George Carlin - All My Stuff + Extras Only
Comedy Reviews - CD. Alvin and the Chipmunks - Undeniable Funny Song CD: I doubt these are the original Alvin and the Chipmunks but they do great funny songs.
by Kathy Shaidle December 31, 2011 - 1:13 am Yeah, I’m a heretic. I also fell asleep during Star Wars. Bruce Springsteen? Pompous blowhard. The Godfather? Long stretches of beige nothingness. And The Who are better than The Beatles. (Hell, I prefer The Monkees to The Beatles …) But here’s the first “pop culture” contrarianism I’m a teensy bit afraid to confess in public: George Carlin never made me laugh. I started thinking about overrated liberal comedians this week, when news broke that a fawning, big budget Smothers Brothers biopic is in development. Great: we’re now facing months of witless hagiography about these two “daring, transgressive, brave” performers, and the rest of the progressive comedy pantheon of heroic martyrs. Who weren’t funny. OK, so you think they’re funny. Maybe you’ll be driven to call me lots of mostly unimaginative names in the comments below. But the people I’m about to discuss rarely, if ever, made me laugh. Personally. That’s my definition of “funny. ” Your mileage will vary. Yes, of course. Couldn’t agree more. EXCEPT . . . The Godfather is the greatest movie ever — no. 1 in my book. “check out Oct. 30, 1972 ″ Ford Auditorium in MoTown. I’m listening right now. Thanks for the recommendation ! Here’s one back at you. Hollywood Palladium 08/06/1971. You won’t regret it. If you love Lucy, then you should check out the comedy of the real Queen of Comedy of the 1950s: Joan Davis. “I Married Joan” was a terrific comedy show, an attempt by NBC to copy the success of “Lucy”–but it never had the ratings that “Lucy” did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvHjhbba8Z8 Tommy Smothers is a self-righteous jackass. You must read this about his run-in with Bill Cosby. “The Case of Bill Cosby vs. Tommy Smothers’ Head” http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/11/the_case_of_bil.html “Lawrence Welk, who was a true musical genius. ” Here’s my idea of hell: I’m in a room with Lawrence Welk, an accordian, and a Colt .45…and, I suddenly realize I can’t kill myself, ’cause I’m already dead.

LOUIS CKHere’s the problem: we don’t get FX here in Canada, and your Comedy Central is a bit different than ours.So my first impression of Louis CK was, unfortunately, his drunk tweets about Sarah Palin and Trig.Which weren’t funny.When Sarah Silverman says, “When I say ‘gay,’ I just mean it like ‘retarded,’” I laugh (and steal the line). Frank J mocked George W. Bush for eight years, and did it so brilliantly that some readers didn’t realize Frank J voted for the guy, twice.But those drunk tweets of Louis CK were just turds.Maybe I’m just being a contrarian (see above) in the face of desperate non-stop hipster boosterism -- Louis CK has quickly become the Kevin Smith of non-obese beta males -- or maybe I stubbornly can’t shake that first impression.Look, I feel stupid even saying this: Louis CK’s effortlessly natural delivery really is a joy to behold. He has a laudable work ethic. He’s clearly highly intelligent. He employs people I like.I got off seeing him making $200,000 in four days $750,000 last week $1-milli

Carlin did comment on using the word N***er. It was one of the funniest things I ever saw. He did it during a show in Berkley. (Which was taped for HBO).
