Yes.
>inb4 zoomer posting DUDE xxxxx LMAO

Yes, but a lot of his humor belongs to a certain time, and it's understandable if you're younger and don't find him funny or entertaining.

Yes, but humor usually doesn't age well. Dane Cook and Dice are good examples of people who were/are very talented but their humor stagnated. Carlin was very good, it's just not that funny anymore. The topics have been explored.

>I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond!
I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
Behind the eight ball, ahead of the curve, ridin the wave, dodgin the bullet and pushin the envelope. I’m on-point, on-task, on-message and off drugs. I’ve got no need for coke and speed. I've got no urge to binge and purge. I’m in-the-moment, on-the-edge, over-the-top and under-the-radar. A high-concept, low-profile, medium-range ballistic missionary. A street-wise smart bomb. A top-gun bottom feeder. I wear power ties, I tell power lies, I take power naps and run victory laps. I’m a totally ongoing big-foot, slam-dunk, rainmaker with a pro-active outreach. A raging workaholic. A working rageaholic. Out of rehab and in denial!
But, I’m feeling, I’m caring, I’m healing, I’m sharing-- a supportive, bonding, nurturing primary care-giver. My output is down, but my income is up. I took a short position on the long bond and my revenue stream has its own cash-flow. I read junk mail, I eat junk food, I buy junk bonds and I watch trash sports! I’m gender specific, capital intensive, user-friendly and lactose intolerant.
I like rough sex. I like tough love. I use the “F” word in my emails and the software on my hard-drive is hardcore--no soft porn.
Comic genious, everyone.
Jordan Moore
No, he basically paved the way for all these shitty "comedians" we have today.
Hated him back then, still hate him now.
Matthew Lee
>goes straight into a pussy farts bit
Such genius. Much wow.
Cooper Hall
He was groundbreaking for his time but his shit aged horribly and spawned the birth of countless insufferable neckbeards like pic related
Luis Walker
He went from being a daring observational comedian to a cranky old man stating the obvious.

americans are fucking retarded and that's why they find him funny
Hunter Harris
yes, zoomer opinions need not apply
Leo Morgan
Oh shit, does Yea Forums hate Carlin now or do I like him?
Owen Wright
lenny bruce's set is so tame by today's standards it's a wonder why people say hes so influential
Jayden Nelson
add: tasteless yuroshits as well
Daniel Myers
Meh, I was never a fan of the asshole and proud type persona, but he's relatively harmless.
The archetypical Boomer Comedian.
Jaxon Bailey
Superb taste good sir
Noah Hall
The world needs Carlin more than ever.
Imagine him hearing about the Netflix guy being fired because he said "the n-word" while instructing employees that the word nigger should never be used.
This generation is mentally diseased, they cannot comprehend context, they let words dictate their lives. Hearing grown people having forbidden words is so pathetic and sad.
I'd love to have Carlin screaming NIGGER at the top of his lungs to make his point.
Daniel Watson
HE'S GONNA SAY IT!
Cooper Walker
Probably dislike him because of the fedora hate trend but still like him for being politically incorrect and calling a lot of the bullshit out.
Isaiah Jenkins
Yea Forums is a bunch of 19 year olds with extreme shit taste and larping as christians for contrarianism, what do you think they would think of Carlin?
As all zoomers they cannot place anything within historical context, if they see a black and white movie they sperg out about it and they think The Thing looks comical with bad effects.
So they see Carlin's routine and they think it's "reddit and obvious", because they are too fucking dumb to even understand that when Carlin did it you couldn't even say "boobs" or "piss" on television and radio.
Easton Morris
carlin would be an sjw, atheists have no ability to formulate a morality beyond whatever the mores of the time are
>when Carlin did it you couldn't even say "boobs" or "piss" on television and radio.
oh no how horrible
Jace Rogers
He's the reason South Park could say shit 200 times
Ian Gomez
He was a good orator
Sebastian Ramirez
>rodney not god tier
Charles Wood
You're a moron, he was already calling liberals fascists at the end of his life.
Cooper Taylor
>>Good evening peepers, prowlers, pederasts, panty-sniffers, punks and pimps. I'm George Carlin, the demon dog, the foul owl with the death growl, the white knight of the far right, and the slick trick with the donkey dick. I'm the author of 16 books, masterpieces all; they precede all my future masterpieces. These books will leave you reamed, steamed and drycleaned, tie-dyed, swept to the side, true-blued, tattooed and bah fongooed. These are books for the whole fuckin' family, if the name of your family is Manson.
jesus christ this is fucking awful
Jacob Myers
>Dane Cook is a good of example of a person who is very talented
LMAO at this opinion

