  • video was posted in 2007... 153,436 views... why aren't people listening to the TRUTH?

  • Georgie and Billy. R.i.P <3

  • That is the point of art. If he makes you laugh, he's done his job. If he makes you cry, he's done his job. If he pisses you off, he's done his job & hopefully given you some insight to a point of view you wouldn't have otherwise realised.

  • this guy is gonna kill me someday

    my stomache hurts

  • Hey everybody check out Jim Jeffries. He's one of the few that could be considered "carrying the torch" that Bill left when he passed away. There will never be another like Hicks. He was truly in a league of his own.

  • @SecretAgent068 GO FUCK THE PANDA!!!! Jeffries is hilarious

  • I've lived right outside of Nashville all my life and I can tell you that people are stupider here than Bill lets on, in all honesty. Hell, most can't even tell you the difference between "then" and "than", not to mention that it exists right in the middle of the Brainwa-, I mean, the Bible Belt.

  • I don't understand why people start to edit images of Bill Hicks through his performances...?

    It doesn't add anything, and it aint bringing him back.

  • @BlatendCrude That's how the shows are. That's how they were released.

  • @BlatendCrude That stuff is actually in the original print of this. It was intended in the production. I've got an old copy on VHS and it's all there.

  • Ever notice how when he says something dumb he does it in the southern accent?

  • @jessemaurais well he is from the south and the part of this routine takes place in the south, so.......

  • Bill Hicks never pissed me off

  • @apocalyticbliss do they?  Carlin did, hicks speaks the truth but its rarely funny. I respect hicks, i just dont think he's very original or funny.

  • @FullyAutoMathmatics Not original? Then start picking his jokes apart and tell me where you've heard them.

  • Comment removed

  • u sure turquoise?

  • @turquoisecowboy really? I thought a comedian was supposed to make ppl laugh but what do i know im only a fucking comedian

  • @FullyAutoMathmatics The most effective comedians use comedy to spread truth.

  • ""Ok subscribe to my channel and i will subscribe to yours and will spread the Truth like a disease .

    Vote for the truth . ""

  • @Allseeingeye2013 how about i infect you with AIDS and you spread that like a disease?

  • Im so high right now and

    2:29

    tripped me the fuck out

  • I gotta say i find his stand up pretty boring, unoriginal, and unfunny. Ive watched a few of his videos and he basically just tears down stupid shit that everyone hates. The fact that ppl consider him some kind of legend says alot about how stupid ppl are. George carlin is a legend, this guy sucks

  • @FullyAutoMathmatics It's not his fault you missed the point. Carlin had respect for Hicks BTW.

  • @FullyAutoMathmatics If you don't like him, fine but he didn't just make jokes about things that everybody hates. He made jokes about religion, abortion and evolution, and he made those jokes in rural places in Texas. He hardly went for the mainstream topics.

  • @FullyAutoMathmatics Really? I mean, you're entitled to your opinion, but you don't find him funny at all? If you like George Carlin I'm surprised you don't like Bill Hicks. George Carlin tore down that same "stupid shit that everyone hates." Both of them used their wit as a weapon to tear down bullshit and spread truth to the world. That's what a comedian is supposed to do.

  • @FullyAutoMathmatics troll harder

  • 7:44 FUNNY

    "Maybe you were concieved with a weak sperm or something. Maybe your dad was jacking off and your mom sat on it at the last second."

  • this Man is a legend 

  • hahahaha

  • DIRT! For sale.

  • @EtherHunt We know you don't think so...

  • the guy yelling yes at 4:42 FTW

  • Lol pretty genius. 

  • @EtherHunt Right smarty whos your pic Dane Cook? U need to go shovel some of that special fertilized dirt right into your ignorant hole to fill it in. Fkn Hipster....

  • Genius !

  • @504pro learning ucc code n shit. what about yous.

  • i just could not laugh at the dirt joke because theres special fertilized dirt and nshit but anyways. hes no genius, you guys need to stop thinking your smart.

  • Geezus. Starbucks Trenta much?

