Otokichi Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/06/23/carlin.obit/ Comedian George Carlin died today. "The Foole" has left to spar with George Burns, Lenny Bruce, and Andy Kaufman. Edited June 23, 2008 by Guest
Levis Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Oh A friend sent me this video and that was the first time I heard of him.
Kevin Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 I think I should quit smoking ... NOW ! Thanks for the laughs , George !
Shawna Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 jeez, I just got done watching his "7 Words" routine, the "football vs. baseball," and the "cats and dogs." This guy's stuff has become part of Americana. He was a genius!
Jenny Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 I saw him at a live performance maybe 6-7 years ago. A big loss for the world of comedy.
MindCrime Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 My favorite joke by him was Did you hear the one about the gay man who was run over by a car? The doc came to the parents and told them he had some good news and bad news. "The bad news first", he said. "Your son is in a coma and looks like he'll never come out of it". "What possibly could be good news, doc?" asked the dad. "Well, he WAS a fruit, now he's a vegetable!" R.I.P.
_Laurie_ Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 I remember when we first got HBO and me and my sister couldn't wait until George came on and with his 7 words you can't say....funny stuff...RIP George...
Lea Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 He was my favorite comedian I've watched him for years. He was one of those comedian's that never got old. The young people today like him as much as my generation did. He will be missed
Uncle Joe Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 As the Hippy Dippy Weather Man (very early in his career) he was the first to deliver this often repeated forecast: "The forecast for tonight: Dark." RIP George.
miamisammy29 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 George Carlin had no equal. RIP, Funny Man.
phil Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Carlin was the best at finding humor in everyday life. He'll be missed. Stuff
_Laurie_ Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 As the Hippy Dippy Weather Man (very early in his career) he was the first to deliver this often repeated forecast: "The forecast for tonight: Dark." RIP George. And turner lighter towards morning...
Ken Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Carlin will be sorely missed. His view on religion changed my way of thinking. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, George. May Joe Pesci bless you....
MuzikTyme Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Bless his soul even though I ponder his belief in atheism now. Thanks for the laughs, Georgy!!!
Mike Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 I did find his "perceptions" approach to life questions funny. The 7 words bit was revolutionary. He was a bit hard on religion, I wonder what he was thinking about God just before he died?! I hope he saw the light. Peace be with all the Carlin family!
Steel2Velvet Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Carlin, along with Woody Allen, pioneers of today's approach to topical comedy.
