So THIS is the comment people all over CZcams are God fucking plagiarizing, how pathetic that they have to copy someone else's words to get likes on a social platform.
Remember, its a short trip we call life. In America be bold, be brave, use every tool and every idea you have. And dont take it too serious. You will never leave this place alive anyway!
Keep watching and watching...if not enough, i recommend you the big bang theory....it took me off a bad depresion...humor is my medicine..in my sixth run of the full series of the big bang theory
I have,too...I've got Bipolar 2 Disorder, PTSD, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I tried to kill myself by od in 2001. I'm now about 5 classes away from my b.a. in Psychology,then it's on to Grad school for my Master's in Clinical Mental Health.
I watched him since the days my Dad would come downstairs and yell at me for sneaking out of bed and putting the TV on. Then he would see what I was watching and sit down. That is the power of Carlin.
Mine introduced him to us early along with Richard Pryor, Mel Brooks, Monty Python, Marx Bros and Father Guido Sarducci. My childhood was a blast! 💯🤣🤣🤣
@@samaramorgan3829 No one I've ever known from the South or the Midwest likes "blue-collar" comedy. Doesn't it seem like the people who like it are upper class urban white people who have jobs that they think make them superior despite the fact they do not benefit society in any way? This is not a repudiation of your dad, I don't know, maybe he was an exception, but it seems like the majority of people who like that kind of comedy are listening to reaffirm their superiority to these people.
Well, gee, anyone with at least average intelligence saw it. I was looking for a house I could afford, but when I saw all those financing offers, it was quite obvious they could not work in the long run, so I stayed in an apartment. Then when the bubble burst, I was quite annoyed the government was bailing out all the morons who should have known better, while I was still in an apartment simply because I could see through the nonsense.
@@RustyTube And they did it by borrowing money from the Federal Reserve, a privately owned bank, owned by the very same bankers who caused the problem.
That is great to hear man. I was wondering how this comedy would fall on the ears of those who were contemplating. Fuck the world and the expectations they impose upon you. Just know thy deepest self, and relish in that truth brother. It’s not your fault.
OK, to help people out, here's some quick arithmetic, based on what George claims: 1 person commits suicide every 30 seconds. That's 2 per minute 2 x 60 = 120 suicides per hour 120 x 24 = 2880 suicides per day 2880 x 365 = 1,051,200 suicides per year As for the length of this video, using the same arithmetic: 16 minutes long = 32 suicides 30 seconds extra = 1 extra So during this video, 33 people committed suicide, with one person PREPARING. He's probably still writing the note...
Carlin passed out more practical info than most shrinks in his career, at a fraction of the cost. He always give you a reality check. Never afraid to tell it as it is... a realist at heart.
@@saberiandream316 hey better than paying $200 to have some dickhead in business casual tell me my feelings are valid for 50 minutes while they push me to recall painful childhood memories, and then cut me short when "our time is up". Carlin on CZcams is free, and he also doesnt care when you yell at him :)
Suicide & depression is well funny. I was going to hang myself once but the rope broke, and so did the beam I knocked my self out ! When I came too, I had a really bad head ache, never attempted it again, because it hurt.
Frank Hughes Hmmm... if you run out of options for suicide, as ironic as it might be you might have to carry on, turn your life around and make the best out of it, huh? ;)
I'm so sorry I did not realise you are superman. It's slightly ironic that you tag your name as name as SEXTING ME lol So stop flirty with me sweet heart ;)
The bubble popping also folded many banks. Most the banks that bought the debts were international....meaning the physical properties and housing from the foreclosures, and people who walked away from properties, were/are all available to international buyers.
Shit if the kids a winner and got big good grades the parents are right there taking fucking credit, but if the kids a fucking loser they have nothing to do with these bad outcomes! 🙄😂🤣
Yup....he says it like it is. And it is dying with honor. My dad this 16th will be 10 years. And at first I was so angry. After awhile, I thought to myself that he was brave as hell. You have to have courage. I have also tried a few times. I think it's more selfish for people to chastise those who say it was selfish. I think it's selfish to keep a person around, even though they have been suffering for 30 years. Pills, therapy, hospitalized, nothing works for a person with bipolar as my dad had. Miss my dad and George...
