There's plenty of food for thought in Carlin's talks. That's why I never thought so much depended on his delivery, until I tried to read instead of watching.I just can't summon up the energy to finish this one.
Read full review at: Review: Napalm & Silly Putty by George Carlin, the comedy legend George Carlin was a legendary comedian. Even before I started getting into stand-up comedy, which was actually pretty recently, I was aware of him. So when I started reading this book I was curious to find out what...
There were quite a few interesting commentaries, but overall, the book wasn't as funny as I had been expecting. Many of the jokes written are better/funnier when told as part of a stand-up.
I listened to the audio of this as well... And even though it rehashed a lot of the same topics as 'When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?', I liked this one better. It was more like a stand-up routine and less like a really bad Mad TV episode. Plus this was actually funny. Good enough for me. :)
