this is real sad

I couldn't wait for his next hbo act after how great his last one was

Meathead · 06-23-2008, 11:25 AM

Joe Pesci has called the great George home

Squozen · 06-23-2008, 12:03 PM

Christ, Carlin and Stan Winston in one week. Shit.

Barbie-Shrimp · 06-23-2008, 12:13 PM

We should all watch Dogma to pay our respects.

Beta Man · 06-23-2008, 12:42 PM

Saw him live a few times..... he's funny.... got too political when he got older, but he was funny nonetheless.

RCO · 06-23-2008, 01:03 PM

R.I.P. funny man. You will be missed. I saw him twice and wore out my vhs of "Carlin At Carnige"

tron3 · 06-23-2008, 01:12 PM

Heard it on 1010WINS on the way to work. First Harvey Korman now George Carlin.

Hope you RIP, George.

doctorsteve · 06-23-2008, 01:15 PM

Saw him many years ago... He forced people to think and challenged what they came up with. RIP, you f'ing comic genius ( tip of the hat to his 7 words...)

When I was teenager struggling to understand and express who I am, there was always George Carlin making it cool to be an atheist in a world where people will always hate you for being different. He's the first person that I saw swearing on TV. Carlin held up a middle finger to everybody, lived by the motto that we're all absurd *******s, and if you don't love him it's because you're too self-serious.

I'm gonna miss you, George.

Carlin is one of my favorite people. He has countless HBO specials. His last one from March was really really funny. I skipped seeing him live last year because of $ - now I'll never get to.

kuliddar · 06-23-2008, 01:31 PM

Yep, I big chunk of comic history passed away today. Even though it's all comedy, the truths coming out of his skits were amazing. As someone mentioned, even though it was a comic moment, it made you think at the same time about today's society sillyness....

GarettP · 06-23-2008, 01:44 PM

Will be missed greatly!

Sorry to see the news. However, he had failed to be funny for years. His early years were great but the last not so much. When I saw him a couple of years ago the audience was silent as they shuffled out of the playhouse. A sure sign that I was not along in thinking wow that was not funny at all.

The Gnome · 06-23-2008, 01:53 PM

To one of the greats, who challenged the politically correct, the insanely mundane and all that was proper... I raise my glass and salute the man that made the "F" word funny.
Happy trails funny man, you will be missed

Wondermaker · 06-23-2008, 02:03 PM

That was rather unexpected.

I too thought he had at least another 10 years left in him; he was always such a tough old goat. I really loved his sharp brand of comedy and his laid-back style. He did some great work in his time.

You'll be missed, George.

Have you seen all of his specials? He has a ton. The only one I did not find funny was I believe two specials ago. It was overly cynical and less funny. Every other special is hilarious - including his last one from March this year.
