  • Sprint fuckin sucks...

  • What an inspiration. What a legend. What a source of truth, and man worthy of such great respect. Thank you Bill.

  • what a smart guy! (Bill Hicks)

    

  • he would have loved and hated the internet

    

  • Amazing... I wish people would stop compareing him other comedians who are simply questioners and anti.. Bill has the insight to question but he also has a dream apositive message and a 'spiritual' bent that is unique to him.. 0m

  • Idea's are "alive" in the same way dna information is passed on. It might not be the exact information but a modification of the original ideas like I just did right here. The objective proof of the idea is irrelevant to it's existence. Like an organism idea are "naturally selected" if we decided not to discuss Bill Hicks then the idea would have ceased to replicate and exist. That is my opinion anyways. Our progression of knowledge is a result of communication and collaboration of ideas.

  • Comment removed

  • A thought is just a thought till you turn it into something more. Every action and reaction started as a simple thought.

  • Bill would've loved the internet? What the fuck gives you that idea?

  • Audios not in sync with the vid, but thanks for posting. Ive watched so much of Bill that its hard to find stuff that i havent already seen or heard before. The man is a fucking genius. Cant wait to meet him on the other side.

  • Genius & a prophet! Love you Bill!

  • I need to download this, correctly synchronize the audio in Final Cut Pro, enhance the image and sound quality and re-upload it. A piece of history such as this deserves much better...

  • @MichaelSirois I support your nobel cause brother!

  • Fucking SHIT Bill, we could've used you now. :/

  • genius is genius.

  • They should still fucking do this show. Its a damned good premise.

  • If you're watching this and a smoker, quit for Bill's sake. The number one cause of early onset pancreatic cancer is smoking.

  • The man was a golden god 

  • it was liver cancer that spread to his pancreas...

    i have never heard of a comic that speaks for me more than this man.

    it is my new personal mission to continue down the the path he took.

    the path of truth.

  • Actually, *Ekaku*, a Zen Buddhist, asked, 'What is the sound of one hand clapping?'

  • @jhip87 don't get so picky. someone probably said it before him. just kidding.

  • Also check out PsychicTV with Genesis P-Orridge to expand your mind. Peace bitches.

  • Hey Bill... whattya think about justin bieber?

  • @ABBPhan81 Probably the same thing he thinks about....... who was the quote/unquote "rockstar" who was sucking the cock of money and drinking diet cock oopsimean coke (lol). 

  • @ABBPhan81 He would probably want to give him the same treatment as billy ray cyrus and micheal bolton. If you know what im talking about lol

  • @TurtlesDoNotHaveFur He died from pancreatic cancer, I'm not sure if you can get that kind of cancer from smoking. But I'm not a doctor.

  • I really hope the internet becomes sentient in 2012, perhaps it shall become as a collective consciousness. LOL via wifi in to our brains. Miss you Bill

  • Dude, I used to look EXACTLY like the interviewer guy on this clip, who is that guy? I always thought I look kinda like Bill, but I look EXACTLY like the other guy except I wear glasses and I don't have the beard anymore.

  • i think bill was murdered......he would of gone on to spread alot of awakening .........the powers that be couldn't have that

  • why there arent normal tv hosts like this on tv anymore? :D

  • Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Louis CK.

    the 3 best

  • @Gonko100 you know what's up. kudos man.

  • @Gonko100 whos louis ck, sounds like an author

  • @Gonko100 I'd replace CK with Doug Stanhope. Other than that, you're good.

  • @Gonko100 good choices sir bravo.

  • @Gonko100 And Eddie Izzard.

  • @Gonko100 check out doug stanhope. Otherwise amazing list love all those guys.

  • @Gonko100 you read my f*cking mind O.o creepy

  • @Gonko100 *cough* Richard Pryor *cough*

  • @Gonko100 louis CK is funny, i like him, but Bill Hicks would hate CK.

  • Poor Bill. Why do these great guys die so young.

