That he's just a rambling old man that has no fucking clue what he's talking about.
I mean, sure it's funny, but you know, alright Mr Pessimist, shut the fuck up.

You're absolutely right to a point, he was a rambling old man, but he got people to think, which is why he is revered as a legend, or a "thinking mans comic"
Some of his bits are just off the wall and clearly not made to be taken seriously, but he went against the social norms and tackled social taboos. In his later years, IMO, you can see he became a little more hostile and angry in his specials, but he loved people and their potential, just not what they've accomplished with that potential.
That man opened up my mind and for that I will always look up to him, whether he was just rambling or not, he taught me at a young age that I don't have to follow what everyone else is doing and that it's okay to perceive the world differently then how it is normally perceived, and that meant a lot to me as someone who spent a lot of time alone because I didn't relate to people.
He taught me to question everything. And in a way, he was one of the first people who I felt I could relate to.
Edit: In some of his earlier specials when he was younger he wasn't as pessimistic, he was very unique and clever, a master manipulator of words, 7 dirty words you cant say on tv, time, stuff, all great bits, plus many many more. He was also one of the first people to scrap his special and start fresh, where most other comics would travel for years using the same exact routine, most decent comedians today release a new special with new material every year, and IMO it all started because of Carlin.

nahh... I don't really think that about George Carlin honestly. Now people who start shitty threads? Yea, they need to shut the fuck up. Ya know what I'm saying? It's like they wanna start a discussion, but it's always about something so trivial and mundane and nobody gives a shit. Those people could do to learn a few things from Carlin.

IMO if you watch his later specials, you'll only get the impression that he is pessimistic, but in his own mind it probably made perfect sense as to why.
Doug Stanhope covered this in one of his specials, for years you go out onto a stage where anywhere from fifty up to thousands of fans come out to watch you, all tell you how much you have a point about over population, war, abortion, any topic you can think of, and years and years and years go by and you get to a point where you just say fuck it because people don't change. It's got to eat away at you going out with a message and trying to shine a light into peoples closed minds and doing it for your entire life, just to see people are as stupid as they've always been, and that it's only getting worse.
I think Carlin must of felt the same way Stanhope did, which is why as he got older he seemed to get more serious about his hostility, he just started to not care because people clearly didn't care, he knew humans have major potential, and got frustrated after years of watching it be wasted, of course I didn't know him though, so it's only speculation. He did talk in an interview about how he just didn't care because the world is too fucked for it to be fixed, so he labeled himself as an observer of "the freak show"
I forget how he put it, but it was something like, when you're born on the earth you're given a ticket to the freak show, if you're born in America, you were given front row seats....hahaha

A lot of his bits about government and society were spot on. Some of his stuff was meant to be silly. Sheekle has better post quality than you pat and he's fucking around 24/7

I think he was so big because he was one of the first comics to make it big in stand up. Also he was amazing at the beginning of his career it was just the rest of his jokes I don't like.His older stuff is ramblesque. Still a legend.

He made his philosophy hysterical. Not too many other people could do that and no one else could do it as well as he could. His job was being funny and in the process he made people think about how ridiculous social norms are. If you don't get him you I don't know what to tell you.
Also, the irony of you making a thread complaining about his pessimistic ramblings really makes me want to stab myself in the eye with a screwdriver.

You do understand that you don't have to take what he says as gospel, right? Just making you laugh and think, that was his job.
