Carlin combined whit and intellect to those things percieved to be crude and rude. I am using him as an influence in my work as a writer. Sexual purity or sexual "good taste" as it especially pertains to gender roles is the last bastion of ideas that needs to be comically assualted by someone with Carlin's comedic attitude.
