Things like this have always made me wonder what possessed him to choose some of his other roles, such as the altruistic character he played in the Bill and Ted movies or the conductor on the children's program Thomas the Tank Engine (although I never actually watched any of the train show - maybe it was just billed as kids' fare and in reality was infinitely more warped). I think that's what drew me to George Carlin, though; as acerbic and twisted as he could be you could tell that at his core he was just a big softie. Odd combination, but it worked.
