5.0 out of 5 stars
George for president!,
By Would-RVM245 "would245" (Grafton, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You Are All Diseased (Audio CD)
First of all, I have one thing to say to all the people who have been offended by the material on You are All Diseased: Why are you listening to George Carlin in the first place? George has always TRIED to offend people like you, the typical yuppie American sheep who will believe anything the media, government, and church tell you to. If you don't like what he is saying, then cancel HBO and spend the rest of your time watching the Disney Channel and taking your kids to soccer practice. George has never wanted or needed you to be part of his audience. Carlin has always been a comic for people who like to think outside the box. His entire career is based on counter-culture comedy and that is just what makes him such a genius. Not only is this album side-splittingly funny, but George's ideas are so well thought out that you can't help but at least see his point of view, if not agree with him completely. This album ranks right up there with Jammin' and Back in Town as his best material. A hilarious, bitter old man venting his frustrations about society, just what us "thinking people" need in this culture of malls, political correctness, and soccer moms.

5.0 out of 5 stars
brutally hilarious,
By Mike (Long Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You Are All Diseased (Audio CD)
So, after more than 30 years in comedy, what can you expect from the 60-something Carlin? Let me tell you......Wild outbursts, random perverted thoughts, brutally honest societal comments and observations, hilarious yells and screams, and the funniest (...) jokes you'll hear in any album recorded by any comedian, ever. "You Are All Diseased" takes daring jabs at subjects no one else ever had the [guts] to tackle - children, god, religion, and people in general. The things he says on this recording will do one of two things for you: make you laugh so hard you'll bust a gut or repulse you beyond belief. Heed my warning before buying...if you're easily offended or a conservative, white upper-class Republican, you're probably going to hate this album and despise George Carlin for all eternity. But, if you love a good laugh like I do and aren't afraid to hear some seriously honest and BOLD remarks on everything you can think of, by all means get Carlin's latest. It's a true classic in its own time.

I am now an official Carlin fan,

This review is from: You Are All Diseased (Audio CD)
It's true...it's true. This is actually my first Carlin album that I downloaded and this is awesome. My best friend tried to get me to listen to 'There Is No God' but the Christian I am, I decided not to listen to it because judging by the title, a Christian person would not listen to it. But for some reason I gave it a chance. George may or may not be an Atheist, but the way he tells the story is just plain hilarious. I learned he is one of the most honest comedians out there, and for a guy who's almost 70 he's still got it (even though this was taped 6 yrs ago). I actually saw Cigars and many things in a different way after hearing this. I didn't realize it was not right for whites to sing the blues (with the exception of Eric Clapton, of course). The 'Airport Security' skit is probably the most hilarious but more ironic 9/11 came along. I 'happen to' enjoy this and I am now in the process of hearing some more of Carlin's work.
