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. His latest book will be out this fall. Warm up with these hilarious classics--and enjoy serious savings. The set includes: Brain Droppings. Acerbic observations, manic musings, in-your-face questions, witty work 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 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.… (more)

George Carlin is the immortal king of logical, linguistic, and livid comedy! This audiobook is a great collection of some of his best material, narrated by the man himself. You'll laugh, you'll think, and you will never look at the world the same again. ( )

I can only take George Carlin in very small doses and I had to stop before finishing this audiobook because it was monotonous ranting. There was never any indication that George approves of anything or that anything made him happy. For instance, he moved from New York to Los Angeles and went on and on about the people and living conditions of the city. I was shouting at him in the car to move back to New York if it was so bad. And don't get him started on grammar and popular phrases! I had to stop listening to this for my blood pressure and safety on the road. ( )

Book description
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.
