George Carlin

Why is he considered one of the greatest? He just comes off as an insufferable rambling contrarian edgelord

He is one of the greatest, but stand-up comedy is a bad art form.

George Carlin is Rick and Morty for boomers

He basically bitched about everything under the sun so he's easy money for any jughead to pretend he's one of /theirguys/.

Doug Stanhope will likely end up the same way at some point, which is a damn shame because unlike Carlin he's actually funny a majority of the time.

Hit the nail on the head pal tbqh

George Carlin and Bill Hicks were two of the best stand ups. They were not politically correct. Black stand up comics just talk about race, very lame.

He was a pioneer in the regard because no one would touch on the topics that he touched on in the media form that he touched on.

If podcasts or uncensored talk radio were a thing in his era - he would fit right in. I don't think he's particularly funny- i just think he had opinionated stances on a variety of topics that resonated and was at the time innovative.

because modern Western society has chosen cynicism and nihilism as it's guiding principles. It's uncool to like anything, especially your own parent culture, or to be positive about any aspect of life that has been improved by your ancestors' sacrifices or by timeless societal institutions that many other people find comfort, community and joy in. Nope, you have to only focus on the negative and you must continually tear down your fellow man's morale. Then you'll be exalted by all the other miserable fucks as the 2nd coming of not-Christ while the soul of the nation rots away.

Doug was never funny to me. He was more critical thinker but not funny. He gets so drunk on stage he cannot be understood.

When something is as seminal as Carlin, viewing the original seems banal, but that's because he was the source, or at least close to it.

Around 15 years ago I thought Carlin was the pinnacle of standup comedy. Just a few weeks ago, I rewatched his last 5 HBO specials and couldn't help but think he sounded almost exactly like the modern reddit poster. Aside from some "homophobic" jokes, his material is pretty much completely in line with the effete urbanite bugman redditor.

That said, I could still at least appreciate the way his delivery and word-based jokes. But yeah, that was about it.

only zoomies don't like him

newly redpilled fags eat his shit up. but once they get redpilled on the redpill he just isnt funny.

THERE'S NEVER A PUNCHLINE

holy cringe

Stanhope is complete trash

See
Basically, he influenced the thought of a large portion of today's population of millenials, who are now becoming the dominant generation. His ideas have become such an ingrained part of culture, and reiterated upon so many countless times, that he seems boring or shallow now. But he was the pioneer of all this, and 15 years ago it was mostly fresh and original.

this

he's so preachy and annoying good fucking riddance thank lung cancer

My friend who is highly intelligent, definitely smarter than me, showed me Stanhope one night and said he was hilarious. I genuinely thought it was completely unfunny, but I have no illusions about the fact that he is more intelligent than me. So I don't know what that means.
