![George Carlin: Jammin' in New York [SUB ITA]](/img/n.gif)
He didn’t die guys, he “passed away”
hahahahah
OR EXPIRE
He would be proud of you haha 😂
He surrely wanted more ti die than ti pass away, but ok
Noah Parker he didn’t pass away, he “moved on to better place”
Imagine how pissed he would be if he found out when you search his name it says deceased instead of just dead
Lol
Kek
:(
Oh no the deceased didn't die: they "passed'.
Okay, George would blush at that one, good sir 😂
“Is that a grotesque enough evasion for you?”
Beautifully said.
My father was deaf. I was told that I should not say he was deaf. I should say he had "hearing loss." Then I was told not to say "hearing loss," but to say "hearing impaired." Just recently, I came across the official City of New York guide to language. According to that guide, I'm now supposed to say my father was - - - deaf.
Lol 🤣
I'm sorry for your dad's deafness, btw 🫂
You know, I can sometimes see "hearing impaired" vs "deaf", depending on the situation. Just depends on how much hearing loss you have. It's possible for someone to have a significant amount of hearing loss but not be deaf and still be able to hear to some extent. But yeah, "deaf" going to "hearing impaired" doesn't take nuance like that into account.
@@StormsparkPegasus True, though you could just say "partially deaf." Or for example "almost deaf" like my gramps. (If he's wearing his hearing aid and you talk loudly and clearly, he will understand half of what you're saying. :-)
@@taylankammer Yeah...my dad is another example. He has a great deal of high frequency hearing loss to the point where he is considered "hearing impaired" (from flying helicopters in Vietnam). But he can hear people talk fine for the most part.
The funniest thing is, your father can’t even hear the supposedly offensive language 😂
At least he’s immune to the verbal bullshit.
Remember when influencers were just called sell-outs?
Yes, there must be a new meme for it by now. More words, more interpretations for the same meaning. People are so dumb. It is exactly what Carlin said.
man.. ethical core of this joke is outstanding
one could go on and on
and I couldn't agree with you more
I would counter there are good influencers and bad influencers. Somethings are worth selling out for and somethings are not worth selling out for. Everyone has a price a line that they will cross or not.
Or, intentionally abusive own beneficial manipulative people. "FUCKING DUMB PEOPLE. FUCKING DUMB PEOPLE!" How Carlin would repeat 2 times while the crowd is cheering.
They used to be called unemployed.
Instead of "You're fired", they say "You have been promoted to customer".
Or "Where gonna cut you loose"
Even worse: “We no longer require your services.”
I tell my helpers "You can go home, I'm hiring a Mexican from Home Depots parking lot, I actually need to get some work done".
And I'm always happy when their done and apply bonuses accordingly.
Too bad half of America just don't wanna work. 😥
"Customer is king" so it's obviously a win
"We've decided to let you go."
What, you were holding onto me?
I am no longer a short person, I'm vertically challenged
Haha. I say this at work all the time. Gets em every time.
Lol or "little people" instead of midgets. I'm not saying you're that short but that's another example.
Let’s call Dwarves Compact Humans.
That's too insensitive these days, instead we use the term Vertical Growth Development Disorder
"No one notified me of this... it just happened" That couldn't be more accurate.
Strippers are now “exotic dancers”
lol! I bet they are more expensive now!
There's a difference between stripping and exotic dancing.
Exotic dancing is simply dancing that is very unusual locally, it's exotic. And stripping is stripping.

