Any comedians on par and similar to George Carlin and Bill Hicks?

[Macabre]

I saw Jello Biafra the other day in the union chapel, kind of like Hicks but with nowhere near enough jokes.

I liked his little rant about US schools as indoctrination camps for mindless consumers

 

[nino_savatte]

He loathes the republicans and he thinks the democrats are the lesser of the evils but still cunts.

So do plenty of so-called Libertarians.

 

[nino_savatte]

...and he hates christians, anti-abortionists and red necks.

He also states that the US is full of "dumb motherfuckers".

So do many Libertarians.

Which is why I described him as a libertarian.

There are libertarians and there are Libertarians.

 

[DrRingDing]

There are libertarians and there are Libertarians.

That's why I refered to him as a left-wing libertarian.

Some people, I mean really!

No you didn't. Read your own post (#65)

[DrRingDing]

I state here I firmly believe he is a left-wing libertarian.

I've watched all his HBO shows (several times) and some albums and a couple other performances and I can safely say the bloke ticks all the boxes for the above description.

Please Nino supply some evidence he's right wing.

 

[DrRingDing]

IMO his politics are left libertarian and often he's a comedy nihlist.

nino please read this previous post.

I've just been passing the time by reading some Carlin quotes, so thought I'd post some of the political ones:

"Have you ever wondered why Republicans are so interested in encouraging people to volunteer in their communities? It’s because volunteers work for no pay. Republicans have been trying to get people to work for no pay for a long time. "

"Once you leave the womb, conservatives don’t care about you until you reach military age. Then you’re just what they’re looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. "

"Property is theft. Nobody “owns” anything. When you die, it all stays here. "

"Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit. "

"The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it."

"Capitalism tries for a delicate balance: It attempts to work things out so that everyone gets just enough stuff to keep them from getting violent and trying to take other people’s stuff. "

 

[Doctor Carrot]

I'd never seen Carlin before either, watched his "life is worth losing" show last night, found it very funny.

 

[nino_savatte]

nino please read this previous post.

In post 65 you do not qualify the word "libertarian" by adding the word "left". That word is noticeably absent.

Whatever the case, I don't think Carlin is as good as he used to be. C'est mon avis - oui?

Read post #48 yer numpty.

Carlin is better now than at anytime. Far more bite to him.

He doesn't hate christians. He takes the piss particularly out of a certain sort of deep south mentality, people who think of themselves as christian, in a tribal sense, without really having a clue what christianity is about.

Rubbish. He rips all christians.

What I found quite interesting is in his one or two of his shows just a year or two before 9/11 he said airport security was bullshit as you can take knives on the place, just as the 9/11 hijaackers used.....and later mentions that fundamentalist muslims and xtians will be keeping us entertained for years to come.

Nail on the head, I believe.