I agree with you man. You are the only person. I believe suicidal people have the right to make the biggest decision in life and people are so insensitive and judgemental to claim that it is coward's way out and it hurts so many people. But they are not willing or able to go to the trouble to help that person get his life together so he will have a reason to stay around to the end.
The SCP Foundation, how in God’s name do you not know about the housing market crash of 2008? Like, even if you aren’t an American you should know about that one.
Man, a part of me wants to laugh out loud cuz it's George Carlin and his comedic talent was so honest & raw.. but another part of me can't help but to feel slightly sad for the suffering & mental anguish so many (including myself) have been feeling as of late ☹️
I wonder how many people heard this bit in their life time, and when they decided to do it they remembered george and chuckled a little... there should be at least 3
For every 1000 sane people, you need one insane guy to tell the other 1000 people what sanity actually really means. George was one such guy. Listening to him talk makes me feel more sane and peaceful than any lies and deceit out there. George tells it like it is. And I appreciate that.
When I was a kid, I was doing a book report on alcoholism, and attended an AA meeting... And, one man's "story" always stayed with me... He spoke of how his life had spiraled downward... the abuse of alcohol and pills escalated... and how he took his family (unwillingly) along for the ride (essentially acclimating them to "living in hell")... until one day, he decided that he would "just end it". As he was stumbling towards the door, he passed by his children, who asked him where he was going... "I'm going to kill myself.", he replied. Then his children asked, "How are you going to do it?" He answered, "I'm going to throw myself in front of a train. One of his children looked at the clock and said, "Well... you better hurry if you want to make the 5:15."
I can't believe this video was reported...as offensive then don't click on the video. It's funny how the audience is hesitant on if they should laugh or not. Suicide is a sensitive taboo I will admit coming from someone who've tried it....but it's the wisdom I took from the experience of surviving....of WHY. I felt alone. I wanted to punish the ppl around me not realizing they'll cry to today and continue to forget and live tomorrow. So one must live for oneself & one's peace of mind. I love George Carlin. He hits it on the head everytime
Another way of achieving the same effect is to disappear. You get to live your life and the people who you want to punish live the same way they would if you had died.
Research "the great depression" which began in 1929. Really "dig into" it... You will discover that the whole thing was actually "engineered" by "the banksters", and was the largest transference of wealth (from the poor to the rich) in modern history. It was "theft", plain and simple... only, it wasn't "money" that was stolen from the average person... but rather, the VALUE of their money. Then... look at every "recession" since then... and you will see that the same methods were used (just not to the same extreme). Notice that every "recession", makes the (extremely) wealthy, even wealthier... while devastating average folks. It is a pattern... a system, that has been used by those in control of humanity's monetary systems since... well... for a VERY long time. They create the bubble... accumulating wealth as it artificially "inflates". Then, when (seemingly) everyone has all of their "money" invested INTO the bubble... THEY "reverse their position" (selling off all of their "paper" assets), and "burst" the bubble... scooping up the VALUE of everyone else's "investments" by simply buying up all of the "hard assets" (real estate, gold, etc.) for "pennies on the dollar". This has been going on for a VERY long time... and they continually "get away with it", simply because, frankly, average people are just not "long term thinkers". But, with a "longer view"... these things are actually not very difficult to "predict". Generally speaking... wherever you see the biggest "boom"... you are also seeing the "source" of the next "big crash". This IS of course, an extremely simplified explanation (just the "broad strokes", if you will)... but, no "psychic abilities" are necessary to see where things will go. The only part that is difficult to predict... is WHEN "they" will pull the plug.
Anyone who ever feels suicidal at any point in their life, which in this day and age is everyone on the fuckin planet, *NEEDS* to hear comedy from the likes of George Carlin. Never hearing a good joke about suicide is as good a reason to off yourself as any. This is entertainment that addresses the issue head on in a manner where people will actually want to talk about it.
Thank you George, nobody takes mental health seriously. R.I.P. Robin Williams, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Isabella Blow,Alexander McQueen, Kurt Cobain, Charlotte Dawson, Charmaine Dragun, Ben Storm Keough.....
