"You know all that money we spend on weapons and defense every year? Trillions of dollars. Instead, if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over,not one human being excluded ... not one ... we could as one race explore inner and outer space together in peace, forever." - Bill Hicks
British comedy is where American comedy was five years ago?? So John Cleese and Monty Python should actually thank Bill Hicks for their material. Well said, Bill!
I have the utmost respect for Bill Hicks and absolutely none for Dennis Miller; he's a hack, IMO.
Where Hicks spent his career mocking the crap of our society, the history we are taught and our bullshit, hypocritical values (such as our supposed freedom of speech and our rights), Miller has spent his career being a corporate and right-wing, war on terror supporting, 911 Truth denying sack of very un-funny shit.
test audiences, I bet 90% of those people in that audience didn't know who goat boy is. They just laughed because Bill Hicks was king of commedy in the 90's and that audience was being tested unbeknownst to the subject of the joke.
It's unfortunate that we don't have Bill's presence in America now, especially when you consider that 15% of our population is on anti-depressants. Aldous Huxley said once that mass medication of a population is part of a drive to make people obediently accept "dictatorship WITHOUT tears." I believe Bill would probably be far more incensed with this generation then the one your viewing here.
hicks fans point their noses in the air like they have some secret knowledge, yet do nothing about it but argue on youtube forums...way to lead a revolution...cowards
Bill Hicks and Dennis Miller--one of these men do (did) not belong on the same stage with the other. Hint: the brain-dead, Foxnewsian one isn't fit to pull weeds from the grave of the merely dead one.
Hicks was performing at 15, and was one smart dude. I couldn't imagine a smart and influential talent living any longer than he did. He was like Lennon, geniuses don't tend to live long, which is kinda lucky since this world sucks.
"he was real and was trying to wake up your conscience awareness to the fact that we are all connected that we are all of one and one of all, Life is just an experience "a ride" but it has been hijacked by controlled puppets like Dennis Miller."
Wow man, like, thats so deep. You voted for Obama, right?
bill hicks killed? I don't know maybe by a group called the illuminati that control everything. I don't know. maybe. I would just call it speculation if I were you. Whoever reads this.
This half hour: war, death, famine, AIDS, homeless, recession, depression, drought, flood, pitbull, dennis miller, genius comic is dead,, and the HOLLLLYWOOOD minute.
He was an intelligent person! You can see it by watching after 7:11 when he's touching the corner of the table like a lunatic. And everyone here in YouTube knows that a person who is lunatic is genious. I love him even though I've known him not more than an hour !
Notice how Miller quickly shoots Hicks down when he touches on being responsible for your own actions and thoughts in the outer adult comment. Then he takes a not so subtle swipe at Hicks by mentioning that piece of shit thief Denis Leary. Leary stole his entire act from Hicks and became huge because he sold out the scumbag media controllers who tell him what to do now. Hicks responds with a great line about Leary and others being 5 years behind because thats how long Leary was stealing.
Yep. Great comment! And also take not of how he apologized...to DENNIS (!!!) the fucking thief...and have a look at his body language. It looks like he was trying to run away from Hicks when he rattled off yet another classic punch (in this case a literal punch) line. Hacks can't handle the real McCoy.
Dennis Miller sold his soul for short lived fame. HIcks never sold out, died mysteriously and will live forever. Miller will be forgotten as a comic but remembered as a slave to the elitist zionists who own the media. Hicks will be remembered as attacking those powers openly in his act. He died of pancreatic cancer not unlike many who it turns out are poisoned by the spooks in the CIA. Call me a conspiracy theorists and kiss my ass you slave goyim. BIll Hicks forever.
The joy that exudes from Bill after the subtle shot at the talentless,hack thief Leary is priceless. And this is when Miller was still sharp enough to get what Bill was saying. Brilliant... Denis Leary is a lace curtain douchebag.
Dennis Miller is lucky Bill Hicks died before Miller pissed away the last dribble of his miniscule talent and became a pathetic, humour-free, right wing ranter. Hicks would have torn the Fox News lapdog version of Miller a new orifice so large, there would have been nothing left but orifice.
At the time Hicks died, he was headed for stardom. Miller had peaked years before, on SNL.
Miller's TV gigs have been cancelled more times that the launching of the Space Shuttle. Rightly so.
Ya, the "cold shot" at Leary by Hicks referred to the fact that Hicks knew that Leary had stolen material from Hicks from a few years back, which fit in fine with Britain, because over there they're a few years behind the US. But of course the REAL cold shot is that Leary stole the material in the first place.
Dennis miller is a puppet with fake intelligence and no wisdom. Bill Hicks is still alive in the hearts of all free people. Dennis was just a stepping stone for a man who is still rated one of the best stand ups ever not because he was funny but he was real and was trying to wake up your conscience awareness to the fact that we are all connected that we are all of one and one of all, Life is just an experience "a ride" but it has been hijacked by controlled puppets like Dennis Miller.

