just give your man a little push push in the touch touch. give him a little a tarry. my whole comedy career i've been told to be less dirty and i would be more work if i toned it down a little bit. and it's crazy to me like the high brow publication like the new yorker would be interested in interviewing me why i find it funny to butt finger a man. >> i don't think there is subject off limits. >> i did that joke? alabama, three red necks met me after the show, hey, buddy, come here. hey, buddy, we are christians, we don't like what you said. i said then forgive me. what we consider offensive or blue evolves with every generation. >> with vaudeville, for the first time comedy becomes an industry. >> poor father, he died of

throat trouble. they hung him. >> vaudeville is created commercially to clean up humor. there is no cursing. there is no blasphemy. why? they want men, women and children to be able to come there. they want a bigger audience. ♪ >> if vaudeville did something on stage that was objectionable, they would send a blue envelope backstage with the material they wanted exerciscised from their . so that became the whole idea of that phrase blue material. >> say good night. >> good night. >> thank you. >> so you had vaudeville comedy accessible to all. but at the same time concurrently you had another style of comedy that was a little bit different.

indecent and in vision of his privacy and shouldn't be subjected to that. >> those are not seven words you can't say on television. he put those words together because of the rhythm. because of the way they sounded and because of the routine. and instantly it goes into the court record. and the fcc, everybody pretends that these are the actual words. he created the very battle that was fought against him. >> the federal communications commission said that new york's wbai was wrong in playing the record. though the fcc imposed no punishment immediately. and the supreme court agreed. >> i was raised at a time when using bad language was associated with people of low intelligence. and he helped break that stereotype for me. >> carlin, even as a bit, no such thing as bad words. there is bad intentions but there is not bad words. so that was freedom. >> as soon as something is desensitized then it becomes normal. then when it becomes the normal