  • Woah, I don't like this look for Bill

  • @wheelmansta I could not agree more!

  • i want bill inside me

  • Cool how the internet lets people like Bill live on forever. Death can't kill an idea. Funny how the smartest people are never president, only the most resourceful. Sorry, youtube is like my diary.

  • @wheelmanstan So what, you're some kind of internet solipsist?

  • @Mosixman nope, but now I know what solipsist means.

  • @wheelmanstan And knowing is half the battle. G.I. JOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

  • @wheelmanstan That reminds me Bill Maher's"Religulus" When he is on an interview with a mayor, which says that you don't have to be smart to be a mayor, followed by an akward silence.

  • @wheelmanstan Well, not really. Bill is dead, and idea's aren't alive. That's the reality. 

  • @quackajack13z I have to disagree.. thoughts and ideas ARE alive. They grow and evolve by consuming information around them and if left unattended and in disrepair they will DIE. If there were no recording devices to replay his ideas, they would be left in the care of the people who heard him speak. The fact that he died almost 20 years ago and his ideas are still as fresh as the day he uttered them shows how youtube and other mediums have kept these ideas "alive".

  • @carlwitt75 What you're talking about is an abstraction of Bill's ideas- not Bill's ideas themselves. And no- ideas are not alive. That's just how it is. The thing about the internet is that it tricks you into thinking words and ideas are "alive", and reality in themselves. The reason is because the internet is nothing but words, images, and abstractions. So, the pseudo-reality of the internet really IS made up and affected by ideas...which is what gives you the illusion.

  • @wheelmanstan If only we lived in a meritocratic society, in which our leaders are literally the most intelligent, so we don't have people like George Bush, or Rick Perry, or Nick Griffin, Gaddafi, the list goes ON and ON, and will ALWAYS go on until the end of time unless we drag our way out of the darkness by seeking the light of Absolute Truth as I call it. If we build our civilisation on knowledge, pure and simple, then together we can become gods.

    And then you see Rebecca Black... T_T

  • @TheScareynerd I agree. Whatever happens though, will happen again. The end will bring a new beginning and I just hope I get to come back and be part of the golden era and not the dark ages.

  • This guy is the fucking greatest! him and George Carlin, in my opinion

  • @DiAboLiicz Check out Doug Stanhope, Louis Black, and Joe Rogan. I don't think any of them could fill Carlin's or Hick's shoes...but they're good in the same way.

  • @Gonji Not really.....if your interested you should read about what people were saying thousands of years ago saying the same thing...and more....

  • I love insightful people

  • Bill kind of reminds of that guy from "American Movie" here

  • wow

  • thumbs up if you tried calling the number

  • I'm gonna look up: "Counts of the Netherworld"; Carl Jung; and Larry Sanders Show. I find Bill Hicks to be in agreement with the real teachings of Jesus. The church has twisted Jesus' teachings and our concept of God. Bill says God is not punishing and we are all one - compare that to Jesus' words: "You shall all be one just as I and God are one".

  • the one hand clap is soooooooooooooooooooooooo fucking badass.

  • bill hicks- killed by george w bu$h. rip

  • One of the greatest books that deals with the evolution of ideas is The Lucifer Principle by Howard Bloom. Bill Hicks lives on in my ideas! Let's evolve.

  • @DarkF00L

    I have seen that in the bookstore. Read the back, and I've been waiting to buy that for a while

  • a man always does what hes meant to do when hes meant to doit even if he really doesnt want to

  • Anything we can imagine, we can create.

  • coughlan asking a question in the end...

  • @garethac81 totally, at least nowaday we have youtube, i'm just glad footage like this is still around, because bill was extremely profound.

