Teen Reacts To George Carlin - 7 Dirty Words!!!

[@kdevinturner8778]

Great to see younger generations discover the genius of George Carlin. Funny how his humor still applies and resonates today. I was about 17 when I first heard him on the record player. I wish he was with us still. He would have had a field day in 2023. We sure need someone like him now. Keep up the good work Mr. Bailey.

[@grabble7605]

I first heard him as Rufus.

[@kdevinturner8778]

@@grabble7605 Rufus the dufus? I don't think so. It is Mr. Carlin to you Mr. Grabble.

[@Martin.Wilson]

Yup...same age when Class Clown came out and I never laughed so hard in my life. Carlin was always cutting edge and way ahead of his time, It's a rare and wonderful gift to still make people laugh after you're gone. He'll always be the gold standard of comedy for me!

[@susiepotatoes]

George Carlin offers sage wisdom through his comedy. He always said “don’t believe ANYTHING the government tells you.”

[@jainebartlett7062]

I’m a baby-boomer and remember when George Carlin was banned by major TV networks and practically every radio station. My friends and I drove to Memphis, TN, from our small Mississippi town to buy his albums in the 1970’s. George was one of my heroes. 😁

[@Barb5001]

Keep in mind that this is from decades ago when there was no internet or cable and just about 6 over the air TV channels in the US. Over the air broadcasts must follow certain FCC rules while most anything legal is OK on cable

[@rray848]

You mentioned him getting arrested... This routine came out in 1972... He was arrested for "Disturbing the Peace" when he performed this in Milwaukee.

[@jacobkubacki2719]

My dad let him out afterwards

[@johnkochen7264]

The best thing about this performance is how he modulates his voice and facial expressions. Pure genius.

[@kerrycronin256]

The sound of a record playing would really bring me back. Do it , absolutely

[@sherrysink3177]

I don't know why but George calling those words a "starter set" always cracks me up.

[@slinman100]

Your reaction to “Poontang” at 8:26 made me laugh so hard.

IMO it would be dope as heck to hear all the snaps, crackles and hiss from the record and such.

[@juliaryder4928]

How about some Carlin on vinyl!!

[@michaelzurilla7639]

@@TheDeadStretch Maybe get a clean copy?

[@violincredible]

@@michaelzurilla7639 Nah, go the vinyl, that's part of the magic of how a lot of us old farts discovered him, crackles, pops, hiss and all. (at least in Australia) -Made it feel even more windswept and interesting! Yeah, I know that's a Billy Connelly line: Billy, Derek & Clive, Python and Carlin on vinyl were like some scratchy contraband window to forbidden humour, disobedience and truth for some of us that were kids back in the '70s... And don't get me started on crappy re-copied cassettes of Bill Hicks a decade or so later!!

The court case that arose from Carlin's seven dirty words monologue set a precedent for what would be allowed on American television and radio to this day, with only a few exceptions since then. Landmark!

[@moonstone1159]

Back in the day, comedians put out LPs of their tours.

[@phdonme1]

The fact you went and got the record is amazing.

[@Martin.Wilson]

Silas, I was probably around your age in '72 when the album "Class Clown" came out and you're genuine belly laughs made 50 yrs disappear like magic. This was outrageous, cutting edge humour back in the day and in some ways, still is. It does my heart good to see George Carlin make yet another generation howl with laughter. This reaction is proof that great humour is timeless. Cheers from Alberta!

[@BobSwartzwelder]

The album cut of "Seven Words.." was played on a Ny radio station, and the FCC charged them with playing obscene material....It went to the Supreme Court (the Pacifica case).....look it up , it's fascinating.

[@pulsarstargrave256]

A portable record player? Something which NEVER should have disappeared from the marketplace!

[@MrDarkMagnus]

Just reading comments from fellow 'old farts' made me realize something. We first listened to it on low in our rooms. On our turntables or cassette tapes or 8-tracks (don't ask). Here you are broadcasting it around the world.

[@dpall38]

George Carlin is in the top three of all time comedians. His use of language and inflection is brilliant.

[@amejapan]

George Carlin, Richard Pryor... Who's the third? IMO there's a pretty big drop to #3!?!?

[@dpall38]

@@amejapan They are my top two. I always use a range in my comments because if you say George was the best, there is always some troll looking for an argument. After Carlin and Pryor you have to start categorizing styles.

[@EPShockley]

You really should look for the GC album, “Class Clown”. In addition to a lot of great, classic George stuff, the complete version of this “7 words” bit is so much better than this live version! (BTW… I’ve been fortunate enough to not only see George LIVE on three occasions, but even got to go backstage, to briefly meet him, after the first show, back in ‘83!) Keep up checking out the great stuff! 😁

[@kirksmith2051]

As a teenager I played the hell out of Carlin's "Class Clown" album. He won a Grammy Award for that album, by the way.

