I loved the man. Period.
I am so sad today, I can’t even tell you.
I plan on a post for him very soon.
Just not today.
I agree, Evyl . . . may he rock on and be excellent.
But hasn’t God already heard all of his jokes?
I don’t like most comedians because I mostly don’t get their humour. But I loved George Carlin the moment I heard his first joke. I remember thinking “finally a guy who is funny without being an insult”. Which is probably what many people felt he was being.
I am not ready for a world without him. No, not ready.
He was a comic that made a person think. But made you feel good about thinking. – Evyl
I was able to see him live back in the late 80s, and he was at the top of his game that night. He belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of stand-up comics, along with Richard Pryor.

Awww… George. You will be missed, but, not forgotten.
He will be missed but he has left a legacy that will live on. – Evyl

And another one bites the dust. Fucking funny ’til the end.
And I bet that is just how he would have wanted it. – Evyl

I memorized the “seven words” when I was like 12.
He was amazing in his day. The first wordsmith comic, and never has there been a better example of one.
There will never be another one better at his craft. – Evyl

He was brilliant!
I am sad 😦
He will be missed by me and many, many others 😦
At least there is Youtube. And I will keep on watching his vids. His wisdom and humor will last the test of time. – Evyl

I hated reading the news. He was one I don’t think any future comedians can ever be compared too. He will be a legend.
Yes he shall. – Evyl

Now there was a man who had something to say. Loved him! He’s cracking wise with the best of them now.

There is a great deal to be said for a man with something to say and the balls to say them. – Evyl

A-fucking-men. – Evyl

You know how I feel! This is a brilliant post though since it’s so close to home, I loved it when I saw it on HBO and love it still! Thanks
You’re welcome. He will be missed. – Evyl

I have lots of good laughs thanks to Mr. Carlin. Sad to see him go.
It is a sad time for those that enjoy a good laugh. – Evyl

Nothing to say except it makes me sad. He was/is a comedic genius!
He certainly was. – Evyl

a great loss indeed
It is. But life goes on and his comedy will stay with us for a very long time. – Evyl
