R.I.P. George Carlin

never heard of him

Man I cant believe you.He was a really hilarious comedian.Practically everybody I know has heard of him.

Dane Cook will live until he's 98.

That's the shit thing.

I only saw him in Bill and Ted and yesterday on a small clip of some comedy (which he was making fun of religion and I did not find that funny). This is kind of irrelevant to me.

I personally think he was way overrated and he was only famous because of his fanbase which included fellow comedians.

But that's not important anymore. He's gone and will be remember.

This sucks. He was my all-time favorite comedian. Even though he wasn't as funny as he used to be, he was still better than 75% of the comedians alive today. He will be missed a whole lot.

I awoke this morning to find this on the local news... I haven't been so upset since Johnny Cash died... Damn... This sucks most royally.

RIP, George.

Great comedian. Made me constantly laugh. He will be missed..

What's not to like about a guy who speaks into the back of his hand, who goes left across the stage AND THEN RIGHT ALL OF THE SUDDEN! *weren't expecting that, huh* and does it while walking with his knees together?

Dane Cook was a fizzle in the frying pan, Carlin's comedy will be remembered/admired for years to come. Essentially out-living other subpar comics.

Talk about damning with faint praise. I'm sure he was in a more exclusive percentile than that.

Making up statistics is fun.

I was in my truck this morning listening to the radio and I found out that George died. I almost couldn't breathe.

George Carlin was, and always will be, one of the greatest entertainers this world has ever seen. His comic genius was always razor sharp and cutting edge with the times we live in.

I first discovered George's material when I was around 10 years old. His concert, Back in Town, was playing on HBO and I watched it all the way through and instantly became a fan.

George has influenced many, many comedians that are around today, and, also, many of his fans, as well.

It's a dirty shame that George Carlin, Sam Kinison, and Bill Hicks are gone from this world, and Dane Cook, Larry the Cable Guy, and Carrot Top are still performing.

Thank you for the laughs, George. If there really is a god, and you meet him, kick him in the nuts for me.

Why, because he just died?

Sorry, but the crown still belongs to Pryor.

I didn't think Pryor was all that funny.
Carlin, however, was and always will be funny.

Richard Pryor was a genius in his own way, too. He was a very funny man.

I'm not damning him. I'm just willing to admit that his most recent material wasn't nearly as good as his stuff in the 70's and 80's. That's ok with me, though, because he was still very funny.

crytissue RIP

I think I'll make a sig in his memory. Call it cheesy, if you will, but I think it only appropriate.
