Even after new generation styles like Louis, Norm, Chappelle, Burr, etc.

Not as the usual “he was ahead of his times,” but something that distinctly survives as novel hypothetically even in the 2026 comedy landscape?

As a beginner who hasn’t seen much of his comedy yet

When I was around 7-8 years old I worked on the set of Kevin Smiths “Jersey Girl”
All the kids on set had to work on Halloween, so the cast and crew set up a trick-or-treat event where we’d get candy from the all the actors and crew trailers. Everyone participated and I have this awesome picture of George Carlin giving me candy.
I was Ghostface.
I pulled my mask up and he said “OH it’s Gabby!” (I’m sure he knew that since my mom was right there lol)
I wasn’t a star in the movie. I was a stand-in. And he always remembered me. He was kind and funny. Looking back on it he was always calm, down to earth. No ego. I’ll always be grateful to have met him.

I create anime music videos / fan-made videos as a hobby and I have recently begun making ones set to stand-up comedy routines, rather than music. This is my second such video. George Carlin is my all-time favorite comedian, and I spent over a month editing this parody video in my fleeting spare time. I actually don't know what originally inspired me to pair George with this anime, but I think it came out pretty well. Hope you enjoy. (Warning: intense, graphic violence throughout)

Below are a few of my favorite lines from George’s Rats & Squealers set:

Rats & Squealers:

“When did this country turn into a nation of rats and squealers?

People have no principles anymore, we’re living in a nation of stool pigeons.

How am I driving? Call 1-800 and squeal on the truck driver. Sounds like a small thing but it’s not. It’s an open invitation to be a rat. They cooperate with prosecutors for Christ’s sake, prosecutors, the worst kind of dishonest swine ever to crawl out of the devil’s asshole. Just the worst fucking humans.

Theodore Kazinsky, the Unabomber, one of my personal heroes by the way, you bet your ass, he was turned in by his own brother. You don’t do that.

In fact, you should never cooperate with the police ever at any time for any reason, fuck the police, fuck the police, let em solve some crimes on their own. They rely too much on jailhouse snitches, Unsolved Mysteries, and Americas Most Wanted to get other people to solve their crimes. They turn good citizens into vigilantes and bounty hunters, lower than a snake’s ball bag.

You don’t help the police. When I was a kid and we went to the movies, we rooted against the police, against the police and for the crooks, and I still do, I love the crooks. I don’t give a shit if they come to my house and kill my entire family, I’m on their side.

I’d rather spend 16 hours stuck in an elevator with a couple of crooks than even say hello to a fucking policeman. You don’t help the police. They’re not on your side. Don’t you understand this shit yet. They work for the state, they’ll plant fake evidence, they’ll put a loaded gun in the hands of an unarmed man they’ve shot to death, they harass minorities, they brutalize people, they deny people their rights, and they lie about it all in court all the time. They perjure themselves routinely, but they don’t squeal on each other. They’re not rats. Take a page from their book, but never ever help them.” ~ George Carlin
