Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics (Atlantic, 1990) by George Carlin

The highlight of this album is Mr. Carlin's ability to dissect and analyze language.  "Offensive Language," Rape Can Be Funny," "They're Only Words" and "Euphemisms" are all just as thought-provoking as they are humorous.  The latter especially investigates changes in American words and jargon then correlates it to changing sensibilities in people and culture.  Although not as much abut social commentary or even jokes, Parental Advisory still proves that George Carlin is one of the smartest and most well-spoken motherfuckers ever.
