All this "Leary ripped of Hicks" crap... Yes Leary did steal material from Hicks on his first album that was released like 20 years ago. Since then he has released tons of original material, standup, songs, tv-shows etc. Its not like he has been rehashing Hicks' jokes for 20 years....and if he had done that, so what? Elvis Presley did nothing but sing covers for his whole career, but that doesn't make him any less amazing.
I think some of the people here sound like former hecklers who did not know what they were getting into. Leary is a hack. You can tell when he steals jokes when he starts spazzing out though not before he decorates the punchlines in 'his' act. If you've suffered through the "Douchebags & Doughnuts" video, Leary either has a petit mal seizure or needs serious drugs to perform. Fix your f*cking teeth Leary, you have enough ill-gotten money to do it. Foundation pfft. My ass.
It's surprising how many people are on here that support Denis Leary, calling Bill Hicks a low life. A low life wouldn't put all his sadly short life's effort into doing over 350 gigs from the ages 15-32, advocating messages that he truthfully analyzed that were blocked out in his strictly Southern-Baptist neighborhood. He chose comedy, his talent, to escape dogma effectively. There's absolutely no legit reason for anyone TO NOT want to be like Bill Hicks.Just be honest if you're trying to be.
You all fucking suck my dick. Bill Hicks blew me before he fucking died. Denis Leary RAPES Bill Hicks. Bill Hicks was a fucking shithead and he copied Leary. lol
Any guy who looks like Willem Dafoe with 70s hair but has characters on his show refer to him straight-faced as the "handsome guy" has balls as big as watermelons.
Lol he's an alcoholic, he tarnishes all of the good things Bill Hicks stood for all while stealing his bit. What in the fuck?
He steals the material yet doesn't even share the same philosophies. Fuck Denis Leary, fuck his stupid brainless fucking fans, he's just another evil sucker of Satan's COCK!
@W0BN1AR I meant he's an alcoholic while Bill was for drugs and said if he were to legalize a drug, it sure as fuck wouldn't be alcohol "There are better drugs and better drugs for you"
@W0BN1AR Please, PLEASE inform me of an illicit drug that is actually GOOD FOR YOU. Not a drug that has benefits, but one that is actually good for you. And dont say marijuana. Marijuana causes serious lung problems and causes mood disturbances.
@TonyDanza4Lyfe I don't like bill hicks because he's funny. He spoke out about a lot of issues that people we're keeping quiet about. He said stuff that people didn't want to hear. It's that reason why people worship him like a holy icon. If you support the American Foreign Policy of arming small countries then calling them a threat only to blow them up like it's a game, then move along, and don't comment anymore, please, you make me sick.
@TabobandungT hahahahahaha i make you sick? You really get that worked up over a stranger on youtube who commented on a video? You've got some big problems, bud.

