I personally think he's the best. Better than Chappelle.
Would have loved to hear him do a stand up special on this Covid era.
I don't understand the adoration for him. He's an incredible orator, but not very funny. Nobody watched a George Carlin special and laughs their head off, but more than likely spends most of it nodding in agreement. I'm not even sure i would call what he does "comedy".
Preaching is more important than comedy ?He wasn't a comedian in the later years. He transcended comedy into something else. Something more important.
I put him as Good.
He was better at preaching. As in, id listen to him and not laugh most of the times, but be in agreement.
Need folks like him today like a motherfucker.
I was gonna mention it and that he got some backlash for it. However, if anyone paid attention to that, they would also notice nothing happened to him. Hed still sell, hed still kill, and hed still be fine when the dust settled.That's how Dave Chapelle was in his last "comedy" special (8:46). He may have made 5 jokes max, but said some deep stuff.

I'd say Carlin is unquestionably one of the all-time greats, but to me he hit some stages in his later years where his stand-up was more cynical ranting on the stupidity of humanity than ha-ha funny. Still his body of work and longevity put him near the top.Everyone has the right to their opinion. Chappelle is great no doubt, but I prefer George Carlin style of delivery and the contents of his jokes.
Btw isn't human beings part of nature? So it's essentially nature being nature.
I've said this before, but he's the guy who thinks he's too cool for everything, and thinks he's way smarter than he actually is. His bit on saving the planet for example - he's completely wrong on almost everything he says. Pretty much everywhere humans have ventured throughout history, mass extinctions of wildlife have followed. No, that's not just nature doing it's thing, it's humans being significantly more advanced than the rest of life on Earth, and us wielding that power carelessly. It's something we can stop, and should.
And fucking lol at him being better than Chappelle.

*Like*I lost my virginity thanks to George Carlin. His standup about “the giant man in the sky and he’s got 10 thing he does not want you to do” cost a girl I knew her faith. Gave up on the cross and hopped on the D.
He’s the best comedian ever as far as I’m concerned.
