Playin' With Your Head (1986)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Rocco Urbisci
Cast: George Carlin
Time: 57 minutes



George Carlin’s fifth HBO special starts with a skit/mini-film shot in black-and-white where the comedian plays a detective being chased by three bad guys who want to take a mysterious envelope from him. Carlin escapes by taking the stage, where he discusses such topics as various ways to say hello and goodbye, carrying love and regards for other people, sports, losing things and battered plants. Yes, battered plants.

This is a very good show, with a good pace and some very solid material. I found myself laughing out loud many times watching this material again. Carlin is the greatest of all-time and what he did and he was truly finding his rhythm at this point. It would get even better.
