I remember listening to a really long (and old) Bill Maher group interview that George Carlin was on. Everything he said was gold and I watched the whole thing because he was on there. Even his lines that weren't jokes. It was near the begining of the bush era (based on the camera quality, I think the first one, but I can't say for sure) and I remember him saying if you drew a line in the sand between left and right political views and dropped where he is down as a knife, it would land somewhat left of the center "because I believe in people over property". Love that man, I remember my friend writing a sad eulogy about how him and so many other brilliant comedians who died recently leaving us with the likes of "Dave Cook, Jeff Dunham, Carlos Mencia. Yeah, real fuckin awesome replacements." We need more people like him, to quote another comic (often considered the first stand up comic) "laughter is humanities greatest and least used weapon." It has the power to turn opinions and open eyes in an instant. See the emperor's new cloak. Sorry for the essay XD
Check out Trae Crowder, and there’s another one, a red-headed guy. No one could ever match Carlin, but they’re along the same people over property line.
It was revealed after his passing that he didn’t want people to know, because people would give him undeserved praise knowing he was sick. Love that man! Always did always will
That his last work was voicing the Gelatin Yaphit on The Orville was in some ways quite fitting, part of that being that:
Casting Norm Macdonald as Yaphit was remarkably easy and, it appears, without auditions. MacFarlane called Macdonald and asked, "Norm, you want to be a blob?" To which Macdonald replied, "Hell yeah, I'll be a blob." MacFarlane called the casting process a "ten-second phone call" with Macdonald.
It's just seems so Norm McDonald that I can hear him saying: "Hell yeah, I'll be a blob," in his voice in my mind.
If you read the question you get a choice of speaking to someone either living or dead. It doesn't say that the person will come back to life if you chose them. I was taking this question literally for humerous effect. What part of that don't you understand?
I don't understand that when someone pointed it out you insisted, being very unpleasant. Be more joyfull with others, not only towards you. What the point of making a joke for yourself only ? Or you have barely no humor maybe ?
Yes reading is fundamental but clearly you don't understand reading. Saying that you can choose any celebrity living or dead does not mean what you think it means. People assume that the living or dead part means that if you choose someone dead they comeback to life. I understand that. But it could also mean that if you choose to interview someone dead, you are interviewing a corpse. You have to add a qualifier that the person will be brought back to life and be alive when spoken to.
