Free-Floating Hostility | George Carlin | Back in Town (1996)

Legendary comedian George Carlin gets a few things off his chest in this bit from his HBO stand-up special Back in Town. Carlin never holds back, and in this piece in particular he unleashes on all things that bore him, tire him or just plain piss him off from air quotes to water bottles and men's earrings to politicians.

Growing up in New York City, George Carlin was always the class clown. He went on to become one of the greatest comedians of all time, with appeal that spans generations. Carlin was the first-ever host of NBC’s Saturday Night Live. Back in Town aired as a live broadcast from New York City’s Beacon Theater and features Carlin’s trademark acerbic observations on topics such as abortion, capital punishment, familiar expressions and bodily functions. Classic routines “Sanctity of Life,” “State Prison Farms,” “Free-Floating Hostility” and more are included in this hysterical stand-up comedy performance.

George Carlin described his comedy as focusing on 3 things: love of language and how we use it; the small things, moments we all share as humans; and the big topics of our culture—war, death, children, religion, etc. A social commentator, he challenged conventional wisdom and brought us face-to-face with our ingrained hypocrisies. There was no topic off limits to his keen observation, wordplay, goofy jabs and rants, whether it was drugs, war, politics, the accumulation of stuff or the way in which we use words.