  • Bill Hicks was a genius. He did what geniuses cant do because thats what he did. Talent is to me at least a direction to which a person applies their mind. Bill Hicks applied his mind to comedy and was the funniest mofo I have ever witnessed . Let the LOL be the measure of his genius. Thats what he did.

  • Of course he was a genius. Where else does talent come from. What genius can do what he did?. Can a genius do what he did?. Well we know one part of that question to be true. The other debatable. So I will go with Bill on this one. The man was a mofo genius, and the biggest LOL I know.

  • He was on fire in this one

  • epic is too weak of a word for Bill Hicks

  • i know it sounds horrible and stupid, but kinda i hate him for dieing. Because he was so damn great and he just left us so early

  • "I'm just skin-covered coffee right now" ... I love this guy.

  • did he die because of smoking ?

  • @alabader741

    He died because that's what organisms do.

  • @CandidCocoa from the first glance i thought you said "ORGASM" LOL

  • @alabader741 this show was his first one clean after years of being a very heavy drinker. it is all in the new doc american: the bill hicks story....a must see if you like his work.

  • @warrxd You are a bowel movement

  • @LiteralKa Having a solid opinion does NOT make you a genius

  • @YouCube7 dude was doing stand up in an adult club to sell outcrowds and he was only 16. what were you doing at 16?

  • @504pro Talented? yes. genius? no

  • @YouCube7 dont hate, not cool......never did answer my question. completely avoided it which to me means, nothing....so shut up. :0)~

  • so good. glad he's not alive to see larry the cable guy, jeff dunham and carlos mencia making a killing out here.

  • 666 likes, yay!

  • carlin and hicks always kicked it to us straight. no bullshit.

  • @70909randomstuff carlin cant touch hicks though.

  • I've never been genuinely sad over a celebritie's death until i heard of Bill :*(

  • do you get the impression that the audience are going "ah dont know what he's sayin but it sounds smart, an thats funny!"

  • The Late Prophet Bill Hicks

  • "Serious pockets of humanity". A poet if there ever was one.

  • "girls evolve quicker than guys".. I wonder what he meant by that.. Maybe he was suggesting that girls go through puberty much quicker and grow boobs and what not.

  • @Zerrith i think he obviously knows that girls dont evolve faster, it was a joke. Nobody laughed though as you probably noticed... dumb crowd. He meant she was mutated.

  • @yours12342 No, I don't think he was insinuating she was mutated. Girls mature faster than guys, so maybe they evolve faster too? At any rate, it was just a passing comment.

  • i hope i can use the book joke on someone moron on a plane some day. that would be EPIC!

    BIll Hicks FTEW

  • it's just so unfair that we lost such a genius and now we're stuck with freaking jersey shore and extra lame television.

  • people can only be fully behind bill hicks or hating him

  • LOL amazing

  • best

  • he was just about 24 i believe

  • Mr Roboto...lol that's right, you be real proud of that...but goddamn truth hurts doesn't it!!!!

  • i understand most of his jokes but i didn't get any idea from this video except for that thing with the book

    (i speak spanish)

  • god, he was so young and talented.

  • The anti-intellectualism didn't start in 1980- go back a bit further in US history Bill.

  • the truth

    

  • The Related Video's section is full of Bill Hicks videos... and one video called "World's smallest pistol"... is this a test?

  • "Not a thumb between 'em, Goddamnit! What are the odds of that?"

  • If Bill Hicks pisses you off, then he succeeded and is laughing at you now. : )

  • murcans! i love it!

  • I have 'IT'S JUST A RIDE' burnt on my back in black ink. Bill's gonna be on my body until the worm licks my bones. Funny material and laughter will be dubbed in later :-)

  • best part is the women in the audience going "yeah" at "girls evolve quicker right". good thing we got smart people in the audience appreciating this man

  • Th best!!

  • MrRoboot81 : you idiot?

  • @bjav

    I think you missed the sarcasm.

  • @MrRoboto81 I think the sarcasm missed you

  • @Jeebaah

    I guess

  • Legend!!!!!! Wish i had got the chance to meet this great man! Ideal dinner guest!!

  • hahaha I love the ending

  • One word... Masterful.