Dead Man many great musicians also send message through their song bruh.
No comedian has the same psychology in his show like Carlin. He's the only one who always has new material and covers any social issue. But he's down to earth and common sense in the most funny and sarcastic way!
You need to watch a few Australian comedians absolutely no political correctness
Donald Trump would have a contract on him for the humiliation & ostracism George would be causing him. It would be comparable to an infant drowning from being force-fed the contents of a supertanker...
It takes a fox to outfox a fox; no one puts down a New Yorker like another native New Yorker. And not just any New Yorker. George strikes me as guttural inner-city Bronx. Likewise it's gratifying just to see the cast of SNL cutting Trump down to size (More New Yorkers roasting one of their own) 😂😂😂
I can't help but realize the relief George W. Bush & Dick Cheney must've experienced when Robin Williams died... In the name of corruption, criminalized but legalized & normalized capitalism- - now the truest of American traditions- - the media has completely sold out to our lovely political system. Now that Ted Koppel, Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, Ed Bradley, Dan Rather, & numerous other unsung heroes are gone, investigative journalism, as the ultimate policeman of the government & the public's last line of defense, no longer exists. So now the entire political community & their true rich & powerful masters have exactly what they wanted all along: to do whatever they want whenever they want, no matter how felonious or murderous, & with no fear of punishment whatsoever. Not from the police, nor from the courts, nor from prison. Not even the certainty of public exposure!
Now that the Press have abandoned the job, now we don't even have one maverick comedian left to hasten a political attack & open people's eyes to the truth when it is needed the most... And that is the final blow for me. I love my country: the lands, the wilderness, mountain country, & esp our people. But I'm finally leaving, before things really break apart at the seams, 'cause I don't see anyone or anything that's going to protects us- - the common people- - from the heartless tyrannical rich & powerful 1% anymore. There's nothing left in the law to stop them; no one left in law enforcement to stop them; nor are there enough lawyers that will stop them
As far as I'm concerned, all that's left now is for civil war to take place. So now it's only a matter of time before the war that has been raging all along in the ghettos of East LA, of Chicago, & of New York city is going to engulf our entire nation. A war that's been raging btw impoverished blacks & racist police; a war that's been raging btw the rich & powerful & all of America's poor, regardless of color. The only safe place left for me is the Arctic Circle 😪😪
The truth is funny 🤣
A lot of Dave Chapell's comedy is very similar. They both observe(ed) dumb stuff in society and then can articulate the stupidity of it. Everybody sees the same dumb stuff and that is why the comedy is so funny because people can relate to it.
@@spartanx169x it is a good recipe for good comedy it's being used for a thousand years
That's what I really loved about George Carlin. He wasn't afraid to call it what it was. The United States needs more of this type of honesty.
All it takes is courage
This man ever tell jokes? All I hear is truth.
Actually that is the original intention of humour in comedy.
Hence comedy is "The art of using euphemisms in telling the truth or a lie but camouflaged in a form of a sweet joke."

I hereby once again thank you in anticipation and wish you good luck, happiness, warmth, good health and most of all infinite blessings and never forget to share them with someoneelse. ☝💖😆👌
Carlin is very hit or miss. He was polished but not. Mainly because he didn't test his material but spent months writing it.
As for comedy there are many types. parody, satire, truths that sound like lies and lies that sound like the truth. Dark humor, stereotype humor.
Mainly humor is bringing people along a story and flipping the ending in an unexpected journey. Or you can get comedy that is like andrew dice clay where it is expected and the journey is the joke.
One thing to look for is if you only hear clapping and little to no laughter from the croud. That is something you hear at a ted talk on roadways. You acknowledge the work was good and you enjoyed yourself but only a few people found the jokes funny.
@@johncooper3636 hell yes

This aged shocking well.
This has progressed through time in an surprisingly well manner that corresponds with the message it was intended to have during the time it was made.
@@zedlz This particular piece of media has managed to stand the test of time, and has therefore been incapable of becoming irrelevant up to this point. I find this to be such a surprise that my senses have seized for the moment under a phenomenon one would call "shock".
@@moonman2183 It appears that the comedic performance presented before us, that was documented quite some time ago mind you, has been unwavered by such jurrasic aeging up till this point, causing its ideas to align precisely with the central theme it was intened to retain, and has thus been rendered immune to becoming unimportant. I find this to be suprising, so much so that the senses of my body have been overwhelmed, causing myself to enter a state of being that most would consider to be called "shock".

1990 - comedy
2020 - reality
1990
It was reality back in 1990. 30yrs later this comedic reality is still going strong
it never was comedy
@@wandacircus1667 It´s really like in Orwells 1984...down to the change of language....scary shit.
It was reality back then and it's still reality. Bullshitting ourselfes now even got mandatory. And Carlin is damn right.
One of my regrets is that I was too young to watch this man when he was still alive. I was only 8 when he died. Everyone should watch Carlin’s material. The fact that he said these things 30-40 years ago and they are more true now that ever is a testament to his intellect. He was a smart man who paid attention to the reality of modern society. His message is simple but nobody else communicates their ideas like Carlin. Rest in peace legend.
The videos are like being there-- I was; these vids bring it back like today.
The guy was a frikin genius and so far ahead of his time. Very underrated
not underrated. hes goated
Carlin wasn't a comedian. He was a 'wisdom-enabled orator.'
That's a good one, but doesn't foretell any comedic aspect. Orators are assumed to be wise, as it is.
How about stand up philosopher?

Or laid off. If Carlin heard that, he'd think that's a euphemism for masturbating.

Wait never mind that was too direct.
We like to participate in the escape of reality for our own mental well being and that why we have developed a mode of communication that is digestable for the faint of heart.

@@aztn19 yes he was, I don't hear a lot of people of his time talking about this issues, he saw them coming before they've fully arrived
Way ahead of his time, don't think so! He was just saying all the bullshit that he was seeing and happening on his time! And on this time the cycle bullshit is repeating over and over on different manners, but still the same bullshit!
Some things actually took an opposite turn. A lot of strong words like "rape", "racism", "nazi" and so on, are used to describe so many things that aren't even remotely as bad as actions those words used to describe.
I think society is actually moving away from everything "soft" to making everything absolutely outrageous.
Carlin wasn’t a a comedian
He was just a funny philosopher...
Actually he was a philosophically skilled orator with comedic proficiency

Absolutely none of that is true. The same could be said about using the word shell shocked if IT HAD CONTINUED TO BE USED.