George Carlin was the most halirious comedian ever i miss him very much i always think about what kind of new jokes he would of came up with had he still been alive today may he rest in peace
i've been listening to this for a year now, i don't think he's done with the prediction that he did until today, there's gonna be a lot of shit that has been called for by this man. ly george ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Then we have these people who have been watching television and saw a commercial that told them they were clinically depressed, and now they are taking pills towards that shit"....Did anybody else see the amount of accuracy in this statement? Am just stunned
Is this actually in 2002? Seems like he references the 2008 recession pretty directly. Anyway, I wonder if Carlin ever had any issues with mental health because he really hit the nail on the head with a lot of these points
@@dethmaul... Exactly true... They "milk" every generation, because... The "new" generation doesn't have the "memory" of the last time... Thus... they "never see it coming".
As a person who has struggled with suicidality, I don’t think this one is that funny. But if you do, enjoy yourselves. Honestly, it’s important to laugh off the shitty parts of life to keep going.
I think its quiet funny since i have suicidal ideation, its relatable so thats what makes it funny to me, i hope you live a happy life( i wish you the best)
There's probably a correlation between how males are disinterested in school and how they're notorious for suicide. I checked National Honors Society in my yearbooks; it's decreasingly male.
My father always said why have a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Shit in life ain't so bad people get a grip Even if you like a certain food that's a reason to live for christ sake.
Exactly. Just like Bill Hicks, more relevant now than while they lived - more relevant than ever. i refer to them more as philosophers, activists,or prophets than comedians.
I find it strange how people blame violent acts on things like music and video games when people have been doing arguably worse stuff long before these things even existed
Doom was also to blame, because the shooters played it or some shit. I honestly don’t know why that game would be to blame when you literally kill demons in the game and not high school students.
My mother's former companion hanged himself 5 years ago, I'm pretty sure most of these thoughts went through his head that day (except he didn't plan everything ahead -- he called an armory in the morning, still hesitating about the method obviously, and left no note). He definitely bought the cheapest rope and made sure it was clean -- comitting suicide is enough of a health hazard, you don't wanna catch germs doing it.
+Topher1286 if only there were any present :D I don't know man, he might've been an alright guy but hey - if he had a good reason there's no need for compassion. Dude got what he wanted, good for him, time to move on.
George Mirchev Well, first I didn't write that anecdote to elicit compassion (even though you'd need some to get my point, or to get George Carlin's routine for that matter). Second, it was quite sarcastic on my part to say that he was indeed the kind of guy who could commit suicide yet be scared to death of catching germs or eating unhealthy food - hence why I found G.C.'s impersonation spot-on. And third, he was begining a new anti-depressant treatment at the time, and it was clearly stated on the guidelines paper (don't know the exact term in english) that there was an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviours during the first weeks, and the psychiatrist who prescribed it said nothing about it to anyone, so in my opinion that's what triggered such a rushed and compulsive suicide (which was utterly “out of character”, so to speak : the guy used to ponder for weeks before taking the slightest decision on the most trivial matters), and if it had been up to me, I would have sued the psychiatrist's ass (even though that would probably have been a losing battle, these people never pay for the consequences of their failures).
People keep commenting about how "he called it"... as if it was something new. And THAT is the problem. This THEFT is perpetrated upon EVERY generation... and it is done easily, because each "new" generation has no recollection of the last time.
I'm really sorry to hear that, I hope you're doing okay. I'm glad George was able to make you laugh about the subject, I've lost people to suicide too and I found this bit hysterical
Worlds Greatest Dad is a film about a dad who turns his sons suicide note into a best selling book, staring Robin Williams. it was one of his last movies before he died, and disturbingly predicts his death by asphyxiation
Robin Williams died in 2016, the movie came 7 years earlier, and he acted in more than 10 other movies in between. Its not even that big of a coincidence.
+Soccercrazyigboman doug stanhope does similar irreverent, over the line material but hes not that funny. carlin, ck, and burr are the 3 best. but check out jim jeffries he does the same type of stuff, total atheist dickhead hes hilarious
Those people on the Jerry Springer show, they're the average Americans...below-average don't get on the show...below-average are sitting at home watching that shit on TV! XDD
Hey.. Those average goofballs need an audience to watch their clown show otherwise they would have no production staff and no show. I don't watch daytime tv anyway. Its just a bunch of buffoonery actors trying to tell you what to think and believe.