Dennis and Bill were friends. They toured together. He wasn't taking a swipe at Bill by mentioning Leary, he was setting him up for the slam at the end of the segment. That's how talk shows work.
This blind, irrational Hicks fandom is awfully similar to the same blind fanaticism that Hicks himself was constantly making fun of.
@xRazorFistx true man....hey Im from Brazil and I founded Bill Hicks 3 months ago and Im not a conspiracy freak....but don't you think that hicks was killed......I saw his allegedly last stand-up yesterday on youtube....and man...he knew at that point he was gonna die....but still he was trying to deliver his message...Hicks..is all...Heart...it's rare to see a perfomer with a good conviction trying to give a message....he had a great conciousness....Cheers
@SoulBat1971 Aren't they total opposites? I have seen Dennis Miller's material and it sounds so stupid. If I wanted to hear his ideas, I'd watch Fox News, which he seems to be a frequent commentator on
@BrewToob wish u were wrong but damn you are dead right he sold out funny on snl now political bitch how do u go from pointing out funny bullshit in america culture to saying the exact fucking opposite like u will die if u dont most disappointing turn of a career ever "fuck the uptight country to being Limbaugh's bitch and that other douchbag on political tv i cant think of his name but you earn your credibility on a comedy show then become what he is now god what a fucking shame
The scary thing in this clip has nothing To do w/denis leary It is the fact that Dennis miller did a total 180 flip he used to Be fucking funny And now he is just a Repulsive piece of shit oh and yes Bill O reilleys little unfunny unhip un cool REPUBLICAN TOADY!!! Dennis if You could have seen into your future , say 20years ago wouldnt have you gone out and Bought a gun,gone behind the woodshed and blown your brainout?? I would really like to think that you would have! What a Much
Yeah, Dennis Miller is a fucking dumbass. What a stupid Bush asslicker. Interesting hearing about Leary being big over in England at the time. Him and Hicks crossing paths while he got ready to steal from him.
Also love all the right-wingers justifying his Reagan/Bush rants by saying how much he hated "politics in general". I never heard him railing on Jimmy Carter, Harry Truman, FDR....did I miss that?
He hated right-wing idiot rednecks, which is about 50% of the country right now. He would be having a field day with the tea-bagging dipshits were he with us today.
@TheLeftyGrove...just as bad as right wing idiot rednecks (who suck), are left-wing parrot puppets (who suck) who are just as guilty in thinking other people's thoughts...neither see the big picture...both "sides" are complete idiots, just the fact that they are on a "side" other than looking out for the government and the public's well being makes it so.I think you missed the whole point of Bill Hicks routine.Read "Beaches of Sneeches" by Dr. Seuss.
Whats with these right wing mongoloids saying"i dont agree with what he sais but hes funny"? This one kid below me even calls him a communist for trying to make the world see itself as the shithole it is.
Guess what? You, and all your soulless massmedia clones, are the subject of Hick's comedy, i hope you liked laughing at yourself, I know I did.
Hicks was an original (not counting Lenny Bruce.) Absolutely brilliant, and the definition of Edgy. No one like him since. Even his Chicks Dig Jerks song was hilarious.
I always liked Dennis. His Weekend Update segment was my favorite SNL stuff at the time, and through the years his articulate wit, common sense and command of pop culture minutiae made his comedy fantastic. To see him piss off the Libs, now, is icing on the cake. Hate on, Drones. Dennis Miller Rules.