@Tony Wilson or Hillary or any of them 😂
Every white person should spend some time researching the subtle evolution of the word Nation's definition over the last 100 years. It wasn't that long ago that being American, English, French or German meant you were white by definition. Funny how as we're stripped of the language to define ourselves as groups we are also stripped of our land and property. That's probably just a coincidence though.
@Tony Wilson Sorry for the TLDR, but I don't have to work today, and I think you probably interpreted my dog whistle correctly the first time and then generously chose not to leap to that conclusion. I am an unapologetic ethno nationalist, which is a phrase that had to be invented because words like patriot and nationalist have been corrupted (in my opinion deliberately). It's not that we're passively losing our identity. It's that we are being actively stripped of it.
To be clear, I'm no fan of Trump, but during Trump's campaign Paul Ryan said Trump was a racist for claiming the Trump University lawsuit should not be presided over by a "Mexican" judge. Ryan said "to claim that someone can't do their job because of their race is pretty much the definition of racism". The media was quick to point out that the judge was born in Indiana. I used to be a liberal. One of the reasons I'm not anymore was watching liberals across the country pretend they didn't understand that Trump was very obviously saying the judge would be biased against him because of his campaign promises about cracking down on immigration and his claims that illegal immigrants from Mexico were rapists and criminals.
When Trump called the systematic violation of our national sovereignty across the southern border a national emergency, the Mexican attorney general of California went on PBS to spew a bunch of nonsense about how it's somehow illegal for the federal government to enforce it's border laws.
The importation of third world labor keeps wages down for working class Americans. Blacks are tricked into voting for it by being told immigration restriction from third world countries is racist. Whites are told opposing these policies is racist too, but since that doesn't always work, they're also told they're lazy, incompetent or entitled for not wanting to compete with desperate, starving denizens of the third world for jobs. Or they're forced to listen to some bullshit about free markets.
I can't help but notice that wall street and the rest of the donor class would have benefited from either Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush. Both were backed by the power structure of their respective parties, and both sought to court the growing Hispanic vote. I also can't help but notice that Bernie and Trump both wanted to put America's working class above immigrants and both were subjected to horrific attacks from within their own parties.

