Aw, gee, George!

That's at least as significant as his distaste for pipe smokers. The man was obviously a commie.

Nope!

Probably in the minority here but I never really was into Carlin certainly not a dimwit but maybe a midwit at best.
I'll never understand the appeal we all got our opinions but when it comes to comedy I like to laugh so I'll go with Norm Macdonald and if I want to laugh while being philosophized at I'll go with Diogenes. YMMV

Norm was simply a marvel. The comedians comedian with a lightening fast mind and the ability to leave other in awe while he played the fool. I'd call him one of the GOATs of comedy. Sigh. A great loss to the world of comedy.

Carlin is a bit overrated in my opinion. Sure he had some decent stuff but he was really just a pissed off old man with a microphone, what’s so exciting about that? He definitely inspired some of my favorite comedians but I never got what was so great about him. I deal with those negative thoughts in my head day in and day out, the last thing I need to do is hear more of that shite. The man who did it right was Bill Hicks.

This is what is great about comedy. The ability to pick on everyone and make most if not all laugh takes a special talent.
