Overview

Carlin returns to the stage in his 13th live comedy stand-up special, performed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City for HBO®. His spot-on observations on the deterioration of human behavior include Americans’ obsession with their two favorite addictions - shopping and eating; his creative idea for The All-Suicide Channel, a new reality TV network; and the glorious rebirth of the planet to its original pristine condition - once the fires and floods destroy life as we know it.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A fierce, unflinching tirade against human folly and consumer culture, delivered with dark humor and apocalyptic swagger. Carlin dissects civilization's absurdities with the contempt of a prophet watching his warnings come to pass.
