George Carlin: People Who Should Die

With the current "new" crop of brilliant stand-up comedians like Dane Cook and Dave Attell it's easy to forget the masters.

With his cantankerous ramblings and bleeding edge sarcasm, George Carlin has been serving up some of the most brilliant routines for over 40 years. He has shocked Ed Sullivan's audience, headlined The Tonight Show during Carson's reign, and dared to utter the seven words you can never say on television. What would the world of stand-up look like today without his genius to show us the way to political incorrectness? We would probably still be telling knock-knock jokes and watching clowns get hit in the face with pies.

Now grab a beer, sit back and watch a master at work.
