@Bill

While Carlin might have become more bitter as he aged, his spite was understandable, given the changes he’d seen promised and shortchanged over the years. Even at his most pissed off, he was still funnier, more insightful, and more entertaining than the fuckups who pass for comedic talent these days. Used to be, a comedian needed something original to say. Now all he needs to do is either be so goofy he’s painful to watch (Will Farrell, Mike Myers) or be so foul-mouthed you think you’ve stumbled onto the sound stage of a hip-hop video.

Other than his part in “The Aristocrats,” Carlin hasn’t been funny in at least 10 years.

i was fortunate to find this quote: ““The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating…

…and you finish off as an orgasm.”

His breakdown of The Aristocrats joke is one of the best.

Favorite Carlin line ever, talking about douchebag guys…paraphrasing of course: “You know what we should do with these types of guys? Hold a big contest…we’ll call it ‘Slug Fest’ — just promise them a small appliance or something that makes a whirring noise — and put them all in a big dirt arena with no water or food, just whiskey and PCP. And then let them scratch and punch and kick and beat the shit out of each other until there’s only one guy left standing. And then we’ll put that guy up on a big pedestal and shoot him in the fucking head.”