Wow, a bunch of haters of Miller in comments. Don't hate comedians for their politics. Miller is funny as hell and so is Hicks. Miller is classic. So is Hicks.
@Edubbplate yes, but pretending that what dennis miller is doing now is comedy is kind of absurd. Comedy speaks truth TO power, not stick up for it. He is no longer comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable, he is doing the opposite, standing up for the status qup. Gross.
@jimmydore The status quo? Your view is the mainstream now. You are the status quo. The hippies run the show now. Speaking truth to power isn't the same it was in the sixties.
I agree... There is tons of music made by people with completely opposing views to mine, yet I see no reason why I would let that prevent me from enjoying their music...
Same with comedy, or any other form of entertainment for that matter..
I would bet that politically, Hicks and I would disagree on a good amount of stuff.. But I would be laughing my ass off the whole time. That's the problem with people today.. They HATE people for the views.. it's quite prejudice.
@calosity Yep. Well said. Just laugh at the shit. Comedy isn't about "speaking truth to power" or any other communist slogan. It's simply about making people laugh with your personal views of the world. You can disagree and still find it funnier than shit.
@Edubbplate .. the first amendment is communist? did I miss something? Anyways, if you watch some of his BBC interviews, you'll see that Bill Hicks openly (and specifically) disagreed with your statement about comedy "simply making people laugh." "Maybe you would enjoy a juggling act?" LOL
Bill was great. Dennis Miller on the other hand..a major dissapointment in life. A smart ass failure at everything...this talk show, Monday Night Football, SNL, and now he's even more sickening on the Orally Factor.
@dannyd1572 Actually SNL was his only real success and his HBO show. Miller has and always will be a racist rigthwinger-he just hid it for years like a number of celebrities. Jon Voight, Kelsey Grammar, Gary Sinise-all right wingers who been hidng their beliefs for years. At least Charleton Heston made his views known just watch BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE.
@MultiSmartass1 Yeah, he had a few good things on SNL. However, his comic timing sucks and his references to things that the average person has no idea about, are all lame and fall on deaf ears. When your on Monday Night Footlball and you say something like "like Jerry Rice just caught that ball like Jimmy Stewart caught a cold in the second part of Its A Wonderful Life, when he saw the angel near the bridge." That kind of crap fell on deaf ears.
@dannyd1572 I don't know who's idea it was to put him on MNF. He's a comic and a sarcastic one at that. Most announcers are straight forward Mom and Pop and apple pie right wing wackos. He's intelligent and I get his references but he has always been cold and passionless despite his rants.
@MultiSmartass1 Yeah, I don't think his comic style hit mainstream America. He was just terrible. I think most people realized it was going to be a train wreck. And it was...
@dannyd1572 Actually, hit style did hit mainstream America. They weren't interested.That's why he's a right wing radio show host. He's going where the money is.
It's amazing how dennis miller is now a paid pawn of the state. He spews neoconservative propaganda and racism on his syndicated radio show and gets everyone roused up with the fake two party system( really a ONE party, folks), sucessfully diverting the american masses from the corporatist/elitist agenda.
@TheArbiter74 yeah really eh , it always amazes me how people are willing to forget there beliefs and live like little corporate whores just for money , we live in a strange place....