  • Great man, Me thinks he was a threat to the "social order " he made tooo many people actually THINK ! ( not a good thing for the powers that ..BE ) In my opinion ? they fucking killed Hicks 

  • @ZEITGEISTism he used to smoke, he had cancer, stop with regressive comments, stupid speculation about an unimportant fact, we just have here and now

  • @marlom2312 yes he had cancer but not the kind of cancer you get thru smoking tobacoo ,

    so, you STOP (or shut up ! you regressive individual )

  • @ZEITGEISTism

    lol

    you can get many cancers from smoking.

    look at patrick swayze

    did someone take him out to?

    lmao

    HE DANCES TOO WELL

  • @samaramasexpot

    True!. but you and your "kind " ?...are so busy seeing the trees.you refuse too see the woods Get it ? if not ,continue to .....get lost ( Such is life !)

  • @marlom2312

    Take your arrogant message to me ....and stick where the sun dont shine !

  • @ZEITGEISTism The only question that comes to mind then, "how do you infect someone with pancreatic cancer", or "how do you buy/scare people enough to lie out-right to the public about a particular person's death i.e, cover-up", or finally "How do you just make someone disappear... then cover it up". Which leads to, "What did her know, could know or potentially do, that could threaten the powers that be."

  • @RustyRedReaper

    Yep that is the million dollar question GOSH .."how does one infect someone with pancreatic cancer "??? lol EASY !!.......

    PS Do some proper research on all forms of cancer I did in other words ? INFORM yourself and the answer will come to you (the horrifying answer ) Truth is the TRUTH? ....... really is stranger than fiction ! (and that aint no "conspiracy theory " ) I dont give a shit if you think im a nutcase in my opinion ? Bill Hicks got taken OUT... PERIOD !!

  • this whole episode shud b posted

  • a fearless mind. I really think he truly believed life is just a ride.

  • Had Hicks still been around, I suspect he'd have been a regular on something like QI (I delight in telling people things they don't know, particularly if they're true') and maybe the idea for a show he had would have developed would've been picked up by someone like BBC4. Hard to see how a commercial station like Channel Four could sell ad space before or after this show, cos there wasn't going to be any ad breaks during it.

  • The 6 people who don't like this don't like the "E" word

  • Bill Hicks detonated a nuclear bomb in my head.

  • I can only think of two words to describe this man right now.....

    FUCKING GREAT.

  • "intolerance" is the word i think hes looking for.

  • Fuck confuscious..... that's gold.. I love Bill Hicks!

  • Bill Hicks dies young while the evil fucks like Cheney, Murdoch and Robertson keep on breathing. Tell me there is a God?

  • His death just makes his message all the more special. I think his death was supposed to be a wake up call for the rest of us... just a thought

  • @kingkickball Who dyou think is gonna be remembered and admired longer, Hicks or Cheney?

  • @stfwho Cheney without a doubt. Go to a random person and ask them who Bill Hicks is. Odds are they won't know. But there's a lot of people who do know and love Cheney. Sounds despicable but that is the nature of the world today.

  • Bill looks like John Lennon here.

  • for more stories about bill hicks as told by ron shock, type in "the bill hicks chronicles" and enjoy.

  • "Now We Are At the Point where Imagination and Reilly are Right There Together and That goes For Heaven and That Goes for Hell And It Is our Choice And We Can Do Anything literally" Bill Hicks, Bruce Lee, John Lennon why does god take away our greatest philosophers and thinkers from us before they have even had a chance to make there full impact on the world whilst simultaneously allowing this cycle of totalitarianism, brainwashing and injustice continue.

  • @murray1234567891011 you know, i am fairly religious person, but i have been listening to a lot of bill hicks lately & i'm beginning to wonder if he really knew something. on rare occasions there are people in this life who understand things on a level above everyone else, & these people tend to be public figures & all tend to die before their time. he is such an intelligent person that he really makes you think that he knew something that we'll all know someday, he just knew it before us.

  • @postalcode2934 haahaa as bill would testify himself they tend to be killed before there time :P

  • @postalcode2934

    Take some mushrooms and you'll know it too! Good luck for the future!

