This guy doesn't quite get life, but his logical mind makes some great observations about inconsistencies and things most of us have not noticed. What an imagination. I saw Carlin in Minneapolis in 1987. The experience was worth the money. There is no one like Carlin.

In this album, you will find that George talks a lot about naughty stuff, and probably some you might not even "get". George grew up in New York if it means anything to you. Preferably, my favorite material on here is where he acts like a guy in a confessional with Father Rivera, and "Sharing A Swallow". You probably won't find this in stores because of how old it is, but if you ARE lucky enough to find it, or get it from Amazon.com, you will be glad you did, C-3PO!

Rating: - A Carlin Classic
Anyone who remembers childhood with reasonable clarity (there are a few of us) remembers this: they taught you stuff in school, but you didn't always learn anything...especially if you had guys like George Carlin in your class.

Caveat Number One: this is not the modern Carlin I'm talking about, the crotchety curmudgeon who is still very funny, but relies overmuch on four-letter words, cynicism, and pessimism. This is Carlin at the peak of his transformation from family-friendly Ed Sullivan entertainer to counterculture comic genius. ... Read More

This album has bits that will have you laughing so hard you'll bust a gut. It's classic Carlin with his classic routines such as Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television and I Used to be Irish Cathholic. A good thing about Carlin is he did some research for his bits on this album.

Class Clown is the album that turned George Carlin from a B-level sitcom actor into a stand-up legend. Mr. Carlin had originally done stand-up as part of a comedy duo, but moved into acting. He landed roles in TV shows like That Girl, but the stand-up arena was his true calling. Class Clown was cutting edge at the time mixing politics, religion, drugs and all the social issues of the late 60's, early 70's into a big pot. The album is most famous for the "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television" bit. That broke alot of ground with its vulgarity, the same type of routine that got Lenny Bruce throw in jail. "Seven Words" is funny, but equally as funny are bits like "Class Clown", "I Used To Be ... Read More