@yappertrap Not a troll. Bill Hicks wasnt funny. Last I checked, a comedian's job is to be FUNNY. If you want to say "Oh he spoke on so many issues!" Ok, thats fine. Then he's a philanthropist. What is the difference between him and every other philanthropist? His job was a comedian, and he wasn't funny. There is a reason why Dennis Leary is more famous than Bill Hicks. Leary is actually funny, and the majority of people would choose him over hicks every day of the week.
guys, I love Bill Hicks, but your fucking pretentious annoying paranoid ravings are really painting an unflattering picture of his fans. I love Denis as an actor and a comedian but I admit that Bill was a better comedian. But I accept the fact that Denis is rich and successful and Bill is dead. It's sad, but it's true. Just move on.
Wow Bill Hick's fans are the most annoying fans EVER. Regardless of what happened 20 years ago, Denis has more then proven himself as a great actor/comedian/show creator over the last decade. Seriously. Move on.
of first of all, i've been watching and listening to denis leary since i was 15 years old, and until hearing all of these hateful rants, i've never even fucking heard of bill hicks. yet, i have heard of george burns, john bullosi, sam kinison red skelton and a lot of other dead comedians. think about it. if bill hicks was so damn great, why hasn't a patron of great comedians never freaking heard of him? get over it.
You know: the modern day rapper takes an old track and mixes it and puts lyrics over it and it's not viewed as stealing. Denis Leary took Hicks' TOPICS (not jokes) and made them funny and I don't see it as stealing. And you can post any argument you want but I win because Bill Hicks will still be dead.
Yea. Free beer. This is America. Derp-derp. Sigh...this is what happens when Denis Leary has cannablized all of Hicks' material until it is his own excrement of plagiarism over and over until all that's left is a silent fart. You smell the bullshit, but there's still no substance.
First off, I don't think Hicks was all THAT funny. He had good material, but I think there are a lot of comedians much more funny then that guy. I am annoyed at the Hicks fanatics acting like Hicks was a God and Leary is the worst person in the world. That said, I think Leary stole a lot from Hicks to launch himself, but has moved on from that point. If Leary ONLY stole from Hicks with nothing original, why did he move up while Hicks remained obscure right up to his death?
To say Leary stole EVERYTHING from Bill Hicks is ofcourse silly but he is known as a hack and a thief for a reason. Same thing goes for Carlos Mencia. Some argue it's just other comedians being envious of Leary's success. If so, then why aren't Dave Chappelle or Jerry Seinfeld trashed the same way?
@brando1001 IM SO FUCKING DARK AND MEAN YOU MOTHERFUCKER, ILL RIP YOUR GODAMM GUTS OUT, OUT OF YOUR FUCKING ASSHOLE . AND WRAP THEM AROUND YOUR GODDDD..... DAMMMM...... NECK
i agree he was no where near as original or real as bill hicks but you gta support these kind of comedians. just look at ppl like russell howard / russell brand these are the corporate little slags we shouldn't be listening to...
LOL I actually laugh outloud everytime i see a comment saying"bill hicks is better, denis stole his acts bla bla. " Wow shut the hell up, just because someone talk about same well known ubjects doesnt mean their stealing from another you dipshits. Hop off bill hicks dead cock and shove it in your mouth, we dont want to hear your whiney shit.
Did Leary rip off Bill Hicks? Sure did. 17 minutes-worth. 17 minutes of a career that now spans 20 years, 40 films, 6 comedy tours, 5 books, and 4 TV shows.
News flash: Bill Hicks is dead. Cancer; who'd have seen THAT coming? Calling Leary a plagiarist because he lifted material from Hicks (and not even Hicks' good material!) 20 years ago is childish BS.. Get over it, whiny f'ing maggots.
is there nothing left that people wont bitch about,like bitchin about whats on t.v. while holding the remote. if you dont enjoy his comedy why watch it dumb asses?
Dennis Leary took Bill Hicks' material and persona, made it less abrasive, then came out with No Cure For Cancer which made him famous. NONE of the 40 films, 6 comedy tours or any of that other shit would have happened if he didn't rip off Hicks. He knew it and that's why he did it. Talentless fuck.
Bill Hicks used to get silence from the audience because he had them all engaged and shocked. Denis Leary gets silence from the audience because he isn't funny.
@MetalThrashingManiac Youre completely right! Bill Hicks is funnier! Because theres nothing more funnier than a dead guy who died of cancer after he quit smoking! I'm still laughing at that one!
And ironically Learys still alive, apparently doing the same jokes what Bill did 20 years ago, now on 40 films, 6 comedy tours, 5 books, and 4 TV shows.