  • @postalcode2934 if you like the comics aproach to religion try listening to george carlin.

  • bill is da man.....get the idea...imagine.....tesus.love ya all

  • The internet was in existence in the time of Hicks. Perhaps you are referring to the world wide web as we know it?

  • the Victorian room got me thinking of a space odyssey 2001 when he is enlightened.

    when was this taped?

  • Amazing...

  • Never seen a video with the soundtrack this far out of sync.

  • Carl Jung= Pyschology genius

    Bill Hicks= Comedic genius

  • @SouthBendKE what's the difference

  • @SouthBendKE Carl Jung like the Jungian theory? 46&2?

  • @SouthBendKE Hicks was more than just comedy

  • @TheCosmicGypsies Comedy is more thank you think it is.

  • he looks so scrawny...is he cancerous

  • @Dollarbob This was filmed just before he died of pancreatic cancer.

  • hello. I will be setting up a blog in a few weeks for people that think like Bill.. it will be to enlightened people through the blog...If you are interested in helping me please contact me.... and I am not talking about help in a financial way I want your ideas .. Thank You I have high hopes for this blog

  • So many things that I would love to ask to Bill...

  • then ask yourself...

    It is STUPID to search outside of yourslef for answers..ALL choices and KNOWLEDGE

  • ??? You´re calling me stupid ´couse i would love to ask some questions to one of the people that I admire the most? Haha, you see, becouse of people like you is that Bill had such good material. I bet you´re the Freebird guy lol...

  • probably what he himself would have said...we're all equal.

  • He didn't say that he said we'r all one.

  • thank you for this, bill rings true through my heart :)

  • Comment removed

  • thx so much for uploading his video and spreading hicks ideas

    I'll try to see more color in things

    see more out of the sky

  • I could hardly imagine a better plot for a television show

  • I would really kill to be floating on a cloud somewhere with Bill Hicks and Carl Sagan.

  • he looks kinda like john lennon here

  • What, ill?

  • Bills discussion of the collective unconcious evolving our consiousness is the central idea of modern chaos magick.  Amazing.

  • Another reason why Austin is the best city in America.

  • He's right. That's why I think, withn the world's best interest, and for sake of freedom of expression, make drugs legal. Let people decide what the ywant to put into their bodies. We're all adults, and we all can decide what's best for us, rather than some overweight pencil pushing politician wagging his fat finger at us telling us we can have only 1 beer and not three. Or we can only drink decaf coffee and no sugar.

    Fuck those people.

    Come on America, evolve already.

  • it's mainly financially motivated, Canabis has alot of uses other than smoking and getting stoned, and the legalisation of Hemp farming would put alot of other industries out of business, and the governments would have a hard time taxing Weed like they do Alcohol and Tobacco... they don't care how much it hurts people is it either makes money for them or saves them spending money... health comes second for most governments I think =(

  • I agree. The gov doesn't care at all. It's legal thugs and businessmen, and politicians and lawyers.

    Humans suck ass, don't they?

  • Hey mymentor, if you hate Bill so much why are you watching his videos? Keep the negativity to yourself

  • waaay ahead

  • brilliant, thanks for sharing this.

  • dude...you're a dumbass. you think everyone just appeared on earth how we are now "poof!"?

  • evolution of IDEAS.

  • evolution works slowly, we can clearly see evolution with the help of archeology.

    In 10000 years our ancestors have not changed much at all, you wouldn't notice the difference between a 10k year old person and a current person. To not believe in evolution because you can't see it happen is like not believing the hour hand a clock moves because you can't see it happen. Evolution works in a form of trial and error and it branches off like a tree, it's not like a long chain and pure chance.

  • it's not that hard to cue up audio and video... get a program bro.

  • Drugs are all the same they trick the brain to produce certain chemicals in the brain. cannabis is 40,000 times safer the alcohol. no deaths ever, only good.