@JG129 Yes, we do live in a strange place. However, I would have to contend that the "whores" are the corporations; most of us working for them are merely slaves. It is a very strange place, indeed. I've been to Europe and the people are far less strange there. They have less whores per capita, "whoring" is legal, AND you can blatantly spot out a whore there. Here, the whores are very disguised, but there's more of them!!! :~D
that dig about britains comedy being 5 yrs behind at the end is jus 2 please others i no bill didnt feel that way really seen as tho he was excepted in britain b4 america,, same as hendrix...
@P0GFLIPPER Actually his comment had nothing to do with insulting Britain but instead with taking a shot at Dennis Leary. He's saying Dennis Leary's comedy is about 5 years old.
Are there actually people who just pay some attention to Leary? I mean to that talentless fucking thieve? Oh I couldn't imagine. I think Bill said it all about him 15 years ago with this 3 seconds bit at the end of the clip about how miserable he is. That could be Leary's biography.
@aciddmc i wasnt implying the host was denis leary if thats what you thought......if so...you apparently arent aware of the bill hicks/leary controversy.
Loved the Dennis Leary jab. Leary is a funny guy, but Hicks is in a league of his own - even today. That, btw, is really sad. Seen the Dennis Leary HuLu ad? I'm pretty sure that Bill would never have done any commercial (lol) but I know for certain he wouldn't have done that one.
Not seen this clip before. Its sad he's no longer around - imagine what his youtube channel would be like. On the bright side though, every one of his routines is as relevant now as it was then and its great that a whole new generation are able to hear him tell it like it is. Many thanks for posting.
respect given and well deserved, but it's like music, eventually everybody influenced everybody in some way before them. Henny youngman? To me it seems very dependent on your generation. Love Lenny and George, too! Peace
For context as to why the end was hilarious to Hicks you might want to listened Hicks' mid-career stuff and compare it to a couple years later when Leary got famous. Notice some material similarities? lol
Hey, Dennis, you want to maybe explain to everybody how here you could actually get Hicks and admire him, then when W became President you swallowed his satan-cum-laden prick of flaccid conservative weapon-of-mass-distraction bullshit? You fucking whore. Hicks would've happily given you the verbal bitch-slapping you've long earned.
@midniter07 Hicks was the comic that Miller wanted to be and never could be. Primarily because he alwasy was a right winger but hid it like a lot of people in show business nowadays because he is a cumlapping pussy. He has to be on radio because he failed everywhere else on TV except SNL and HBO.
@midniter07 Thank you for putting into perfect words what I have thought about Dennis Miller for some time. It pisses me off every time Miller mentions Hicks.
Bush was no conservative. Hicks knew that Republicans and Democrats were equally satans cum swallowers. "ALL Governments are liars and murderers", Bill Hicks.
@RCTPatriot75 "Bush was no conservative" LOL! Bush was the conservatives' wet dream! He rubber stamped all the moronic policies that the inbreds and rednecks lusted for for years.
George W. didn’t take shit from no arab folk, unlike you left wing hippy cock suckers. Grow some balls faggot like Miller and maybe you might see the world in a perspective which is not filtered through a pair of unpatriotic, pushover, politically correct, self-loathing, pretentious spectacles
@midniter07 I can answer that! It's because Bill was 100% right on his transcendentalist ideas but was totally naive about who the good guys were. You swallow the "Change We Need" cum I'm sure. And thanks to geniuses like yourself we have a communist in the white house with the mind of a child.
It's nice seeing Bill smile.