@ Eurasia_0240. Or as the late great comedic actor Carroll O'Connor as Archie Bunker on the classic TV sitcom "All in the Family" said about Richard M. Nixon, "He did not lie........he forgot to tell the truth"! Lol!
Subvictorious.
So he... Lost?
Avoiding people is now “Social Distancing”
I prefer calling it “physical distancing”. It’s more realistic.
@@n.ff.^this.
@@n.ff. Avoid people just sounds mean that's why... Social distancing... 😂😂😂
MissLil Nova and it’s one more syllable!
I thought it's called "introversion"?
Shellshock is a more appropriate name for the stress trauma from combat while PTSD is better suited for stress traumas that aren't from the military
He was way ahead of his time. RIP George Carlin
Don't worry he's not dead he's unalived
My mother is a nurse, they changed “do not resuscitate” to “allow natural death”
Spot on Mr. Carlin
Ironically those two phrases have the same amount of syllables.
That leaves "natural" up to interpretation
If I think God's striking him down for heresy, I can resuscitate all I want
No they didnt? I work in a hospital and the universal hospital records system, EPIC, still uses DNR/DNI
That one is not bad because saving a life in the hospital is complex, so you have to be specific.
Honestly that’s more specific
Carlin wasn't just a comedian he is a modern day philosopher, I love his honest commentary on society
+Aza Jabar I agree totally, and his commentary is valid today.
+Aza Jabar A Comic Genius also.? He had a High IQ also.
I still think Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder explains the illness medically well, but I do find myself saying "Shell Shock" half of the time for the punch it gives to the condition.
Google Lennie Bruce if you want to see one of Carlins’ influences. I think George eclipsed him but he came before in the vein of societal commentator..
Kinda
Legends never die in our hearts! RIP my man🥹❤️🙏😇
Dude is so smart. You have to be a genius if you can simplify so everyone can understand.
"we didn't invade u, We freed you from your own people"
@Abdullah Badr
Okay sorry to generalize, but given your name I'm left with the impression you were told that when American soldiers paid your neighborhood a visit.
@@DemonicRemption they didn't, they will never be able to.
@@DemonicRemption nice from americans to come share with us their gun collection we know how they're fond of that .
Allies excuse in ww2
"Oh look! the Americans came to give us free bullets, ain't that nice?"
These videos are older than I am, but I can’t help but laugh my ass off. My teacher used this vid. to exemplify euphemisms, and I have been watching these clips ever since.
This bit has aged like fine wine.
The moment I heard "social distancing," I thought of Carlin.
Same!!
What should it be? “Stay the fuck away from each other?”
That’s a bit long.
George Wang but there’s more life in the phrase and it isn’t so fucking robotic and indirect
Yep.
Exactly!
I wasn't fired from my job, I was let go!
Yep. At least there's a slight difference between fired and laid off. Fired means it was your fault. Laid off means it wasn't.
@@danielsjohnson Actually, there’s no difference besides getting your money back if you are laid off. Fired, you don’t get a cent.
I'm not out of work....I'm between jobs!
@@taoist32 then that's still a difference.
There is also "being laid off".
George Carlin did not die, he retired from life.
He was isekai'd.
The best!! Got to see him 3 times!
Soft language: "Takes the life out of life " - George Carlin
Makes life seem like a game and you know how great video games are ya have lives.. well guess what reality has only one life and you better saver it
I’m not “short” I’m “vertically challenged.”
I'm not retarded, I'm mentally challenged.
No you're compact
because now, we can't say the "M" word anymore; "little person," yes, but not "dwarf" or "elf." (at 5' 1", I get neck strains to look up at people because I don't have any yellow page phone books handy; not fun: Tony Cox, Peter Dinklage, Spudd Web, Brad Williams, Mugsy Bogues, the late Bushwick Bill (Geto Boys), Verne "Mini Me" Troyer, the late Herve "Tattoo" Villechaize, the late Hank or Beetlejuice (both are from the old Howard Stern Show). )
😂
Im handicapped, some mf calls me differently abled and I’m about to pull out this video.
I´m about to have a baby in a few weeks and the hospital actually asked me whether I was the "birthing person".... my jaw dropped at so much stupid euphemisms. Why is "mother" such a bad word that it needs to be replaced?
wolfsmaid6815 That’s to be “iNcLuSiVe” to mentally ill women who believe they’re a man born in the wrong body, who then still somehow manage to get pregnant. So now it’s ”pregnant person” and ”chest feeding” and all other kinds of insanity.
But everyone in their right mind knows that only females can be pregnant, only females can menstruate, only females can be mothers.
Congrats on your baby 😊 🤍
Soooo creative and😂FUNNY...I'm having involuntary bursts of voice😆...LOVE IT❤️❤️!
Oh, George.. You had no idea how much worse it would get..
Maybe he did and that's why he left us.
@@christinepickering9896 orrrr... he got old? Wild one huh. Unthinkable.
No.. he expired like a magazine subscription. lol
He kicked the bucket, but he will live forever. Unless CZcams bans his vids..
Nah, of course he did.
CZcamsr was later changed to "Content Creator"
Don't forget "influencer!"
That'll be useful when we migrate to a superior platform
@@Scroteydada u need a brain lad
I hate the term "CZcamsr" anyway so that's that.
@@maximusmax4557 I can't forget, i'll never forget......
I love you George Carlin from my heart.
He was so good at this, and more relevant than ever RIP
They’re not loot boxes there “surprise mechanics.”
It just works
No Todd, it doesn’t
Lmao
gamers: why the hell is it called surprise mechanics?
ea: well surprise buttsex was already taken
EA Sports - It's in your ass.
What about, we don't kill our pets, we put them to sleep!
Interesting right....Couple of months ago one of my Colleagues at work told me he had put his dog to sleep last Saturday, I said wow cool, he must be bothering you a lot so you put him to sleep, must be a relief eh..I would do that too, he goes what are you talking about? I said what do you mean? he said he died, I said he died while he was asleep oh shyt no, he was like no buddy he wasn't feeling good and vomiting blood everywhere and suffering with a disease so we got him injected I was like then say it like that don't tell me you put him to sleep Lolzz
In the UK the usual term for pet Euthanasia is to have it "Put Down" - - Very strange if you think about it.
Or, they cross the rainbow bridge.
It leaves us to wonder, was he really talking to us or do you lack a sense of humor?
We them down
I won't pass "away", I'll simply "break on through to the other side" 🤘🤘
Thanks, and remind Jesus that he wasn't transgender.
I'm not "going bald." I'm experiencing a "receding hairline."
His material gets MORE relevant with time, what a legend.
Because he had the balls to say what people were afraid to talk about and not give a shit if someone got offended.
@@yoda908 But so ironic that he's an avid liberal and liberals are at the forefront of enforcing soft language (now called 'political correctness').
Absolutely! Wish there were more like him in the world.
Hari Seldon it's not really the same thing as what you're whinging about though, it's more of sugarcoating realities by using technical terms, which is used by pretty much everyone now, not just any specific side
