Any inappropriate words you haven't learned on your own at your ripe old age of 16, you will learn from George. I encourage you (because I'm not your parents) to listen to him. He's incredible and will be missed.

Loved him. Just a brilliant comedian. If he was wrong about God I hope him and the big guy are having a nice laugh about it all right now. RIP

It's a shame it will take his death to expose his humor to a totally new generation that did not know who he was, the absolute greatest!!!! RIP

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

first time i saw him was on a game show back in 1969, called "hows your mother-in-law". they asked the son-in-law about the problems you had with your mother-in-law, there were three contestants and each mother had a comedian represent them as a lawyer. it was a pretty good show, had "flip wilson" and john byner as the other two lawyers and carlin represented my mother-in-law. mine didn't win, just as well. the winners got dinner for two on the princess cruise ship.

Sadly, just heard this on the news. Too bad, because Carlin was one of the greats. He will be missed.

RIP George, you taught me how to be a pig and swear like a sailor. You made me laugh at humanity and how stupid we really are. You always presented the most scathing shows tearing apart everything, even those 'taboo' subjects. This is a tough one to take, I hope you are at peace.

Just read this first thing this morning. Sorry Mr Carlin, but it caused me to shed a tear- something I think you are looking down on...

In your honor, I am going to go "Buy some stuff"...because we can always use more stuff!.

RIP- One of the greatest ever

What a loss. Carlin was the father of the type of stand up comedy that so many emulated but few were successful at doing.

He will be missed.
