The George Carlin Top 33
WARNING: This following countdown contains strong language. Reader / viewer / listener discretion is advised.
Ah George Carlin. Possibly the all-time greatest stand-up comedian in American history, only to be rivaled by Richard Pryor. He was a comedic genius, with a career that began in the '60s but really got started in the '70s, and lasted all the way until he died in 2008. He had a bunch of amazing material by the time he'd passed, and almost all of it is great. But where do you start with his career? Right here. These are the 33 Greatest George Carlin Bits Ever. They showcase George's talent for making us laugh and his genius for thinking outside the box, breaking down barriers, and questioning EVERYTHING. It's the ultimate list of the ultimate comedian.
Let's start off with George discussing the problems of the Persian Gulf War, and how it was all down to 'manhood problems'.
#33: Rockets and Penises in the Persian Gulf

Carlin didn't have pet peeves, but he'll tell you that himself. This bit basically put what most people think about airport security into words, and damn was he on point.

The opener of Carlin's Playing With Your Head album / special, this is a double-shot - first George tackles all the ways of greetings and departures, and then dives in and discussing the perils of giving people other people's love.

A fussy eater is just another phrase for pain in the ass. But George Carlin was no pain in the ass. Rather, he was a hilarious comedian - yet nonetheless, he was a fussy eater.

We all do it. Every now and then, we misplace something. Carlin was quit to pick up on this, and thus helped us understand one more little thing we share.

We say them all the time, but how many of them actually make sense? Carlin runs us through some popular saying that are, in fact, complete bullsh*t.

The second part of cars and driving, this one has a few same parts, but most of it is different, and slightly better than the first one. That's right, Carlin improved upon himself.

The great thing about Carlin is, even if you have different viewpoints on a certain subject, you can still understand where he's coming from and get some laughs too. Case in point, I disagree with him here, yet I understand what he's talking about and find this bit hilarious.
