George Carlin - Dirty Words

George Carlin’s “Dirty Words” (often associated with his famous “Seven Dirty Words” routine) is one of his most influential and controversial comedic pieces. In this bit, Carlin breaks down society’s obsession with “bad words,” exposing the hypocrisy behind censorship, morality, and language taboos. With sharp wit, he examines why certain words are labeled offensive while the ideas behind them—and the real harm people cause—are often ignored.

Carlin uses clever linguistic play, rapid-fire delivery, and fearless social critique to show that words themselves aren’t dangerous—people are. The routine became a landmark moment in comedy and free speech, ultimately tied to a major U.S. Supreme Court case on broadcast censorship.
