@Davshotgoliathh]

@CoCowboy692000 Welcome to the internet my good sir. Filled with double standards and trolls every step of the way. On a side note, it's shotkill2, not shotkill.

[@JBroMCMXCI]

@IceMetalPunk No they didn't. Their calendar ends next year but you know what they said happens after that? They start their calendar over. People these days have said the Mayans said the world will end next year, but it simply isn't true. They did not predict the end of the world. We may all still die next year, but the Mayans didn't predict it.

[@abcxyz123]

Though the title is misleading I clicked on the like button because George Carlin is in it. Did I do something wrong here?

[@VladamirReznov]

@polypropeller only one week. Be ready.
