  • That bitch probably told Rage Against the Machine to be more like Creed

  • brilliant last line

  • he really showed superhuman patience in dealing with that stupid cunt asking the same question over and over. I'd have just punched her.

  • Why do all the good people in the world have to die... Jesus, Martin Luther King, Bill Hicks Gandhi... and all the demon's run amok.

  • he carved the path for so many great thinkers, truly an icon worthy of worship

  • I totally agree with bill

  • Tool's "Third Eye" is an epic hommage about him! We really miss those kinds of voices nowadays, worldwide...

  • God[if you`re here]-I have just watched all these videos-I am in L-O-V-E! O.k so his body died-yet a strong,beautiful,REAL spirit like his MUST LIVE ON..! How could I not have seen him "live" all those years? Oh what the heck,the fact that he`s touched so many people-incl. the ones who disliked him -out of FEAR of TRUTH and HONESTY.There`ll always be the ignorant ones,the sheep-forget them,REMEMBER the real people..

    I am a relatively new `fan`-but proud to be 18 yrs. on,and love this man ! X

  • Lol this is So Awesome....go read some comments under Bill Hicks videos, then watch this...the half that don't love him can get ALL theeir answers here.

    Rest In Peace Bill, the lord knows you worked hard to earn it

  • Bill was brilliant. He had the courage to say what so many others fear to or are too numbed with religious guilt and fear to even think. He had amazing comic timing and a fearlessness that is sorely absent from far too many stand-ups. If only he were alive today to see and comment on what the world has become since his death. RIP BILL

  • some thing everyone will like!!!!?

    even Jesus got killed n he wanted to save mankind

  • This guy is just a genius. He knows more about society than most of the American presidents. 

  • Comment removed

  • What a hate-filled mess this guy was. Ugh.

  • @Jhensy2012 You arnt the dumb bitch shaking her head in this video are you? Bill had love in his heart, the fact that he pointed out hypocracies showed that he cared. People who dont give a shit dont say anything important. Bill was trying to portray a message.

  • @lysergicpixel No I'm not a "dumb bitch". Looks like you can lessen your hate quotient a bit yourself.

  • That woman is thick piece of dogshite....fuckin bag of tits man. poor bill.

  • I don't see how anyone can say that there should be "lines" in comedy. Its whole premise is crossing social boundaries. That's what made Bill a great comedian.

  • that woman was a twat

    

  • Woman makes herself look like such an ignorant cnut...FnCKING EPIC FAIL!

  • The woman looked quite distraught. WTF British reporters are usually way more professional and open minded

  • Funniest real profet and G. Carlin too.

  • BILL HICKS- IN MY OPPION THE BEST COMEADIAN THAT EVER LIVED

    I QUOTE HIM MOST DAYS

  • She clearly doesn't get it

  • @xwinglover snobby bbc whore

  • Hey Bill, it's 2012, and it's a lot worse. Your voice of sanity is sorely needed.

  • Comment removed

  • Where do you think, I can meet you there! Thanks for making me smile Bill, miss you very much

  • I think some people are misinterpreting the BBC woman's purpose here.

    She's trying to challenge him, playing devil's advocate on purpose - she's not from some commercial channel, there to gush over him.

  • Hahahahaa its like those two bbc people are his parents. Especially the woman

  • "When did thinking not becoming entertaining?" Epic Quote!

  • Middle Class English pratts that have no idea about comedy and the genius that is sitting between them.

  • This woman liked Bill Hicks. She merely was playing Devils Advocate to get out the questions the offended feel and this served a purpose for Bill to be candid. Thank you to all three guests. 

  • @jessydaytime What makes you think that she likes him? The part toward the end where she's shaking her head in her hand? Where she tells him that people "don't want to think". That's what's wrong with this world. Thinking, as it turns out, is a good thing (contrary to what your government wants you to believe).

  • @KokumaAkitas Government is something we've learned not to trust generations ago and its a healthy thing. This woman would not have engaged him unless she found him fascinating.  Read her body language.

  • @jessydaytime - Her body language? She is leaning in towards him, but I think it has more to do with the noisy atmosphere. At 2:15 in she starts laughing at his comment about pleasing everyone and then quickly purses her lips shut and averts her eyes. At 4:15 when they are talking about 'drawing the line', she not only sounds agitated and antagonistic, but she looks frustrated. He knew it too... "can I recommend some jugglers you might like"?

