    George had a ton of memorable routines, but THIS is the classic among classics.

      It's interesting how that you still can't say all 7 of these words on network tv; with the exception of cable tv. lol

      RIP George!

          Yeah, Carlin was hillarious. He made me laugh so much my sides would hurt. I remember having an 8 track tape of him doing his routines and LMAO rolling down the road in my 18 wheeler.

          Thanks for the memories y soitenly.

            It was controversial material.

            "Carlin was arrested on July 21, 1972 at Milwaukee's Summerfest and charged with violating obscenity laws after performing this routine. The case, which prompted Carlin to refer to the words for a time as, "The Milwaukee Seven", was soon dismissed; the judge declared the language indecent, stating that the language was indecent but cited free speech, as well as the lack of any disturbance.

            In 1973, a man complained to the FCC that his son had heard a later routine, "Filthy Words"... Pacifica received a citation from the FCC, which sought to fine Pacifica for violating FCC regulations which prohibit broadcasting "obscene" material.

            The Supreme Court upheld the FCC action, ruling that the routine was "indecent but not obscene", and the FCC had authority to prohibit such broadcasts during hours when children were likely to be among the audience."
