Summary: Irony and Satire: Barbara Shepherd and Dave Shepherd try to avoid speaking sarcastically to each other as they explore irony and satire. This week’s topic was suggested by Abbie G., a smart 9th-grader. Ironically, this show ended up being rated “R” and given an explicit tag. (Sorry, Abbie!) (2:08) Dave and Barbara just attended the show awarding the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, honoring the late George Carlin. Carlin was a master of American satire. This show will air on PBS on April 1, 2009. (2:40) Comedy as a culturally-specific phenomenon; the two careers of George Carlin (7:00) Music bumper from “Baja Taxi” by Brain Buckit (18:59) Carlin’s famous “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television”; Lewis Black and censorship at the Kennedy Center (21:15) Is George Carlin the modern Mark Twain? (27:13) Song: “Chiron Beta Prime” by Jonathan Coulton (32:18) Rude Word of the Week: “genius” (35:07) Music bumper from “Round One” by Evan Tate. (38:30) Parody vs. satire: Mad Magazine, Weird Al Yankovic, and Saturday Night Live’s take on Sarah Palin (39:10) Music courtesy of The Podsafe Music Network Theme music by Kick the Cat Closing theme from “Grapes” by Evan Stone time: 48:18 size: 44.2 Mb rating: R (It is impossible to talk about the work of George Carlin without talking about “forbidden” words–and we use a couple of really taboo words several times. Once again, apologies, Abbie!) httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCljFYn3zTY George Carlin and his great “Modern Man” routine (This routine is perfectly clean and a brilliant display of American English.)
