"George Carlin was made famous in the 70's for his signature "Seven words you can't say on television" routine. This accumulation includes some of his best stand-up routines and it is an absolute must for a comedy fan alone, provided that "vile" language doesn't bother you. But, if you look beyond the superficialities of word choice, Carlin set the bar for almost every stand-up comedian today. If you watch each routine closely, you will find the roots of major modern comedians' subject material today. From Bill Engvall to a lesser unique Dane Cook. His earlier comedic HBO specials seemed to be centered quite heavily on the English language and then gradually progressed to a more satirical approach. His speeches (or rantings) later in his career almost remind me of other famous public speakers solely by his articulacy. All in all I think it's a fantastic collection for anybody who loves stand-up comedy."
