This is pretty much how Australia started.
-
"Drug addicts and alcoholics. Not all of them, don't get nervous." Oh, thank God. I mean, thank Pesci
-
If George Carlin was still with us today he’d have one of the most successful podcasts of all time.
-
Valid, no bullshit, blunt, remorseless and a genius who comes around once in a lifetime. And he always, absolutely always, spoke the truth. We miss you so much George. Rip...

The more i watch of this guy, the more im convinced he wasnt doing stand up
-
The most inspirational TED talk I've ever watched
-
"The ones who live out where the buses don't run." In the crowd: "That's me!"
-
George is sorely needed today!
-
I love the enthusiastic guy in the crowd responding to him. “That’s me!” “Fuck ‘em!”, “Delaware!”.
-
Brilliantly layered, he's basically mocking the government for caring about balancing the budget whilst not caring much about its people
-
It took me awhile to get up to speed with the genius within that ending. He starts off talking about something outlandish for the future and brings it around to the fact that these are the conditions that exist right now.
-
The culmination of all of this into "just like now" was one of the best things I've ever heard.
-
What a privilege it must have been to see George Carlin live.
-
Is George Carlin’s comedy anyone else’s therapy at a time like this?😞
-
His message went over SO MANY HEADS....
-
“The ones who live out where the buses don’t run.” “THAT’S MEEE!”
-
Even if we ignore the fact that he was way ahead of his times with his intelligence, humor etc etc, he also had a way with words like no one else ever had.
-
This man was way ahead of his time
-
One of the amazing things about Carlin is that he never let his audience own him. Some really fine and celebrated comedians have fallen into that trap.
-
"The only things you give'em is lethal weapons and live ammunition...." "FUCK'EM!!!" "So they can communicate in a meaningful way."
