Sad news this morning. It’s been reported that legendary comedian and cantankerous badass George Carlin passed away yesterday at the age of 71, according to People:
The stand-up comic and author – best known for his groundbreaking routine “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television” – reportedly died of heart failure at Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica. (Carlin, who was open about his long struggle with drugs and alcohol, had a history of heart problems, including a previous heart attack.)
George Carlin was always awesome to me because he had a hilarious way of seeing through the everyday bullshit. The world just got a whole lot less funny and a little less brutally honest. Rest in Peace, George. You’ll be missed.

Rest in peace first
goodbye George! i’ll miss ya!
Haha.First post. ^_^;
Rest in peace,George.
Glad he’s gone. It’s been sad watching his pathetic downturn the last few years. Hopefully the world will remember his good material and not the pathetic and unfunny crank he became over the last decade or so.
George Carlin, motherfu**ing co**sucker, I salute you.
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits. This sucks.
Rest in peace.
I thought he was already dead. didnt find him funny. but RIP
I miss George Carlin. But couldn’t you find a picture of him with a scantily clad B-actress wearing no underwear?
Wow.. #4′s apparently a little pissed that she’ll never get that extremely rare Honeycomb cereal SNL #1 poster insert autographed now. So sad..
Where the fuck are we going to get our doses of dark cynicism and scathing vitriol now for shit’s sake?!
Fuck rest in Peace. Rest in Party George!!
RIP.
I was beginning to think this wouldn’t have been mentioned unless George was in a fucking bikini.
Without a doubt of of the best. He was one badass motherfucker, some of his material made me laugh so hard people came into the room to find what was wrong.
I truly hope that I keep on kicking when I’m 71 like him.
SHIT, PISS, FUCK, CUNT, COCKSUCKER, MOTHERFUCKER, and TITS. They were great passwords. now I will have to find new ones.
Sorry Dan, they needed to said again.
RIP George. You were a comedy legend.
I LOVE YOU GEORGE. YOU WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED!!!!!!
I enjoyed George’s humor over the years. Hope your journey is a good one; whatever this may be.
This sucks. Goodbye Mr. Conductor!
I heard about this last night and was really sad about it. It was clear that he’d slowed down some in the past few years, but I still figured he’d be kickin’ for awhile longer. It’s a shame that he’s gone. RIP, man.
For the uncouth motherfuckers among you:

verbatim transcript of the filthy words bit.
And, as has already been mentioned:
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.
“Rest in Peace, George. You’ll be missed.”
Way beyond fucking that.
It’s the end of an era.
Think of the tepid, weak bullshit comedy and commentary that’s around now. A septuagenarian had to keep some level of validity. All that’s left now is Will Farrell prancing around in athletic gear and shitty Get Smart remakes (which was scathing commentary and comedy in its own day, can someone make Mel Brooks 35 years old again??).
Fucking start of a new, bleak, shit-encrusted era of frightened comedians thinking controversy is fart-jokes and that cutting-edge is awkwardness after unsuccessful sexual pick-up lines. Assholes. Oh, and George, hope you finally found “peace”, if there is such a fucking thing.
whothefuckcares.com?
Brilliant dude. Rest in peace, Mr. Carlin.
Man, this sucks. I wonder if his soul will be doing his frisbee on the roof religion.
I like that guy.. “when will Jesus bring the pork chops” was a good book
never thought he was that funny. it doesn’t take a lot of talent to use filthy words and be funny. lots of nigger comics do that. regardless, rip george.
Do you suppose that if we were to hang Britney, Paris, Lindsay, and Mr. & Mrs. Douchebag (Spencer and Heidi, in case there was any doubt), that maybe, just maybe, we could get George, Sydney Pollack, Dick Martin, Bo Diddley and Harvey Korman back?
I’d say it’s at least worth a shot – and if it doesn’t work, no real harm’s been done.
Who’s with me?
You will be missed!!!! and Never Forgotten!!!!!
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits.
So, a legendary anti-Catholic bigot dies. He better hope he was right about there being no God…
And here it is..
A Sad Day, The world has lost the best damn Comedian who ever had the balls to say what we all really wanted to hear (whether we knew it or not) Any one with half a brain that thinks for there selvs is morning his loss and as for #4 you cocksucking fagot (and i’m gay so i’m not insulting gays just that guy) your probably a fucking terriost or Jeff Foxworthy you stupid fucking un-american idiot I hope you choke on a dick and die!
RIP George Carlin The world is less funny and alot more borring with out you.
Hmmm…Now we can only pray that Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young arent far behind…then there will be 4 of the most overrated people in the entertainment industry gone and we can move forward.
Regardless, RIP george. You were…kinda funny a few times.
I vote that we rip out Dane Cook’s heart and transplant it into Carlin.
Win-win
How about we just rip dane cooks heart out?…then behead a few muslims, mix it all up and feed the mixture to pigs and dogs.
I love it when a plan comes together!
eh, i’ll miss russert more.
Just incase anyone didn’t know Catholic’s are the fucking stupidest, most ignorant fucking idiots to ever walk the earth. How any one could believe that horse shit dogma is insane, such an obvious attempt for a governmental hierarchy to control the masses though stupid superstitious beliefs is ridiculous. And you call yourself Jesus #25? Just shows what a ignorant hypocritical dumb ass you are don’t be mad because George had a brain and you don’t
same goes for anyone else who has anything bad to say about George
Outside of George W Bush, he was one of the only white guys I ever thought was funny. Now I have to wait for Bush to mispronunciate something to snicker again.
R.I.P. George, your brutally funny and honest jokes will truly be missed in the era of Carlos Mencia and Dane Cook, two loud, obnoxious, joke thieves who think they’re stand up legends.
