I think he was absolutely hilarious. We need more truly intelligent people like him in the comedy scene, he could talk about anything and make people laugh. He'll be missed.

Yet another great legend has passed. I was shocked when I turned on the news this morning and found out. R.I.P. George....

Oh man does that hurt. I loved George Carlin. He will be sorely missed...

 

[audioman00]

That IS bad news. i loved him! he was one of the best in my book and the first white comic to get raunchy on tv and piss off the old guys....lmao!!! he chose comedy over conformity and $$.. RIP GEORGE!!!! keep making god laugh

Yeah, I couldn't believe it when I heard that this morning.

I remember watching his HBO specials when I was a kid. I saw him in SF a couple of years ago, and he was HI-larious. He was supposed to be playing the Mountain Winery here in August. I was thinking about going. Guess I can't now.

First Harvey Korman, now George. Lame.

 

[Audioholics]

He had some serious skills.

Everyone dies. This is a good reminder to take inventory of your life.

I just watched him introduce "Buddy Christ" last week too (Dogma). RIP George.

He was one of my favorites and I know the seven words you can never say on TV by heart (heard that bit many times ) That and his bit about airline jargon - 'The plane will be landing shortly. Oh no, does that mean we're going to miss the runway?' are classics. He really did have a unique way of looking at things. I saw him two years ago in FL.

I was shocked to see the news this morning and he will be missed.

A sad day indeed...

Now that is one man that would have undeniably gotten my vote for PRESIDENT!!!!


Thanks for the memories George....

Didn't his wife recently die as well? I bet that took a toll on him. RIP.

His career sorta died a few years ago, my parents saw him in NYC and he turned into a ranting Political activist which would be ok if it was funny. I remember his show "What the hell am I doing in New Jersey" and back then he was great but RIP, many will miss him.

Yes, he was very much on the political nay-sayer bandwagon when I saw him live in FL a few years ago. Sometimes funny and sometimes not, but I remember him mostly for what he was prior to that.

You know things like Gallagher does, like 'why do we call them buildings, when they are already built, we should call them builts'. He started all that and he was very funny in his prime. Peiople get old and die, and we are always shocked but he did at least leave a mark on those of us that experienced his wit.

Boy I would love to put Gallager's head under his own hammer, if I could get Carrot Top in there too it would almost a perfect day

Oh man this is such shocking news. I just found out as the day has gotten away from me. Just have not had much time for anything. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Carlin family. He was absolutely funny to say the least. RIP as he will surely be missed.

Cheers,

Phil

I was shocked to hear of this today but seeing how he looked in a recent performance, its not surprising. He was a great comedian and will be pissed.

did you really mean pissed? or missed?

the P and M on the keyboard are pretty far from each other ... so i guess it's a running joke.

Wow that is bizzare and kinda of funny. I did mean "Missed".

I looks like my index and middle fingers got confused while I was typing.

I'm pretty sure I'll be pissed when I die too.
