OK, I grew up with George Carlin. When I was about 14 we got the album (yes, vinyl LP) of him doing the seven words you cannot say on TV. So I’ve always been a fan (I’d love to quote here, but I’m sure to offend someone).

If you are inclined, here’s Wired’s obit and here’s a good YouTube video of a post “seven words” comedy routine.

But for the record, he says more than seven words that you can’t say on TV…

    My wife and I saw him in Las Vegas several years back. We were looking forward to seeing him as we were fans of most of his work, stand-up and otherwise. Unfortunately, based on that stand-up routine, it seems as though he became a lot more bitter in his later years. We were disappointed because much of his routine was angry & bitter rather than actually funny.