  • @Heeey333: it has nothing to do with anger, while it has everything to do the way this society works...Especially Carlin became a preacher from humorist, or better to say - he had a lot to say about how this society works and guess what, he was right in most of his arguments...as an european i am freakend to see that many folks from USA usually didn't understand him...

    open your eyes and try to see things as they are, establish some questionable doubt and you may understand them...

  • @naceks Right on man.

  • love him

  • dont use dave chapelle and bill hicks in the same sentence

  • @Androg Chapelle is worthless compared to Hicks.

  • @HalloFusilli yeah. chapelle is black.

  • @HalloFusilli

    Eh, Chappelle's about as smart a comedian as you'll find. I don't know if you've seen some of his more insightful post-meltdown interviews or not, but he's a lot more intelligent than his pop/run-of-the-mill comedy tours and his show would suggest. It's partially why he couldn't go through with the "sweet deal" he was being given by Comedy Central and Hollywood as a whole.

  • @HalloFusilli Don't say that. Chapelle is awesome. There's no need to diss him just because you relate to Hicks better.

  • @HalloFusilli No they're both pretty great. don't hate appreciate. Now Cook, there's a worthless motherfucker.

  • @Natendo64 My god. I loose half my brain cells every time I listen to that man. If I listen to him again, I'll have none left. I really don't get what people see in his routine.

  • @Natendo64  The only reason cook has gotten as far as he has is because of his delivery. Which is really all it seems to take these days to make it in comedy. Have a funny cadence to your routine. GOLD. When you take away his delivery. all you have is a douchebag maundering on about koolaid and kicking down doors. -_-

  • @HalloFusilli c'mon, don't touch Dave, he's not Bill's level, but still, they're all great

  • Bill Hicks and George Carlin, 2 great American wisemen. May they rest in peace.

  • @marcusgrimmm

    Nevermind America, 2 of the greatest people to grace this earth.

  • they both died bitter and angry, that's not very wise.

  • If by wise you mean blissfully ignorant, no they weren't wise.

  • thats pretty presumptuous to say that, if anything they might of been frustrated that people weren't getting it.

  • That they didn't accept there unoriginal and pseudo intellectual paranoid cynicism?

  • @Heeey333

    You prefer comedians like Dane Cook who prance around on stage like fairies and tell cock jokes?

  • What? Bill Hicks, Dave Chappelle, and Daniel Tosh are the types of comedians I like.

  • @Heeey333

    Chapelle and Tosh are funny, but I wouldn't put them on the same level as Hicks or Carlin.

  • They are just as good, it's just that Hicks and Carlin has about 40 more years of being around and receiving awards.

  • @Heeey333 daniel tosh is a satanic cock sucking corporate whore

  • @hybrid212 lol at ""satanic".

  • @Heeey333

    And you were in full understanding of their conscience when they died?

  • nevermind , you arent apathetic, you are just a fucking smile on a meatsack. your too fucking dumb to be apathetic. you ever been old???

  • @Heeey333 Again; You speak of their outlook when they met the end of their time here as you were aware of how they felt about it; What you perceive to be dark content doesn't necessarily imply that they were bitter about their lives.

    Do a little research and read a biography or two before posting uninformed presumptions.

  • There not "uninformed presumptions"... I've seen/read both of there stand ups, and as they got older they became less about humor and more about ranting and anger. It's not that hard to read another human being, as a human being. It's not scientific.

  • @Heeey333 George Carlin was as funny in 1980 as he was in 2005; His content did get a little darker but you clearly know very little about him.

    As for Bill; His content was dark for a very long time; He hated society for reasons similar to George.

    As I said; Uninformed presumptions. Content used on stage *IS NOT* an accurate representation of someones outlook on their own life. While they are not mutually exclusive using that as the only thing for your argument makes you look like a jackoff.

  • better than being an ignorant apathetic fuck like you sound like you plan to be

  • @marcusgrimmm I don't care how old Carlin was...he died too soon...

  • Comedian? No

    Prophet

  • 2:33, he sounds exactly like Hank Hill.

  • i would speed just to be pulled over by aircraft

  • And oh, what a heavy burden that is.

  • Hicks was different league...

