With George it was never "just comedy"... Every word he said came from such a genuine place. The later he got into his career, the less of shit he gave about making people laugh, and the more he cared about just telling profound truth... Changed my whole life for the better as a young kid in the 90's, and taught me the importance of critical thinking.

Yes! George only had "a handful of ideas" ... but the way he continued to refine them .. .. ..

Me, too. I like his quote about rooting for the asteroid hurtling toward Earth rather than the people on it

[@ChurchNietzsche]

@anthonypagano4304 it is a fatalistic approach (Christopher Titus Mirrors it), but he has a point. I always loved "Save the Planet (AKA Earth+Plastic)"

[@hoon_sol]

And the best part is, the more he stopped giving a fuck and started just saying what he really meant, the harder people laughed, because they realized at a guttural level how much bullshit is wrong with society.

I turn 40 this year, and I refer to Carlin as my second father. That man is responsible for teaching me the value of questioning everything. I got the opportunity to see him live just a few months before he died, and he was as funny and informative as ever. The one and only celebrity I ever mourned over. The world is worse off now that he's not here. I often think about what he would be saying about current events going on right now.

George is such a fucking legend. I remember first discovering him years ago and watched practically every video that exists of him, and every special he did. Absolute comedy genius

[@ronraptr4863]

The best and worst thing about Carlin is that his routines are timeless. I still get to enjoy him, but it's timeless because nothings changed and his bits are still relevant

[@ericwilliams1031]

The Ice Capades was something you went to with your parents. Kinda like Disney on Ice. Love George Carlin.

[@RyanRichardsToby]

I describe the Ice Capades more like this (because the decade is important): In the 1980's, Sesame Street characters or Disney characters or other kids' characters would put on ice skating performances.

[@alexanderingraham8255]

Please share George with your friends. We’d be a much better society of more people listened to him.

[@connie7128]

I'm so happy to see someone in a younger generation discover Carlin. I grew up on him, and honestly, he shaped my sense of humor and my take on so many things in life. To this day, my brain works like his - question everything. Ask why, and poke fun of anything that doesn't seem rational.

[@timbingen4772]

He shaped my take on life also. His take was actually the way it was and sadly still is.

[@umpdaddy1]

His "Seven Dirty Words" routine is comedy gold. He was a student of language and a master at using it. Every word he spoke during his performances was thought out, scripted and delivered with masterful cadence and timing. He was a genius.

[@phriedokra6158]

His dad was as well....

[@lisabrandt8995]

The Seven Dirty Words way back in the 1970's put George front and center in American culture and he never stopped! I'm sure it's still a must hear!

[@PhazonInfuser]

Something most miss when watching him. He had a linguist's mastery of language. One of the most eloquent people I have ever seen.

[@mojohand10]

The Philosopher King! I got to see Carlin live 9 times... the greatest ever. His bit on the environment is amazing! Though it's not my favorite, his bit on the 7 words you can't say had a legitimate impact on 1st amendment rights... and "stuff" is just a classic. All of his HBO specials are masterpieces and they truly get better as he gets older.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

His most famous one is called Seven Dirty Words, I believe. Also, I bet you would love the Patton Oswalt stand-up comedy. A great introduction is America Has Spoken.

[@stevensprunger3422]

Yes the seven dirty words

[@wardka]

But it's not really his funniest in my opinion, just shocking for its time.

[@tomwisniewski8988]

It does my heart good to see a younger generation discover George and keep him alive.

[@Heatsauce70506]

He makes you think and laugh at the same time, not bad for a comic.

[@jwbjpb1338]

Carlin was pure genius. He saw thru the absurdity of society, government and religion. He saw the greed of the wealthy and their hatred of society and the control that religion has over people

[@MrThesem]

Carlin was perhaps the greatest stand-up comedian of all time. I started listening to his albums when I was a teen back in the early 70's, and he never really stopped making me laugh from that point on. If you're going to react to more of Carlin please consider checking out some of his earlier material to get a sense of younger George. His albums and stand-up material from the Class Clown, Occupation:Foole, A Place For My Stuff era is all excellent. His material was a bit tamer, but just as funny and still thought provoking. I'm sure you'd enjoy it all. Damn, I sure miss George Carlin.

[@Code9]

I'm sure Silas would enjoy some of George's earlier stuff, like from the 70s and 80s but, honestly, most of it is so filled with cultural and social references and people, places and things that Silas won't get because so much of it no longer exists.

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

Well, yea... ALOT of people know "This guy". He is one of the greatest comedians of all time, even smong other comedians. Most great comedian alive today has Carlin as one of their biggest inspirations. He is almost unanimously considered one of the best, sometimes THE best, ever. Youre not stupid tho, youre just young. If you knew George any earlier than this, I would be rather surprised. Hes generally not appropriate for kids and even if kids DID see him they really wouldnt get alot of his jokes so, late teens to early 20s is probably a pretty normal range to discover this genius. Nice video. Keep up the good work

[@melissaward6311]

He was the man in our day. Still is. Such a genius in his field.

[@Songfugel]

It is indeed comedy, but it also happens to be true

[@toddewing2437]

Glad to see you do this again. Dude, you are not stupid for not knowing him. Many in you generation do not. Yet, he was probably one of the most ground breaking comedians of all time. He broke the barriers back in the 60's and 70's. all comedians owe a debt of gratitude to him. Now, I would recommend his most famous bit was "The seven dirty words you cannot say on TV" but you probably need to watch that one off line. And remember, he did that bit before cable, when there were three networks and PBS who strictly controlled everything. There is much in the late 60's you should explore. It was a decade that defined everything about us today. (Please tell me you know who the Beatles are . . . )

[@leighbesstoad]

It's great to see someone your age getting into Carlin. Words and language were always his love. I've had the 7 dirty words memorized for over 50 years, from the first day the album came out. I saw him in concert a couple of times and it was an amazing experience. He went from a straight-laced, suit and tie comedian in the 1960s to the counter-culture icon he became in the 1970s. As he said about religion: "I used to be Irish Catholic. Now I'm an American. You know, you grow". There are 4 icons on the Mount Rushmore of Comedy -- Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Richard Pryor and Robin Williams. Listen to all of them. They are all incredible.

