George Carlin. I can't believe I've gone this long without listening to his material. Then again, I'm only 18. "Jammin' In New York" is great, funny, hilarious. I especially love his take on flying ("`Put the mask over your face and breath deeply'. Sure, I have no problem with that. I always breathe normally when I'm in a six-hundred mile an hour uncontrolled vertical dive") and experiences that bring us together ("You ever been talking to yourself and someone comes into the room and you have to make believe you were singing?"). It's coarse and it's fun.

Whether you see his performances on tape or DVD or if you listen to his material on CD, George Carlin is always on top of his game. He talks about whatever he wants without any fear, and he doesn't care who he offends. (In fact, if you ever told him that you were offended by his stuff, it'd only encourage him!) George Carlin's "Jammin' in New York" is a hilarious album that always keeps you on your toes.

I was never really into to stand up comedy until I was introduced to George Carlin. I have heard a lot of his stuff, but Jammin' in New York is, by far, the greatest and most well thought out poece of his work yet to date. It is one of the funniest HBO performances that he has ever done.

...you have to remember that. Evangelists tend to be voices of religions where it is expected to take every word of Scripture as the literal word of the Almighty. And when they preach, you're supposed to believe it all. I don't care what your attitudes and worldviews are--listen to just one Carlin disc and you are more than once going to hear somthing you strongly disagree with. That's because he's a humorist--part comedian and part philosopher--never completely one or the other. Carlin tends to knock government and the Church. Well, it's fashionable to strongly distrust government nowadays. And church congregations are shrinking and it's getting tougher every day to find "people of God". I could care less how trendy it is to use "government" ... Read More:

This is good for a laugh. George Carlin is extremely funny in most of his word, but "Jammin' in New York" I number among the best. This is good fun for everyone. (But it is explicit and would advise against parents letting their younger children listen to it)... But if you want the opinionated, harsh, comedy for yourself, I don't blame you... it's funny as hell. :)
