    George was more than a comedian. He had genius levels of perception and wit. One of a kind.
  • If George were here today he would be having a field day. RIP, George, His comedy was always infused with truth.

    I'm not an American and have had never heard of George Carlin before. I don't know why he pops up today, but I am amazed what a special comedian (understatement) he is. So on point today!!! I salute you, you have spoken some true words ❤

    What brilliance, no teleprompter, just flowed with coherence and insight, exposing what we normally have become numbed and dumbed down to, it's a revolutionary insight that genuinely makes him rare and brilliant.. BRAVO to your life George Carlin BRAVO.

    Every one applauding und laughing, agrees with him and understands the truth in his words. Every one else is just stung by his words ❤
  • He had a way of being funny and very honest at the same time. Never be another like him.

    This man could wield the English language like a weapon. The world can truly benefit from the mind of George Carlin
