If they arenвЂ™t words to live by, I donвЂ™t know what are. вЂњI never fucked a ten, but one night, I fucked five twos.вЂќ Because deep down everyone loves to hear an old man saying dirty things. She said, вЂњYou show me a tropical fruit and IвЂ™ll show you a cocksucker from Guatemala.вЂќДЄs Carlin grew older and continued to perform well into his later years these sorts of alternative lines became even funnier. вЂњReminds me of something my third-grade teacher said to us. Most of this stuff was off beat and riddled with profanity but it also just made you flat out wet yourself laughing. While what he said was often controversial and a lot of the time political, Carlin would also just say outlandish things. вЂњI think itвЂ™s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.вЂќД¬arlin also had another string to his comic bow. Why? How? What? Carlin made people look at the world in a different way and if thatвЂ™s not a good use of a clever mind and a quick wit, what is? He specialised in making you laugh and then raise questions. Carlin was funny in the early to mid 60's, (but his material was very clean and a little hacky by today's standards), then he spent a decade reinventing himself and had a peak from 72-82, (from Class Clown to his Carnegie Hall special), then he fell way way off and his specials were just ranty and not too funny for the next 25 years, all the way until his last special 'it's bad for ya' which. His punch-lines, wrapped up in bitter cynicism, made you think.

Behind the delivery was that spark that ignited a fire in his audiencesвЂ™ brains.

But there was more to him than a bad attitude and a gruff voice. They say every great comedian has a comedy persona, to some CarlinвЂ™s up in three words is easy. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesnвЂ™t want you to do. вЂњReligion has convinced people that thereвЂ™s an invisible manвЂ¦living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. The American Government, really wasnвЂ™t safe and Religion was a constant target for CarlinвЂ™s comedic rants. He never shied away from a controversial topic and was happy to take on all comers. Carlin was an expert at making you think while you wiped tears from your eyes. ThatвЂ™s the thing about good comedy it doesnвЂ™t just make you laugh, it makes you think. I was 19 years old, sat watching videos on my laptop in student digs and I decide I wanted to change my life.

Not only did I find what Carlin was saying funny I found that it stirred something up inside me. I stumbled on George Carlin in my late teens after clicking the wrong link on YouTube, and within minutes of watching IвЂ™m a Modern Man I knew his comedy was for me. You canвЂ™t dumb me down because IвЂ™m tireless and IвЂ™m wireless, IвЂ™m an alpha male on beta-blockers.вЂќ вЂњIвЂ™ve got a personal trainer, a personal shopper, a personal assistant and a personal agenda.
