TheRapidsNerd Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Man this is a rough year for celebs. Carlin, Diddly, Winston. Wow.
Movieguy Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 RIP Carlin...You were the best comedian of all time, as far as I'm concerned.
CoasterJunkie Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 I am just floored with this one... HUGE Carlin fan....got to see him perform live... RIP, thank for the laughs.
Homer Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 How come its always the good comedians that die? First Hedberg now Carlin. Rest in peace George, you were always one of the best comedians out there.
ParkTrips Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 ^ the bad ones die eventually too.. not that the man was old or anything I have nothing to say to this! I do... Shit! Fuck! (edited of course)
Sean Menefee Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 R.I.P. Rufus! It's a true bummer to wake up to this on my news feed this morning. The amount of work the guy left will be around for a long time to come, and I know I won't forget his no BS way of looking at life. Anyone have any favorites bits of his they would like to share? -Sean
Sparebear75 Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 RIP, and now you can say all those seven words wherever you want.
Hercules Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 71 is fairly young. I remember a few years ago when he was on Leno, and he wasn't looking that good even then. Sucks.
TheRapidsNerd Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Anyone have any favorites bits of his they would like to share? "Too much use of the this prefix pre. Pre existing, pre planning. Pre s*** my genital situation!" "The first time I heard 'Rain Even' I thought 'Holy s***! I hope I can get tickets for that!" "We would now like to pre board. You mean I can get on before I get on?!" "About this time someone is telling you to get on the plane. 'Get on the plane. Get on the plane...' I say f*** you I'm getting IN the plane! Let Eval Kneival get ON the plane. I'd rather be in here with you folks in uniform..." "Please observe the no smoking sign until well inside the terminal. It's physically impossible!!!" "This lady is coming on like the f****** mayor's wife welcoming me to an airport she isn't even at yet!" "You ever have a hatchet go right through your face? There's a nice cool breeze that goes across your brain..."
Calaway Park Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 He was the man that taught me why farts were never referenced on TV and why the Bible is BS. Siiggghh... -Sean
downunder Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 To think I was watching him the day before this was announced in a nice little cameo as a hitch hiker in Jay and Slient Bob Strike Back ("Sure I'll take a shot in the mouth if it'll get my another couple of hundred miles across the country"). George was way cool, and funny.
AllenA07 Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 RIP, and now you can say all those seven words wherever you want. He later agreed that there were only 6 deadly words, because "mother" in and of itself is not a dirty word. He will be missed, one of the funnier men out there and I wish I had gotten the chance to see him live.
RenegadeFan Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I'd rather be shot alive or made to go too Legally Blonde the musical rather then see him. What an ass.
CoastersNSich Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Two days before Carlin died, Jim Borgman of the Cincinnati Enquirer published a cartoon "with apologies to George Carlin" titled '7 Words You Can Never Say To Americans": You. Are. Using. Too. Damn. Much. Oil. http://borgman.cincinnati.com/ (They just redid the website, and unfortunately I have problems seeing enlarged cartoons.) From Fri Jun 20. I admire that even after he first found fame, he realized he as a stiff performing for other stiffs, and instead did something that better defined him and made sense to common people. Our American heroes (firefighters, policemen, soldiers, other personnel) use those "seven words" as Carlin said in an interview with O'Reilly from 2001.
raptorcrew2002 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Posted June 24, 2008 It’s funny because far and between some people truly do not understand him or his rants. Carlin had a true classic art form taking hot topics “in which would really get under someone’s collar” and running them in an actually intelligent point of view in sorts (and to degrees) one thing this world does not need less of is outspoken people with an actual point of view. I'd rather be shot alive or made to go too Legally Blonde the musical rather then see him. What an a$$. Those who say he’s an a$$, etc. Congrats people like Carlin assisted in you being able to still call him one. (Heck he’d be proud) the man was awesome and agree @ 71 the man looked great and was just as grumpy and fiery as ever, slightly slower but still good ol Carlin. About 2 years ago I finally got to see him for the first time ever when he hit Jacksonville and it was a blast! All in all I agree with an article I came across which said, the world just became much less funny. Some Favorite Carlin stuff I haven’t seen posted! “I’m sticking to the clean ones. I know they want the PG13 environment in here ” How to piss off a feminist; An it does not take a lot of imagination to piss off a feminist. All you gotta do is run into NOW headquarters or Ms. magazine and say, "hey, which one of you cute little cupcakes wants to come home and cook me a nice meal and give me a ****job! I woke up the other day and the first piece of news on television was 'last Tuesday marks Mickey Mouse's 78th birthday. That's not news! You know what I say? ***** Mickey Mouse! ***** Mickey Mouse up the ass! ***** Mickey Mouse up the ass with a big rubber *ick!" *These I had to grab online couldn’t think of his clean jokes… hmmm.. The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done". I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it. 2,443 dirty words on his website in the documents category. The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live. If someone loves you and they leave and don't come back, it was never meant to be. If someone loves you and they leave and come back, set them on fire. There's nothing funny about rape.....unless you're raping a clown. Sailing isn't a sport, it's a way to get somewhere. Riding a bus isn't a sport, why the ***** should sailing be sport? New Ferret from this weekend, Carlin.
edh Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 This really saddened me. He was my favorite comedian, and I always liked watching his videos and listening to his specials I had on my ipod. His material was offensive, but still made me laugh every time I heard it. R.I.P George Carlin, may the sun and Joe Pesci be with you.
generaleclectic Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Being that I am a political enthusiast, this bit has to be my favorite: “I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.” “This is a little prayer dedicated to the separation of church and state. I guess if they are going to force those kids to pray in schools they might as well have a nice prayer like this: Our Father who art in heaven, and to the republic for which it stands, thy kingdom come, one nation indivisible as it is in heaven. Give us this day as we forgive those who so proudly we hail. And crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming. Amen.
TheBannedKid Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 This suits his death, haha. Love the man and his comedy! "The planet isn't going anywhere. WE ARE! Pack your shit, folks. We're goin' away. "
spacemtfan Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I'm so sad that George Carlin had died. Before I knew him as a comedian, I first found out about him as Mr. Conductor from Thomas & Friends. That role would influenced my childhood. Goodbye, Mr. Conductor!
BeemerBoy Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I'd rather be shot alive. What? I loved Carlin. But you know what the funniest thing is about his death? He's probably laughing at all of you for mourning his passing.
mcjaco Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I'd rather be shot alive. What? I loved Carlin. But you know what the funniest thing is about his death? He's probably laughing at all of you for mourning his passing. ^ LOL.
Team Thriller Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 This really bummers me. He was one of the few standups that could really make me laugh. I still love the airplane act: Attendent : In case of an emercency, the seat cushion can be used as a life vest. George : No way I'm going to us something a big f**ck probably farted in. Attendent : In case of an emercency. Please remain calm. George : How the hell I'm I going to remain calm. we are all going to die. Attendent : Before putting on your mask. Please help the little children with theres first. George : Screw the kids __________________________ There are so many good ones. I have a CD collection of him. Here is one more of my favorite: ______________________________ Man harming the Earth is a joke, I mean, we have volcano eruptions, plate technonics, tidle waves, hurricains, tornadoes, wild fires, comet crashes, mud slides, and they are all concerned if someone throws a f**cking can out of the car window. --James
spacemtfan Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 ^ I think I found another quote from the same skit: "I can't imagine why they wouldn't use the word COCKPIT, especially with all of those stewardesss going in and out!" ---LOL! The best line ever heard!