  • It kills me that Bill Hicks is not with us anymore, truly sad. He was one of a kind and so many miss him you know. And, indeedy, the woman on this BBC show is clearly obnoxious and dim. Comedy that challenges and enlightens is the best kind.

  • The most poignant part for me was when Bill said he treats his audience like his friends. I totally felt like he was my friend.

  • if he listened to them he'd be a nobody like them. Bill had an honest idea of where the lines were

  • 4:13 head about to explode

  • She made me embarrassed to be British.....

  • what a stupid bitch...

  • i think this video is great really.

    the woman is me a long while ago, then i started to become the guy more and more. and in the end you can see me as the guy sitting and smiling and just be amazed by bill hicks and his views.

  • hey assholes stop hating so much this was 20 years ago were u so fucking smart 20 years ago. dont keep hating the sheep so much. she probably doesnt think the same way now. she hasnt killed innocent people stop wasting youre energi hating and concentrate on freeing minds instead. u reach more people with love.concentrate in on spreading info to expose the cocksuckers who are killing and robbing this planet instead.

  • i know it shouldn't but that lass really gets me pissed off, fucking same old mouth pieces for some fucking corporation "but they havent come to think" what a silly bitch

  • who the fuck is this idiotic woman who has destroed whatever program shes from!!!! why question bill hicks and his perfrct take on the human fuckin condition!!!!! so anoyed

  • Bill was so sharp. Amazingly funny!

  • Fucking BBC and their Lines. haha Go on Bill. You are my Icon In my life, And i aim To follow in your Footsteps. RIP XD

  • i think that lady just admitted a lot of people are idiots

  • That woman was epically stupid. The sad thing is she is probably still alive and Bill is gone.

  • that woman is a MASSIVE MASSIVE... ignorant

  • That women is moronically stupid, im embarrassed to be from the same country as her

  • @arru23 Would you be so embarrassed to know that she's an actress called Daryl Webster and you're referring to an acted scene in a documentary called Funny Business: A Question of Taste? Here's here Acting CV: ana-actors.co.uk/darylwebster.­html you can also look her up on IMDB. She's also in the final scene with John Cleese dressed in fetish gear.

  • @MrEmpathicus

    So what if she's an actress, that doesn't mean she's intelligent. In this video she displays an enormous amount of stupidity and opposition to free thought.

  • there are no lines

  • Well SHE was a real c**t...

  • This is a semi-spoof documentary about where to draw the line in comedy (part of a BBC series called 'Funny Business' in 1992). Far from being ignorant, the woman interviewer is actually 'in character', playing the part of a slightly uptight TV producer.

    The final scene of the docu features the same 'interviewers' doorstepping John Cleese to glean his views on 'offensive comedy'. He answers the door in his underwear, with a goat on a lead, and tells them all to "fuck off"!

    It's a gag.

  • As Bill Hicks would of recognised, he is dead, while that dumb bitch is still walking around.

  • Dear America/Bill Hicks fans

    On behalf of the UK i'd like to apologize for the sheer closed mindedness of the BBC interviewers here.

  • Ears are wasted on some people

  • God, that bitch interviewing him is so dumb. She just can't fathom the truth he speaks.

  • Another of the truth tellers of our time!

  • can i recommend JUGGLERS!

    fuckin fab bill :)

    look at the female presenter, really not impressed cause she cannot get her way

  • See the woman's head explode at 4.15.

  • @AlpineMusicSchool ohh i love how he nicely puts it to her HAHAHAHAH maybe ud like to watch juglers instead hahahahahaha thats the problem with people today they dont wana think at all, they always want some precher doing the thinking for them, that woman is a sheep and cant get any more sheeper that that, i guess she would like to watch some juglers , fucking 2 year old in the cunt

  • Bill Hicks is one of the greatest comedians that has ever lived!

  • Comment removed

  • @georgeboi101 I had to sign in and reply to your comment just to say that Bill Hicks IS the greatest comedian that has ever lived.

