How would you classify George Carlin's overall philosophy, /his/?

Nihilism

Stupid

>>2257165
post-nihilism.

Arrogant misanthropic/nihilistic whining of an old world-weary man, mixed with almost teenager-like banal edgleordism.

tell redditors they are special snowflakes for being cynics

What comedians are good?

>tell funny jokes

Cynical, leftwing atheists who think they're unique intellectuals for being so pessimistic, but are actually very stupid people when you have a 10 minute conversation with them.

Carlin's was the lowest form of comedy.

Yet another idiot who never actually listened to a single Carlin act and only knows him by 10 minute youtube clips of his edgier, later life material.

Angry man

This. Carlin was an idiot who thought everyone else was an idiot.

>George Carlin got famous for being both witty and outrageous
>combined a love of language with very coarse bar room humor
>his routine always featured lots of word play and puns combined with weird observations and describing things in usual ways
>yet all Millennials think of when you say his name is his bitter rantings from when he'd become an old man
Sad

I didn't laugh once. Wasn't sure what I was listening to, and confused why anyone would pay money to listen to a cynical, pessimistic, angry person

An original shitposter.

>>2257165
Cynic.

He got incredibly bitter as he got older and his comedy went from counter culture observations to ramblin man rants about how the world is fucked.

Simply, he wasn't a comedian by his later years.

>>2257165
Contrarian, like the other end of /pol/.

Well the angrier political stuff he'd been doing that for like twenty years so a good chunk of his career. It'd started around the NJ special which was like '88 although it was always part of his act. There's a bit of his from like the '50s or '60s where it's less comedy, more an anti-police rant. Of course his stuff was still funny until maybe a few years before his death IMO.

>>2257165
His early stuff was semi-wholesome and pretty funny.
His middle stuff was hippie stuff with some poignant jokes.
His last stuff was nihilistic political idiocracy.

>>2259197
Lloyd may actually be the funniest youtuber.

>>2259197
Ironically, the end of his marriage was when he turned to shit. Usually failed relationships help a comic.

>>2260921
Speaking of "shit" there's way too much scatological and other disgusting type of form of humor in his shows. When he actually bothers to come up with a real joke instead of random gross thoughts I find him very funny though. Also even though he, like George Carlin, has a lot of black and cynical humor, it's not as annoying because of his self-deprecation, where as from Carlin you get the feeling that everyone and everything except him sucks.

I adore Carlin, but I can understand why he doesn't jive with some other people though. I admit I'm biased as I've been listening to his material over and over since I was a babby.

Loved his posthumous biography audiobook read by his little brother. Definitely recommend it for other fans as it gives you some insight on his acts throughout the years.

he actually attacked the political correctness that SJW's are so fond of

His actual standup is hit or miss imo, but on podcasts he may be the funniest motherfucker alive.

Carlin deconstructing language and words is always a joy to listen to. As much as some of his other political stuff could be high school edgy tier the guy really knew his shit when it came to that. There's a reason the Seven Dirty Words is his most famous bit.

Are people in this thread so blatantly ignorant to embrace their ADD to the point where they watch a 5 minute clip of his comedy and spew the same baseless contrarian rhetoric calling him things that are completely contrary to his comedy style? Fucking hell, neo-4chan needs to reevaluate it's life priorities by injecting it's cancerous mongoloid opinions back into the various psuedo social circle jerk shit-holes they cralled out from because they held that sense of superiority that they still hold in a place they are are so below. If you don't understand something fuck off. If you think you understand something but have baseless echo-chamber knowledge of fuck off more. This doesn't just apply to Carlin you fucking ball-less cretinous frauds.

Is Carlin actually any good? Never bothered, get put offby the fanbase which is fucking obnoxious.

No, I strictly mean IRL Carlin fans.

George Carlin was always legitimately funny, it's Bill Hicks that was an unfunny bitter pseud hack fraud.
