George Carlin/Awesome

More than most comedians can dream about.

""Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Goods. This one is just plain fuckin' stupid. Coveting your neighbors' goods is what keeps the economy going!""
 * "Coast to Coast Emergency" from Life is Worth Losing. Hell, the whole special is a masterpiece of Black Comedy.
 * Coming up with - and intelligently defending - the Seven Words list. Our world is fucking better for it.
 * For playing Mr. Conductor and narrating some Thomas stories and making it work. Seriously, this troper would rather have George back as the Narrator because his voice fits so well.
 * Neatly deconstructing the ten commandments on Complaints & Grievances. By the end, he's minimized it down to two. Choice quote:

""Thous Shalt Keep Thy Religion to Thyself!""
 * From the same bit: his insistence that they add a third commandment.
