George is George..

DVD Review: More Philosophy than Humor
Summary: 4 Stars
Loaded with ideas and insights into the human condition. But this time with a twist of darkness. During this his 13th HBO special George definately makes it known just what an angry person he is. Like Lenny Bruce, George hates the world and everyone in it. He pokes fun at everything from people who commit suicide to how much he enjoys watching natural disasters kill hundreds of thousands of people...and always wishes thing get even worse for them.I dearly loved George and wil definately miss him. He was getting old here and this may have been his last concert. He had gained weight in this performance and he slips up several times. I once heard him say he comes up with all this stuff while taking vicodine and drinking wine and that he was wired during almost every one of his performances. He had kicked the habit here and it shows. Forever a George Carlin Fan!DVD Review: Good Stuff
Summary: 4 Stars
Why do I like it -because Carlin tells it like it is-gives it to us straight-I like because he speaks the truth as sad as it is-but it is very funny -in a sick sort of way-He will be missed!!!DVD Review: All very true, just no humor in it
Summary: 3 Stars
I have loved George Carlin since I was a teenager and although I may have not have agreed with some of his views along the way, or sometimes thought he went a little too far, I could always laugh at his material, even when it may have hit a bit too personal, I could still see the ridiculousness of the situation. That being said, I was deeply disappointed in this show. It was all VERY true, and he hit the nail right on the head with a lot of the problems in this country, it just wasn't funny. As a speech, or a monaloge, it was brilliant. It was very deep, it made you think and made you nod in agreement at times, but it did not make you laugh, the very thing a stand up COMEDY show should do.
George was always controversial, he always stepped on peoples toes and made no apology for it. -And that's what we loved! But he did it with a twist of irony, a chance to see the absurdity in the world around us. This show was NOT George, George would slam us all for our laziness, our consumption, our greed, and in that he'd show us how ridiculous we were. This George was the angry Uncle Dave, spewing his anger from his armchair, one rant after another, no pauses. George would hold up a mirror to our society, and show us how silly we were. The George here was just the angry parent berating us for our stupidity. As a commentary on the world around us, it's amazing. -As a respite and a chance to laugh, it was horrible. Just keep that in mind. If you are looking for serious social commentary, go ahead and buy it. If you're looking for laughs, look to his earlier works.
