When will Jesus bring the pork chops? by George Carlin

When will Jesus bring the pork chops? by George Carlin is a collection of material from this comedian. Some of this stuff is straight from his more recent HBO shows. Other bits I think probably didn't make the original cut so they ended up here. There's some good stuff but mostly it's pretty mediocre. Carlin seems to have fallen into the trap that violent imagery equals better satire. He's at his best when talking about societal foibles and euphemisms/politically correct language. The more weaker sections are invariably short fictional scenes or conversations which just don't seem to work for some reason.

Recommended only for a Carlin completest.

Is available through Abebooks.
