Tribute to George Carlin, a Comedy Hero

June 23, 2008 · Print This Article

The world lost one of its comedy heroes yesterday with the passing of George Carlin. George may not have been green, but he was smart, sarcastic, and always dead on with his words. He’s the kind of comedian that inspires our snarkiness, and he will be greatly missed.  As tribute, here’s one of George’s most famous routines, ‘Seven Dirty Words’, also known as ‘Seven Words You Can’t Say on Television’.

    RIP. Paved the way for so many other irreverent comics.

    I loved “there’s an invisible man who lives in the sky, who is all powerful, all seeing, all knowing, and he has a list of TEN THINGS, he doesn NOT want you to do, and if you do ANY one of these things…” bit about the largest sources of Bullshit in the world.

    Or his view on immunology: “we NEVER got sick as kids, we swam in the Hudson river! We were tempered in raw shit.”

    Man… heavy news. The world will be slightly less sarcastic now…

Got something to say?
