You Have No Rights- George Carlin

I love this bit from Carlin's final comedy album, which ended up winning a Grammy.  Might not be safe for work...

My family used to have Robin Williams' "Reality.. What a Concept" album.  Some funny stuff, some stupid stuff.  I never have liked Robin Williams but a couple tracks were good.

NOT Safe for Work!

"I'm on A Boat" by The Lonely Island, featuring T-Pain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfISlGLNU
So, these guys did a comedy album, and they asked this rapper T-Pain to collaborate.  It's sort of a parody of rap songs about guys describing their cars, but these guys rap about being on a boat and sleeping with mermaids.  Recently was nominated for a Grammy.

'Pants' is awesome.. so is "Like A Boss".  Maybe I or you can post that one later, I can't see or post vids at work.

I own all of Weird Al's albums on either cassette or CD.  I have Tom Lehrer's first two albums (they're on the same CD Songs and More Songs).  I also have several of Dr. Demento's compilation albums and two of Bill Hicks' albums.  I do like Carlin as well.

You Have No Rights- George Carlin

Carlin was a big favourite of mine in my teens, although I liked him much better before he got all angry and bitter. He always held institutions, rules and social norms up to ridicule, but he used to do it in a much more playful way. He didn't spend half the time giving heavy-handed lectures. He pointed out the things that didn't make sense, and let the silliness speak for itself.

True.  He did seem to be much more bitter as an older man.  But, eh.  I still like it although it was a bit preachy.

I think the last comedy album I actually bought was in the late 90s. Denis Leary's No Cure for Cancer. Lots of funny stuff on the disc, but very few watchable, embeddable YouTube videos of the performance. So, here's a slide show somebody cut together for Leary's Irish Folk Song.

Milk and Water by Lewis Black. 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXS5GBuk-GQ
I have the cd this is on.  Dude's hilarious and probably in my top 3 stand-ups.  In this bit, he talks about milk, and how as a kid in the '60s, you only had "Moo cow fu*k milk," but now you got soy milk, lactose free milk, etc etc, and nobody knows if milk is good or bad for em.

George Carlin talks about "Stuff'.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvgN5gCuLac
This is the first Carlin standup I've seen.  Had known him primarily as an actor (I was born in '84, saw him in movies like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Dogma, on tv shows.)  Liked it, and peeped out his albums.  Funny dude.

"Smells Like Nirvana" by "Weird Al" Yankovic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FklUAoZ6KxY
Not the first Weird Al song I heard (that would be '96's "Amish Paradise"), but it's my favorite Al parody.  I like alot of Al's NON-Parody novelty stuff, but this is his best parody, by far.  Mainly, cause he hits the nail on the head: Nirvana was a garage band from Seattle that hit big, and they screamed a lot and nobody understood what the dude was singing.  Plus, ANY video with a midget AND Dick Van Patten= comedy gold in my mind. 

Plus, Kurt Cobain seemed really cool about it.  Al doesn't HAVE to get permission to do parodies, but makes it a point to call the artist and ask anyway.  He called Kurt, and said he had a parody idea.  Kurt says: "It's not about food, is it? Like Eat It?"  Al goes, "Oh, no.  It's about how you scream all the time and nobody understands what you're saying."  Kurt was just like, "Oh, that's even better, go for it.  Least I know I'm established now, cause you're doing one of my songs."

Thanks for posting that video Happy. I'd never heard of Lewis Black, that was hilarious and I think he's fantastic!  :thumbup:

Definitely one of the most UNDERRATED comics ever, in my opinion.
