Quotes
[about feminists]
George Carlin: When it comes to changing the language, I think they make some good points. Because we do think in language. And so the quality of our thoughts and ideas can only be as good as the quality of our language. So maybe some of this patriarchal shit ought to go away. I think "spokesman" ought to be "spokesperson." I think "chairman" ought to be "chairperson." I think "mankind" ought to be "humankind." But they take it too far, they take themselves too seriously, they exaggerate. They want me to call that thing in the street a "personhole cover." I think that's taking it a little bit too far!
[laughter]
George Carlin: What would you call a ladies' man, a "person's person"? That would make a he-man an "it-person." Little kids would be afraid of the "boogie-person." They'd look up in the sky and see the "person in the moon." Guys would say "come back here and fight like a person," and we'd all sing "For It's a Jolly Good Person," that's the kind of thing you would hear on "Late Night with David Letterperson"! You know what I mean?
[laughter and applause]

a bit weak, by Carlin standards

While the material is better than pretty much any other living comedian (though Eddie Izzard comes mighty close), George's delivery is weaker than usual.

It's interesting that this show was packaged with the far superior Jammin' in New York. You can see he was working on new material in 1990 that became far more refined by the 1992 show. Still, I'd recommend it for any Carlin fan.

My favorite part was the bit about talking loudly in a party when everyone is suddenly silent. I shan't repeat the punchline here, cuz then I'd have to click the "If you have a spoiler..." box and ruin a great joke.
