George Carlin - not funny? Go on youtube and search for his clips, particularly ones about religion and the government. He has a great clip on youtube about euphemisms too. His rants are not only very astute and intelligent, but hilarious.

George Carlin has got to be one of my favorite comedians ever. RIP.

Do you feel that we are missing out on something because of this?

I personally found the man to be very insightful and intelligent as well as funny. I was sad to here he had passed away, but I am sure, if there is an afterlife, he will find plenty wrong with it also.

To those individuals that feel he was just “ranting” I have to disagree. He was not just “ranting” about what he felt was wrong with people or society or whatever; he was “ranting” in a way people seem to enjoy and laugh at. I think that’s as good a way as any to get your opinions out there.
