George Carlin - Abortion

 

George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, author and social critic.

Carlin was noted for his black comedy and thoughts on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects. He and his "seven dirty words" comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a 5–4 decision affirmed the government's power to regulate indecent material on the public airwaves. He is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comics; one newspaper called Carlin "the dean of counterculture comedians". In April 2004, he placed second on the Comedy Central list of "Top 10 Comedians of US Audiences".

George Carlin sums up class structure and the purpose media of divisiveness

The ruling class keeps the lower class fighting so the ruling class can keep on ruling and lower classes are too distracted fighting with each other to notice.

As American financier Jay Gould noted, after hiring strikebreakers to bust up a union, "I can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half."

This is taken from Carlin's Jammin in New York.

George Carlin Dubbing Thomas the Tank Engine (18+)

Don't watch this with your kids!
As both a George Carlin and Thomas the tank engine fan, I always found it funny that the comedian known for his black humor and dark social criticisms was asked to narrate the children's television series.
I edited together some of his narrations and his comedy acts to create this interesting piece.
