remember, regardless of how outspoken you are in life, nothing will stop the capitalists from reanimating your defiled corpse into a shitheaded centrist zombie if there’s a buck in it:
“I’d just like to say that as much as I think billionaires are destroying the fabric of society with unchecked greed and blatant self-interest at the expense of basic human rights for everyone else, it is a little strange to me that people get mad at them. People are the ones who gave them the money in the first place," the AI Carlin said.
(editor’s note: the above is supposed to be a joke from the comedy special these fucking assholes hijacked Carlin’s corpse to promote. I can’t find the punchline, but it’s supposed to be a joke)
Yep, Carlin was a comedy God because he was quick, he was sharp, and he was fearless. There wasn’t any topic he wouldn’t touch, but he also wasn’t using shock just to be shocking. Many people have tried to imitate his routines and his style, and now I guess the computers will have a go at it, too.
that was what he was good at, but he was good because he’d spent decades as a comedian going through about four distinct styles. I heartily recommend Carlin’s autobiography.
@dgerard @themeatbridge yeah, early stoner-hippy Class Clown Carlin is *very different* to righteously-furious post-Bill-Hicks Old Carlin
and before that, Actually Family-Friendly TV Comedian George Carlin
@dgerard and then of course you’ve got yer Bill and Ted Carlin