Lazy, low effort, babby's first time list. You're missing tons of comics from every level. But you probably have only seen a couple of those on Netflix or YouTube.
>rodney dangerfield
Rodney's stand up was SHIT. It was warmed over, Borscht Belt bullshit. "Hey, take my wife!" Go fuck yourself.
You know how i know you're a fag? You think Rodney is good.
Landon Thomas
shut the fuck up boomer retard

lol all the things people in this thread are praising carlin for are part of the reason the country is so fucked now

>being too racist to host an internet talk show
Opie really turned out to be the only normal person from that show
Jaxson Edwards
Ah bloo bloo, aw, a 13 year old is crying on the internet again.
Samuel Miller
>wahhhhh muh racism
He may be racist but almost every thing he said about black people is true and he was truly based for not apologizing (to this day) for his tweets. You're just a faggot.
Brandon Rivera
Why don’t you tell us how you really feel Faggot
Nolan Ward
He's a pedo
Ethan Peterson
And he's the most unfunny and not entertaining one, crazy how that works.
Luke Cox
he was for the time.
speaking out against america was taboo unlike now.
Jaxon Sullivan
and MDE
Grayson Robinson
I just told you how I feel about that, shithead.
He fucked a 16 year old, not a pedo.
Oliver Hill
He was a great observer and commentator of current politics and events. He didn't necessarily hit it with jokes as much as he pointed out how stupid things were.
He was able to make everyone relate to what he was saying though, and things he said like "everyone that drives faster than you is crazy and everyone that drives slower than you is an idiot" are good observations that we all do and it's funny when someone points them out.
Yeah, he funny.
Jose Sullivan
george carlin was perfection
Justin Allen
No he's not, he's dead.
Andrew Collins
Benjamin Richardson
Carlin definitely had a way with words. He was a linguistic genius.
Isaac James
David Moore
Yes, but he opened the excuse of people going on about politics instead of using it as a part of an act. Although he did overdo it at times, it pales in comparison to these "comedians" nowadays.
Ayden Garcia
Yup. George is the illegitimate father of Bill Maher.
Noah Hernandez

He writes good sermons. He's a good preacher. He would be the coolest professor ever. But he's never made me wholly laugh once.
He's the guy audiences "woo!" at.
Lincoln Adams
>the reason the country is so fucked now
Oh, because you can say "fuck" on television.
Jordan Wilson
No one ever mentions Patrice o'neal. Hes great
Dylan Hughes
>He's the guy audiences "woo!" at.
I could never really put my finger on why I despise millennial comedy but this is it.
Nobody tells jokes anymore, they just echo the audience's opinions back at them because you're considered a success if the audience is making noise. Amy Schumer is probably the worst offender.
Jayden Gomez
>>ORANGE MAN BAD!
>WOOOO!
COMEDY, CURRENT YEAR
Carson Rivera
It's not "millennial" comedy. That style of comedy has been a thing for a long time.
Asher Hughes
>I think what we really need more of is ritual suicide
On national television.
The absolute madman.
Jason Diaz
>Eddie Murphy great
>Dave Chappelle good
Grayson Watson

Evan Scott
I loved him as Rufus but his standup isn't anything special unless you're one of those 'muh noble standup profession' types like Rogan.
Kevin Walker
>I want to bite Robin Quivers on her black neck, and her blacker kluge
Could he get away with it today?
Caleb Miller

Grayson Morris
i liked that guy who smashed melons with a hammer better. can't remember his name.
Michael Garcia
No. He was just a cynical fedoralord.
Ryan Gray
One of the best.
Elijah Lopez
Yes.
Christian Barnes
Yes, and he evolved and grew very well. You could maybe skip the last special, still good but kind of just angry.
Mason Nguyen
eddie and rodney both could go into elite tier, otherwise good list
