Review

With Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics, George Carlin turns in a typically entertaining of politically charged comedy album punctuated by a couple of cutting routines about personal habits and social quirks. While his humor hasn't changed dramatically since the '70s, he is still consistently funny and, occasionally, thought-provoking. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics is the twelfth comedy album of American comedian George Carlin. Most of the album comes from Carlin's seventh HBO special Doin' It Again, with some segments omitted, and others rearranged. Recorded in 1990, the opening to the HBO special features flashbacks to all previous HBO specials. The special opens with a scene in which Carlin is talking about his past specials to an unseen narrator, in the style of a patient speaking to a psychologist or counselor.

Album information

The title passes as a parental advisory label as well, due to the fact there is offensive language and content. A warning in the liner notes to the album reads:

This recording contains no backmasking or subliminal suggestions. All messages from the Devil are recorded clearly and audibly in standard American English.

Another warning states "Please do not try to commit suicide after listening to this album."

On his November 30, 1989 appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show, Carlin announced the working title for the special as You're All Mentally Ill.
