“Now do you see why I like it when a lot of people die,” Carlin ends the dark satire. And Uncle Dave is finally happy,” Carlin said in the comedy bit. Every week forever and ever until the end of time, Uncle Dave has a winning ticket. And each week without fail, every one of the Uncle Daves wins the lottery.

In this nirvana is where the Uncle Daves have “good jobs, perfect eyesight, brand new underwear, they all have shoes that fit perfectly, good medical plans, they all like their neighbors, and their favorite teams win the World Series every year, and none of them has a hacking cough. The hate becomes so powerful that it causes a Big Bang-esque explosion and creates a heaven-like utopia in the stars with a “million Uncle Daves.”

In the philosophical comedy routine, Carlin pointed out that a catastrophe would open a crack in the universe that brings back all the dead people including everyone’s “Uncle Dave.” All of the zombies would create a “swirling pool of hate” because they would lament how badly they were screwed over in their living years and blame everyone else for their failures.

In the 10-minute stand-up bit, Carlin talks about his love of hurricanes, earthquakes, famine, cholera, typhoid and an asteroid smashing into the Earth. In the pre-9/11 comedy special, Carlin joked about rooting for natural and manmade disasters. Carlin kept the recorded stand-up routine and labeled the cassettes as “NITE BEFORE 9/11.” The comedy special would have rightfully drawn ire if it was released anytime after the heartless attack that killed thousands of innocent Americans. But that would never happen, understandably so because the social commentary was so inflammatory, especially after the mass deaths on 9/11. 10th was supposed to be part of a new HBO special.

Again, this comedy special was recorded one day before nearly 3,000 people were killed in the September 11th terror attacks at the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and the downed airliner in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The reason for the sensitivity regarding the comedy special is because Carlin named the album I Kinda Like It When a Lotta People Die. Unfortunately for the iconic comic, he recorded the comedy special the day before the terror attacks of 9/11. On September 10, 2001, Carlin recorded a comedy album. The comedy special had such a controversial stand-up routine that even the unflinching George Carlin would not attempt to get the album released. The comedy special would not see the light of day until September 16, 2016, over eight years after Carlin died. On September 9th and 10th of 2001, George Carlin recorded a comedy special at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. But 18 years ago, stand-up legend George Carlin recorded a comedy special so controversial that it was not released to the public until after his death, eight years after taping the stand-up performance. In recent weeks, stand-up greats Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr have been criticized in the media for their latest comedy specials that have deemed to be controversial.
