I think George Carlin is the funniest standup comedian ever. And he was successful for almost 50 years in the business.

I have spent a lot of time laughing my ass of at his stuff.

Plus, I admire his courage. There was an old joke he told "Did you ever notice that the women protesting at an abortion clinic are women you wouldn't want to fuck anyway?". Now that sort of joke takes balls to tell to an audience. Many comedians wouldn't touch it, especially today. Those that would tell it, would build up to it. Carlin opened a show at Carnegie Hall with that line. His old material from his albums in the 70s was hilarious. His books were great. And he didn't give anybody a pass.

He was also one of the most literate comedians. He used the language and knew the language better than anyone I can think of.
