We react to George Carlin talking about CULTURAL ISSUES 😂 (reaction + thoughts)!!

[@tjohn4398]

George died 16 years ago, but his words ring true today. He was quite the philosopher and a funny man and I miss him a lot

[@kaecake9575]

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”

[@joshuareed2188]

Like Adolf Hitler said "great mass of the people will more easily fall for a big lie rather than a small one"

[@JBHogan]

George is as relevant today as he ever was - maybe even more. Amazing legacy.

[@peterooster9192]

absolutely

[@johnDingoFoxVelocity]

George literally spoke his mind and didnt sugar coat it loved him

[@georgeseanor]

He is my hero, he would explode if he was here now

[@jaredhansen5364]

Now that I think about it, George Carlin telling people (people that agreed with him) not to vote was the only thing I ever disagreed with him with. I miss him.

[@joelbarish]

@@jaredhansen5364 Everyone should stop voting to let them know we've had enough.

[@johan.ohgren]

@@joelbarish That will only lead to a Russian situation. Best is to vote for something different.

[@Nilruin]

@@joelbarish As if that would actually fix the fuckin' system lmao. Boycotting your right to vote is not the same as boycotting Chick-fil-A. It won't do anything except make the situation worse. Acting as if the system being corrupted is the reason why you shouldn't participate in it is a lazy rationalization and anyone with half a brain cell knows it. The problem is that you don't know it, because you're on the bottom half of the bell curve that is below average. Remember folks, think of the average person. Think of the most average, middle of the road, mediocre person you can think of. Then realize that half of the people on this planet are dumber than that. That should put things into perspective for you. The only way for evil to win is for good people to do nothing. Make sure you vote, because the people who want to screw you over have historically been motivated enough to exercise their right to vote.

[@lynby6231]

@@jaredhansen5364a lot of things he says are said for fun (he is a comedian after all) there’s plenty of cool white guys (these two have been watching videos of them), true there’s nothing cool about wearing a baseball cap backwards, but it doesn’t look cool on anyone (except perhaps to a child), I don’t get this obsession with putting ourselves down and bumming up others, the problem with that, is idiots like these actually believe it.

[@Lance-b4i]

So many people now NEED to listen to him!!!! He is amazing and STILL relevant!!!!

[@fantasyrogue1996]

If George saw the way things were today... he'd have never ending comedy! I'd pay to watch those! 🤣

[@ConnorMiller417]

George was one of the most intelligent minds this world has ever seen. Almost every single thing he said was true and it’s still 100% accurate in today’s world. He was a master at calling out people on their BS and shedding light at just how messed up this country really is. He was absolutely brilliant!

[@timkeagy4094]

I grew up with George Carlin. He is my absolute hero. The things he said then is relevant now. You will never here bullshit from him. You here truth. By the way, I’m a boomer. So was George. Love him.

[@4Kandlez]

George wasn't a boomer he was born in 1937

[@matthewblanchard9301]

In my 70yrs. I saw Carlin a couple dozens times. Being there at a 'live' show with so many people and a Carlin word game and a audience response. Nothing Like It.... George Carlin, Comic Philosopher. Miss you George, we need your comedic insights to the chaos we now live in more than every. R.I.P.(Hey George did you meet GOD? How's SHE'S Doing???)🤣🙏

[@DjVanillaGuerilla]

George Carlin is what Ted Talks wanted to be. Informative and Entertaining.

[@Bai_Su_Zhen]

And they succeeded. Just, in a different goal.

[@rocko6439]

George Carlin is very observant of things that happens in our society and around the world and his comedy shows are very enlightening.

[@staceypeters1585]

Carlin has always been about live, love, laugh and learn but mostly learn His brilliance will surpass his legacy but the sad thing is that , besides a few new disciples, nothing will change! Loved his stuff since I was 14, love the reaction, keep up the good work 👏 😊

[@tecnicopmthc.eduardoruizt.5138]

Lovely reaction! Your energy and the conversations I wish to have based on the genius from George Carlin

[@samuraiwarriorsunite]

He's right, you can't complain about problems if you constantly vote for the same people who cause them. You see this dynamic in many cities and states across the country.

