Product Description
Great comedy and a good deal, this new gift set gathers three timeless Carlin recordings including two Grammy® winners.
If one George Carlin audio is funny, then two are funnier and three must be funniest, right? That's our thinking behind this new collection. It's a HighBridge library of laugh-out-loud, award-winning recordings featuring George himself performing many of his best bits. His latest book will be out this fall. Warm up with these hilarious classics--and enjoy serious savings. The set includes:
Brain Droppings. Acerbic observations, manic musings, in-your-face questions, witty work play, and more "droppings" from Carlin's singular brain. "I put a dollar in a change machine. Nothing changed." "e;Why are there no recreational drugs taken in suppository form?" The first Carlin book on audio and a 2001 Grammy® winner.
Napalm & Silly Putty. Carlin invents Past-Tense TV ("Got Smart," "Father Knew Best," "It Was Left to Bever"), crusades for the Center for Research into the Heebie Jeebies, founds the George Carlin Book Club (recommended reading: Fill Your Life with Croutons), and suggest that "If the shoe fits, get another just like it." A 2002 Grammy® winner.
More Napalm & Silly Putty. Everything that wouldn't fit on the first Napalm recording--like "A Day in the Life of Henry VIII," "Sports Should Be Fixed," compelling confessions ("I couldn't commit suicide if my life depended on it"), and candid takes on life's little moments ("I'm beyond the nice day"), all delivered with wicked glee.

Summary: George Carlin 2008-09-01
Comment: It is so much funnier to listen to George read his own books, because he puts on all these different characters. I couldn't stop laughing about what he was talking about. He is so thought provoking. I love George Carlin!

Comment: Enough has been said about this great man - if he was running for President my wife would be forcibly made to vote for him.
Me - I'm a Brit and miss this style of real humour
Cheers

Summary: Still angry and unrepentant 2006-03-15
Comment: I have been a Carlin fan since the hippy dippy weatherman days. The fact that he tells you up front that "I will read to you but you'll have to get someone else to understand it for you" is just the best. If you can't laugh at yourself don't listen to this CD. His wit and perspectives are not for the faint of heart or the tight of ass. I met Mr. Carlin several years ago going into a Ruby Tuesday resturant on the beach in Biloxi. He graciously gave me fifteen minutes of his time and was tremendously kind to listen to me rant about how much his humor has meant to me over the years. I love his body of work and I loved these three books on CD. A big thumbs up or at least one those fingers way up!
