This was CRAZY Reacting to George Carlin - The Three Categories of Brainwashing

[@glenbejoe]

I wish George was still with us because he would have a lot to say about what's going on in our society today. What a great thinker, philosopher. Thanks Maddy.

[@olenilsen4660]

He wouldn´t care. At most, he´d be on repeat, telling you "I told you so". His jokes would still be valid, as demonstrated, and the show goes on. Really, he nailed all of the things that cripples our society today. It´s a pretty horrific realisation...

[@michaelsoper3610]

He already told you. It is no different than what has been going on for generations; more people have been forced to notice the liberties they've been sacrificing throughout their lives, without noticing. Government has always been, at best, a necessary evil; our founding documents scream that fact from the rafters, yet with centuries of notice, we still failed to keep government small enough to keep its evil contained. Those who ignore politics and government until September or October of an election year are failing in their duty to be informed, actively involved citizens, which allows the evil to fester.

[@BlackieNuff]

George would have had a field day with the insanity and stupidity of the past 10-15 years.

[@ojpete]

Imagine all the people who would have tried to cancel him about 5 - 10 years ago? He would have had a tour with Dave making fun of them

[@jamesanthony5257]

George died June 22, 2008 at 71 of a heart attack. He had a history of heart problems spanning 30 years which included heart attacks in 1978, 1982, and 1991, not pneumonia at 70.

[@derekhauffe7197]

He was funny but never dishonest. He actually cared about people, and he tried to use humor (rancor?) to tell people what he observed. I do hope you react to more of his material. He was a clever person with some good ideas.

George was without a doubt the thinking man's comedian. He was brilliant and used intellect in his comedy, not just raw filthy sexual connotation laced humor non stop. He was a philosopher comedian in my description of his humor. Never be another like him ever.

George Carlin was one of the smartest people the world’s ever seen. So much of what he said many years ago still hold up and hold even more relevance today. My favorite quote is “The American Dream is called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.” He was absolutely right.

[@Howie-du7ov]

He's right about shell shock. Unless you didn't notice, nobody calls it Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder anymore. It is simply PTSD. Which further dehumanized the phrase and condition.

[@nooneofimportance2110]

[@edwardpaulsen1074]

The worst part is that Shell shock described the complete nervous collapse with an equally appalling causation... know they call out PTSD because someone yelled at you...

George Carlin was a genius. I grew up listening to his albums. We Need him now more than ever. He was the voice of my generation.

[@haplozetetic9519]

I remember George calling out hypocrisy and double standards in the mid 1970's. He was a treasure.

[@lokisan100]

He was calling it out in the 1960's as well.

[@nickaejordan]

It's awesome seeing young folks learning about George Carlin. IMO, he's the GOAT. And he was a real standup comedian. We saw greats like Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, etc, all tried to go do big movies. George just kept telling his jokes.

[@user-dv6gt5iw4b]

He was a Comedian, a Writer, but most cherished of all, he was a brilliant philosopher.

[@lokisan100]

Absolutely. He had a keen awareness of the human condition and the world around him! Also the best at articulating it!

Third section about euphemisms / mild language is one of my favorites. Puking punchline is so spot on! It never gets old and never dies. Carlin will always be with us all in spirit. RIP

Maddy I loved your reaction. I've seen Carlin only four times and each time I felt I did 10,000 stomach crunches from non stop laughter

[@ItApproaches]

George was a comedian, Philosopher and people referred to him as a professor cause he educated people with his stuff.

[@lennyo5165]

Many terms that have changed have to do with a persons job. Waitresses became servers, stewardesses became flight attendants, secretaries became personal assistants, and so on. Heck one of my jobs over the years hired me as a "custodian" which is just another word for janitor.

[@gregswartz8924]

Just started watching you tonight. Bill Burr earlier. I’ve listened to George for 50-ish years. I think his true (best) weapon of choice was language. He is always funny and extremely articulate, but language was his super-power.

[@mikebunner3498]

GOAT of stand-up!!!! Best EVER!!!! Mr. Carlin spoke the truth. No candy-coating, just hard facts!!!

Luckily I was able to see George live 6 times at Club Benet in Sayerville New Jersey usually once a year. He was a true genius and a keen observer of common sense. Met him personally two of those times, as he would often come out and talk to the audience afterwards. RIP George.

[@davidhinkley]

I know his jokes and style very, very well. I grew up on it. But I laughed hard at the push back about things like washing hands. The fact that Maddy took it literally killed me. It made it funny all over again. He uses hyperbole to make fun of stupid extremes ---- it's not what he really does. LOL Never change!

[@tawnitegal5050]

that's what made carlin so iconic. he would talk about anything, and anything he said was no holds barred.

I was luckily enough to see him live before he died and honestly I miss him and his honest language that got to to the point on things that were going on. I miss him dearly, especially in these times we find ourselves in.

George would have loved the new word for homeless people. They are now unhoused.

[@dumaskhan]

The fact that you called it PTSD when he described it makes his point perfectly. I have watched a few of your videos, i like you reaction. Very nice! His euphemism bit has aged a bit because technology has changed some of the terminology, but when you hear business talk when people get fired, or a big major thing happens they need to do damage control, you hear "alternate" language being used to soften the blow. Also a lot of "ablelist avoidance" language falls under his point.

Just ran across this and thank you! George Carlin pissed people off, across the board, with a form of reasoning and logic that most of us never think about, and made us laugh and perhaps think a little deeper about things. His political content at times pissed me off as I was laughing, but he gave me points to think about and research. Thank you so much again for posting this. Your reactions match so well with mine!

George's father was born in rural Donegal, here in the NW of Ireland, and his mother was also from here. I'm convinced this informed his entire humour and world view - obvs his NYC upbringing as well, but in a deeper sense. That lack of tolerance he had for bullshit. Love it :)

[@LH-123-Me]

I was a teenager in the sixties and was impressed when Carlin came on the scene. IMO he was an observational elite. Just like me. Always loved his stuff. The "humor" that he used was, essentially a metaphoric, spear to puncture the bubble created by the DEEP programming of the North A society and sometimes, force people to pay attention to the, actual, way things are. Later in his years he got a bit frayed due to the fact there was not enough people listening and acting on his dissemination of his observations. I know how that is. When he passed was exactly around the time when "the controllers", as he called them, took the kid gloves of. We see that today with the continued stealing the minds of our children (they never got to mine). I must end this here . I love your assessments of the media and wish you well. Good to see 80K +. Good luck, and good job. 😃🥸👋✌👍👍.