[@patrickholt2270]

It's amazing how the confidence trick of pretending the two parties are different and that one is better than the other still works. I think maybe its breaking down now, and that's why there's so much censorship and new laws making it incredibly difficult for anybody else to get on the ballot now, but it's really shameful that it has worked for so long.

[@Nilruin]

It's hard to complain about people voting for unqualified politicians when George Carlin's ancestors were the ones that rigged the system for the so called "educated and bright Americans" to never take office. There are a thousand and one reasons why politics in this country are a null-sum game. Carlin never understood it. He had so many anarchist policies without ever committing to actual anarchism. It's the only point I ever disagreed with him about, and it makes him come across as hypocritical.

[@sunseth1384]

My guy, it has nothing to do with US, this is universal, a part of the modern human condition. The public sucks, everywhere.

[@DimitriMoreira]

This is such an amazing reaction! Love you guys. Carol is mesmerized by it and Elie looks like he's so touched. So much feelings to unpack. Great, great reaction.

[@davef.6803]

Great reaction! His bits on 'Flying' and 'Food Advertising' are hilarious.

[@dberg666]

I love the older references. Camcorder, now everyone has a phone. When I go to an event, I take a few photos, then put it away and enjoy the experience.

[@kahlbutomacfarland]

Always warms my heart to see younger people find George. I grew up on him. I first remember him when I was about 10yo (late 80s). I’m genx (my apologies). The boomers he’s talking about here were the true og boomers (babies born post WWII, 50s basically). The term boomer has been changed to a mentality lately. Here’s the reality (speaking for America) and why George is so prophetic, because history repeats. The boomers had it better than their kids (genx), gen x had it better than their kids (Millenial-genz etc), and in the future more than likely millennial/genz sadly will have had it better than their kids. This is speaking economically, not socially. Socially we have trended the other direction (in spite of bigots best efforts). At the time George recorded this, most gay people worldwide had to be in the closet and trans people were unheard of or mostly thought of as drag or “transvestites”. Literally the public en mass had no clue of them, good or bad. What happens to most people is that everyone feels as if they worked for what they got. This is why a boomer can’t understand how easy they had it. And that narcissism makes them look down on everyone who has less or says they have it tougher. As you get older, most get more narcissistic and bitter. This is “boomer brain”. I’ve seen it happen to many of my generation. As you guys get older, if you stay real and self-aware, you’ll probably see it in others of your generation. Sorry I went long. Keep the GC coming!

[@mikeakey3358]

Love your channel guys. You really seem like the kind of people that fit seamlessly into a friend group and feel like we've been friends forever.

[@Lorijenken]

can you imagine if he was around today he would destroy us 😁 absolute legend.

[@ErikHeimdallr]

Carol, you are so lovely.

[@davescurry69]

I love watching you guys reacting to Carlin. Great stuff guys. More please.

[@rodney-m7g]

Carlin was a great philosopher/comedian I followed him for almost his entire career. We desperately need many more like him today

[@louielouie22]

One of my favorites. George on Germs

[@joescott8877]

Y'all's reaction, especially Carol's, was everything. The comedic genius and fully functioning human that was George Carlin is the Brown Wrist Band.

[@4Kandlez]

Great reaction guys, George was/is the best

[@bobdelp2023]

HEYYYYYY!!! 👍YOU GUYS HIT 100K, CONGRATULATIONS ELIE & CAROL 😊 WAY TO GO AND YES GEORGE ALWAYS WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT HE WAS THINKING! THE BEST BY FARRRRR HANDS DOWN AND HE IS TRULY SORELY MISSED!☹💯 TAKE CARE YOU GUYS!

