Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture figure famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure near Los Angeles Sunday, Reuters reported. He was was 71.
Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.
Carlin became an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine about seven dirty words you could not say on television. A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of his "Filthy Words" routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court.

I was saying how Dane Cook isn't very interesting and Carlin is in a league of his own.
@3:00 he goes on fatbodies. Carlin is 60+ here, completely going off on people...bwahah ;D

This is a tragedy and a loss of one of the greatest comedians of all time. I met him twice in vegas and he was truly a character. Very interesting to talk to and always a fun character.
He will be missed.

My bad, I misunderstood you. I thought you meant Cook was better.

Always said it like it is- didnt sugarcoat it. He was arrested numerous times back in the day for performing his act.
He even posted his arrest records on his site.
When I first met him I joked that I can now download his albums off the net and he'd get nothing and he looked me right in the eye and came right back with "Hey, I support that".
Always a class act.

Yeah. I'd have to smack myself for thinking that..haha

The man was a fucking legend. I'm really going to miss his comedy...
-
Just read it on at www.LATimes.com very sad.
The one who would speak the "7 Dirty Words" ;D
George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words
The big seven words you weren't allowed to broadcast were: Shit, Piss, Fuck, kunt, kocksucker, mutherfucker and Tits.

Classic carlin
I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
If you spin an oriental man in a circle three times, does he become disoriented?
and my personal favorite -
When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!

HOW the fuck can you even put George Carlin and that abomination Dane Cook in one sentence, Carlin was a Preacher, he talked about
things that had a value and made you think, Dane Cook is just funny.
Not the same thing, people and comedians like George Carlin are dying out... litteraly.
Btw: Guess Carlin just found out for himself if there is a God or not :) I bet you when it happend he was all, this is painful this is painful... ahhh now I'm interested. :)
He will be alright, I hope God has a humor :) ... and taste.

It's insane to even compare the two, it's like comparing Bill Hicks with Dennis Leary

Great to see so many people who appreciate his work. Both G.Carlin and Chris Rock are my personal favorites.
I had a chance to meet him in Boston when he came over for a book signing (napalm and Putty). Pretty friendly guy.
Signed my book in the true Carlin fashion -
Fuck you (name)- Best, G Carlin.
I used to look forward to his upcoming HBO specials. Got 'em all on VHS/DVD.
I guess everything good eventually comes to an end.
RIP

At last my plans for world domination through religious brainwashing and rabid consumerism can bear their unholy fruit.

George Carlin was probably top 3 comedians of all time. ..he lived 20 years longer than he had anticipated.
RIP

I'm a Christian and disagree with what he had to say about God and faith, but he made many great points and brought me many laughs otherwise. R.I.P. :(
