Whether you are on the right or the left, you can’t argue with George Carlin’s humor. (Ok, if you are on the right, you probably have a harder time finding the humor.) But regardless of where you stand, George Carlin’s incredibly successful comedy career spanned 50 years.
He was the first host of SNL, he guest hosted for Carson, he was present at Lenny Bruce’s arrest for obscenity, and went to jail for refusing to show his ID, telling them that he did not believe in government issued IDs. Carlin was the last of the “Damn-the-Man” political humorists that were abundant in the 1960s; he took having balls to an epic level.
All in all, George Carlin kicked ass. He gets his last word in once more with the release of his new book Last Words.
Started in 1993 with friend Tony Hendra, his book is a collection of stories and trying times – from trouble with drugs and alcohol to his rise in comedy. When Carlin died at age seventy-one in June 2008 with the book still unpublished, Hendra set out to assemble it as his friend would have wanted. Last Words is the result.
We have an exclusive copy of the introduction of the book for COED readers here. And we will be giving away copies of the book from our Twitter feed.

I’m not what you call a sports expert. Not that I’m bad at sports (other than basketball, which I should never play, for any reason), it’s just that I’m not an expert. So take this with a grain of salt when I say, I think of these guys f**ked up. Maybe it’s just my amateur eye, but something’s wrong when this happens…
For most people, all it takes to have a bad day at work is for a close-talker to trap you by the water cooler while your lunch is getting cold. But that’s not really that bad, and neither is most of the other nonsense you have to deal with on a daily basis. No, bad is accidentally hitting the wrong pedal on your fork lift and, well, just watch this…
It’s always funny to see people you think of as complete badasses do funny stuff. Take this rendition of Lady Gaga’s hit song, “Poker Face,” as performed by Christopher Walken on BBC1. His intonation and extremely strange Queens accent just give the song a little something extra. On a side note: Is it just me, or does Christopher Walken look more and more like vampire as time goes on? Maybe he is a vampire. That would be an awesome surprise…
All I’m going to say is, if you’re going to snoop around like a cat burglar, it’s probably a good idea to have some clue as to how to walk across a roof without it falling in on itself… four times! I’m mean, seriously, dude. You’re in China. They’re not exactly known for making things that last forever. If you were climbing around on the pyramids, then maybe, but this is just freakin’ ridiculous.
I ride a motorcycle to and from work everyday. And throughout my travels, the one type of drivers (besides taxi cabs) that does the dumbest, most dangerous, life-threatening sh*t more than any others on the road are BMW drivers. For whatever reason, getting behind the wheel of that car turns them into a complete asshole. But none of them even come close to pulling a dipsh*t move like this…
When guys live together during their college years (and for about a decade or so after), life involves some surprises you might not otherwise have to deal with, like drunken shamings, strange puddles, stranger smells, filth everywhere. And, last but not least, surprise spin kicks to the giant pilates ball you own for no apparent reason. Good times, friends. Good times….
I can’t really tell whether or not this video is funny, or just trying to be funny. Obviously, some silly fat guy smearing baby shampoo all over his mouth and blowing bubbles for two minutes is exactly the kind of thing the Internet loves. But if you ask me, it’s a little too good. A little too right. That doesn’t mean it’s not funny. It’s just that I think we’re all getting a bit predictable. Don’t you think?
I’ve never quite understood peoples’ desire to test Tasers or stun guns on themselves. It’s obviously something that is only going to end in pain and frustration, with a good chance of crapping your pants. So when this kid decides to test out his new stun gun on himself, it’s a pretty obvious face-palm. But that doesn’t mean it’s any less hilarious when he finds out exactly how strong his new little toy is.
Just after super hot girls in slutty costumes, people getting the crap scared out of them comes in a close second on the list of why Halloween is freakin’ awesome. So to get you in the mood for pulling heart-attack-inducing pranks on your friends and family, here are the 20 Most Hilarious Scare Videos. Believe us, by the time you’re done with this post, you’ll be hiding in a trash can, hoping you’re not about to get punched in the face. Enjoy! (more…)