[@Lohanginfroot]

Nobody does it or makes it resonate with you like George Carlin. I heard a quote in a clip about him "He makes sense of a world I don't understand" and I thought that was fitting. On side note, I'm never wearing cologne again if it can attract me a Carol 😄

[@ChurchNietzsche]

Yeah. He also "Saw the world as it was, not as we wanted it to be"

[@ticnatz]

Brutal.....absolutely brutal.....and true

[@hudsonhollow]

I loved George! If he doesn't offend you, just wait, he'll get around to you sooner or later. 😝As a White Boomer, I'm not offended at all. I'm enlightened by every Carlin video I have ever seen!!! He tells it like it is, like it or not.

[@CarlReff]

If you watch Malcolm X from the early sixties same as you said, not offended, tells it like it is.

[@SWTSU]

Welcome to my life. I was a couple years younger to George when he made this video and I have gotten to “Enjoy” the journey he’s discussing decades ago!!!!! Unbelievable!!!!! He hit the nail on the head!!!! And yeah we made rock and roll and took it with us!!!! Nobody followed!!!! But hey ACDC is currently touring in Germany right now!!!! So says Austin Tx!!😎🍸

[@ThoseBackPages]

George will live on forever. New folks are learning about him everyday. Look at this bit, its from before both of you were born! :)

[@CreativeMagique]

Izzard is the only one who held a candle to him, ever. “Dress to Kill” ❤ stood the Carlin test of timelessness

[@boydhall1587]

Gosh, never thought about voting quite like that.How refreshing and I am going to do the same.

[@MichaelSmith-gy7yd]

Love you two

[@rjmac2579]

Thanks for you’re channel Especially your point of view on George Carlin

[@MrTech226]

Answering your question: George would have a field day with both Trump & Biden especially Trump plus PC running amok!

[@bradmoyer9737]

As the “The Couple Crib”, you two are a perfect example of what Aristotle was describing in Metaphysics, “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts”.

[@obedrobles8241]

Please react to more, I love how you guys absorb his comedic genius

I will say this again George Carlin was a genius but he is also just displaying that history will always repeat itself

[@JamesGilburt-lb7sg]

Hi Elie & Carol, I hope you're both well? A great reaction to a great George Carlin bit :) he's the GOAT! But his 2 very best bits are Four Groups That Gotta Go & The Death Penalty (including capital punishment) Please react to those as soon as you can, they're so hilarious and GC is in the zone! Stand up comedy gold. Stay safe, I love your reactions and channel and I'm subscribed :) Lots of love from the UK.

[@randallshuck2976]

I always preferred his bit, "Saving the Planet".

[@JamesGilburt-lb7sg]

Fair enough, yeah that's one of his best ever bits. I like that one.

[@bobbyjennings6480]

I used to sneak out of my bedroom in high school to watch him on HBO. He's one of the reasons why voted for Ross Perot in 96. And i still don't vote for the Duopoly to this day. He was the greatest philosopher of my time. He was more than just a comedian. He made me think.

[@cwell510]

Just think, this stand up routine was filmed in 1996, how relevant his comedy is today in 2024. I can only imagine the amount of material George would have if he were alive today.

[@SammyRebbo]

literally new material daily.

[@saskk2290]

New material sure, but old lessons. The quality of the "freak show" has declined significantly.

[@sahbian]

5:15 - 5:50 ... FACTS! as a guy, i dont wear cologne nor can i stand perfume on any woman.

[@divindave6117]

My father told me that men who wear their caps backwards don't know if they are coming or going!

[@classiclife7204]

The man passed sometime in 07, 08 - I forget exactly. But it was JUST BEFORE smartphones and social media exploded. Poor George would've lost his mind completely if confronted with Instagram. I don't even want to imagine it, lol - weird to say the following, but, for his mental health, maybe he died just in time!

[@Xemptuous]

I'm the same with hating cologne and perfume; i'm very sensitive to pheromones, and when I can't smell someone's organic smell, I have less info on what's going in in them. Plus it hides natural sex pheromones, which means trickery and possibly not ideal sexual choices.

[@tjohn4398]

Also, check out his videos on religion and flying. You will love them too.