Hi I'm Denis Leary, thanks for interviewing me. I stole my act from Bill Hicks, unfortunately you did not interview Bill Hicks so I can't do this interview at all. God I wish I could be funny.
So, Denis Leary put on an entire stand up comedy tour comprised solely of jokes Bill Hicks had already told? You are either 8 years old or retarded. Good luck in life, my friend.
@PerverseBannana you know....not to be contrary....and i don't actually have an opinion about the whole thing....but...I don't even know who bill hicks is.....please don't flame me.
@macewindex You obviously know nothing about comedy and know nothing about giving props where it deserved. I bet that 8 year old retard would know more than you do. They dont need luck, they just need to not be around dumb fucks like yourself.
@macewindex She does do a good job. More than what I can say about your cancer-deserving dumb cunt of a mother that produced a dumb twat such as yourself
@macewindex Oh no she left them in, her teeth are real. it was your mother that had no teeth. or was that your dad, its so hard to tell the difference, they are both so damn ugly.
@macewindex i normally don't respond to utube comments... but you and everyone who agrees with what you've typed should research the story hicks and leary. leary stole hick's material and the jokes developed from that theft were really the only funny parts of the comedy special that made him famous. yes, leary can be funny sometimes and is a pretty good actor. but in this case if credit is not given where credit is due people miss out on bill fucking hicks, who was a GENIUS comedian.
i wish i had some fucking goof falling me around laughing hysterically at every piece of fucking garbage that i shat out of my mouth. he could also rub my feet and swallow my nutmilk
I belive you should be able to copywright your comedy the way musicians copywright music. Yes, Denis is a fucking theif. He is very funny acting like Bill Hicks.
You can't copyright the way you present comedy. Everyone has there style and your bound to get a lot of people that overlap in the way they are funny. Bill and Denis have the same style and both are very funny. Denis didn't steal any jokes from Bill, but happens to have the same comedic style as Bill.
I didn't realize all these 21st century youtube trolls were such close personal friends of Bill Hicks. Who gives a fuck about comedians material and who you think stole from who. I'm sure Denis Leary has read all your comments and taken your opinions into consideration. If everyone hates Leary so much why are you watching this interview.
OMG shut up about bill hicks fuckin died in '94 and No Cure came out in '93 so that's that. Ever since then Leary's gone on to star in The Ref, The Job, Rescue Me, etc and - get this - another comedy special, LOCK N' LOAD (who did he steal from in that?????)!
They're all funny. Leary, Hicks, Carlin, Bruce, Thompson, Kessler, Louis CK, etc... they all make me laugh and they all make me think. Laughing makes me happy and thinking makes me smart. I'd party with all these guys.
All he did was take Bill Hick's stuff and make it more widely understandable for dumb people. He's talking like he does edgy material :l Only the shit you took from Bill, you woulden't be getting interveiwed by Time magazine if people actually thought you spoke about fringe subjects, you dont, shut the fuck up and rim the devil you capitalist monkey, your a fucking mockery to everything Bill Hicks stood for and not a tenth of the human-being he was. Suck a large one Leary.
@Louie92801 Humanity has turned to shit, learn to use fucking adblock, stop using shit browsers without customizable features and addons you fucking mong.
Really cool guy. I LOVE the ASSHOLE Song. I am not even a tiny bit green friendly except when it is good for me. - - Yes I am and I am not even sorry.
Are you kidding me? I'm so sick of this Leary-Hick war. If you listen to the jokes side by side they are different. They were both around at the same time experiencing some of the same things they both smoked, drank, etc. Besides the rest of his stuff sounds nothing like Hicks. Leary is fucking hilarious and have you seen Rescue Me? It's an awesome show and made it to what 6 seasons now?
@dlickXmyXfick I thumbed up your comment reading your first sentence because I too am sick of this Lear-Hick war. Then you turn into a typical Leary fan trying to avoid the facts and defend Leary no matter what he does. What the hell does Rescue have to do with the fact that Leary stole his images and material from Hicks? Hicks is dead, but died just when he was breaking through. What now? Lol Oh grow up.
@ProRanting I mentioned Rescue Me in response to those saying Leary is talentless. But I'm going to stay out of this fight because I can't win. Neither will Hicks fans. Bluntly, I don't give a shit. And take that as "typical Leary fan." but this is youtube, not like my comment will change your minds.
@dlickXmyXfick dude fuuuuuuuuuuck you...you watch no cure for cancer and any given bill hicks special and you will find jokes that're exact copies..there are witnesses that watched him riff hicks jokes and asked him about it and he simply walked off without saying anything, so fuck you saying he didn't do it when you goddamnwell know he did or you're just too fucking ignorant to compare it side by side and see that the hicks fans are right..he's a hack, get over it fuck you you lose go home >.>
I hear ya man. It's like, look at Transmorphers & Transformers side by side they are different. Or Mac & Me & E.T. they are different. Or Ghoulies & Gremlins they are different. Or the bass line from Ice Ice Baby & Under Pressure they are different. Or NOVA & Halo they are different. Or Bruce Le & Bruce Lee they are different. Or Bush & Nirvana they are different. Or Creed & Pearl Jam they are different.
It's all JUST LIKE Leary & Hicks.....they are different.
Leary....kill yourself....no seriously I'm not joking.
You're a talentless hack who stole everything from the greatest comedian ever (Bill Hicks), & a disgrace to all Irish-Americans. While Bill Hicks is a shining example of Irish-Americans!
Denis Leary, please apologize for blatantly stealing material from Bill Hicks and releasing the ripped off material on CD. I find it crudely ironic that the CD was called "No Cure for Cancer", it's sad that it got the wrong man.
@scytale88 I don't care whether a comedian "steals" material if he performs it BETTER! If you're an artist, and someone covers your work and they do it better, that is not stealing!
@scytale88 I don't care whether a comedian "steals" material if he performs it BETTER! If you're an artist, and someone covers your work and they do it better, that is not stealing! It's an improvement.
i hate o say it but that hendrix t shirt is mocking hendrix its a curse this man is a wannabe and well hicks was the real deal he didnt need t shirts to proove this
He earned a cult following by stealing almost everything from Hicks...
He wasn't anything near as genious as Carlin or Hicks. If you listen to Carlin and Hicks, it sounds like they borrowed SUBJECTS, not MATERIAL. This half wit stole entire lines from Hicks and used the same scenarios but rearranged the order it was told in!
Borrowing is like a guitarist using the same scale for a solo as another guitarist, not playing the same solo over the same chords.

