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.

Classic Carlin

A compilation of his books, which are in turn taken from his various stand-up routines, this audiobook is classic Carlin. If you know his work, you know exactly what to expect. Some of the material is dated (i.e., the bit about how certain celebrities will be memorialized when they die - and who are now dead). The vast majority of it is timeless. It's proof that George Carlin was way ahead of his time and always smarter than the rest of us.

A must have.

Haaaaaaaah!!! One can never go wrong with anything by George-- unless you are an over-sensitive softy. Always funny - always worth the trip.

Same as his stand up

I love George Carlin's take on society, the fact that he doesn't stick with the norm and that he doesn't care about political correctness. I would recommend this audiobook to anyone you know that is paranoid and likes to thing about the "big world", especially if they haven't seen his stand up comedy, given that most of the content in this book stems from his stand up, or vise versa.

George Carlin was a prophet!

I’ve always loved George Carlin’s comedy but wow, he was so ahead of his time! He’s spot on about the degradation of humanity, sadly.
