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.

You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Yes, George Carlin is here with more of what he did better than any other comic: uproarious observations, laser-targeted crankiness, linguistic legerdemain, and inspired weirdness. ("If the shoe fits, get another just like it." "When you sneeze, all the numbers in your head go up by one.") Napalm & Silly Putty is just what his fans have been waiting for—another generous helping of notions, nonsense, assertions, assumptions, mockery, merriment, silliness, sarcasm, and, to be sure, plenty of disturbing references and toxic alienation.

He perfected the art of making audiences double over with laughter while simultaneously making people wake up to the realities (and insanities) of life in the 20th century. Few people glimpsed the inner life of this beloved comedian, but his only child, Kelly, was there to see it all.

100 percent, unapologetically, George Carlin
No surprises in Carlin's own reading of his classic late career book releases. In this narrative, you get precisely what you expect. Social observer, hilariously literal etymologist and patron saint of the realists, this listen was worth it to fill the time on my drives to and from work.
It was interesting - and slightly frightening - to hear how much of his material is relevant, evocative and poignant even four years after his death. The book earned three stars for story only because this book is a stand-up routine and not a story.
I enjoyed it but would not recommend this if you are offended by profanity. Nice addition to the audio library for one credit.

Watch the specials instead.
A lot of his best materials, but he’s just talking to a mic. On the specials he’s animated and the audience immerses you in the act.

Too Much of a Good Thing
I really enjoy George Carlin's observations and humor, but in this particular instance I felt a little bit bombarded by those observations. So much of his material causes you to stop and think and this format doesn't allow for that. All the material was good, but I think I would listen to it a second time in smaller doses.

George gives you plenty to ponder on
If you have ever listened to any of George Carlin's stuff or have watched his videos and specials...then more than likely you have heard some of what's here in this audio collection. I'm a big fan of his and I have heard all of this in his routines at some point or another. However; this is a good collection of his thoughts.
Hearing George's thinking in an audio book format was reminiscent of listening to the old George Carlin vinyl records or audio cassettes only in digital form.
The books are narrated by George himself which adds to his writing bringing you into his way of looking at things. You're getting three books because he adds an extra one... "more Napalm and Silly Putty" at the end.
Politically incorrect at times... Snowflakes beware... comedy enclosed within. Recommended for those looking to bring a smile to your day. This can be listened to in segments as the subject changes quite often.

George Carlin is legendary!
Carlin's material is made to be listened to. A lot of the sarcastic, snarky emotion would get lost without his voice. I would love the collection so much more if I hadn't heard so many of the jokes in "Life is Worth Losing" and "Parental Advisory." I love how his material isn't typically laugh-out-loud punchline material, but more of things that get you thinking. A master at his best.

More George Carlin Greatness
Very funny, of course if you are a big George Carlin fan you'll spot things in here from his standup comedy. There is however... plenty of new material. I miss George Carlin!