@MetalThrashingManiac Youre completely right! Bill Hicks is funnier! Because theres nothing more funnier than a dead guy who died of cancer after he quit smoking! I'm still laughing at that one!
And ironically Learys still alive, apparently doing the same jokes what Bill did 20 years ago, now on 40 films, 6 comedy tours, 5 books, and 4 TV shows.

Did Leary rip off Bill Hicks? Sure did. 17 minutes-worth. 17 minutes of a career that now spans 20 years, 40 films, 6 comedy tours, 5 books, and 4 TV shows.
News flash: Bill Hicks is dead. Cancer; who'd have seen THAT coming? Calling Leary a plagiarist because he lifted material from Hicks (and not even Hicks' good material!) 20 years ago is childish BS.. Get over it, whiny f'ing maggots.

@macewindex i normally don't respond to utube comments... but you and everyone who agrees with what you've typed should research the story hicks and leary. leary stole hick's material and the jokes developed from that theft were really the only funny parts of the comedy special that made him famous. yes, leary can be funny sometimes and is a pretty good actor. but in this case if credit is not given where credit is due people miss out on bill fucking hicks, who was a GENIUS comedian.

You can't copyright the way you present comedy. Everyone has there style and your bound to get a lot of people that overlap in the way they are funny. Bill and Denis have the same style and both are very funny. Denis didn't steal any jokes from Bill, but happens to have the same comedic style as Bill.

All he did was take Bill Hick's stuff and make it more widely understandable for dumb people. He's talking like he does edgy material :l Only the shit you took from Bill, you woulden't be getting interveiwed by Time magazine if people actually thought you spoke about fringe subjects, you dont, shut the fuck up and rim the devil you capitalist monkey, your a fucking mockery to everything Bill Hicks stood for and not a tenth of the human-being he was.

Are you kidding me? I'm so sick of this Leary-Hick war. If you listen to the jokes side by side they are different. They were both around at the same time experiencing some of the same things they both smoked, drank, etc. Besides the rest of his stuff sounds nothing like Hicks. Leary is fucking hilarious and have you seen Rescue Me? It's an awesome show and made it to what 6 seasons now?

@dlickXmyXfick I thumbed up your comment reading your first sentence because I too am sick of this Lear-Hick war. Then you turn into a typical Leary fan trying to avoid the facts and defend Leary no matter what he does. What the hell does Rescue have to do with the fact that Leary stole his images and material from Hicks? Hicks is dead, but died just when he was breaking through. What now? Lol Oh grow up.

He wasn't anything near as genious as Carlin or Hicks. If you listen to Carlin and Hicks, it sounds like they borrowed SUBJECTS, not MATERIAL. This half wit stole entire lines from Hicks and used the same scenarios but rearranged the order it was told in!
Borrowing is like a guitarist using the same scale for a solo as another guitarist, not playing the same solo over the same chords.
