George Carlin’s stuff routine

In 1986, George Carlin first performed his “stuff” routine for Comic Relief, humorously telling us the hard truth about the things in our homes. There are some choice words in the video clip, so if you are sensitive to harsh language or at work where other people can hear sounds from your speakers, you may not want to click on the link. However, if you’re up for some Friday humor, here is George Carlin on “stuff.”

Thank you to The Excellent Adventure for reminding us of this great sketch.

    My husband and I often quote this bit when we look at the couple of boxes that haven’t been unpacked in the last THREE moves.

    I love this routine. It so rings true. Actually, I even have it on my MP3 player. Just never get tired of it. :)

    I saw this at it’s original broadcast, and I have never forgotten it. I’ve wanted to search for it, but never had the time, too much stuff to do! As has been mentioned already, it’s so damn funny, because it’s so damn true. Thanks, I needed that!
