Publisher's summary

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. The set includes:

Brain Droppings
Acerbic 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?" 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 Beaver); crusades for the Center for Research into the Heebie Jeebies; founds the George Carlin Book Club (recommended reading: Fill Your Life with Croutons); and suggests 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.

The Late Great Carlin

Honestly, I've listened through this book probably a solid two dozen times. I'll put it on as I'm going to bed. It's a collection of his books and some bits you see in his stand-up routines.

George Carlin's voice is legendary

My favorite book of all time. And the fact that George reads it to you makes it so much better. I highly reccomend to any and all fans of adult comedy.

George I Love Ya But...

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Georgeorgeorge orgeorge if you know Carlin you know the joke.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

It was an education in what almost works.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Stop reading and do the show.

Did George Carlin Reads to You inspire you to do anything?

yes! Avoid my cousin.

Any additional comments?

George has some great stuff he uses in his shows. I mean rolling on the floor FUNNY. This is 7 hours of the other stuff. It's like going on a road trip with that cousin that was funny at the wedding reception last year, but now you're stuck in the car with him for SEVEN F'N HOURS.

It's like George Carlin is in your headphones!

A great way to cheer yourself up while still maintaining your sense of snark. I listen to this any time I want to improve my work day. It's like watching stand up with your back to the stage ;) Come on, if you got this far download it! #Quirky #Funny #Cynical #Dark #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Conversational jokes...?

I like George Carlin, but it was like they sat him down and said "Do you, but don't get excited." much of his schtick was exciting punch lines!