I would be lying if I said I didn't think about committing suicide for years. But I want to animate and make games so I'm too busy. Waaaaaaaay at the bottom of the list. Also my mom would have a heart attack and would probably take another life with me if I killed myself so it's common courtesy. I need to have nothing to do and private time which will never happen. Hahah... Anyway, George Carlin reminds me of Luis Raul but in English instead of Spanish. They both don't give a fuck.
Fall Yeah, when it gets down to it, everything we do is derived from some form of selfishness. Unless of course it's spur of the moment, like diving on a hand grenade, or pushing a kid out of the way of a bus.
Been on youtube for 9 years, came from an HBO show from one of the most famous comedians in American history. So why after 9 years here and over a decade since it was broadcast on national television is there suddenly a warning label I gotta click on before I can watch it?
You know I have been watching Carlin since the late 60s early 70s somewhere there in about when he actually had hair and wore a suit. I guess my first sight of him was on Johnny Carson. Hey I like George Carlin's humor and actually used to have albums, LP's you know Long play records to listen to his comedy. But his time has passed and I watch these videos and read some of the comments and everyone Praises him as a prophet. He simply knew shit that no one else knew and he talked about it and everyone is starry-eyed. But alas, as the decades Roll by we all new the same shit but we just didn't get on television and talk about it. It just seems amazing how many young people watch this today and think that wow! This guy knows what we're thinking! I like Carlin's comedy although I do think this clip is not his best because there are people with problems out there today and they actually need help not someone to I guess you could say push him off the ledge. And I also believe he shouldn't talk about the kids who actually are distraught and they decided they want to kill themselves at an early age. Like I say I really enjoy listening to Carlin but I think he stepped Over The Line talkin about childhood suicide. There are children who are watching this. I actually feel bad over this short clip and wish he had not done it. Oh well screw it what's for supper?
I happen to see this routine live and there were people that rushed the stage 😭 you can't go to a George Carlin performance and expect to not get slammed for heavens sake he hates everybody
@@jonwomack1682... Ever notice how everyone will be rolling with laughter at all manner of material, no matter how "insensitive"... until he "touches a nerve" for THEM PERSONALLY... and then, they say that HE "went too far." I find that particularly hilarious.
George Carlin was not a comedian. He was a philosopher who just happened to be funny.

Hey buddy, just came to say I hope you're okay;
OK, to help people out, here's some quick arithmetic, based on what George claims:
1 person commits suicide every 30 seconds. That's 2 per minute
2 x 60 = 120 suicides per hour
120 x 24 = 2880 suicides per day
2880 x 365 = 1,051,200 suicides per year
As for the length of this video, using the same arithmetic:
16 minutes long = 32 suicides
30 seconds extra = 1 extra
So during this video, 33 people committed suicide, with one person PREPARING. He's probably still writing the note...

Then, when (seemingly) everyone has all of their "money" invested INTO the bubble...
THEY "reverse their position" (selling off all of their "paper" assets), and "burst" the bubble... scooping up the VALUE of everyone else's "investments" by simply buying up all of the "hard assets" (real estate, gold, etc.) for "pennies on the dollar".
This has been going on for a VERY long time... and they continually "get away with it", simply because, frankly, average people are just not "long term thinkers".
But, with a "longer view"... these things are actually not very difficult to "predict".
Generally speaking... wherever you see the biggest "boom"... you are also seeing the "source" of the next "big crash".
This IS of course, an extremely simplified explanation (just the "broad strokes", if you will)... but, no "psychic abilities" are necessary to see where things will go.
The only part that is difficult to predict... is WHEN "they" will pull the plug.
16:13 the only time I've ever heard Carlin almost lose his shit laughing when in the middle of his bit
Free to live means free to die with honour.
Honor is a relic. Integrity is way better a construct.
Suicide is not honorable well wait Harry Kerry in Japan I suppose
@@samaramorgan3829 ...
