"Carlin...doesn't disappoint." (Entertainment Weekly)

beast mode

I loved this. it provided me some great entertainment and plenty of laughs. it was awesome

Looks like I'll still need to read the hardcopy

Good "broad strokes" version of the book. I need to read the hardcopy for the full treatment.

entertaining

entertaining. he reads a bit too fast to catch all of his smart ass remarks. quick listen, finished in 2 sittings

George Carlin is the best thing since sliced bread.

The one problem I really had with this title.
IT ENDED! I was never told this book would ever end. I would never have listened to this if I knew that would happen.

hilarious

some of the best comedy you can listen to, I think I will buy the paperback edition.

Was expecting not so much vulgarity, my mistake

Much prefer his YouTube stuff & his Johnny Carson appearances, as it was pretty clean & more funny. But I guess as the modern world de-evolved so did Carlin, but in a counter-culture way, which was probably pretty much required if he wished to stay relevant and make a living in a world as it was inverting into it's vulgar state. As Dr. Benjamin Franklin might note - "Carlin musta had something weird with aspects of Uranus and Saturn goin' on, and obviously something really strong about Aquarius in his chart." I only mention this as one of the more funnier aspects of the book is the section where Carlin talks about the zodiac signs. Now If your into the vulgar culture or submerged into the matrix of this current inverted world you'll probably enjoy the book, or at least 'HOPEFULLY" find it enlightening; of course you may have
to listen to some philosophy & spiritual books to find the hopeful and enlightening aspects...
listening to Carlin's opening monologue of the book will reveal why. And not sure how
this one slipped thru without the [parental Advisory Notice logo].... just an observation.

Funny

If you like George Carlin, you'll like this rather unorthodox book. But be warned: this is just a printed version of his HBO comedy specials. George is the only one who could read this work and make it funny...and he does it very well.

Heard it all before

Heard alot of this before in his skits so I found it redundant and just okay

Real funny and mostly true!

I really enjoyed listening to George, he has a way of making understand that we don't have to be so! Serious about everything in life. Just try to enjoy it and don't be such a tight ass!

Would you listen to Brain Droppings again? Why?

i listen again and again. i share his raunchy sense of humor.

What other book might you compare Brain Droppings to and why?

Napalm & Silly Putty I & 2. He has a great balance between 'righteous ranting' and 'raunchy humor'. George was a genius. i miss him.