  • this guy could have very well been jesus reincarnate

  • this vide☼

    is headlined at

    davidicke . com/headlines/54833

    -bill-hicks-bbc-interview

  • This video sums up so much of how I feel about open minded people & the awful BBC, I Love Bill!! He's still here on another frequency you know ;-) Hope you can see you are supported wherever your part of the massive sea of consciousness is Bill , I wish we could turn over our frequency easy like I turn over away from the BBC ;-)

    Best Wishes Pete

  • @TheRainbowMandrills What's with the hate on BBC?

  • @TheRainbowMandrills The BBC used to be awful but in recent times some of its satellite channels has put out genuinely informative, original and funny content, given the same chance today had Bill lived on, i think the channel would act very differently, its pretty unfair just to hate so uniformly..

  • @amn201 Hi ;-) well I don't Hate uniformly, if you knew what I stand for you would pretty much see that in half a minute. Yes the BBC aired Bottom & Blackadder & Fawlty Towers some of the greatest things ever aired. Now they show Family Guy (I'd rather buy the DVD ;-) ) my point as pretty much Bills kind of viewpoint in this video is the Mindset of the Whole Corporation of BBC & mainstream media in General, not that there Nature department or comedy department are good or not .. TBC..

  • @amn201 my problems are like Bill mentioned in the JFK bit here, his Iraq War 91 views, you can imagine his views on every unjust War since 1994. If BBC were not so much Follow their Leaders Lapdog maybe JUST MAYBE the world would be a little bit of a better place to live. But at the moment if BBC said Ahmadinejad is going to attack Tel Aviv tonight, don't immediately believe it is true, in both Iraq wars complete opposite of the truth was reported! NO MORE WAR, LONG LIVE BILL's Message

  • So relavant today. Wow. De-evolution is the game today

  • Typical fucking BBC!

  • "Can i recommend some jugglers you might like?"

    Epic!

    I miss you Bill. Really do ;(

  • @CCLJunky looll xD how about a clown?? hhaha

  • "Where do you go to think? I meet you there." HAHAHAHA!!!

  • There are no lines, Erase the lines. This is great, that women has so many lines in her life that hold her back from great things in life, she has been morphed by society into thinking that there is only one way to think, thats why bill is so creative in his material he has no lines and he can think about something in many different ways.

  • Bill speaks from his heard thats why he is right

  • was she some kind of actress pretending to be a typical person, or was she a complete dumb typical person?

  • Can I recommend some jugglers?.....you might like?

    

  • stupid woman.

  • hahaha bill is awesome!!

  • that bitch was visibly annoyed! what a cuntbag!

  • oh so let me see, that bitch idea of entertainment is having a comedian to say dumb senseless to get laughs like he's some kind of a clown? that's cheap comedy, u dumb cunt! whats sad about it is that 90% of people thinks like that, they rather be entertained by talentless morons like carrot top instead of eloquent thought provoking guys like bill! an thats sad cuz that shows th level of culture that a nation really has when the mediocre are promoted instead of the geniuses!RIP B.Hicks we luv u

  • Who the hell is that dumb bitch? Her stupidity was offensive.

    But anyhow, I'd fucking love to drink and chat with Bill. :)

  • @DelightfullyBritish Well said!

  • 4:14 her brain has started to disolve

  • i empathised so much for bill watching this "interview". the woman is the embodiment of the ignorant brainwashed toss of a civilisation that we have let ourselves become. imagine a world run by people as enlightened and as real as bill hicks was.....great thought isnt it?!

  • Bill at 4:35: I've seen 7 balls of light coming from an UFO telling me, telepathicaly, that we are all One conciousness and that there is no such a thing as death...BUUUUUT. I've never seen such a dumb woman.

  • @rodrigojoseunb this.

  • that woman is a bitch

  • she just didnt seem to get it either

  • "When did thinking NOT become entertaining? Can I recommend some jugglers?"  LOL!

  • It's funny that no one seems to have the same opinion as her on this comments list. Where did she get the idea that thinking isn't entertaining? Maybe it isn't for some people, but surely she must realise that different people have different ideas about what it is to be entertained. It goes back to what Bill was saying to begin with, that you can't please everyone. I'm just ashamed that this woman worked for the BBC.

  • Would it be a stretch to guess that Bill Hicks has fewer female fans than male fans?

