George Carlin's New Rules For 2007

New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for classmates.com! There's
a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the
football team is doing these days--mowing my lawn.

New Rule: Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window unless you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human finger was
found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost less than a dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Trout?

New Rule: Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description for these kids: Lucky bastards!

New Rule: If you need to shave and you still collect baseball cards, you're a dope. If you're a kid, the cards are keepsakes of your idols. If you're a grown man, they're pictures of men.

New Rule: Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much men are
about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done.

New Rule: There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some Jack Daniels over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water.

New Rule: Stop screwing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label. And the top
is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis.!

New Rule: The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one sweet-n'-Low, and one NutraSweet," oh, you're a huge ass hole.

New Rule: I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount, deciding, no, I don't want cash back, and pressing "Enter" again, the kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy.

New Rule: Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't
make you spiritual. It's right above the crack of your ass. And it translates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You're just high.

New Rule: Competitive eating isn't a sport; it's one of the seven deadly
sins. ESPN recently televised the U.S. Open of Competitive Eating, because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait. They're already
doing that. It's called "The Howard Stern Show."

New Rule: I don't need a bigger mega M&Ms. If I'm extra hungry for M&Ms, I'll go nuts and eat two.

New Rule: If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy, old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.

New Rule: No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting.

New Rule: and this one is long overdue: No more bathroom attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish. I don't want to be on your web cam, dude. I just want to wash my hands.

New Rule: When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to know in months. "27 Months." "He's two," will do just fine. He's not a cheese. And I didn't really care in the first place.

New Rule: If you ever hope to be a credible adult and want a job that pays better than minimum wage, then for God's sake don't pierce or tattoo every available piece of flesh. If so, then plan your future around saying" Do you want fries with that?"

Fun stuff, but New Rules are Maher's (http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/newrules.asp) routine.

Dude, George Carlin > Maher...

I mean, COME ON! It's GEORGE CARLIN! The guy is part of the comedy holy trinity: Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and George Carlin.

Maher might be doing it now, but George Carlin invented the complaint department, he's only been doing it for 40+ years. :)

Maher > Carlin, never cared for Carlin. He personifies what i label New York humor, add Seinfeld in there and you have the most overrated unfunny people ever. Carlins routines are repetative and formulaic. They are the same thing over and over just updated for the current year.

OMG! Carlin? You're kidding me right?

Actually LISTEN to his work sometime, the guy is a genius! Who else in that business could claim to have that type of longevity and still stay current?

I think he's hilarious, partly because he's funny and partly because he's not afraid to go against the grain and make everyone and anyone uncomfortable. :)

I'd have to disagree, Grey. Carlin may have a formula -- that being the deconstruction of language and how various segments of culture use language -- but I find that anything but repetitive.

And now I feel really old, remembering being a kid watching Ed Sullivan with my grandfather and seeing George Carlin in a suit and short hair, and doing the "hippy, dippy, weather guy". "It will be fairly dark in the early morning hours, gradually lightening, becoming bright toward early afternoon, and then slowly dimming to darkness again".

His Class Clown album was an all time classic piece of comedy.

For example, Robin Williams on Broadway, that had me in tears 30min into the 90min show. That guy i find utterly hilarious. Carlin, i chuckle but no good belly laughs, his funniest moment IMO is him going down on the trucker in Dogma, that shit was funny.

I dunno, i know i am in a vast minority of people who dont care for Carlin and i know that. I am also the only guy who MAYBE has seen 5 episodes of Seinfeld. It's just not funny to me. But hey differences make the world go round.
