SubscribeGeorge Carlin jokes about death, heaven and hell. Of course, it's hysterical.
Comedian George Carlin, fondly remembered for his many outrageous comedy skits (like those seven words you — still — can't say on TV) and '60s-esque characters, has left the planet.
All too soon.
This guy never lost his '60s edge and continued to talk about politics, social ills and hypocrisy in all areas of life.
Fittingly, here's a clip of him joking about ... death.
Caution: Do NOT watch this video if you are easily offended. The piece contains religious humor and inappropriate language (like a few of those seven words).
For anyone who still chuckles remembering Carlin's classic Hippy Dippy Weatherman, or who has never seen or heard it, follow the preceding link to a YouTube video (that annoyingly couldn't be embedded here) of his stand-up act. Again, caution is urged.
RIP, Al Sleet. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

Very sad news. It's a bad year for celebrities.

George Carlin is the voice in my head at all perfect times- while at the movies, making my kids keep a straight face while we asked for “”3 senior citizen tickets for Batman.” George is a GOD his words will be worshipped for many years. RIP George

we feel like we lost a member of our family. We have embraced Georges philosphy and humor for many years.
He will definitely be missed.
