America’s first and funniest counterculture spokesman stars in a new, uncensored 60-minute evening of stand-up comedy. Carlin’s 14th original solo HBO stand-up special, GEORGE CARLIN: IT’S BAD FOR YA is filled with the comic’s dead-on-funny insights on such issues as: the advantages of being old; euphemisms associated with dead people; child worship and the failure of the so-called “self-esteem” movement; his intolerance of stupid and/or boring people; how to respond to parents who show you pictures of their kids; civic superstitions like removing hats in a place of worship, or swearing on the Bible; and above all, our abnormal preoccupation with BS, i.e., “stuff that’s bad for ya!”

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
Two guys are on an elevator. One guy farts. Everyone knows who did it! The other guy gets off at the mezzanine and walks down.
Too funny. Too true!
Because I always dread tackling the housework, one of my favorite quotes is:
“Dusting is a good example of the futility of trying to put things right. As soon as you dust, the fact of your next dusting has already been established.”
“Just when I discovered the meaning of life, they changed it”.
“By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth”
The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept.
“In America, anyone can become president. That’s the problem.”
When you’re born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you’re born in America, you get a front-row seat.
Did you ever notice that other peoples stuff is crap, but your crap is Stuff?
Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

“What ever happened to kids playing in the mud with a stick?” Seen George for the first time live in Vegas this past Aug. But I use to sneak to watch him on hbo when i was little. So I’ve been a fan for years.

“In America, anyone can become president. That’s the problem.”

Love George Carlin, here is my favorite ~ “Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.”
Some people know what ship the’re own, the rest are still trying to find their way to the dock. Medium sizes
My favorite George Carlin quote is “Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?”

whoever said “buyer beware” must have been bleeding from the behind.

There are too many; it’s hard to pick one. The new HBO show was amazing and if I had been able to watch it more than once I would use something from that — the bit about the good things about getting old including be able to say you forgot anything you didnt want to go to was great, as was the fact that kids can’t play with sticks in the mud anymore.
But, here’s the one I pick verbatim:
