Late Carlin was more political diatribe written by one of the funniest people/better wordsmith out there than jokes but he could do that cause he also did jokes, had the chops to make it still funny regardless and had genuine insight. And that was after he had a 30 year career of being a bit more silly. He had a finely honed craft before really diving down that road. Anyone trying to be George Carlin is a pretender to the throne at best. It's arrogant to even attempt what he was doing near the end of his career before getting really really really good at comedy first. Now it's why people attempt stand up in the first place.
Those seem pretty ideal. I downloaded a lot of knowledge about the world from Louis CK for a while. Had to go rewatch a bunch of his shit after the sex pest stufd dropped so I could sort out what to deprogram. And as a teenager I learned about relationships and sex from Comedy Central Presents and a bunch of the movies that that channel aired. And learned about race as a white kid in a practically-still-segregated town from Kat Williams and Carlos Mencia. It was real bad.
:sweat: yeah uh-huh i would never internalize Carlin or Hicks haha
