Bill Hicks - Comic Business (interview clips)

[TheUnfortunate9]

Amazing to see the raging comedians, Hicks and Carlin, offstage and quiet, urbane, mortal

[metropol77]

What a man Bill Hicks is. Even if you have old ladys in the background doing water gymnastics he still comes through as a real man. What a loss to humanity. Thank you Bill. RIP.

I think Bill went through what a lot of intellectual people went through: People just aren't ready to hear the truth so they get mad in retaliation. It's as simple as that. Every cultural breakthrough in the history of the world has been met with resistance from the status-quo-loving people you see? It's that that frustrates him... In Bill's eyes he's telling them the truth (And he IS), but the audience just thinks it's some guy talking shit, like he says in the interview.

[comedyisgreat24]

Don't be so modest Bill, people really ARE idiots, you can tell by how the world currently runs... If this is the best we could do, we must of not evolved well enough...

[neverendingriff]

And we still don't know which way its going to twist

Are we waiting for the punchline?

[MrHopeTelevision]

bill would have been great on Whose Line

[oogie11]

@MrHopeTelevision I fully agree ;)

[KyleMinns]

[marhead]

[MrLiamHenderson]

That's Clive Anderson conducting the interview. See, they really were friends.

[seekah1]

Thanks so much for upping this rarity.

[pennydesouza]

He's quite hot.

[seekah1]

@pennydesouza lol. yes, very important.

[xXxOilKingxXx]

@pennydesouza whats that? a sheep baaaaaahhinngggg in the field? get back in the herd you piece of shit and just pretend for a second you get wats going on, i can see your poker face through a keyboard

[pennydesouza]

@xXxOilKingxXx Humans exist because we find each other attractive. Enjoying this, participating in this, is one of life's great pleasures. That's all I'm doing in my comment. Why on earth are you being so aggressive?

[CanyonofStatic]

What a hero. I miss him as much as is possible to miss someone you never met.

[Hicks055]

a leader would have been better..

[indigoDroog]

his laugh was so wonderful...such a brilliant man.

why do we only lose the ones worth keeping??

[STEPASAUR]

glad to see clive anderson getting this interview right after the embarrassing first attempt, thanks for posting

[arizonabay15]

The fact that this clip still exists is amazing, someone managed to keep hold of it for 18 years and now we can all enjoy it on YouTube. But i'm still not satisfied. Can't it be in stunning HD with vivid colour? And maybe with some dancing topless models in the background?

Voting is just putting down your consent. If no one voted ever again, then we wouldn't be consenting to these greedy cocks we call 'presidents' and hopefully we would be able to realize we don't need a leader. Life has a natural order to it. you don't see animals & plants taking orders from a leader. That's because there is in fact what's known as 'order out of chaos'. But people for thousands of years have been made to believe that we need fake order & look where that has gotten us.....

[muscleoffigus]

@djda99 plenty of animals take orders from a leader

[durpdeedumb]

is there anymore of this

[sotcaadotnet]

@durpdeedumb The original broadcast of the show interspersed clips from 'Relentless', but this is all there is of the interview stuff, sadly.

[lovosazul]

Awesome! Thanks for posting!

Peace;]

[afrojayjay]

VHS. How nostalgic.

[McKleeny]

Thanks for posting!

[SteevDragon67]

Wish someone had a better tape of this, but still! cool!

[herbalenquiry]

elected shmekted u shmocks there all rigged!! if every 1 stopped voting then probably things would change God Dammit!!!!!!!!

[annuity100]

Wow this is the most amazing interview i have seen of Bill. Damn i wish there was abit more of this kind of stuff of him around.

[SolarEXtract]

People ARE idiots. After Bill passed away, we elected one GIANT idiot to run this country into the ground over an eight year period.

Sorry, Bill. You were right. We were wrong. We didn't listen, apparently.

[8daystillmonday]

@SolarEXtract I love how Hicks says openly in this video that both political parties are corrupt and that politics is for suckers, and then turn your whole comment into a vapid commentary on George Bush. Bill Hicks would hate you.

[SolarEXtract]

@8daystillmonday That makes no sense. Try again?

[babyranks4]

@SolarEXtract He was pretty much anonymous here in america...which sucked

[SolarEXtract]

@babyranks4 Good point and you're right. He was too far ahead of his time it seems.

[Prka01]

@SolarEXtract Ye, get this.

During the era of Bill Clinton, we loose Bill Hicks.

Then in the era of George Bush, we loose George Carlin.

Looks to me like God/universe/whatever is kinda fucking with us.

[WIStreetKings]

@Prka01  Incorrect word: Loose (unbound, unrestrained, not fastened). Correct word: Lose (to come to be without, to be bereaved by death). If you're going to post it would be nice if you could spell properly. Otherwise, it makes you look like an idiot. Oh, that's right, you're a dumocrat.

[Prka01]

@WIStreetKings Haha, a pathetic little redneck. Hey, guess what Billy-Bo-Bob, english isn't my first language, it's just one of the 4 languages (apart from my own) that I speak, so it's natural I'll make a mistake now and then. How many foreign languages do you speak? Let me guess. Zero. You probably had to spend half an hour with a dictionary for this little pearl of wisdom you blessed us all with.

[WIStreetKings]

@Prka01 Ha! Redneck. That's good. Ooohh that stings. News flash - I speak one foreign language to you - It's called ENGLISH!! And spending 30 minutes with a dictionary is 31 minutes more than you've ever spent with a dictionary. Here's a another pearl of wisdom - go back to whatever fucking third world rock you emerged from. We don't need any more USA hater's here. Oh, I guess that would mean you'd have to stop sucking Obama's cock. Liberal idiot, USA hater. God bless the USA.

[comedyisgreat24]

@SolarEXtract Well, technically he wasn't elected, he stole Florida and hence, the election, but your point is well made sir. It's ok to do it once because he and the Republicans got the Supreme Court to stop the recount, but damn, to do it all over again in 2004 was FUCKING STUPID like you say.

People sometimes feel offended when they're called stupid, I'm guessing it's because they hate being told what they are to their face. We need more Bill Hick's in this world.

[SolarEXtract]

@comedyisgreat24 We need a wake up call. If Bill were alive today, I bet he'd give us all one great big wake up call. You're right about Florida. That was basically stolen, much like our elections here in Wisconsin as of late. The more things change, the more they stay the same it seems...that is unless we all wake up soon. Cheers.

[AlthoughNotAFollower]

@SolarEXtract I listened. Watch your "we"s here.
