I did like Carlins earlier stuff but found he just turned into a hateful, miserable cynic in his later years.
Its 'funny' when you take the mickey out of the silliest aspects of Religion (and as a Christian I can really enjoy that myself. .. maybe more than others) but Carlin seemed to degenerate into simply 'pissing on' God.
Thats not really clever or funny.
Its just being a dick.

I gotta agree with everyone else on Bill Maher. Simply a big asshole who has a highly over-rated opinion of himself and is not nearly as clever as he seems to think he is.
Im still unclear as to why or how he became as succesful as he did and even more baffled that he has started to take himself 'seriously'.

Dennis Miller - I didnt like at first and seemed like he was just doing the same cynical jerk-ass spite-humour as the others.. then somewhere in the 90's he just started winning me over.
Now I think some of the stuff he comes up with (or his writers?) is just brilliant, smart and downright hilarious!

Even Millers 'lowbrow' gags seemed cunning to me - if anyone remembers his 'Big Picture' routine from The Dennis Miller Show' where he would send the audience into hysterics simply by attributing a one-liner to Boris Yeltsins drunken facial expressions.

BTW.. for 'Controversial' stand-up I never miss Lewis Black - yes, its more just ranting and raving but he does it so well!

George Carlin - HE KICKS MAJOR ASS!!! I have his live shows on my computer.

Bill Maher - I love his show... he isn't as funny, but he makes for great arguments.

Dennis Miller - RIGHT WING FUCKJOB.

They're all dickheads. But I love 'em.

I actually saw George Carlin live, when I was 15. He's awesome..you need to read his books, they're full of witty, intelliegent comments. I find myself agreeing with almost everything he says.

I'm not a big fan of Bill Maher, but I love his show on HBO (also loved Politically Incorrect, but Real Time is even more "politically incorrect") because he has people with all different viewpoints on it. This year's season premiere was great, him and Michael Moore totally made an ass out of that Republican senator, and I LOVED it when they begged Nader to drop out of the race!!

Dennis Miller.....eh...never found him to be very funny, and he is too conservative for my tastes. He was funny on SNL though.

My favorite Bill Maher quote is this: "You do realize that you're being represented by bunch of soul-less cash whores, right?"
