George Carlin died yesterday. :(

This makes me very sad. Carlin was one of my favourite comedians. So, in tribute, here is my favourite skit of his; "Airline Announcements."

For some reason, it's in two parts, and the sound is a bit off, but it was the only one I could find.

I'd like to think that he's travelled to another plane and is out there being excellent to others...



Thanks for all the yuks. He was awesome.

In memory, let's all give him a cheer:

"Ratshit, bat-sit, dirty old twot!
sixty-nines assholes tied in a not!
Yay! Boogershit! Fuck!"

I just heard about this. I'm bummed.

RIP dude.

Very saddened by this news. I would stay up watching his old specials on HBO on demand when I was sixteen or so. (Okay, that makes it sound like I'm old, but still. It was very formulative to what I find funny.)

I actually had the chance to see him perform years ago at Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh and even had a drink with him after the show. Super funny guy who is easily one of the most influential stand up guys ever.

He'll be missed for sure. R.I.P.
