A ferocious, rapid-fire rant on "the big, blue, red and white dick that's being jammed up the asshole of the American citizen everyday".

The set is a pessimistic comedy with a positive spin. Starts out funny, then starts to hit home quickly (with the subject matter of suicide, which is a legit target for comedy), and some bits are funny and interesting. Then he talks about the darkness of humanity, and i feel it went less into comedy and more just talking about that. Becomes funny again later, and then he becomes conspiratorial. I think he's mostly wrong but has some good points. Later more comedy interspersed in dark topics.

Seen: 2. Carlin somehow got even grumpier with age, and his material got even more cynical. Some of the vulgarity was a bridge too far, but the detailed nihilistic disdain for humanity has never been sharper from any comedian. This is required viewing.

A terrific set from Carlin starting with an extraordinarily breathless opening monologue; scathing and snarky, but full of genuine wit, warmth and compassion, this is of course filmically bound by its limitations as a TV special, but the content here as an existential wail against American politics and culture circa 2005 travels flawlessly to relevance in 2020.

You simply can't go wrong with Carlin. He was a foul mouthed honest to God philosopher.

It had long stretches that I don't even think he intended as humor, but just pure, unbridled rage at an unjust world. I still found his observations on-point as usual, plus that opening monologue just blew me away.

Carlin impresses the hell out of me with his ability to think and verbalize at such a rapid-fire pace without missing a beat. Funny stuff.

This is probably the best we have ever gotten from this guy. Rarely would I describe a comedian as a prophet...

The humor is often too juvenile and tasteless for me. Enough of it, however, is funny enough to make this worthwhile. On top of all that, this is another work of art that has already gotten better with age; the minirants sprinkled in about how stupid people are and how little sympathy he has for J. Random Fuckwit seem all the more apropros now that he's dead. An old man ranting at us from the grave, complete with graveyard. Who *doesn't* want to watch that?

Great observations turned into brilliant comedy. Especially the beginning and the end are outrageous.

Older and less angry but Carlin still has brilliant observations about human behavior.