[@notquitedone51]

He died near the end of the George W. Bush administration, seeing that things were going to get even worse. He always had great timing.

[@shaunellis3060]

Can you please start to react to some Live Versions of Dave Matthew's Band , I think you'll really love them. They are beyond talented .

[@shoridayo6237]

When he's talking about people with camcorders, while I totally agree; I'm glad it happened because we use that type of footage now to showcase how free we used to be compared to how censored everything is now. Ironically, if they weren't so obsessed with it, it'd be even easier for our government to reduce the freedoms we have. I really like you guys. Both of you seem very likeable and reasonable. I hope the best for you.

[@WooBino.]

Seen him live @ TCNJ.

[@art2736]

Unlimited rights. George was being a little bombastic. What he was actually referring to is the saying, "Your rights end at the tip of my nose." basically a live and let live belief

[@rodneysisco6364]

Carlin was great . He was a comedian --philosopher . We DESPERATELY need more like him now , instead of all of the woke , politically correct unfunny assholes who call themselves comedians now .

[@Free2b56]

This guy was the antithesis of everything I was being taught growing up but he made so much sense to me that I dare say he shaped my belief system more so than just about anybody. I enjoy your reactions as a fan of his because you are reacting EXACTLY the way he intended you to when he delivered his message and that's what it was....comedy yes but so much more a message. The one thing I still don't know if I agree with him on is voting. He isn't wrong I just ask myself which is better...knowing you don't have any say or the illusion that you do. I turned 56 this week and I STILL don't know the answer to that question. Maybe tomorrow.

[@MrGadfly772]

George has a great point...are you listening Dave Filoni?

[@jamesmusisca7547]

well ya vote and hope you do the right thing

[@genostellar]

If George were alive today, he would certainly not want to die. He'd have too much fun watching how bad things are getting.

[@jeffreysmith2069]

History repeat's, George -read history.

[@bowtiefidenine]

My wife is the same, she prefers my sent rather than cologne ❤

[@mamaflush9945]

Hey Elie & Carol, I thought I'd suggest a new artist to give a listen, if interested. (By the way, this artist's name is also the band's name. It was quite common to have band names be the same name as the frontman or lead singer of the band/group.) Anyway, I thought I'd introduce you both to some "grunge rock", if interested. "Pearl Jam - Black (Unplugged) - Subtitlulos" (by the channel: Leo Terreros) --Pearl Jam played a significate role in pioneering the grunge rock movement. Alongside bands like Nirvana and Sound Garden they helped to popularize the music. And as always, I enjoyed rocking with you both. Thanks for sharing. peace out~

[@blackhorn34]

When it comes to his voting bit, things were very different back then. A lot of the stuff that was shuffled around was a lot of the same things & didn’t really do much. In some way he predicted the politicians we have today & how divided we are. We have indeed become selfish ignorant citizens & in turn we got selfish ignorant leaders.

[@MrGlastar1]

[@ibeetellingya5683]

I love the guy and his funny truths, but I'd say this about him: "What's the deal with bald guys who keep a ponytail? It's like they're holding on to their youth by the last few strands of dignity they have left. They lost the hair up top but refuse to let go of that one rebellious strip in the back. It's like saying, 'Yeah, I'm old and bald, but look at this, I’ve still got some fight left in me!' It’s like wearing flip-flops with a tuxedo-just pick a lane, man!"

[@marketingTUNEUP]

70s COMICS SWEAR A LOT!!! LET IT SLIDE. The GREAT comics tend to be pre 2000 exception Jim Gaffigan and a few others noted. Just like great songs pre 2000. Steven Wright (Dead Pan Comedy 90s). Classics - Roger Dangerfield, Johnathon Winters, Phillis Diller, David Steinberg. Nods to Dave Chapelle, Norm Macdonald, Eddie Griffin. Lots of great comedy, but its hit and miss and otherwise mostly personalities or tV show personas. The classics were comedy geniuses. I may have missed a few, but these listed will get you into some great American comedy in addition to George Carlin.