Yeah, Dennis Miller is a fucking dumbass. What a stupid Bush asslicker. Interesting hearing about Leary being big over in England at the time. Him and Hicks crossing paths while he got ready to steal from him.

Also love all the right-wingers justifying his Reagan/Bush rants by saying how much he hated "politics in general". I never heard him railing on Jimmy Carter, Harry Truman, FDR....did I miss that?
He hated right-wing idiot rednecks, which is about 50% of the country right now. He would be having a field day with the tea-bagging dipshits were he with us today.

Hicks was an original (not counting Lenny Bruce.) Absolutely brilliant, and the definition of Edgy. No one like him since. Even his Chicks Dig Jerks song was hilarious.
I always liked Dennis. His Weekend Update segment was my favorite SNL stuff at the time, and through the years his articulate wit, common sense and command of pop culture minutiae made his comedy fantastic. To see him piss off the Libs, now, is icing on the cake. Hate on, Drones. Dennis Miller Rules.

Wow, a bunch of haters of Miller in comments. Don't hate comedians for their politics. Miller is funny as hell and so is Hicks. Miller is classic. So is Hicks.
Edubbplate 1 year ago
@Edubbplate yes, but pretending that what dennis miller is doing now is comedy is kind of absurd. Comedy speaks truth TO power, not stick up for it. He is no longer comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable, he is doing the opposite, standing up for the status qup. Gross.

I agree... There is tons of music made by people with completely opposing views to mine, yet I see no reason why I would let that prevent me from enjoying their music...
Same with comedy, or any other form of entertainment for that matter..
I would bet that politically, Hicks and I would disagree on a good amount of stuff.. But I would be laughing my ass off the whole time. That's the problem with people today.. They HATE people for the views.. it's quite prejudice.
calosity 1 year ago
@calosity Yep. Well said. Just laugh at the shit. Comedy isn't about "speaking truth to power" or any other communist slogan. It's simply about making people laugh with your personal views of the world. You can disagree and still find it funnier than shit.
Edubbplate 1 year ago
@Edubbplate .. the first amendment is communist? did I miss something? Anyways, if you watch some of his BBC interviews, you'll see that Bill Hicks openly (and specifically) disagreed with your statement about comedy "simply making people laugh." "Maybe you would enjoy a juggling act?" LOL

@dannyd1572 Actually SNL was his only real success and his HBO show. Miller has and always will be a racist rigthwinger-he just hid it for years like a number of celebrities. Jon Voight, Kelsey Grammar, Gary Sinise-all right wingers who been hidng their beliefs for years. At least Charleton Heston made his views known just watch BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE.
MultiSmartass1 1 year ago
@MultiSmartass1 Yeah, he had a few good things on SNL. However, his comic timing sucks and his references to things that the average person has no idea about, are all lame and fall on deaf ears. When your on Monday Night Footlball and you say something like "like Jerry Rice just caught that ball like Jimmy Stewart caught a cold in the second part of Its A Wonderful Life, when he saw the angel near the bridge." That kind of crap fell on deaf ears.

@dannyd1572 I don't know who's idea it was to put him on MNF. He's a comic and a sarcastic one at that. Most announcers are straight forward Mom and Pop and apple pie right wing wackos. He's intelligent and I get his references but he has always been cold and passionless despite his rants.

@JG129 Yes, we do live in a strange place. However, I would have to contend that the "whores" are the corporations; most of us working for them are merely slaves. It is a very strange place, indeed. I've been to Europe and the people are far less strange there. They have less whores per capita, "whoring" is legal, AND you can blatantly spot out a whore there. Here, the whores are very disguised, but there's more of them!!! :~D

Loved the Dennis Leary jab. Leary is a funny guy, but Hicks is in a league of his own - even today. That, btw, is really sad. Seen the Dennis Leary HuLu ad? I'm pretty sure that Bill would never have done any commercial (lol) but I know for certain he wouldn't have done that one.

Not seen this clip before. Its sad he's no longer around - imagine what his youtube channel would be like. On the bright side though, every one of his routines is as relevant now as it was then and its great that a whole new generation are able to hear him tell it like it is. Many thanks for posting.

Hey, Dennis, you want to maybe explain to everybody how here you could actually get Hicks and admire him, then when W became President you swallowed his satan-cum-laden prick of flaccid conservative weapon-of-mass-distraction bullshit?

@midniter07 Hicks was the comic that Miller wanted to be and never could be. Primarily because he alwasy was a right winger but hid it like a lot of people in show business nowadays because he is a cumlapping pussy. He has to be on radio because he failed everywhere else on TV except SNL and HBO.
