This clip is funny, but it's not his best work. I prefer his later stuff, when he really tears into religion and politicians.

This was network TV in the mid-70s, so he was restricted in what he could talk about. His later work was on cable networks, so he had free rein on both language and topics he could cover. Without Carlin and Lenny Bruce, we never would have had Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, or Bill Maher today....
@TomMcGiverin Yeah, you can't say "the 7 words you can't say on TV" on TV.
@Flyingsaucesir Yeah, he came up with that one..
@TomMcGiverin His work on television led to his bit about 7 words you can't say on television...
To me, he was always funny, the difference was that later in his career, he talked about politics and the system, which to most people, isn't as funny...