[@ChurchNietzsche]

Words were his passion, not a hobby. Hobbys cost money, passion is free.

[@ChurchNietzsche]

"Catholics, which I was until I reached the age of reason ... ..." Never gets old

[@jeffreymeyer4848]

Great comedy makes you laugh for five minutes... then think for five hours. And George was a master at that. Laugh with him... but think about what he's saying. Because once it's done being funny, brother, it's fuckin scary how true it all is. Genius!!!

Carlin's Soft Language routine is funny but also profoundly true, even more so today.

[@peteacher52]

Silas, I'm 75 and until relatively recently, I had never heard of George Carlin. I was following Billy Connelly on KZbin and up came this Recommended For You tab leading to George Carlin. And the rest, as they say, is history. Billy is the most immediately, outrageously rofl funny with some philosophy; George is deeply philosophical & satirical laced with a humorous repartee that leaves one gasping at his memory, his insight and his wide understanding of human foibles.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

How could you be 75 and never heard of George Carlin? Are you American? I’m 76, and he was EVERYWHERE in the 70’s….on TV, on Stage, writing best-sellers….

Great, funny reaction. I love your sense of humor. Gotta respect your reaction to George Carlin. I started watching him the 70s and saw him live in the late 70s or early 80s along with Joan Rivers and Garry Shandling. Those 3 comedians in one night was unforgettable 😅 Thanks for this!

[@debjorgo]

Saturday Night Live used to have a running skit where Joe Pesci had a talk show. It would always end with him taking a bat to one of his guests, and then busting the camera lens.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

Lewis Black is another comedian in the same vein. He does “rants” on various subjects and there are vids of whole shows on KZbin. He also performed at The Beacon, which was filmed. There are also shorter clips from these shows. He does a routine on the Old Testament and Christianity. You would fall over laughing…guarantee it.

[@tedcole9936]

Great reaction, Silas. I highly recommend George Carlin's "National Press Club Luncheon" speech... it may be a too long for your KZbin format, but it's top notch (A little on his background, then on language generally, then focusing on language of politicians.) He ends the talk with an amazing poem about 'a modern man.' IMHO this is George at his very best.

[@VH7420]

It's great to see you watch him for the first time. George Carlin gives a great gift each time I watch him.

[@clintoncarver1926]

George Carlin on Saving the Planet. I see that you have reacted to some music on your channel. I would love to see you react to Steely Dan. Two extremely talented musicians and song writers. They used the cream of the crop of STUDIO MUSICIANS to realize their vision of each song. Every note is meticulously crafted and placed for the overall effect. I would recommend "BLACK COW" and "KID CHARLEMAGNE ". ENJOY.

[@darrelldixon8056]

The "Ice Capades" was a popular annual ice skating entertainment show geared for kids. each year would be a different "Theme" with costumes, props, and sets from current kids shows and movies. it would run a series of shows around Christmas in large venues. I think it traveled and setup at multiple cities each year. I could only imagine what George Carlin would have to say about these crazy events..... I had the displeasure of working concessions for these shows during the 80's while in High School. Screaming kids shouting for parents to buy them candy, drinks, popcorn, nachos, hot dogs... All in a hurry to make it back to their seats before the show started, or intermissions would end (except while ordering with huge lines of others waiting growing impatient)

[@sherrysink3177]

Definitely look for George's 7 Dirty Words (you can't say on tv) skit. It's hilarious. But I think my favorite line will always be the one about the invisible man in the sky, and how -- if you don't do as he says -- he's got a special place for you full of fire and torment and torture where you scream and cry forever and ever.. "But He 'loves' you!" The brilliant contradiction in that statement is both thought-provokingly profound and hysterically funny. George was so good at making you think, and laugh hard.

George Carlin also has a bit about the ten commandments from this same special that is hilarious

[@mistabook]

It's pretty rare for a reference in one of Carlin's routines to date very much, he aimed for timeless and achieved it more often than not, so when it happens it really jumps out at you. The Ice Capades reference is one of the biggest ones i can think of. Weirdly, it was kind of a dated reference even when he made it. The Ice Capades was a showcase of ice skating routines set to music, popular in the 70s and 80s. Even in the 80s it was an easy target for how cheesy and lame it was, and by the 90s it was irrelevant. I don't even know if it was still happening by then. Even when this special originally aired I thought it was strange that he ended that run with such a weak punchline.

[@428chase]

"People say, 'I'm going to sleep now,' as if it were nothing. But it's really a bizarre activity. 'For the next several hours, while the sun is gone, I'm going to become unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything I know and understand. When the sun returns, I will resume my life.' If you didn't know what sleep was, and you had only seen it in a science fiction movie, you would think it was weird and tell all your friends about the movie you'd seen. They had these people, you know? And they would walk around all day and be OK? And then, once a day, usually after dark, they would lie down on these special platforms and become unconscious. They would stop functioning almost completely, except deep in their minds they would have adventures and experiences that were completely impossible in real life. As they lay there, completely vulnerable to their enemies, their only movements were to occasionally shift from one position to another; or, if one of the 'mind adventures' got too real, they would sit up and scream and be glad they weren't unconscious anymore. Then they would drink a lot of coffee.' So, next time you see someone sleeping, make believe you're in a science fiction movie. And whisper, 'The creature is regenerating itself.” "George Carlin"
