Start with anything, everything is worth watching, and while on it, Bill Hicks =) If you need a list of 'Greatest Hits' inbox me, I'm more than happy to help! Gonna watch Hotel Trans with my kid (again, Solar, again!), but if you want to catch up later on here, I'll be around. xxx

I found one on solar that I think would be a good start for you ... George Carlin: Playin' With Your Head

Plus...PLUS, that first season of SNL is SOOOO worth checking out. Classics! Carlin's humor, while making you laugh, is not much more than brutally blunt truths and observations, without gimmicks, sight gags, or props. It's hard to put into a definition, per se, but it's more than just opinions from personal perspective. When he says something, it's fact, and he says it in a way that makes you either realize something that you already knew deep inside, or realize that it's something that you should have already known.

@MsPotato...well, he's a li'l more brutal in this one than "the hippy dippy weatherman"...the set for the whole show is a graveyard (hahaha)...probably like Darthintrepid says...if you start with this one, balance it out with some of his older work.

@MsPotato
Try to start small, perhaps his first appearance on SNL (season 1, episode 1).

For someone new to George Carlin, would you recommend starting with this one? Or another of his stand-up shows?
reply
dishearteningly hilarious... distressingly side-splitting... dismally mirthful... have mixed emotions about it.

Carlin is the man. He is absolute proof that the truth is comedic, no matter how hurtful it is. More people should watch his stand up routines, for they are heavily weighted with common sense and logic. I'm still looking for blue food, after all these years.

Incredibly mean-spirited, but d@mn truthful ... George Carlin is a vacuum of wisdom that you can't help but be sucked into ... This Comedy is hands down George Carlin's darkest and most cynical stand up, but also it's his most poignant work. For those of you that think that George Carlin is nothing more then the 7 dirty words and fart jokes, this is not for you ... But for those of you that view him as a social commentator and philosopher with only the truth by his side, this will please you greatly...
