The Top 20 George Carlin Moments
If not the best, he is probably one of the all-time funniest comedians to grace a stage.
Before we get to his Top 20 standup routines, here are some of his best observations:
- There’s no present. There’s only the immediate future and the recent past.
- Think of how stupid the average person is and realize half of them are stupider than that.
- When someone asks you, a penny for your thoughts and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?
- When someone is impatient and says, “I haven’t got all day,” I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day?
- What if there were no hypothetical questions?
- Why is the man (or woman) who invests all your money called a broker?
- Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
- Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.
- Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?
- Women like silent men; they think they’re listening.
- ‘I am’ is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that “I do” is the longest sentence?
- Men are from Earth, and women are from Earth. Deal with it.
- If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?
- Honesty may be the best policy, but it’s important to remember that, apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second best policy.
- I think it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.
