George Carlin: Issues | Compilation (1988-2008)

Video Description

Legendary comedian George Carlin was at his best taking apart everything from words and phrases to cultural and political institutions, revealing truths, hidden meanings and provoking deeper thought. This compilation of his material on social and political issues from the late 80s to early 2000s resonates today. His most popular issue-related pieces Reagan's Gang and Church People, Dumb Americans, Abortion and You Have No Rights are started off with a new piece to the channel, Rockets and Penises in the Persian Gulf. 0:00 Persian Gulf 07:13 Reagan's Gang and Church People 14:00 Dumb Americans 25:26 Abortion 33:06 You Have No Rights George Carlin described his comedy as focusing on 3 things: love of language and how we use it; the small things, moments we all share as humans; and the big topics of our culture—war, death, children, religion, etc. A social commentator, he challenged conventional wisdom and brought us face-to-face with our ingrained hypocrisies. There was no topic off limits to his keen observation, wordplay, goofy jabs and rants, whether it was drugs, war, politics, the accumulation of stuff or the way in which we use words.
