It took me a few seconds to understand. Sometimes, I can be dense.

Ron White can be funny.

I somehow never heard of him until a few years ago. I was surprised to find this old video of him with long curly hair. I was also surprised that he managed to earn a good living telling some of the same jokes for decades.

Some people earn a living by singing the same songs over and over. Not really that much (if any) different.

I guess for some of the die hard fans that could be true. I saw George Carlin once, and he was practically heckled by audience members that were screaming out requests for their favorite routines, such as "Seven Dirty Words."

I tend to find jokes less funny after multiple times, but I'll listen to a favorite song many times.

George Carlin as weatherman:

- The forecast for tonight is dark. Changing to widely scattered light in the morning.

Funny the first few times. After that, not so much.

George Carlin.......If you drive to slow, you're a moron. If you drive to fast, you're an idiot.

If you'll forgive me for making a minor clarification on this quote, it's all relative to ME!

"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"

Sure have!

I know there are a lot of George Carlin fans but in truth a lot of his routines were not all that funny...people laughed at a lot of his bits simply because it was "funny" to hear them spoken aloud...the same way people laugh when someone farts...

I've always been a fan of Johnny Carson but something that always irked me was the fact (I've said this before) Carlin a notorious pot/drug user was a common guest on his show...yet Carson refused to have Cheech Maron or Tommy Chong on...

I liked Carlin, Johnny, and Cheech & Chong. I am guessing that Johnny (his show/his choice) decided (reputation/business decision) that C & C were way too overt about promoting an illegal substance. My :2cents:

I've never been big on comedians, and never saw the humor of Carlin or Cheech and Chong.
As for repetition of songs; after hearing them over and over again for the last 50 years they all get old.
I've never been a George Thoroughgood fan and thought he only had 3 songs to his name. A couple of weeks ago I heard something which wasn't "bad to the bone" or "One Bourbon..." and realized for the first time that he's actually a pretty talented musician.

As a young catholic I think I liked that routine above all elses of C&C!

I'm guessing that was +/-40 years ago?

In the early/mid '80s I worked with a guy who, when the forecast was brought up would reply in similar fashion. Though as I remember it, his version was more like "Dark overnight, with increasing light throughout the morning"... Then again, it WAS a long time ago, and my memory is not what it used to be (just ask my wife if you don't believe me).
