“It’s called the ‘American Dream’ because you have to be asleep to believe it.”
I still think about this line.

[deniseboldea]

The sad thing is the man has been dead for 12 years and this monologue is more relevant now then it was back then.

[kaecake]

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”

[VAANYA]

This man was a prophet. Everything he said is happening now. Got chills just listening to him. RIP dear sir.

Man if you were alive today and see what was going on George you would have endless material !!!💯 2024 we miss you man, we miss you ❤

[Call_Me_Troy]

One of the most brilliant comedians of all time.

[jerrysamuels]

The best comedians don't tell jokes. They tell the truth in a way that makes you laugh instead of cry.

[WagOfBeed]

This man wasn't a comic....he was a philosopher. One of the greatest public speakers of all time. R.I.P George

[steveadams]

Today's society couldn't handle George. He's right and they know.

[messydessy]

George Carlin you're physically gone, but oh boy you are still here.

[azzurriblue]

"It's called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it." What a line. George's work is timeless and is, unfortunately, ever more relevant these days.

This is one of the best TED talks I've seen

Wow, this speech on Dumb Americans was absolutely George Carlin's finest hour as an intelligent comedian and George Carlin would definitely have a field day with today's America in 2024. I always loved George Carlin. I miss George Carlin dearly, he did a superb job exposing America, and George Carlin along with Richard Pryor were both the most brilliant and greatest American comedians of all time.

[robheggart]

I introduced all of my children years ago to this man. First heard him on album in 78. Rewatched this. Prophet. Definitely.

[SWAnnotInterview]

George Carlin didn't die, he just left before shit got worse

[christopherlitzner]

19 years after doing that performance that still holds true even more now in 2024 than in 2005

[flightmaster]

Even years after his passing, George Carlin is still relevant. His style was something else and his shows were just great. RIP George Carlin, you have the best legacy!

Nothing but respect for this man for being truthful in a world that loves lies.
