Review of George Carlin: Jammin' in New York

George Carlin has only become more angry and bitter, making his comedy all the more funny. It also makes his comments on humanity, such as the state of the earth, all the more insightful and cutting. You can hear a pin drop during some of this show, people are not sure if it is safe to laugh. The best comedians can do this. The heavy war and earth stuff is counterweighted with lighter fare such as the stupidity of airline safety speeches. The golf course jokes are somewhere in between. Take this and Robin Williams joke about drunk Scotts creating golf to truly revel in the inanity of the most frustratingly boring sport ever imagined. George Carlin isn't for everyone, the old structure loving will be unpleased, but he is an intelligent man who is one of the most consistently amusing and relevant comics in the mainstream.
