RIP... george you were a very funny man...Toledo window box...

He was was 71. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25322638
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
R.I.P. George. I saw him earlier this yr for the first time. He was hilarious, but he wasn't movin around that good at all. A true comedy legend.
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
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.
One of (if not THE) greatest comedians of ALL TIME.....my grandmother spoke of his jokes in my teens, and now i will continue to tell his jokes, and listen to his shows throughout the rest of my life....he was an amazing comedian, i wish him well in the next life, may god rest his sole!!!!! RIP Carlin You funny mother ****** !!!!!!
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.
Where you gonna put all that stuff? Ever notice how your **** is stuff, and other people's stuff is ****?
A pioneer in the field of comedy Carlin was. He paved the way for others to use 'dirty words' and will be sadly missed.
Y'see now you're showing your age (or I'm showing mine), but that distinction goes to Lenny Bruce. Be that as it may, Carlin picked up where Bruce left off with his "Seven Words You Can Never Say On TV" routine. Nonetheless, he'll be missed.
Same here...celebrity deaths rarely have an impact on me. George shaped my sense of humor as I was growing up. One of the few I actually squeezed a tear out for.
though he was known for the "Dirty Words" or seven words you can't say on TV, he was actually a very cerebral comedian. a lot of thought went into his routines. he also made you think about what was happening in life. on all levels. he will be missed. a sad day.
Brilliant comedian. Absolutely brilliant. I am very saddened by this as he was a favorite of mine. I own many of his albums and enjoyed everything from guest spots in movies to his short lived comedy on Fox as a taxi driver. RIP George. Kill em dead in the afterlife.
Read this news this morning...his perverse irony fueled and inspired generations of comics. He will be missed.
It has been a tough month. George Carlin is an original.....many have "tried" emulate him and they have all failed. Another "one of a kind" celeb goes. just sad.
i have all his albums, books and dvds. he was one of my idols. he will be greatly missed. and yet, Tim Russert's death was way more important to warrant 24 hour coverage for 4 days. Barely a mention of Carlin's death.
Id say Maher is the only one who comes close, but Carlin was so beyond any comedian's abilities, he almost invented his style of comedy.
