Thanks for the post. And thanks to George for the best stand-up I've ever heard in my life!

Didn't like this one.

Thanks to the sift for informing me of the man passing on... I'm sure he's up there now smiling down on us... if there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

I understand he made it to a hospital before the end. I hope they opened up "the good stuff" for him...

*Religion comedy.

Adding video to channels (Religion) - requested by Fjnbk.

This better go to the top.

you know, i think he's down there, frowning up at us. and he's pissed.

I'm really glad I was able to seem him, just a few months ago, on his last tour.

George Carlin always felt like an uncle to me. He's always been one of my favorite stand-up comedians, and did his best throughout his entire career to challenge the normal mindset of the masses. He's probably one of the only people out there that people of every generation alive today will mourn almost equally.

I've feared this day for years, ever since his health began to fail. But he always came back from his difficulties with new material, making light of the pain he endured.

He's one of the major influences that helped structure the belief system I have today, and single-handedly taught me to never fear death. That comedy is the strongest force, as it takes the fear of pretty much anything away.

Goodbye, George. Thank you for everything.

Also, I don't mean to be politically correct, but it's a bit contradicting to what George Carlin believed and stood for to say RIP. "The term 'Rest in Peace' is a prayer that the deceased may rest peacefully, not in torment, while awaiting Judgment Day." - Wikipedia. George being a staunch atheist, it just doesn't seem appropriate.

Not to sound pretentious or anything, I just cringe a little when I hear people say that, because George stood so firmly against that sort of belief.

Oh, and if he IS in heaven or hell, he's not looking down/up upon us. He's too busy creating as much of a ruckus there as he did here. It's his style!

Goodbye, Mr.Conductor, and may Joe Pesci bless your soul.

Another pagan awaits his judgment, I for one, won't miss him one bit...

^WTF?

"Another pagan awaits his judgment, I for one, won't miss him one bit..."

Wow, how very religious of you. Go read ur holy book again, it probably frowns on on comments like that.

Funniest man who ever lived? Nah. He's at least behind Robin Williams, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert.

^ And I bet if you asked each one of them they would completely disagree. As do I.

^ Actually, Jon Stewart hosted the Tribute they had for George Carlin a few years back. He was completely star-struck throughout the entire duration of the interview, and didn't have enough nice things to say about George and all that he's done for comedy and Jon Stewart himself.

Case in point, Comedy would NOT be what it is today if it weren't for George Carlin. He pioneered the dirty, edgy side of the comedy scene. While the scene was filled with comedians making family-friendly jokes, Carlin was talking about the legendary 'Seven Words'. Talk to most older adults, and they'll tell you how when they were kids, they had Carlin albums hidden away from their parents.

^"The Holy Trinity of Comedy was comprised of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and George Carlin." -Jon Stewart

Carlin himself once said that Lenny Bruce opened the doors and guys like Richard Pryor and him just walked through them.

yeah, lenny bruce took the punches

haha that smile he makes in this sketch just kills me.
