Really looked up to him when I was an edgy teenager, MAAAAN. I think some of his bits hold up but overall way too preachy and took himself too seriously. That Undertaker outfit he wore and that "Just a Ride" speech are douche chill city. Also him pretending to be assassinated for being too much of a truthteller was fawkin broootallly gay. Carlin's "Modern Man" might've been worse although at least he didn't wear a wrestling costume.

Also REALLY don't like the template he created of "know-it-all drug addict has witty answers to the world's problems in lieu of jokes" that unfunny faggots like stool-humping Rogan and Doug Stanhope ran with.

He really knocked Christians and pro-lifers down a peg or two. I doubt he’d get away with most of that today given their stranglehold on the media.

The bigger issue retroactively is that too many people tried to be like him after he was gone. And everyone did it poorly.
Carlin started the mold before Hicks did, so he gets a pass. But Leary, Jeffries, all these hacks? Terrible. And that's not even saying he was a genius - he was unique for the time, and was funny, but as stated above, there was a smarmy self -importance that bled through some of his bits to the point where it took away from any humour - but he was clever. I laughed at the guy numerous times, especially his LA Riots joke.
So many comedians to this day try to emulate what he did, and all they're doing is spoken word, not stand up comedy. They're a Henry Rollins instead of an Anthony Jeselnik.
And that's one egg I'm not about to crack!

He was an overly animated take him self way too seriously homosexual. But I think he did have some talent, just not sure if that talent was being funny.

I wouldn’t say Carlin was a faggot but there’s so many faggot comedians who try (and fail) to sound like him. Can’t even come up with their own voice so they just steal his.

This is a good example of what I'm talking about. That bit has been lifted and repackaged so many different times that if you were to see Hicks do it, you wouldn't find it to be that funny. 30 years later, his stuff is a victim of its own success.

It's an evergreen formula, here's Doug Stanhope with a remix of a variation on a theme. It's ethnicky jazz I use to parade my snazz

Loved him as a teen, but then again I thought Henry Rollins's spoken word shit was deep. Hell, I thought Joe Rogan was cool circa 2007.

I like how you sandwiched that inexcusable Henry Rollins admission between two others that are more or less tame.
(In your defense though, he’s the only one of those three I can hate-watch today whereas the others are just boring.)

Oh, I was (and still am) a douche, but that demographic is the only group that Rollins should appeal to: angsty teens.

The problem I have with Carlin, Hicks and the like, is that they, and much of their audience, seem to think that both their comic ability and intelligence correlate with one another.
As if they can use humour as a tool to uncover some profound truth, when in reality, they wrap their humour around their political views and their audience think that if the jokes funny, then it must be true.