  • Faultless 'script', faultless timing, great heart, the best no less!

  • I live in TN.. get me the fuck out of here.

  • @Ievolovel takes hicks example:

    get on your hands and knees and pray every day for an abduction of any sort.

  • I'm right on the TN/VA border. I feel your pain.

  • These days any comic with "truth" has too make sure at least a third of his set cia braingarbge. i.e. Michal Jackson jokes, Bill Clinton getting a blowjob or stories about dating. think Lewis Black, Just when he starts getting somewhere he goes into the weather. How cold it is.

  • They don't allow them now and they stop allowing him then. He got lanked from Letterman. then TOLD to pull him. At least we got YouTube. All 70,ooo of us. Then again how many of us have watched this twice, three times? All 25,000 of us in the audience! On Letterman 20x that many people might see him. In One Night! Bill's no threat to the man here.

  • Hahaha "You were goin' 300MPH Buddy! What the hell you doin'?! "

  • why do so many of his videos have those creepy black and white fade in things?

  • dude!? for that time...way ahead of everyone else. comics make these kind of jokes NOW

  • Greatest comic ever.

  • TOTALLY ARGREE!

  • Lmao DIRT!!!!! ...forsale

  • Sane man tour 1988 or so, been released on video and dvd as far as I know....

  • What show is this and where can I find the rest?

  • Does anybody know when was shit shot? Again, shot not published...

  • 1989

  • Bill Hicks was obviously a god-hating commie terrorist who did too much thinking.

    How dare he tell the truth? We're 'MURICANS, and proud to be stupid!

    ahyuk ahyuk ahyuk....

  • Comment removed

  • Apparently someone missed the sarcasm in my post.

  • Oeps, sorry mate

  • @MrRoboto81 What a fucktard you are. XD

  • @MrRoboto81 Too much thinking by Bill Hicks or not enough thinking by you?

  • @mosesmalone4711 or you?

  • @MrRoboto81 you just became my pal.

  • @MrRoboto81

    Out of curiosity, do you have a tally of the comments which have proved your point?

  • @MrRoboto81 There's no such thing as too much thinking.

  • @AthenaHueber lol it depends on who is doing the thinking if its bush doing the thinking then yes there to much thinking from him lol.stay cool my friend all the best

  • Words Of Wisdom!

  • @MrRoboto81 Lol hopeless Muricans...

  • i know bill wouldnt want the featured vid to be for a gun. fyt

  • "maybe you where conceived with a weak sperm, maybe your dad was jacking off and your mum sat on it at the last second"

    fucking brilliant!

  • I'm just skin covering coffee right now.

  • The greatest comedian ever.

  • Im sure if Bill were alive today, he would apologise to you Aidan, for his common speech and lower strata use of the English language. A thousand apologies, on his behalf.

  • thehumanstig1's post makes me think of aristotle's cave or whoever the fuck talked about it....

    everyones down there seein nothin but shadows while you've gone out and explored a bit. its wild out there, maybe a little scarey. well you go back down to help them out but they just stare at you. well you can help them out with patience and compassion... but smokin weed with em i think would "accelerate" the process.

  • Thanks. It's in Plato's Republic somewhere. The Myth of the Cave. Bill Hicks always does a great job. Hi everybody!

  • I know wer ya comin from it like its a fuckin crime to even talk about somthing important and they look at u as if ur a fucking dog and they start talking about east enders or just laugh and say stupid things well im fuckin fed up with people that think dumb is cool

  • What your reading for? Answer, didnt need to read coz he knew without reading. But problem was that he didnt knew that he know.

  • when hes talkn about readn I can Relate he should try living in scotland its a fuckin crime to read and a requirement to be a fuckwit

  • For anyone talking about the banning of smoking in public places. I think it's the right thing to do, if it can cause health hazards to the people around you in a public place that is supposed to be safe for everyone than it definitely intrudes on your personal space. I'm all for legalization of drugs but for your own personal use in your home or hell anywhere outside. But when it comes to public indoor places its not fucking cool to force an uncomfortable environment on people.

  • and yet its still ok to be a retard in public

    damn shame
