The master himself, quite possibly one of the greatest stand up comics of all time, has died at the age of 71.

Fucking weak. I don't think I've ever laughed harder at stand-up comedy specials than at his. I'm seriously bummed. I could give a fuck when wastes of skin like Anna Nicole or Chris Benoit punch out, but when someone who actually has talent and was a quality entertainer goes, it really sucks. I've been a die-hard George Carlin fan since I was like 13. I have all of his specials on VHS/DVD, and most of his books.

This one's for you, George...

SHIT PISS COCK waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles COCKSUCKER MOTHERFUCKER & TITS.

damn...I had no idea. To an amazing comedian!

I really just can't believe this, and I know it won't sink in for a long time. I wish his family the best and can't really think of anything else to say at this time, just wow.

God dammit...this ruined my day. I love his stuff and always will. True comedic genius. May he rest in peace.

This is a big-time bummer. The world of comedy has lost its very best :-(

My first exposure to some of Carlin's material was back in the late 80s (high school days for me).....Carlin at Carnegie, specifically. Never had I laughed so hard at stand up comedy. On two occasions he was in town to do live performances - both which I attended. Money very well spent in my opinion.

Thank you George for the many laughs.

A true leader of the anti-establishment comedy movement. Seven Dirty Words routine is going down in history.

RIP George Carlin

he'll be like Tupac of comedy, except funny.

RIP.

Fellas-

Just browsing YouTube for George Carlin stuff. Type in his name with the phrase "It's Bad For Ya". This was his last recorded performance for HBO on March 1, 2008 in Santa Rosa, CA. Below is the link to part 1 of 7. Just follow the rest as it goes.
