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

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.

This is too true, comedians are IMO the last true form of freedom of speech, they have the ability to draw a mass crowd and be able to speak openly about subjects that are usually spoken in hushed tones and whispers in every day life, they can bring things to light that would normally go unspoken, at least in the media.
It doesn't matter the subject, if they are talented enough they can make it in a way that appeals to most people regardless of what subject it is, that's why subjects such as abortion, politics, and anything else that can be a hot topic SHOULD be used by comedians, it's always good to get a different perspective on something, especially if it comes across with an actual point behind it.
Comedians have the ability to open the minds of their crowds with ideas most people don't or wouldn't think of.
I don't watch tv, haven't in years, but I'm literally obsessed with comedy and stand up, in fact it was/is my dream to do standup. Call it pathetic or whatever you want, but most of my life philosophies I've gotten through standup, and I still find myself occasionally learning something thanks to a comedians point of view.
Stanhope, Carlin, Hicks, even Dave Chappelle, were all amazing at showing the irony in society, there's sooo many more, even up and coming ones that SHOULD be taken seriously, and for good reason. They all have their particular topic they like to cover, whether it be racism, politics, whatever it is, but IMO comedians like that, are the best ones. Most of the time it's pretty obvious which jokes aren't meant to be taken seriously anyway.

Keep a notebook on you. I worked in a comedy club and every tuesday night was open mic night. Alot of those guys were funnier than some of the "headliners" because it was raw. It wasnt a polished script theyd been doing god knows how many times, going through the motions.
It felt like you were right there with them, it would actually get your adrenaline going, like you were up there with the underdog. I can tell you dig that shit...do it.

Yeah, he's hilarious, but after you watch his specials once, you're done. Unlike Louis CK and Bill Burr where you can watch the show 5 times and not tire of it.

That, to me, tells me that the point he's getting across is sticking. Louis C.K. has the same motive but he's more subtle. Like it's funny regardless but if you feel like thinking, the message is there.

Well in all fairness he does offer many solutions to the problems he is referring to in his rants, and as far as the watching it once and being done, well Carlin has probably more specials than Louie and bill Burr combined and then some, so In the time that it took you to watch one if Louie's specials three times you could have watched 3 different George carlin masterpieces instead

Every comedian has a different style. Carlin's style in his later years was grumpy cynical angry disgruntled old man and he fucking nailed it perfectly. He made TONS of very pertinent and acute observations about the state of affairs. I can only imagine the shit he would be saying if he was still alive.
And since when are comedians about offering solutions? Comedians are about fucking laughing, or in many cases highlighting and bringing to light social/political issues that most people don't dare touch with a ten foot pole, which Carlin did. That takes fucking balls. And he did it with precision. And he did in fact offer solutions in many cases.
If you don't like him don't listen to him. If you want to talk shit about shitty comedians, talk about fucking Carlos Mencia or Dane Cook the fake unoriginal joke thieves or any of the other piece of shit hackjobs out there.

I already have a notebook I walk around with incase I think of a joke I've probably written around a few hundred jokes so far but the closest I've got to performing them was slipping them into a conversation if it fit the subject we were talking about, which is so awesome when you get a really good laugh even from that.
At some point I'm definitely going to start doing open mics, I just have to get over the fact that I'm most likely going to bomb a lot at first, I've got people to laugh using some of the stuff I've written, but it's a whole different ball game when it goes from a two way conversation to a one way conversation, I'll need to build up my segue's, the actual set up for the jokes and what kind of stage persona I'd go for, which would most likely just be my normal personality, people have always told me I'm a funny story teller, if I can find away to be myself and add in punchlines I could probably do it.
If I could get even a solid 10 minute set, I'd be happy, I love making people laugh. If I felt I had any talent after actually trying, I'd probably quit my job on the spot and start traveling the road doing sets, even if I don't become the next Carlin, stand up has been a huge factor in my life and I'd be satisfied getting to see the country and making people laugh along the way.
Soon enough I'm going to be attending comedy clubs a few times a week, so I can try to become really familiar with the way people open and the general atmosphere of the places so I can finally attempt to do it.

You have the right to bitch only if you have a solution to offer. Otherwise you're wasting my time
Every comedian has a different style. Carlin's style in his later years was grumpy cynical angry disgruntled old man and he fucking nailed it perfectly. He made TONS of very pertinent and acute observations about the state of affairs. I can only imagine the shit he would be saying if he was still alive.
And since when are comedians about offering solutions? Comedians are about fucking laughing, or in many cases highlighting and bringing to light social/political issues that most people don't dare touch with a ten foot pole, which Carlin did. That takes fucking balls. And he did it with precision. And he did in fact offer solutions in many cases.
If you don't like him don't listen to him. If you want to talk shit about shitty comedians, talk about fucking Carlos Mencia or Dane Cook the fake unoriginal joke thieves or any of the other piece of shit hackjobs out there.
I never said I hated him or that he wasn't funny. His shit just gets old fast. 75% of what he says isn't meant to you you laugh, its just to remind you how shitty people are...

That's it man. Dont worry about that bombing thing, it's gonna happen. Add to that what went really well one night, the next night didnt go over so smoothly for these guys I saw. Theres a lot of "feeling the atmosphere" to it, it would seem.
My bets are if you spend a good bit of time in one room, and then go up it'll cancel out the jitters better than if its your first time being there. They tend to keep the room blacked out where I was so you could only really see the first few rows of tables.
Some places you can get a video of yourself so if you go for it post that shit.

Good comedy isn't about cheap laughs. It's about finding a way to laugh at the really bad stuff so you can continue to think about it without blowing your brains out. Meaningful comedy mixes the good with the bad and get's the two so clearly confused that you feel a need to sort it out for yourself. That's what Carlin was about. That 75% is stuff that you can think about in a new light after you've heard the 25% that nails it. If you don't have the patience to listen to a good setup or think about the joke afterwards, then you should stick with the guys who can tell fart jokes that make you laugh after hearing them for the third time. Don't hate on Carlin just because you have a lazy sense of humor. That's on you.

Carlin is good. He liked word play and verbal pacing a lot.
Someone who never clicks with me is Bill Hicks. Nearly all of his "jokes" miss on me, I don't get why folks go so nuts over his standups.

yea he just talked a lot of shit about how people run the world.
but he talked about the things that meant something to him.
perhaps he was trying to be a social activist of sorts.
i like doug stanhope's style better. more tongue-in-cheek

Even if you don't agree with his point of view, the way Carlin can do a bit is uncanny. The length, the timing, the content.. that's what is going to solidify him as a great. To this day I've yet to see another person put so many perfectly placed words in a bit. .
