By George Carlin

Great comedy at a great value This gift set gathers three timeless Carlin recordings including two Grammy(R) winners, plus an interview from public radio's Fresh Air.d three must be funniest, right? That's our thinking behind this collection. This laugh-out-loud program includes: Brain Droppings - 2001 Grammy(R) winnerAcerbic observations, manic musings, in-your-face questions, witty word play, and more "droppings" from Carlin's singular brain. "I put a dollar in a change machine. Nothing changed." "Why are there no recreational drugs taken in suppository form?"Napalm & Silly Putty - 2002 Grammy(R) winnerCarlin invents Past-Tense TV ("Got Smart," "Father Knew Best," "It Was Left to Beaver"), crusades for the Center for Research into the Heebie Jeebies, and suggests that "if the shoe fits, get another just like it."More Napalm & Silly PuttyEverything that wouldn't fit on the first Napalm recording-like "A Day in the Life of Henry VIII," "Sports Should Be Fixed," and candid takes on life's little moments ("I'm beyond the nice day"), all delivered with wicked glee.Plus a bonus interview from Fresh Air.

George Carlin

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!

The Funniest Man In America

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 David

Still angry and unrepentant

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!

Very Funny!!!

We got this to listen to while driving on vacation-Love it!!! Very funny & I love the George Carlin is reading his books to you-it's like having him in the car with you. Excellent purchase-very happy with this product!!!!

Funny compilation of already-available material

This is a multi-disc set containing Brain Droppings, Napalm & Silly Putty, and More Napalm & Silly Putty. Excellent, funny stuff, but to be avoided if you already own the individual titles. If you don't, this is your opportunity.