I don't personally consider suicide to be a "good" choice...
But it certainly should be seen as a "personal" choice.
People are goofy
It's kinda cool how comedians find a way to talk about subjects interesting ways.
@10:18 Woah, Geroge Carlin perdicted the future on that line!!!!
Well it was quite obvious. I mean if you shit where you drink, eventually you're going to get sick from all the filth.
@@royalstarfish17 it's quite obvious to the conscious but to the unconscious it's not
Have lost someone to suicide; this man still makes me laugh
Anyone who ever feels suicidal at any point in their life, which in this day and age is everyone on the fuckin planet, *NEEDS* to hear comedy from the likes of George Carlin. Never hearing a good joke about suicide is as good a reason to off yourself as any.
This is entertainment that addresses the issue head on in a manner where people will actually want to talk about it.
Anybody got the warning from youtube?
CZcams slapped a trigger warning on this. At least they didn’t remove it I guess. Still, Carlin would be rolling in his grave.
George has rolled so many times already he's probably drilled halfway to the Earth's molten fucking core. lol
CZcams is softer by the day. Why do I need to agree before watching this? How soft you need to be to be protected yourself from this content?
Probably one of the most sane commentators in the past 40 years
Thank you George, nobody takes mental health seriously. R.I.P. Robin Williams, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Isabella Blow,Alexander McQueen, Kurt Cobain, Charlotte Dawson, Charmaine Dragun, Ben Storm Keough.....
Big Pharma takes you, seriously.
Big Pharma only takes our money seriously, not our health

George Carlin was a fucking genius . he's hilarious real and fucking brilliant absolutely brilliant
George Carlin, Fortune Teller.
It took me awhile to realize this is only audio. I could swear I see his mouth moving....
At least 34 when you add on the time it takes to read this argument
hows life man
George Carlin was the most halirious comedian ever i miss him very much i always think about what kind of new jokes he would of came up with had he still been alive today may he rest in peace
i've been listening to this for a year now, i don't think he's done with the prediction that he did until today, there's gonna be a lot of shit that has been called for by this man. ly george ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And if its a church burning, they blame black metal.
If its a tower falling, they blame melted metal
If it's a breakdown, they blame deathcore.
@@sovereignone1900 If people die, they blame *Death* metal
If the rope didn't hold they blame slipknot.
@@proculusjulius7035 Nice one
"Then we have these people who have been watching television and saw a commercial that told them they were clinically depressed, and now they are taking pills towards that shit"....Did anybody else see the amount of accuracy in this statement? Am just stunned
That channel would be to die for!
"hey guys, guess what!" took me out lmao
Best stuff I've seen in my entire life
Is this actually in 2002? Seems like he references the 2008 recession pretty directly. Anyway, I wonder if Carlin ever had any issues with mental health because he really hit the nail on the head with a lot of these points
Yes, 2002 and he called it.
RIGHT after that, he says that they do it every 30 or 40 years...so no clairvoyance or special insight involved lol
@@dethmaul...
Exactly true...
They "milk" every generation, because...
The "new" generation doesn't have the "memory" of the last time...
Thus... they "never see it coming".
It's called being around fucking idiots...that will give you mental issues.
16:11 I love how he snickers at his own comedy for a second there...
As a person who has struggled with suicidality, I don’t think this one is that funny. But if you do, enjoy yourselves. Honestly, it’s important to laugh off the shitty parts of life to keep going.
I think its quiet funny since i have suicidal ideation, its relatable so thats what makes it funny to me, i hope you live a happy life( i wish you the best)
@@plumberdash9729 you too man. Things have gotten better. It's important to remember that things improve if you do the right things.
There's probably a correlation between how males are disinterested in school and how they're notorious for suicide. I checked National Honors Society in my yearbooks; it's decreasingly male.
He seems to have a masterfull knowledge of the practical issues of suicide. Haha, I have had lots of these thoughts XD
We lost him way too soon!
Ahhh he’ll turn up one of these days
I'm a writer and the bit around 7:00 is practically biographical. XD
My father always said why have a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Shit in life ain't so bad people get a grip
Even if you like a certain food that's a reason to live for christ sake.
