Yes, it's Germans (George is dead, and video is from 2009)

George Carlin - The Male Disease

I don't agree with everything he's saying here, but some great advice for some of you young 20 something OT ballers.

Five Male Subcultures
Car and Machinery Culture
Police and Military Culture
Outdoor and Shooting Culture
Sports and Competition Culture
Alcohol and Drug Culture

Bonus: Let's Go Get Some Pussy and Beat the shite out of Queers Culture

Which culture are you in?

I never found George Carlin all that great. His delivery and timing is off-putting to me for some reason.

Shooting and sport culture.

This should be like Myers Briggs where we can mix and match

George Carlin is more real than funny. I find him funny, but not hilarious-his routines were moreso philosophical than anything else. One of the all time greats.

Eh, his standup is just like DL Hugley's "Let me tell you the difference between black people and white people" routines (which is virtually his only shtick).

GC does the "let me tell you about why whites, conservatives, and religions are so fricking horrible" routine. It gets old and pretentious in a hurry.

Did you really just compare George Carlin to DL Hughley?

No, I compared their lack of range as comedians.

Nice ignorance of the subject matter. Go listen to the entirety of GC's work. He attacks politically correct liberals and feminists as well.

Carlin went from "7 words you can't say on TV" to narrating "Thomas the Train". That's some range if you ask me.

I am a combination of these. I party and love sports, both playing and watching them.

He also talked about a range of relatable real life experiences. I think that dude has never actually listened to any amount of Carlin.

One of my favorite carlin quotes:

"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"

But I'm sure that's just a routine about "why whites, conservatives, and religions are so fricking horrible" right?

He is my favorite comedian but I'll admit his performances in his later years did tend to focus on the topics you mentioned and were not his best material imo. But the dude has 40 years of stand up material and of that 40 years there is some great stuff. Comparing him to DL Hugley is a bit rough

You need to gtfo quick because you sound like an idiot.

Sure his later work sounded that of a bitter old man, but that was what made it great. He evolved his range to that. Do you even know how he started out? Straight laced suit and tie wearing guy doing ok routines not even close to what he evolved to when getting his DJ gig. Then Al Sleet in the 60s/70s, his Supreme Court case involving the "7 words" leading to the government policing the airwaves, his commentaries on trends through 50 years on not just pop culture but politics of the day. And then, of course, as someone mentioned, the conductor on TtT. Ha, no range? You're letting the likes of Dane Cook get the better of your intellect. (If that's possible)

GC has done more to break barriers, push the line, and has arguably been the most influential for comedy and comedians than any other comic aside from Prior whether some keyboard jockey believes it or not.

Maybe not THE greatest of all time, but certainly the top tier.

He made fun of everyone. A liberal would probably say he was a conservative who made fun of the left. His comedy called out people from all walks of life- naturally, people hear one of his routines they find offensive, and think Carlin is after them.
