Special Price Today Go To Store!! (Limited Time Offer)
Though I don't officially own this DVD yet I have seen the performance on HBO and I personally think it was a great show. I admit I don't follow a religion and I myself am an atheist like George Carlin but after seeing many of my family members pass on personally I do believe there is a point in everyone's life where they just know their going to pass on. This show was not meant to amuse everyone like some people seem to think it wasn't Georges usual "Hippie dippy weatherman." bit because he didn't want it that way. This was his final rant his last chance to tell the world what he thought and yes some of it is a repeat performance from some of his later bits but how many times has your grandfather told you the same old story? Anyways the point of this review is to let new viewers know that this DVD is not going to be wacky George Carlin its going to be George as himself getting his last few words in for everyone to hear. Having watched it under that context I truly enjoyed it as it had ALOT of truth in it believe it or not.
George Carlin: It's Bad For Ya Overview
It s Bad For Ya, Carlin s Emmy nominated 14th and final HBO special from March of 2008 features Carlin s noted irreverent and unapologetic observations on topics ranging from death, religion, bureaucracy, patriotism, overprotected children and big business to the pungent examinations of modern language and the decrepit state of the American culture.
For this unprecedented 14th HBO special, Carlin once again comes up with an hour of brand new material that not only makes you laugh, but makes you think.
George Carlin will always remain part of the popular lexicon for his "Seven Dirty Words" routine, and as a comedian who was never afraid to challenge his audience.

Do you have a 70+ year-old father? - J. Nicholas - Seattle, WA USA
This is the second DVD I've purchased. The first one was for myself and the other was for my father's 71st birthday. Everytime I watched the DVD I noticed there were many similarites between George Carlin and my father that I had to give this to my dad so he could laugh too. It's classic stuff and George Carlin puts his usual spin on the subject. Unfortunately it's his last recorded stand up DVD so it's a prize as well.
My husband and I plug in the DVD whenever there's not much on tv and/or need a good laugh. We've watched it so often that we can recite lines to each other, especially when we're in situations that George talks about, i.e., Was it 8 years or 5? Being around people for about a minute, minute and a half, and being an old f--k, not an old man or old fart. Then there's the subject about placing your hand on the bible or wearing hats in church.
