it would be the other way around, Bill got his shtick from George who in turn borrowed from Lenny BruceKayevcee said:

Oh fuck me, I saw the news, I saw the front page of MSN, and it was only "George Carlin's Legacy" - NO ONE BROUGHT UP HIS DEATH!!! Hey, "legacy" can mean a lot of things >_>
What the fuck though!? I saw him on T.V., and the internet, and the reporters never mentioned anything about him dieing in the first place, I thought it was just some montage or "appreciation" of him cuz it was his birthday or something - hey you can't blame me, George is a big part of U.S. culture.
and now I find out he's dead, seriously, what the hell? When Heath Ledger died it was in headlines everywhere saying "Heath Ledger found Died" - when James Brown dies, "James Brown Passed Away", when Carlin dies, the headlines are extremely vague. I'm not belittling heath or brown but, I would have expected something more informative.
-_- man, the guy was a great comedian, I didn't like it when he got "preachy" and started losing his train of thought, and forgot that he had a routine where he would tell jokes and not try to convert me to atheism, but even in those wild rants there would still be some of the most quotable lines in the history of the english language.
Losing Carlin just doesn't feel right though, he's such an icon, you may not have known the name but you've heard the voice, you recognize the face, and hell, he probably had a huge impact on the way you see the world, ESPECIALLY in the states!
What am I going to do now? Watch Carlos Mencia? ;_;

Goodbye Bishop guy from Dogma. He was a great comedian. But he did die at a ripe age. 71 (I think)
George Carlin? o.0
I haven't heard of him before, I do remember him from Dogma but I didn't know he was famous, and a comedian.

He was big in the States. I mostly rcognise him from movies he has been in.WlknCntrdiction said:
The man was a modern day jester, using humor to tell the truths that people don't want to hear.
He will be missed.

Personally I think the coverage was more appropriate considering his take on death. The riff starts about a minute into the clip.ElArabDeMagnifico said:

Yeah I realized that after my "initial freakout" (which was that post above)00exmachina said:
I wouldn't be surprised if he got his wish or not. "Either side" is understandable lol - I see nothing wrong with any of his choices though >_> it's not like we can't give him some kind of memorial anyway after it anyway. I just hope we don't turn it into some kind of "sideshow attraction" - it's still a funeral, despite how "awesome" it is.TheDon said:
That's why I have such a hard time watching him, not only does he recycle his old stuff but most of it isn't even his...cleverlymadeup said:
Yeah his voice was perfect for many animated shows. I swear he was in a lot of Disney movies too.ZPan114 said:
He was my favourite stand-up comedian.
If you're not familiar with his monologues, look him up on YouTube.

I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Carlin. I did not have the privilege of being of his acquaintance; I was in attendance as a member at a small get-together at an institution that had him as a guest.
I, some nobody little punk kid, barely twenty, told him I thought of him as a modern Mark Twain. I feel the same way today. Rest well, Mr. Carlin.