[@rogerhurtubise2150]

The best description I've seen for George was he made hamburger out of sacred cows. Richard Prior, Red Foxx, and him are just powerhouses of old school blue humor. Rest in peace to all of them.

[@vincentjoyce5100]

I think reacting to the record is a great idea. It’s how we all reacted to comedy in the first place.

[@BarredCoast0]

I'm 70 years old and I was your age when I was introduced to George Carlin. I liked him so much I collected all of his albums.

[@jainebartlett7062]

I’m 69 and had to drive 100 miles to Memphis, TN, to buy his albums. I would have gone further if necessary because he was banned from my small town’s radio station.

[@flubblert]

Check out George Carlin's Football vs Baseball monologue. And yes, the turntable album would be cool.

[@philipdickey6460]

Love his Icebox Man and A Place For My Stuff

[@sethraelthebard5459]

George was one of the last true great wordsmiths of the 20th century. not only could he invent and recall so many different words with Clarity and definition, but he had the intelligence to string them together in such a way as to reveal and satirize his own genius. There's a reason many people refer to George Carlin as "The Modern Prophet."

[@jeffgray8122]

Carlin was a master of the English language. His word play is legendary in the comedy world 🌎. I'm glad you found him. He always made laugh so damn hard. 😂

[@GrapefruitSoundLab]

This is what freedom sounds like.

[@IggyStardust1967]

This was the second or third of his routines I heard as a youngster. The first was "The Hippy-Dipper Weatherman, man". Carlin IS the master!

[@paulwolffart1251]

Oh man, I was introduced to Carlin by some older kids when I was 6 back in 1974. My mom was so mad when I repeated the little routine and went next door to have a word with the kids. 😄 Years later I bought the album they played me. Then my mother was really mad at me when my little brother was playing it for his friends when he was about 10.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Yep, Carlin is the master. But I have to correct you. I looked it up to double-check and it's The Hippy Dippy Weather Man, no Dipper. I came across 2 of his televised Al Sleet routines. Please watch George Carlin The Hippy Dippy Weather Man from 1978's 'George Carlin Again' and George Carlin on Carson - Hippy Dippy Weather Man 1966. That last one is in black and white and George has short hair and no beard. Wow! Al Sleet is eternal. Miss him!

[@janetdw]

Oh, I had forgotten about him! I love all the old comics. They were so clever and imaginative and brave considering the times. They were trying to get a career started at a time that society was really changing which threatens people sometimes. He was smart to keep his routines right on the edge. Even my father who was quite conservative really enjoyed him. Others were just too outspoken, so the message was lost.

[@paulregula2679]

Actually, a record reaction would be unique and epic!

[@billvegas8146]

GC's "Baseball VS Football" is a classic. It's on KZbin somewhere.

[@Muswell]

You are such a happy Lad. Enjoy your life.

[@TheCybrKnyf]

Mr Carlin was a MASTER of English Prose - Loquacious as only he could be, and to such a degree one couldn't help but stand in awe of his skill.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

That would be hilarious to do a reaction to a portable record player, laugh. I definitely seen certain kinds of older songs where the song itself is just a picture of the album, off on a 45 RPM single, but then I've seen other songs where it's a video of a nice turntable that's been hooked into the audio system and then you can see the guy setting the little down on the record and you can hear the crackling of the vinyl and so forth. I found it interesting because that's what I grew up with, that and the radio. I had around 2000 records and only just sold them during the pandemic. I had about the same number of CDs and sold most of those as well. I kept about 200 and then I kept about 50 record albums.

[@falcon215]

Growing up I used to always love seeing this guy on the tv. He always delivered. If you're on the George Carlin roll I highly, highly recommend going back to his 2nd album, the classic 'Class Clown' to hear how it all started.

George, and Cheech and Chong were the kings of comedy albums in the 70’s.

[@josephconsoli4128]

I saw him in the '90's here in New York. It was, in my opinion, the funniest period for him. The place was roaring laughing. A fairly large feather began to float down catching the light and Carlin knew everyone was watching it. He let it go for a minute and then pointed to it and screamed "that better not be asbestos!!". The place roared for at least a full minute straight.

And you would end up in some very deep discussions with your friends later. Loved George and he would be having a field day if he was still here now. RIP George, we miss you.

[@jmcquown]

I love the fact that you're reacting to one of the best comic minds that ever lived. He knew words and how to use them. He was arrested and temporarily detained after performing in a small town venue for using "indecent language". It was not televised, but that's what led him to come up with this routine. He was brilliant!

This was fantastic. I love the George Carlin comedy material from the seventies and eighties. "A Place For My Stuff" was my favourite GC album. His best imo.

How they do it...not sure of the exact mechanics.

As a kid, I bootlegged HBO way back in the late 70’s to watch this.

So George taught me some electronics and dirty words. RIP.