So true.
Exactly. Just like Bill Hicks, more relevant now than while they lived - more relevant than ever. i refer to them more as philosophers, activists,or prophets than comedians.
Strangely enough, listening to this might stop some from committing suicide……make them think twice.
Shit, he predicted the 2008 recession! 10:20
This is one of my favorite Carlin bits....MISS YOU GEORGE....😍💜💛💚💙💚💛💛💚💛💚💙💙💚💛💛💜💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💛💛💛💛💚💚💚💛💛💛💛💛💛💜💜💜💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💚💚💚💚💚
Guy has right. Marilyn manson, metal star, was blamed for columbine school shooting. I wonder why he wasn't blamed for 9/11
I remember the media blaming the Matrix movie and its violence for that shooting.
@@Moorgoth67 haha yeah marylin manson or matrix are to blame.. No gun culture lol
Pioneer Nut
'cos 9/11 was Judas Priest.
I find it strange how people blame violent acts on things like music and video games when people have been doing arguably worse stuff long before these things even existed
Doom was also to blame, because the shooters played it or some shit. I honestly don’t know why that game would be to blame when you literally kill demons in the game and not high school students.
My mother's former companion hanged himself 5 years ago, I'm pretty sure most of these thoughts went through his head that day (except he didn't plan everything ahead -- he called an armory in the morning, still hesitating about the method obviously, and left no note). He definitely bought the cheapest rope and made sure it was clean -- comitting suicide is enough of a health hazard, you don't wanna catch germs doing it.
no one cares
+E.P. James MacAdams Compassionate people do.
+Topher1286 if only there were any present :D I don't know man, he might've been an alright guy but hey - if he had a good reason there's no need for compassion. Dude got what he wanted, good for him, time to move on.
George Mirchev
Well, first I didn't write that anecdote to elicit compassion (even though you'd need some to get my point, or to get George Carlin's routine for that matter). Second, it was quite sarcastic on my part to say that he was indeed the kind of guy who could commit suicide yet be scared to death of catching germs or eating unhealthy food - hence why I found G.C.'s impersonation spot-on. And third, he was begining a new anti-depressant treatment at the time, and it was clearly stated on the guidelines paper (don't know the exact term in english) that there was an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviours during the first weeks, and the psychiatrist who prescribed it said nothing about it to anyone, so in my opinion that's what triggered such a rushed and compulsive suicide (which was utterly “out of character”, so to speak : the guy used to ponder for weeks before taking the slightest decision on the most trivial matters), and if it had been up to me, I would have sued the psychiatrist's ass (even though that would probably have been a losing battle, these people never pay for the consequences of their failures).
idiosyncrazy1980
Tell me more
daaamn i know people have already said this but daaamn he called the economic crash
People keep commenting about how "he called it"... as if it was something new.
And THAT is the problem.
This THEFT is perpetrated upon EVERY generation... and it is done easily, because each "new" generation has no recollection of the last time.
It's sad that he died HIMSELF; too bad he didn't live for 200-300 years. He was a GENIUS!!!
LOL. Both of my brothers took their lives and I find this Hilarious.
I'm really sorry to hear that, I hope you're doing okay. I'm glad George was able to make you laugh about the subject, I've lost people to suicide too and I found this bit hysterical
Worlds Greatest Dad is a film about a dad who turns his sons suicide note into a best selling book, staring Robin Williams. it was one of his last movies before he died, and disturbingly predicts his death by asphyxiation
Robin Williams died in 2016, the movie came 7 years earlier, and he acted in more than 10 other movies in between. Its not even that big of a coincidence.
Looking for more Comedians like this guy. Only two I can think of are Louis CK and Bill Burr. Any others?
Soccercrazyigboman doug stanhope
+Soccercrazyigboman doug stanhope does similar irreverent, over the line material but hes not that funny. carlin, ck, and burr are the 3 best. but check out jim jeffries he does the same type of stuff, total atheist dickhead hes hilarious
+Soccercrazyigboman bill hicks
+Soccercrazyigboman
Jim Jefferies.
+Soccercrazyigboman Stewart Lee, no question.
