No one is safe — not even the children — on this classic Carlin set.

We Say...
It’s not accurate to accuse the consummately cranky George Carlin of having pet peeves, he says at the outset of this 1999 set, when the world’s most influential living comic was at the top of his game: He has major psychotic f---ing hatreds. After popping gaskets over such benign subjects as trendy cigar smokers and our society’s excessive fear of germs, Carlin lets loose with a sustained tirade over America’s self-righteous emphasis on “the children.” They’re overrated, he huffs, hilariously. They’re not all cute, and they don’t always smell so hot, either (with lots of ‘em giving off that “sour milk and urine combination”). In the long run, says our age’s real truth-teller, they’re just like people of all ages — a few winners, and a whole lotta losers… Just a little something to send you on your merry way. You have a nice day now, y’hear?

They Say...
As the years progress, George Carlin only gets angrier -- and, considering that the world is just getting more ridiculous, that may be the only response. Fortunately, his anger keeps him sharp, and that's why he's still fascinating and funny in 1999, when most of his peers have dried up. The key to his success is that he doesn't continue to recycle his routines -- he writes new material which illustrates that he's not just a comedian, he's a commentator. He tackles a number of subjects on You Are All Diseased, from familiar items like "Airport Security" to the silly cigar boom of the late '90s, television, religion, and "American Bullshit." Some of this is dead-on and some of it suffers from a delivery that is a bit too reminiscent of past routines, but it's all entertaining and the best of it ranks with the best of his past work. Not many comedians could claim that their latter-day work is as good as the stuff that made their name, and that's a strong testament to Carlin's skills, talent and wit.
