George Carlin changes his act by bringing politics into the act, but also talks about the People he can do without, Keeping People Alert, and Cars and Driving part 2.
A solid Carlin stand-up special showcasing his increasingly sharp political edge and signature observational wit. Carlin's performance is the clear standout — his timing, language, and persona are exceptional, earning a high acting mark. The cinematography is standard multi-camera concert footage with little distinction. The material, while strong, is part of Carlin's ongoing evolution rather than a radical departure, placing Novelty in the middle. The structure follows a standard stand-up format without a particularly memorable closing bit to elevate the Ending above average.
