Ha, I love that clip. My favorite part is when he said he hopes the guy's family dies in a car fire.

Carlin is my hero.
 
His insults fucking suck. He sounds JUST like that public access guy, gorgeous george or whateverthefuck his name is.
 
Bah, you two just have no sense of humor. How else should someone handle a heckler? By politely asking them to quiet down?

aka, if you think Carlin is a dumbass, I'd really like to hear who you find intelligent. Shit, his material has been culturally relevant for like fifty years. The shit he did about the FCC in the 70s is still applicable today.

Seriously. In fact off the top of my head I can't think of a traditional stand-up comedian who has a more sharp, intelligent, and relevant reportoire than Carlin did at his peak (although I can think of a few, like Chris Rock, who have material of comparable quality).

I don't find Carlin too funny and I don't care how smart he is either. I've seen a few of his HBO specials and I could not believe people were laughing at the unfunny shit he was saying. Yah, he's intellectual, but I certainly don't understand what's so funny about wishing death by inferno upon someone's child. It's ridiculous, it's not funny, and it's a kill joy. I'm all for putting a heckler in their place, but their has to be more 'intelligent' ways of doing it.

<shrugs>Humor is a subjective thing. Personally, I think wishing death on someone's family is hi-larious.
 
These are insults a 12-year-old would yell at someone. It's not smart, it's not funny (Carlin never is), and why the fuck all those people are cheering is beyond me. Now if he would've said something witty, okay. This, though, is just stupid.
