if you were to ask any of those comedians you listed who inspired them to get into standup, they'd all probably mention George Carlin as being one of their biggest inspirations.. look up some of his other stuff- especially his bits about "stuff" and the "7 words you can't say on tv"..

If you have a sick sense of humor, this man should do it for you...

Great bit.

I've seen some pretty funny George Carlin bits, but that one was kind of boring... probably because I'm not a fan of any ball & stick sports.

I would say the bit in the OP was less about sports and more about our culture.

Carlin was my favorite. His religious rants were great!

Not a big Carlin fan, but that was the cleanest 5 minutes I have ever seen by him. That was pretty funny and very insightful too. I had never put that much thought into the stark differences between the terminology involved with the two sports.

Cortez, watch your language. I edited your post.

Johnny,

I removed your response to Cortez. I don't want to lock this thread... let's talk more about Carlin.

Although I loved George, some of his ideals were a little....out there, for what it's worth. I love comedians that make you think after they've made you laugh. Another great one for that was Bill Hicks who was my personal favorite (he is also gone now, RIP).

I am a football junkie. Played football as a kid, high school level. Both my boys play organized tackle football (ESFL). I love it, absolutely love it. College, Pro, I even like going to the High School games.

Baseball is great when you want to take a nap in the Summer. Lie on the couch, turn the baseball game on, and not long after....ZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!

Carlin fans should watch his interview on 'Inside the Actors Studio".. It gives some background.. like the fact the was school in a Catholic Church - but he loved it, and still did at the time of that interview. I got the privilege of seeing him perform live - and let me tell you, he was NOT easy on the crowd, which was great. Something about guys who wear cowboy hats are like children dressing up for Halloween all year long. lol

I like Bill Hicks too... not always funny, but honest.. sometimes brutally.. which, too me, can be considered funny in a certain context.

I've been listening to Joe Rogan alot lately.. he has a similar style and perspective. Good stuff.

joe rogan has some good stuff, and hes a car guy!
