FIY Intelligence and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is devided into many parts, and it varies depending on the scales you use. What you state Carlin has lots of (knowledge) is ONE out of many parts, this is actually the smallest part of the other parts, which include spatial thinking, abstract reasoning, application of knowledge, language, problem solving, analytical skills, and general reasoning, among others...

True he wasn't accused. Because Bill Hicks wasn't too mainstream, so no-one compared them. For your convenience there is a comparison video already on youtube :) They both influenced each other, but Hicks hadn't heard about carlin when he did standup as a 15 year old in Houston.

Yes he was a legend. He was never accused of stealing jokes, and delivered comedy that wasn't really invented yet. He was much smarter than you, even if you listen to some of his material, its pure genius. His IQ was definetly up there. He had vast knowledge in almost every category there is. Math, History, Science, Language (especially english). There's no way you would even come close..sorry

Legend? hardly. Legend status is POUNDED for stealing jokes!! Bill Hicks was more of a legend. Carlin was just more mainstream, trying to suck up to the audience. Bill spoke from the roots of his heart.
There are different types of smarts. I'd bet he beat me in a "Yo Momma" episode, but not necessarily an IQ test...

Dude he was a legend. How could you even argue? He was rated second best comedian ever right behind Richard Pryor. He was old, but MUCH smarter than you and I will ever be. Well especially you.

many comedians laugh sometimes at their own jokes/stories, or they simply laugh at the audiences reaction

Why the hate on Jerry? He is Hilarious, along with Chappelle, but seriously, you can not compare them, think about there 2 styles, Chappelle is just random things, this guy..laughs at his own jokes, storytelling and what not.
Think about it

Fuck Chapelle, and fuck this jeremy guy. I never said I even like Jeremy Nutz. My favorite comedian is/was the great George Carlin. No one, not even Pryor came close. |