  • "...only good"

    Absolute bullshit. Come and work in and around the court system in North-West Western Australia, where cannabis addiction and misuse are rife, and you'll see the effects that the drug has. It's far from "only good", as you so dishonestly posit. It can be a highly pernicious drug, and ruins a lot of lives. I see it every day.

  • the court??? what business does LAW have with HEALTH in the first place? do you arrest fat people who are addicted to mcdonalds? or heavy coffee drinkers (WAY more addictive) or cig smokers? NO. why are the courts invloved? MONEY. PURE AND SIMPLE. Get your head out of your ass, PLEASE!

  • @girlphriend I'm not quite sure what the argument has been, but the whole idea is that a society degrades if mind altering drug use is widespread. Coffee is niether mind altering nor mood altering. Cig either, some clam they are, but not really in the true definition. And ofcourse not when compared to alcohol and illegal drugs.

  • No need to get agresive or insult people to make your point, have a healthy discussion. I´m gonna tell you what, is not cannabis the problem, is the abuse of it, like anything else on this world. I bet you drink at least a little glass of wine once in a while, well, that´s great and I bet you have no problems with it, but alcohol kills a hundred times more people than any other drug, though, I never get to hear the voices of "reason" talking about it, why, go figure...

  • We forgot how to think on our own.. :\ we must all think the same for the man to control us. like the monopoly drug industries. the labeling of sick people. the fitting in or your lame. and btw 911 was staged. to get us in a patriotic mode. They made a public statement out of Iraq since they were tired of being ripped of by America so they switched to Euro and so did a few others North Korea and maybe China? That is why we went to war World War 3 coming. oil is running Low WE are fucked I<3life

  • 1:08

    There is nothing about that laugh I do not like.

  • fuck the medical services who hold back the weed and pump us with shity pharamcetual drugs that keep us hooked/

  • i agree as one whose taken both:)

  • that was a brillant speach

  • Man...interviewed by a roadie for a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band on Austin public TV. When you consider the profound wisdom of Bill's words, the miniscule platform given to him to offer that wisdom is fucking tragic.

    Fuck Oprah...it's Counts of The Netherworld that deserved primetime syndication on major networks across the globe.

  • But he liked public broadcasting....it doesn't have censorship...

  • @garethac81 amen brother

  • @garethac81 Tool and Bill Hicks aren' popular or mainstream because the average person doesn't care to be enlightened

  • Comment removed

  • @opti95 WHEN DID I SAY I HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.

    I JUST WANT TO LEARN.

    FUCK.

  • Comment removed

  • @opti95 it wasn't until after i replied that i realized you weren't being sarcastic.

    it was just that i could see people assuming that i think of my self being above the average person simply because i like to think about things in a different way.

    glad to know others share the opinion :D

  • @idontcare009 Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather! :D

  • @opti95 PRYING OPEN MY THIRD EYE.

  • @garethac81 OPRAH LORRRRRRRRRRRVES AUUUUUUUUSTRALIAAAAAAAAA!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO!

  • isnt it great to be free? of course, if youre caught with a cannabis plant your ass is going to jail, but whatever, we're free....

  • You're free, TO DO AS WE TELL YOU!!!

  • Marijuana is evil now excuse me while I drink 1/5 of Jack Daniels and beat my girlfriend blue I'm not a hypocrite your a hypocrite!!!!!

  • i prettty much agree they already powered a diesel car with hemp oil, u can eat the seeds. 1acre of hemp = 4.1 acres of trees

    trees take a lifetime to grow and hemp a couple months the first few drafts of the declaration of independence was written on hemp, it doesnt turn yellow

    it is 7 times less pollutant than wood and up until the 1800's u could pay ur taxes with hemp,marijuana is just a word taken frm mexico to ruin hemps reputation and4ppl to invest in coal and make hemp illegal richwiteppl

  • capitalist.

  • how come i never heard of bill hicks never seen him on tv had to accidetilly findout about him on the internet yet he really is amazing with what he says he should be getting more credit even when he is dead