  • @fromhereon

    Nope. Society needs women to adjust to the system more than men. Men had the possibility to think out of the box far earlier than woman. That's also why there are far less female comedians and fewer female fans than male for Bill Hicks.

  • @dirkschuitsma

    Very well said and put!

    She is typical of the womans rights groups all around the world!

    THEY SIMPLY DONT FUCKING GET IT!!!

    She also works for the BBC ( bullshit broadcasting corporation ) which makes her a double pain in the ass!

  • Drunken whore is as good as that swill she's sipping down.

  • Bill is right. When was thinking not entertaining? I'm sorry to hear this chick can't put 2 and 2 together. So audiences must therefore be completely intellectually detached from their shows? This is what critics and higher class people used to think about cinema when it first rolled into town way back when actually. She must have a very dull void in there somewhere among the condescension & the bitter belief that she's always right.

  • Why the fuck do you interview someone, then constantly interrupt them when they respond?

  • That is totally ofriendsive.

  • "They don't want to think, they want to laugh."

    What a fucking dumb bitch!

  • I rewatched this because the line "Where do you go to think? I'll meet you there" kept playing in my head.

  • Who the fuck is that pompous arrogant drunk twat of a female.

  • Evidently that daft woman prefers Carrot Top.

  • can I recommend some jugglers you might like? ahahahaha

  • I totally agree with scytale88's comment about the female interviewer :o) Bill Hicks was a certified Genius with an absolute humanity that burned within, as well as being piss-your-pants funny! His comments throughout this brief interview were lucid and thoughtful...and she was by comparison, getting increasingly rattled and losing her composure. Near the end, Hicks paused and shook his head in disbelief at the sheer stupidity and incomprehension of this so-called 'Reporter'!

  • WOW i hate this kind of woman. that kind of person.

  • i hate the girl shes a fucking idiot

  • i have to say I really like the way he thinks and entertains

  • i know it's been said, but holy fuck that woman is retarded, he has to entertain them because they arent there to think? really? you're that dumb? wow

  • bill hicks was a fuckin genius i love this guy and eveything he stood for

  • What show was this from? I hope that woman realizes what a fucking idiot she was being.

  • Fucking BBC, what do you expect, any integrity?

  • Peace and love and all that. But stupid is stupid. And the "lady" at the end, I use the word lady loosely, is an utter moron. Bill was right. She wanted a circus act and got insightful intelligent comedy. What a waste of money eh?

  • @outofslumber The way the female interviewer acted reminds me of a saying I heard a few times: "It's unfair to criticize someone for not understanding something when their job relies on their not understanding it."

  • @WitlessSod

    Im not criticizing her work ethic. Just her stupidity, whether her job requires it or not

  • Anyone else notice the sanity slowly ticking away towards the end?

  • Humans are such idiots, as this interview has proven, we are just living in our own cycle of this stupidity, there will be many more after us.

  • Ohhhh shit. His final line is perfect. Can I recommend some jugglers, got her ass handed to her on a plate. I hope she got the point afterwards, something tells me she didn't.

  • @ChristopherDone something tells me u got bummed by ur uncle

  • @Jairzinho121 Please learn how to spell "you" and "your".

  • @ChristopherDone

    He may well know how to spell them and is being lazy. And if he is being lazy you wanting him to stop it is.....well......arrogant. I dont punctuate because Im lazy. Sometime I do sometimes I dont. But someone demanding I punctuate can go suck a fart from my hole!

    You've clearly got too much time on your hands if that bothers "U"!

  • @outofslumber It doesn't bother me, there are plenty of non-native speakers on YouTube and your false English is misleading and unhelpful.

  • @ChristopherDone

    Don't confuse me with taking sides. What the guy said was out of order and uncalled for. But you should come up with something better than attacking grammar. Most people I know who type like that do it out of laziness, or to fit more characters in. I leave out apostrophes because Im lazy.

    Misleading??

    Really?

    Where did "U" or "UR" lead you to that was so astray?

    What part of my non apostrophe English was so misleading?

    The grammar police are in town!

  • @outofslumber "Most people I know who type like that do it out of laziness, or to fit more characters in." — So? If you enjoy confusing people then feel free to type however you like. Don't bother making excuses.

  • @ChristopherDone

    Get a life FFS!!

  • @outofslumber

    Oh sorry!!!

