With the Montana reference, he's talking about The Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. He sent/planted, though the US Mail Service primarily, a total of 16 homemade bombs from '78 to '95
Growing up in Montana from '74 to 1999, I can attest to the fact that George was not wrong. It was and still us a haven for anti-government militia groups, as well as being the home of the Unabomber for years.
George was one of a kind.
George Carlin did not wing anything on stage. In fact, he said he’s extremely bad at improv. Also, he is known for very meticulously riding out his scripts for his stand-up shows. He’d right the material down to the minute.
Had the pleasure of seeing Carlins stand up in Vegas back in the eighties. Fantastic!
The thinking man's humorist.
Carlin was involved in a Supreme Court case regarding the 7 dirty words and won it.
He's the reason other comics can do what they do.
That video 7 dirty words is on YouTube. A lot of it is mild for today's audience but was groundbreaking back then.
This was prior to 9/11, of course, and the pandemic.
Please also do his bits
7 Dirty Words
Flying
Similarities
Every day expressions
Soft Language
The Death Penalty
My favorite comedian.
Awww batshit. 😂😂😂
R.I.P. George
Airplane security has stopped zero bombs. Every bomb trying to get on a plane, made it on the plane. Illusion. Also, George tells a story where he swam in the east river as a kid and was tempered in shit, and because of that never gets sick. I swam in lake Ontario all the time right next to a water treatment plant that dumped crap into the lake all day and now I never get sick. Correlation evidence, I know. But still. Also, watch his bit on religion. Just look up George Carlin, religion. Lotta' truths in that one.
Comedians are supposed to say outrageous things. Especially when They’re the only segment in western society that can. The audience has to mentally unsalad the lettuce in order to understand his point.
Telling it like it is. Refreshing. You can't do that anymore bc people need "safe spaces" so they don't get offended. That's why comedians won't go to universities anymore. It's pathetic. Bring on the filterless comedians who won't apologize! And watch 7 words. That 70s Show did an episode about it. Was hysterical.
Carlin is an idiot. He is no doubt burning in hell for his comments on Christianity and mocking God
George was way ahead of his time
George Carlin was the Messiah of Critical Thinking. He would tell me to go F myself most likely for my previous sentence, but I love him just the same. Thank you George! Your comedy is just as relevant, if not more, today….
George tells it like it is. Doesn't beat around the bush. Funny funny guy.
Great reaction and enjoyed laughing myself. Thanks!
Sending you love from Texas!!
That was definitely done before 9/11. It was still funny as hell. Do 7 dirty words!
George was a punk before we defined it… genius
He has “the gift of gab” isn’t that an Irish thing? No offense intended ✌🏼
Hahaaa! So many belly laughs in this one 🤣 😆 😅
The thing is, he speaks what everyone's thinking (well maybe not the terrorist entertainment bit * snorts *) and that's why he's great. It's the same reason I like Bill Burr. He's doesn't give a monkey's butt about offending people, he just says it like it is. I'm turning into a bit of an anarchist in my old age 😆
By the by, my child is slowly killing me. He's currently averaging 7 hours of sleep per night, and SUPER bouncing for the remaining 17 hours of the day. He's KILLING me, I tell ya. Good job I loves him, or he'd be in trouble.
"Soft Language" (9m:26s) is good. Carlin's "7 Dirty Words" is famous. Apparently, the comedian Lenny Bruce got arrested in 1962 for his 'nine words' Carlin was at the show, and was arrested with him for refusing to show ID.
I didn't know the history of "7 Dirty Words" (I'm a Brit) so I've read a bit. There's a summary of stuff I read below.
Best Wishes, Chaps. ☮
PS – If I'm incorrect, please tell me.
New York radio station WBAI played Carlin's "7 Dirty Words" from his album "Class Clown" about 2pm. John Douglas was driving with his 15yo son, and complained to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that it was inappropriate for that time of day.
The FCC _' … issued a declaratory order upholding the complaint." It didn't sanction WBAI, but warned the incident might be taken into account.if there were subsequent complaints.
Pacifica Foundation, who owned WBAI, took the case to the D.C. AppeaL Court ①. The FCC's decision was overturned (2 judges to 1) on the basis the FCC's definition of 'indecency' was too vague.
The FCC took the case to the Supreme Court. However, before SCOTUS ruled, "The United States Department of Justice intervened in the case, supporting Pacifica's argument that the FCC's declaratory ruling violated the First Amendment and Fifth Amendment …". Again on the basis FCC's definition of 'indecency' was too vague.
"In 1978, the Supreme Court, in a 5–4 decision, ruled that the FCC's declaratory ruling did not violate either the First or Fifth Amendments, …"
The FCC 'won'.
However "… [the Supreme Court] limited the scope of its decision to the specific broadcast [by WBAI] that caused the declaratory ruling and declined to consider whether the FCC's definition of indecency would survive a First Amendment challenge if applied to the broadcast of other material containing the same or similar words…"
"This decision formally established indecency regulation in American broadcasting."
_"In follow-up rulings, the Supreme Court established the "safe harbor" provision that grants broadcasters the right to broadcast indecent (but not obscene) material between the hours of 10 pm and 6 am, when it is presumed few children would be watching._"

Constitution Center's web site has an article called "Looking back: George Carlin and the Supreme Court" published July 3, 2022. It says it was "New York radio station owned by the Pacifica Foundation"
Wikipedia (Seven dirty words) says the station was WBAI: "WBAI (99.5 FM) is a non-commercial, listener-supported radio station licensed to New York, New York. Its programming is a mixture of political news, talk and opinion from a left-leaning, liberal or progressive viewpoint, and eclectic music."
The Atlantic "The '7 Dirty Words' Turn 40, but They're Still Dirty", May 24, 2012.
① The Appeal court was the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (DC) Circuit. Wikipedia says "The D.C. Circuit's status among American federal courts is second only to the U.S. Supreme Court due to its geographic jurisdiction, which contains the U.S. Capitol and the headquarters of many of the U.S. federal government's executive departments and government agencies. As a result, it is the main federal appellate court for many issues of American administrative law and constitutional law."
He might be going off the deep end a little bit
