Pat Condell is a dick. When I was 25 and a militant atheist/anarchosyndicalist, I woulda thought a video like this was just great. But nowadays he just comes across as an angry, grumpy old man. Grandpa Simpson at his worst, except not funny.
This is actually one of his better videos because unlike a couple of others I've seen ("Ban the Burqua" and "Wake Up, America!") at least this one is not filled with inaccuracies, misperceptions, ignorance, paradoxes and inconsistencies. I can't really take him to task for content here, like in his other videos, but I still think he's being a dick.
As for the George Carlin thing, I'm somewhere in the middle in that I don't think Carlin's material is as great as many do, but he could be damn funny at times, and it was pretty cutting-edge shit when it was new (not that I'm old enough to remember when it was new-- just sayin). But hopefully we can all agree that this guy isn't nearly as funny as Carlin-- not by a fuckin longshot.
I preferred his stuff when he got older, where he became more jaded and bitter; I love the 'kids with goofy names" stand up:
