George Carlin's material covers a variety of topics, and while he started as a one-liner stand up comic, he gradually evolved into a much more complex, comedic gold-mine of brilliance.
I was first introduced to George through my cable television while surfing the HBO catalog. I was in my teens, and I would soon find out that my parents also shared a deep love and appreciation for George's humor. Since that day I've been hooked, and I find myself re-watching his material for hours on end, it never getting old to me. I can always find something new and hilarious in his shows that I didnt notice before, or looked at in a different way.
Now, I see it as my civic duty to introduce a younger generation to George Carlin, just as I was introduced to him. Watching his HBO specials, from the first production to his most recent show just before he passed away, really helps me appreciate the evolution of a genius as he walks the tight rope of life (ok that was sort of dramatic, but its true.)
I scrounged up this free video of one of my favorite George Carlin specials to give new viewers a taste of his best stuff, as well as for lifetime fans to reminisce with.
George Carlin - Doin' It Again (59:00) - Stand Up Comedy, Politics/ Society, Food/ Health/ Sports, Language/ Ethnicity, Random Observations, George Carlin
- Watch more Politics Videos at Vodpod.
This is a free video of the entire show "Doin It Again'", and I'm not sure how long it will be available to watch, so hurry!
I'd tell you to purchase the DVDs but I believe Carlin would advise against it, as he is dead and no longer has the capacity to care about what you do.
