Hilarious!.......2007-03-14

This is one of my favorite Carlin's and I was lucky enough to see him live performing most of this material. I love the place for my stuff monologue "going up in the airplane looking down at all the little places full of stuff." The fussy eater always reminded me of things my mother said and along the way George interjects his hilarious "announcements."

Along with Class Clown and Toledo Window Box, this is one of the best early Carlin discs to get!

Carlin in the early years.......2007-02-12

I am a big Carlin Fan, BUT Starting from the 90s on. The early years are not so my favourite thing.

Hilarious experimentation.......2006-01-08

This album is unique to Carlin in that rather than nonstop stand-up recorded live, it is interspersed with commercials, interviews and game shows written and run by George, as if you're flipping through an all-Carlin TV set. It's somewhat reminiscent of his old radio/character comedy. The language is filthy, as usual, but the concepts are more lighthearted and inoffensive than his material on "You Are All Diseased" and "Complaints and Greivances". There's more observation and wordplay than satire on this one, and by this point in his career the wordplay is unrivaled.

Not quite as good as some of the other albums with straight, recorded-live-all-at-once formats, but I'm glad George is willing to experiment with all angles of humor.

As George would say in years to come.......2005-08-06

this is the stuff he thinks about when "I'm home and the power goes out."

This is Carlin at his best: The stuff he came up with then (and now) was what hooked me on his comedy. He discusses topics that no other comedian would even think to talk about (such as, "You ever noticed you don't get laid at Thanksgiving?"). It's the off-the-wall, but things we think about all the time, stuff like that which keeps you coming back for more and asking, "What else is he going to come up with?"

Carlin always did come up with some right on observations: From religion to the Viet Nam and Gulf wars, to every social ill you can think of. Even if you don't agree with him, credit has to be given for his tackling such topics (as well as the off-the-wall stuff).

This CD is a great primer for Carlin's other works - before and after.

True Comedic Genius.......2005-06-28

I was about 10 when I heard this album for the first time and it's still as funny today as it was the day I heard it. In fact, it's probably funnier because I get all of the subtler references I missed back in 1980.

As others have mentioned, the album is compiled from material taken from one of Carlin's live shows and interspersed with studio materials. And while others have also used this kind of a format (for example, Denis Leary's Lock-N-Load album), this is by far the penultimate example of a mix between live and studio comedy.

From the live material, the "Place for My Stuff", "Rice Krispies", and "Ice Box Man" are still laugh out loud funny. The studio material is also very funny and I have always thought that it was included to highlight the wittier side of Carlin's comedy -- the "Book Club" and "I'm a famous person and I'm for sale" bits make me laugh every time I hear them.

I don't think you can call yourself a Carlin fan and not own this album.