It’s actually at least two previous heart attacks, at least according to one of my favorites of his routines:
“An update on the comedian health sweepstakes. I currently lead Richard Pryor in heart attacks 2 to 1. But Richard still leads me 1 to nothing in burning yourself up. See, it happened like this. First Richard had a heart attack. Then I had a heart attack. Then Richard burned himself up. And I said, ‘Fuck that. I’m having another heart attack!’”
I’m going to fucking miss him.
glad this douchebag is dead, blaming those poor families that lost their homes in the california fires last year, saying it was their own fault.. hope he rots in hell.
funny seeing someone “try” and rip someone a new one by calling them “fucking stupidest, most ignorant fucking idiots” …all the while having about 8 grammatical errors in their post. So who’s the ” fucking stupidest, most ignorant fucking idiot to ever walk the earth” now?…
Answer:
Besides # 36, Elliot_Spitz_On_Her… for using George Bush as the answer to all his problems in life…and for not remembering Jimmy Carters speeches, Dukakis’s verbal raping of the english language and more currently, Barack Osamas countless verbal blunders.
This site sure does bring out the hypocrites and sad, sad side of America that embarrasses us all…the Left.
WHATEVER DOUCHEBAG.
If the republicans didnt hate gays, i wouldnt have a problem with them.
YEA..I LIKE SUCKING COCK. SO WHAT?…I should be able to do it in my house, my car, my nephews gym class, his daycare etc. Its my business.
Angel, get the fuck up here! NOW! You call that good grammar and paragraph structure? Is that how they teach in non-parochial school? The fucking ruler is too good for you. You are such a complete misinformed, ill read dumbass that you’re getting the yard stick!. Hopefully I can whack some sense into that little bigoted Proddy brain of yours. Pucker up buttercup, here comes the pain!
Aw. That sucks. George Carlin was an amazing entertainer. Funniest. Guy. Ever.
MikeOxbhig: the Left doesn’t embarrass us, it’s the Right! The truly ignorant ones who believe tax cuts are the answer as those tax cuts cut services that people need, leaving people homeless and without healthcare, and then complain that too many poor people and elderly people get welfare and social security, yet as soon as they needed welfare they’d be the first to beg! The one who let Bush lie to us about a war, and use wire taps, and think that Clinton’s blow job deserved impeachment. The ones who think there are still weapons in Iraq (the ones that Rumsfeld armed Saddam with in the ’80s) and that al queda has ties with Iraq because they lap up whatever the government tells them! Ok, Obama was tired and said he’s been to 57 states rather than 47, and Dukakis was stiff and a bad public speaker, but Bush is a man born with a silver spoon, who got into Yale because of the skull and bones society, despite his C’s and D’s at Andover, who got out of the army because of his dad and then didn’t show up for the National Guard (yet Kerry was considered the army coward by the so called “liberal news media”), who couldn’t keep his oil companies afloat, who stole the 2000 election, taking away votes sneakily, from elderly and black voters, with help from Katherine Harris and Jeb. He then let the environment go to waste by hiring former pollutant lobbyists as protectors of the environment, took over 4 days to respond to Katrina, and tried to combat AIDS in Africa without using contraceptives and promoting abstinence. Carter, Obama and Dukakis may have said stupid things, but Conservatives are much more embarrassing, ignorant and detrimental than liberals by far.
i’m sad now. can’t believe he’s gone. :( RIP, george.
#41 – You misunderestimate me. Now I realize how hard it is to put food on your family, and I really think people and fish can peacefully co-exist. Oh yeah, more noo-Q-lur power please…
Seriously, didn’t I already hand you your ass last week? You’re exactly the kind of tampon string George Carlin despised.
Who can possibly fill his shoes?RIP George
I won’t miss him. Only thing I know him from is Jay and Silent Bob strike Back, where he played a homeless man giving head for rides. he ranks up there with lewis black for being one of the most annoying jerks in history.
@47
Right on Spitz! Mike, go molest a choir boy to Toby Keith or something
And now in George’s words…
Human beings will do anything, anything. I am convinced. That’s why when all those beheadings started in Iraq it didn’t bother me. A lot of people here were horrified, “Whaaaa, beheadings!” What, are you fucking surprised? Just one more form of extreme human behaviour. Besides, who cares about some mercenary civilian contractor from Oklahoma who gets his head cut off? Fuck ‘em. Hey Jack, you don’t want to get your head cut off? Stay the fuck in Oklahoma. They aint cuttin’ of heads in Oklahoma, far as I know. But I do know this: you strap on a gun and go struttin’ around some other mens country you better be ready for some action Jack. People are touchy about that sort of thing. And let me ask you this… this is a morale question, not retorical, I am looking for the answer: what is the morale difference between cuttin’ of one guys head, or two, or three, of five or ten – and dropping a big bomb on a hospital and killing a whole bunch of sick kids? Has anybody in authority given you an explanation of the difference? Now, in case you’re wondering why I have a certain interest, or fascination lets call it, with torture and beheadings and all of those things I have mentioned, is because each of these items reminds me in life over and over again what beasts we human beings really are. When you get right down to it human beings are nothing more than ordinary jungle beasts. Savages. No different from the Cro Magnon people who lived twenty five thousand years ago. No different. Our DNA hasn’t changed substantially in a houndred thousand years. We’re still operating out of the lower brain. The reptilian brain.Fight of flight. Kill or be killed. We like to think we’ve evolved and advanced because we can build a computer, fly an airplane, travel underwater, we can write a sonet, paint a painting, compose an opera. But you know something? We’re barely out of the jungle on this planet. Barely out of the fucking jungle. What we are, is semi-civilized beasts, with baseball caps and automatic weapons.
