"After Richard Pryor"? Bovine poop.George Carlin was THE best comedian ever. His shows were not only hystericaly funny but at times, very profound.Carlins "wordmanship" had no equal and I don't believe we'll ever see anyone like him again.

Carlin was a unique individual. Loved his style and they way he ripped apart hypocrites. We surely miss him

As a guy born in 1979, I unfortunately missed the true heyday of guys like Pryor and Carlin. I remember when I was about 9 and my uncle played "A Place for My Stuff" by George Carlin on a cross country trip to Cali, and I have been a diehard Carlin fan ever since. Pryor was great, and yes, could be considered in "the greatest" debate easily, but for me, it doesn't get any better than Carlin's skewering of the English language, his treatise on religion, and "baseball vs. football."

George Carlin was a filthy mouthed, vulgar atheist. He made fun of decency and his humor was based on pushing the envelope. Today's comedians would have been jailed when this country was a God fearing, patriotic place to live. Now, it is a sewer, and the sewer rats and maggots are running the farm.

Lighten up, Francis.

Richard Pryor was a crackhead, and not at all funny.

He inspired me to try and be analytical and observant in an intellectual way. At least I think so. Im kind of an asshole now, ha ha, thanks George. Ill remember him always

We are so much alike and yet so different living in a world where we think we have control and have none in a universe that is so expansive and yet watching television implodes our psyche. In the abstract:
I have seen a smile worn by a little boy in Africa walking and chewing on a piece of sugarcane, no shoes, torn pants and walking in the middle of nowhere, owning life, existence and absolutely free. Half way around the world the stock market has caused trillions of dollar losses and thousands of suicides even from those that went from personal wealth in billions to hundreds of millions and some from millions to hundreds of thousands and others to simply nothing.
You taught so many to think outside of the box and to challenge ridged minds through the catalyst of humor and self realization on the one side and those that are somewhat free just to laugh and have fun on the other side.
If we dare to be ourselves and real and have the courage to shake that all self importance we demand, life would be worth living. Hey, I have a show to do, Appreciating You.

The man was a genius - don't care what polital or social group you belong to - he will be missed.

George Carlin was hilarious but the best part about him was that he really made people think and open their minds. I loved his performance on the topic of people's stuff. I think almost everyone can relate to it. I am a Christian and did not agree with Mr Carlin on his view of God but it is a free country and he was free to believe however he chose. I did not find that part of his act funny but most of the other parts were great. I also loved his act on football and baseball, since I am a big football fan.

I was introduced to George's comedy in my early 20's by a friend who had a bad cassette copy of a show he had done many years before. I had never laughed so hard in my life. Yes, George did "push the envelope"....but he also made me think. And if ANYONE could make a bubbleheaded, 22 year old, blond chick THINK....well, then he MUST have had something worthwhile to say. Fortunately, I had the absolute pleasure of seeing him perform live, just 4 months before he died. A true comedy master.
I'll miss you, George

CLEARLY HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST. DENNIS MILLER SEEMS TO HAVE MIMICED GEORGE'S STYLE INTO HIS SINCE HE SEEMS SO EDUCATED DOING HIS ACT. MR CARLIN MADE ME LAUGH, AND MADE ME THINK, AND TO SOME DEGREE TAUGHT ME SOMETHING WHEN I LISTENED TO HIS WORK. WHEN I HEARD HE PASSED, I ACTUALLY HAD TO SIT DOWN AND TAKE FIVE. I MISS HIM STILL TODAY.
