Anything from George Carlin is phenomenal. I think he's the greatest of all time. Smarter, quicker, sharper, more well structured, more relateble and agreeable than almost any other comic I've encountered.
My favorite CD release from him is probably Jammin' In New York.
I actually wondered if your avatar was Carlin? Looks like a younger pic, but too small to be for sure.
Tis indeed George Carlin. And yep, probably from the mid to late 70's. I suppose I'm still young enough to have "heroes" and he's one of them.
Firesign Theatre was one of those acts like Monty Python and National Lampoon that a lot of people had in their vinyl collections when I was a little kid. And from the little that I heard of them they seem to be very funny. I need to check them out more. I just remember little bits and pieces that i heard. And I remember many of the album covers of Firesign theater and National Lampoon albums.
or even better The Pick of Billy Connolly, my fav comedian.

Revolutionised stand-up comedy in Britain in the same way George Carlin and Richard Pryor did in America
Andreas Dorau und Holger Hiller - Guten Morgen Hose
Postmodernism does Dada Avantgarde Comedy with Emulator use - from 1984 - Maybe even funny when you don't understand a word in german. _________________ "But really, the thing that propels me through music is the emotional reality of it."

I've never heard any parody group on remotely the same level as this. So good. Probably best to watch the tv series, but works really well on record as well.
This is the greatest father and son song I've ever heard!
This album is actually doing better on BEA than I expected-sneaking into the top 20,000! More than a comedy album: it's a mix of funny little parlour songs, stories and poems. It's really hilarious and has a brilliant perspective.
