Crazy to think the shit he'due south talking almost thirty years ago is withal applicable in this day and age, if not more so.
Even though I'm not the biggest Carlin fan, perhaps less so the more I watch from him, I always detect myself returning to his work. What stood out to me with bits on soft linguistic communication and the transformation of the way in which we say things (which, equally Carlin argues, never does much to change true meaning), was Carlin's unrelenting allegiance to what he sees to exist simple, basic truths. This seems to be the source of what makes him both funny and, as he would later depict himself, a grumpy old fuck. Not a bad re-sentry.
Quite possibly Carlin'southward lowest quality HBO special. It never actually flows at all, this one, and it really is all over the dial. Still, it's withal quite proficient.

Normally Carlin was an practiced at bringing together different strings in a show and organising them into a beautifully flowing routine, even when he digressed from a subject. Here he simply never manages it, and occasionally overdoes the political diatribes and allows them to just drift into rants rather than funny complaints. And there really is a difference.

He does manage to pack in some of his virtually challenging textile, though, taking some mixed merely occasionally brilliant potshots at eye class housewife feminists and people who use 'safe' language. The all-time part…
These last ii George Carlin Specials have been absolutely neat. This guy really understood how things are.
Acá arranca la época de oro de Carlin, y lo hace con esta bomba de especial. Reagan, Religión, Guerra, Control de masas, feminismo, violación, cáncer... lo que se les ocurra. Está todo. Especialmente maravillosa es toda su rutina referida a las palabras ofensivas y los eufemismos, como el lenguaje se fue volviendo más descriptivo y menos directo a través de los años como forma de ocultar la realidad. Genialidad de inicio a fin.
Doin' Information technology Over again feels like a transitional Carlin special from his early, sillier observational sense of humour to the more than pointed, acerbic and sometimes political material of his peers, which he'd perfect in his later specials.

There's a lot of variety here, which is both an asset and a liability, as hardcore material about feminists, death and war sits somewhat uneasily alongside goofier, more than pedestrian, sometime school bits nigh things like dogs. Too, the opening flake virtually irritating phrases would be revisited and washed to much greater effect later on as "Advertising Lullabye." I'thousand starting to detect, though, that Carlin usually likes to save 10-15 minutes of elevation flight material for the finale, and this one ends with a double whammy about…
My favorite affair about this is his insightfulness about language and thought manipulation through linguistic communication. It is a topic he covers often merely he is more pointed and angry here. His message can seem to contradict itself at times and is non as organized as usual. Non equally many laughs every bit head nods.

Prepare Dressing: He has begun wearing his all blackness clothing. His backdrop is a grey building that resembles a prison.
Open up/Close: Opens with him talking to someone similar a psychiatrist and and then a montage of by HBO specials.
Memorable Bit: The softening of our linguistic communication.

"We do recollect in language and then the quality of our thoughts and ideas tin only be as skillful as the quality of our language."
This one was fantastic. Dear the insight into euphemisms.
