Hilarious! He is more normal than most of us!

"'Lifelong fan' obviously does not get Carlin's straightforward 'in your face' humor. Perhaps he should look to tamer comedians for his dose of funny. Sure, the airport security part is a bit dated and insensitive due to 9/11, but keep in mind this was recorded live BEFORE that heinous day. Otherwise, this DVD is downright hilarious! It is classic Carlin, with acerbic jabs at religion, our fear of germs, cigar smokers, businessmen, macho men, and other choice subject areas. His observation on religion alone makes this DVD worth owning. As I tend to agree with George, hearing him expound on his feelings vis a vis this subject area had me laughing hard and nodding my head in agreement. This is probably one of the better Carlin DVD's out now, and a MUST OWN if you are a fan of George."

Fearless, edgy, political, and yes smutty

"The first 15 minutes of this concert, had my jaw on the floor. I couldn't believe what I was watching. Here, Carlin makes it funny to talk about airport security, terrorism, SARS and how afraid we've become as Americans. WOW. And this contemporary concert was held in 1999! His topics are so relevant to today, that it's both disarmingly funny and frightenly prescient. However, no one today would have the fearlessness to *actually* produce something like this post 9//11. It's amazing to me that this is even on DVD. I recommend this concert if you are tired of the namby pamby programming we've been fed by the corporate entities, post 9//11. Not only is this funny, but it is politically cutting-- much more so than Dennis Miller's meandering vocabulary. (Dennis Miller is bound to buy this DVD and owes this master a bow or two.) If you like the fearlessness of "South Park", you should also enjoy "You Are All Diseased". There are some moments in the last 15 minutes where, like every comedian, even Jon Stewart's concerts, Carlin veers into "skanky" sexual jokes that are hit and miss. Overall, however, this is a refreshing anomaly in our oppressively "politically correct" times."

Very Funny

"After viewing George Carlins "Complaints & Grievances" DVD. I bought the "You Are All Diseased" CD. I found it hilarious so I rented the DVD which is funnier. While I prefer C&G I think this is funny as hell. He makes a lot of good points. He's great with both physical and spoken comedy. He makes jokes about everyday things. Wanna laugh? Rent this. If you want to see my thoughts on the chapters click the "See All My reviews" Link. A+

"Simply the same ol George I have always known... edgy, spot on topic & controversial. LOVED the observatons on religion especially NOW! Anyone who does not laugh at this should get your funny bone re-adjusted. (or take the stick out of your rear)"
