You must be just a kid Doug:)  
 
Vaudville is "old"... or radio - Benny, Burns,
Hope... 

I liked Carlin's stuff - if he used that phrase I
suspect he was taking
off on it too.

It was the "like, you know" combination that I
thought was a more recent
and overly used turn of phrase. 

That beign said, obviously Rebbekah think's it is
funny and probably DOESN"T talk like that :)