    Lest I confuse you. That was "FOR FUCK SAKE"!

  • OMG I wanna punch that expressionless fuck in her face!

  • totally relate to bill in the end..how frustrating it is to talk to people that live inside a box..

    "there are no lines! erase all the lines"

  • It's funny when idiots feel superior. 4:13.

  • Clearly that woman was a thatcher supporter

  • Lines? What lines? We don't need no stinking lines! The lady interviewer is the type of person Bill disliked.

  • Interviewer: "But they want to be entertained"

    Me: *Imagines audience of seals clapping fins together*

  • wow lol...what was it she didn't get? i don't understand.

    she seemed so flustered that someone dare cross THE....LINE! i mean, what? the line? where CAN you draw the line? who cares? i guess being real and honest was still shocking in the early 90s.

  • Where one draws the line!!! The only line drawn here was with a surgical marker when this doughnut had her frontal lobotomy.

  • "They don't want to think.."

    Yeah right..look where not thinking brought this world untill today and where is still taking it..and she said it with such ease!

    Really bad interviewer..

  • @PwnedNinjaaa I'm confused on the Scotsman part...?

    Bill Hicks was Irish American anyway.

  • @majorporpoise He is not say Hicks is a scotsman, he is referring to himself as a scotsman, because stereotypically the English and the Scotts do not like to willingly praise each other. He IS agreeing with Hicks' point about Hicks' being more successful and understood in the UK and not america. OK?

  • BBC Please stay away from american comedy you don't know shit about it !!

  • WHO HIRED HER? WHY IS SHE INTERVIEWING HIM!

  • bbc are full of shit

  • stupid womannnnnnnnnnn, shame bill was kinda around at this shitty time when the bbc was still in its snooty mood

  • wow what the fuck is wrong with that chick?

  • maybe sad for me but I had to spend more than 20 years on earth driven by morons until I discovered a Bill Hicks and a George Carlin to realize what a treasure critical thinking is. I truely admire these people, thx Bill thx George

  • wtf is that chick retarded? how can you disagree with what hes saying?

  • The Brits are ACTORS! It's satire people! /watch?v=hdrLJLqDj68 (same actors in a John Cleese sketch).

    Extremebogon is correct. Thanks for the heads up, man. Don't usually ask for thumbs up but lets make this truth visible so people know what's really happening here. Peace brothers and RIP Bill <3

  • @mysterywhiteboy72

    Sorry but this is real British snobbery im affraid to correct you!

    The Brits are actors???.....LOL

    Have a look at America you delusional wanker!!!

  • @hearts76100 you fucking idiot, that is helen mirren. its a satirical program called points of view all about uptight views. fucking twat! they are actors. bill was in on the sketch. you ought to feel like a real fool

  • @elstroshitnonstop

    I'm really amused at your idiocy!

    SORRY MY LITTLE UNEDUCATED AND STUPID CUNT....

    I will place a bet any time with you about the person you claim to know so well???

    My parents are friends with that individual and you clearly are a man of poor judgement!

    Hahahahahehehe.....PLONKER!!!

  • @hearts76100 oh really you fucking wanker! give yourself a little pat on the back, you self righteous little crusader you. you will find yourself quite wrong- this is a fictionalised scenario, you clearly dont understand realism. the way you called mysterywhiteboy a delusional wanker for a comment appraising bill really illustrated what a self important piece of shit you are. i thought this was real and i too felt hate for her delusional attitude, however, it is not real. what are you even for?

  • @elstroshitnonstop Hey, you're right, that is Helen Mirren! Thanks for pointing that out. I was a little puzzled at her reactions, which seemed a bit reactionary for Britain. But the performance of both actors (supporter and detractor) makes much more sense when you think about it. A better title description is in order, I think.

  • "There are no lines." What a beautifully truthful statement.

  • @cool083 Nothing should be safe from comedy.

  • "There are no lines." What a beautifully truthful statement.

  • Can someone please, for the love of God, remind the female interviewer "It's just a ride."

  • Can someone please tell me the address to that female interviewer's house. So i can fucking slap the shit out of that bitch.

  • He's a goddamn genius

  • he really speaks from the heart

  • "When Jesus comes back, do you think he ever wants to see a fucking cross?"
