1) DVD DVD George Carlin - George's Best Stuff by Mpi Home Video. I love George Carlin and I´m glad I have this DVD. This focuses on some of his earlier (and some would argue better) material so some of it is a little dated but it´s still great. I´m 25 and was too young to enjoy the material when it came out but I find it hilarious and intellictually stimulating now. I highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of George Carlin.¤ 2) DVD DVD George Carlin - George's Best Stuff by Mpi Home Video. I´ve always loved and admired George so of course this review may be a bit bias.
This particular dvd is a conglomeration of years and different venues. For instance the ´dirty word´ pops up several times during this dvd but from a different time and place. He just adds to them. It´s nice to see George while relatively young and see him age. But the humor doesn´t change. His outlook on the world so matches my own, I only wish I could have made a living like he did. He has such a way of showing us how odd we really are. For instance, an attachment to our ´stuff´.
Back to the point. If you are a fan, you will be enchanted by this dvd.
RIP George!
MEF¤ 3) DVD DVD George Carlin - George's Best Stuff by Mpi Home Video. I used to watch George Carlin a lot when I was a kid. We regarded him as being quite risqué (lol) but today, I must admit, his brand of humor seems rather dated. What we have to remember with Carlin is that he was a forerunner, and this DVD really makes you realize the type of influence he had on the great comedians of our day--particularly Jerry Seinfeld. He was a giant of the observational method, and laid the ground upon which many a great career has traversed. Carlin´s delivery is also magnificent. His acting and presence made him transcend what seems to be so-so material. He´s no Chris Rock, but he made an enormous contribution to comedy.¤ 4) DVD DVD George Carlin - George's Best Stuff by Mpi Home Video. A Readers Digest collection of mostly ancient bits of his youthful beginnings--much of the routines is dated, maybe funny then but our new youth may not relate. Still George, but he has certainly improved with age.¤ 5) DVD DVD George Carlin - George's Best Stuff by Mpi Home Video. Some of this stuff is from the 70´s when George Carlin was young and in 1990, he looked a little bit older like in Scary Movie 3 where he looks like Santa Claus as "the architect". George Carlin is my personal favorite comedian and it´s as good as Robin Williams-Live on Broadway.Recently, I heard that nowadays he wants to be taken more seriously.I think he would be very good in something serious. That´s just me.¤ 6) DVD DVD George Carlin - George's Best Stuff by Mpi Home Video. Studio: Mpi Home Video Release Date: 04/29/2003 Run time: 87 minutes Rating: Nr¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
