    I was never big on George Carlin the comedian. He was pretty average at being funny in my opinion. George Carlin the philosopher is pretty fucking great.

      I kind of agree with his, with the caveat that his language-oriented bits could be extremely funny. My favorite is Airline Announcements.

      He was the epitome of the phrase “you can say anything as long as you make 'em laugh.” What he liked to talk about most was sacrilegious and not inherently funny. So for that, average is pretty good.
