    Exactly. I enjoyed his stand-up comedy back in the 80s and 90s. I enjoyed his sitcom (although that was mostly down to Larry David), but the world has moved on. Comedy evolves. If you can’t evolve with it, you end up being Don Rickles in the world of George Carlin.

      It’s sort of laughable to have him give a commencement speech. Who the hell cares about this old dude.

        I like how in his documentary he lays out all his yellow legal pads of material like I’m suppose to be impressed he wrote stuff down.

        Wow, dude, you’re so smart.
