About this product

Product Information

On the heels of George Carlin's #1 New York Times bestseller Napalm & Silly Putty comes When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? --infused with Carlin's trademark irreverent humor and biting cultural observations. Here we go again . . . George Carlin's hilarious When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? offers his cutting-edge opinions and observational humor on everything from evasive euphemistic language to politicians to the media to dead people. Nothing and no one is safe Despite the current climate of political correctness, Carlin is not afraid to take on controversial topics: Carlin on the media: The media comprises equal parts business, politics, advertising, public relations, and show business. Nice combination. Enough bull for Texas to open a chain of branch offices. Carlin on the battle of the sexes: Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid. Carlin on hygiene: When did they pass a law that says the people who make my sandwich have to be wearing gloves? I'm not comfortable with this. I don't want glove residue all over my food; it's not sanitary. Who knows where these gloves have been? Carlin on evasive language: Just to demonstrate how far using euphemisms in language has gone, some psychologists are now actually referring to ugly people as those with "severe appearance deficits." Hey, Doctor. How's that for "denial"? Carlin on politics: No self-respecting politician would ever admit to working in the government. They prefer to think of themselves "serving the nation." To help visualize the service they provide the country, you may wish to picture the things that take place on a stud farm. The thinking person's comic who uses words as weapons, Carlin puts voice to issues that capture the modern imagination. For instance, why are there Ten Commandments? Are UFOs real? What will the future really be like? This brand-new collection tackles all that and more. In When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? Carlin's razor-sharp observations demolish everyday values and leave you laughing out loud--delivering exactly what his countless fans have been waiting for.

    GEORGE

    George Carlin is the consummate thinkers comedian, he takes everyday nomenclature, situations, idioms, political correctness, names, surnames, race, religion, sex, oddities, weird observations, crime, deviants, bodily functions, sores, scabs, lice, animal kingdom, Presidents, war, laughter, snot, bad words, the FCC, the IRS, the FBI, the CIA, the boredom of golf, homelessness, hunger, world peace, sports, sallaries, corporate bull shit, communists, capitalists, silly caucasian observations, farting, etc. and makes it all histerically funny. George Carlin has cornered the market on his humorous observations. With this purchase I now have all of his books. My experience with E-Bay thus far has been very rewarding, and thanks for your integration of SKYPE. Signed, BookSmartCharlie!

    Carlin not at his best in this one

    I am a huge fan of George and his material both the written and onstage comedy. However I gotta say this book did not surpass his previous two, which I believe were very funny and raw- two trademarks that made him stand out through out the 70's 80's and 90's. SOme of the stuff you find in this book is without a doubt funny, but I just think it was somehow leftover material from his previous work. IM not saying dont buy- buut just dont suprised if they are not as funny as his previous work. His one-liners I believe are sometimes his greatest work, gold by that very definition, IN when will jesus bring the pork chops I think he tries very hard to target certain groups and the laugh is at most sometimes just a chuckle but Im used to breaking out in extreme laughther, no such thing here.

    Carlin's Irreverent, Literate, Humor Is Ginsu Sharp

    Mark Twain said, "The secret source of humor itself is not joy, but sorrow," and George Carlin, in his inimitable fashion, demonstrates Twain's point by exploring where trouble comes from and why the world is such a lousy place. While most humorists try to skewer with ice-pick wit, Carlin uses a meat ax. Using his straight-forward style, Carlin guides his readers through a murky world of language that is a much worse joke than anything he could conjure. His opening verbal slavo is worth the price of the entire book. Carlin writes about insurrections, stupidities, political crises, civil disturbances, and other human folly because it's fun. Hilarious from start to finish, Carlin's literary genius drips from every page. While his outrageous, irreverent humor is not for the faint of ...

    Nice read

    The offbeat, brilliant mind of George Carlin shines through. If you like getting to the basics of language and human thought then this one is for you. He had a way of telling a story, that when finished you are saying to yourself, "I knew that, but he says it funnier". I am passing this book on to others so that they too can get a laugh and think a little deeper.