Grammar is the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.
Hilarious comment, I'm loosing my mind. Its great when idiots type theyre sentences wrong trying to chime in about something
Oh holy shit he predicted the housing crisis.
my favorite comedian ever !!,! never get tired of laughing!,!, miss him a lot !!!
First time I heard Carlin chuckle towards the end. What a treat.
Those people on the Jerry Springer show, they're the average Americans...below-average don't get on the show...below-average are sitting at home watching that shit on TV! XDD
Hey.. Those average goofballs need an audience to watch their clown show otherwise they would have no production staff and no show. I don't watch daytime tv anyway. Its just a bunch of buffoonery actors trying to tell you what to think and believe.
George Carlin is always right..... he was right about the recession.
It took so many ppl to realise the housing bubble problem when it was first brought up. This guy just knew bro wtf
From suffering from depression and suicidal ideations I swore Mr. Carlin is the cure to ALL of that shit, fuck lexipro and Cymbalta
I would be lying if I said I didn't think about committing suicide for years. But I want to animate and make games so I'm too busy. Waaaaaaaay at the bottom of the list.
Also my mom would have a heart attack and would probably take another life with me if I killed myself so it's common courtesy. I need to have nothing to do and private time which will never happen. Hahah...
Anyway, George Carlin reminds me of Luis Raul but in English instead of Spanish. They both don't give a fuck.
Why would you care? You're dead!
Alexander Chippel
Wait, like now or before? :B
LMaruchan Why would you care about what would happen if you died? it's not like you could get in trouble, you're dead.
+Alexander Chippel Ego and faux-altruism.
Fall Yeah, when it gets down to it, everything we do is derived from some form of selfishness. Unless of course it's spur of the moment, like diving on a hand grenade, or pushing a kid out of the way of a bus.
This is great pointing out the intersting stuff in a taboo subject
Been on youtube for 9 years, came from an HBO show from one of the most famous comedians in American history. So why after 9 years here and over a decade since it was broadcast on national television is there suddenly a warning label I gotta click on before I can watch it?
Still listening in June of 2019 😂 love ❤️ him
What bout May 2020?
This stuff is priceless. Moral of story: Dont commit suicide
11:38 George would have a mine field of jokes with today's go-pro histeria!
“People are fucking goofy” almost spilled out my water
You know I have been watching Carlin since the late 60s early 70s somewhere there in about when he actually had hair and wore a suit. I guess my first sight of him was on Johnny Carson. Hey I like George Carlin's humor and actually used to have albums, LP's you know Long play records to listen to his comedy. But his time has passed and I watch these videos and read some of the comments and everyone Praises him as a prophet. He simply knew shit that no one else knew and he talked about it and everyone is starry-eyed. But alas, as the decades Roll by we all new the same shit but we just didn't get on television and talk about it. It just seems amazing how many young people watch this today and think that wow! This guy knows what we're thinking! I like Carlin's comedy although I do think this clip is not his best because there are people with problems out there today and they actually need help not someone to I guess you could say push him off the ledge. And I also believe he shouldn't talk about the kids who actually are distraught and they decided they want to kill themselves at an early age. Like I say I really enjoy listening to Carlin but I think he stepped Over The Line talkin about childhood suicide. There are children who are watching this. I actually feel bad over this short clip and wish he had not done it. Oh well screw it what's for supper?
Shut up lol
oh my god, this is messed up and funny at the same time.
I happen to see this routine live and there were people that rushed the stage 😭 you can't go to a George Carlin performance and expect to not get slammed for heavens sake he hates everybody
@@jonwomack1682...
Ever notice how everyone will be rolling with laughter at all manner of material, no matter how "insensitive"... until he "touches a nerve" for THEM PERSONALLY... and then, they say that HE "went too far."
I find that particularly hilarious.
God damn what a legend!!
this guy narrates Thomas the take engine show
Michael The Animator what I never made that connection!?
He was the greatest comedian that ever graced the stages of a comedy club ! R.I.P my friend ! Bet GODS getting a good laugh 😂😂
I was thinking of a new method that involved chrismas lights, a half jar of peanut butter, and a coffee table, OH and a foldable saw!
