at the top of his game he was amazing but his last HBO special and stuff around the end of his life was just terrible

D L hugeley. He was one of te kings of comedy

Greg Giraldo but he dead

>>723357592
Literally anyone.

It's been years since he was funny.

>>723357592
Carlin was too topical, preachy, and rehearsed. I like him, but he was playing a character. I look for honesty in comedians. I like him, but any of his specials look dated today. He's the opposite of Gallagher, only as a character. He comes off as Gallagher with out the sledge hammer, but the same act. His seven deadly words thing came off as shtick.

>>723358474
I used to watch his show. I've seen his rise and fall. I study stand up. He's gone, and it's all because of his shtick. White folk black folk jokes are so done that Chapelle made fun of them.

>>723358466
Try early 70s

He had been coasting on his old routines for decades.

This guy, who Carlin idolized. His comedy seems either tame or dated by today's standards, but he died broke and kept doing his act even though he was usually arrested halfway through it. He paved the way for dirty comedy, and made it safe for adults to laugh at adult things, even (and especially if) they were in poor taste.

>>723359156
He did pave the way. He did change the course, and does deserve serious respect. He made all modern entertainment possible.

>>723357965
I love the guy, but not enough material. I have all of his albums, and it's the same stuff delivered different.

>>723357592
he was just great speaker but no sense of humour

>>723357592
Carlin was kind of an average comedian, an average author, and an average performer, and although this doesn't seem very flattering at first glance, when you think about it it's very hard for you to find anyone who is actually average on all those three things at the same time.

Most comedians are horrible writers, or/and awful performers. Those who happen to be decent authors aren't funny, or can't perform well. Good performers may carry shitty comedy with some effort, but they don't go too far without solid writing. This is the reason why so many performers have other people writing jokes for them.

When you really think about it, carling was far from being amazing, not because he was bad, but because everyone else is so god awful at this job.

How the hell has Richard Pryor not been mentioned. Most professional comedians consider him top 3 universally

>>723357592
Carlin was great for his time - but yeah, same old same old after a while.

Try Frankie Boyle, if you can understand a Scottish accent. He's fucking brutal. Had a show a few years back called "Tramadol Nights", utter fucking savagery.

Corge Garlin is gooder

>>723360482
Or maybe Pryor just isn't as funny as some people think and they're only saying it to appear progressive

>>723360405
he might be a savage but i just dont like him as much as carlin, Frankie is that one kid that ate shit for attention in prmary school

>723361151

>>723360981
Well, that's a shame for you - he's a genuinely funny, witty and intelligent bloke. And he's still producing new material so he has a slight edge over George, there.

Who's George Carlin ?

This guy here is the best stand-up ever in the history of the art

>>723361393
You realize Carlin had a career that spanned over sixty years right?

>>723357965
He retired too early to be considered one of the true greats

>>723357592
The only one I can think of that even comes close to Carlin is Chris Rock.

But yeah, Carlin's #1.

>>723361653
Retired?? Died man.

>>723361698
Do you watch any comedy at all?
Thats the exact answer of someone who watches no comedy.

>>723361702
really ? I never knew that

>>723357592
Doug Stanhope has the same observational blunt humour. Hes less popular but he could be up there for sure.

>>723357592
Itt: White people

>>723357592
One of the things I really appreciate about Carlin in how he was socially progressive, but took issue with the left as much as he did the right. He said he agreed with feminist theory, but did routines in which he bragged about "pissing off the feminists." He also did a good job of making homosexuality seem normal *without* pushing an agenda. One of my favorites jokes of his is his comeback to when people asked him if he was gay because he used to wear an earring: "Bend over and let's find out."

Also, his 2001 special, which premiered shortly after the 9/11 attacks, was originally titled, "I Love It When a Lot of People Die." It was on HBO, so he had to change the title...but part of me believes that he wouldn't have if he had complete creative control.

>>723361772
Yep. Cancer.

Then theres this whole conspiracy he faked it and now hes Alex Jones which is dumb but yeah.

>>723361833
Fuck you. I'm white and Katt Williams makes me laugh so hard that I sometimes shit my pants.

>>723361609
There's a really good book that spans his career called "Last Thoughts," which I recommend to anyone who is a fan. The audiobook version is read by his brother, who sounds exactly like him.

Masumoto Hitoshi, or the group Gaki no Tsukai.

Japanese comedy is far superior to western. And im a westerener.

Eddie Izzard?
Jimmy Carr?

I dunno. Comedy is different for everyone.

>>723357592
Tim Minchin is my favorite.

You realise you now have to die in a fire for that post. This fucker is the most needy cuck in the history of stand up. Makes me cringe every time he walks out on stage.

Not OP but his joke about spices was pretty fucking funny

One of those conspiracies designed to make CT's look crazy and discredit them

>>723362138
Sorry, i was taking the piss but i still felt dirty posting that

I know he's pretty divisive but I really like Ricky Gervais' stand up. I'd say Carlin is the greatest but Gervais is a personal favorite. Great podcast too.

Carlin was good, but as a few others have mentioned, he got a little preachy. Still great though. Some less famous, but good ones include:

Tom Papa
Paul F. Tompkins
Mike Birbiglia
Christopher Titus
Eugene Mirman
Jim Jeffries
Bo Burnham (if you like abstract humor and can get past the musical one-trick-pony shtick)

>>723357592
Who is George Carlin??

>>723364076
We would be friends.

I find mirman more entertaining than funny though if that makes sense..

>>723364378
Yeah. I hear you loud and clear on Mirman. I think he's a great showman and has a top-tier stage presence. His actual joke writing is hit or miss, but I love his delivery and general zaniness.

Carlin was more performance art than comedy.
