Bill Hicks: Relentless - Just For Laughs Festival (1992) [FULL]

[nickshel]

Gotta love bill's taste in intro music

[HellDevil75]

@nickshel Do you know what the song at the start of the video is? I've been looking for it before, but I can't find it.

[central848]

HILL BILLY: "hey buddy weir CHRISTIAN we don't like what you said"

BILL: "then forgive me"

that killed me man....

[talkingmonkey420]

Fuckin epic...still finding my mind after it was blown the fuck up...

[EPICPokerTV4]

Jim Fixx was a smoker

[hellomaxk]

a funny philosopher

[akaast]

As much as I love bill I wish that he had written more material instead of recycling it so much over the years to the point where it wasn't even relevant anymore. "Hey guys remember when Bush lost 5 years ago, I laughed my ass off".

[daz2142]

I hate and love watching this at the same time. I love watching this man because he knew the real world but i hate watching it because i wish people like him were still here. Its like he said, all the good guys get murdered. There are some sick sick people on this planet (you probably know who im talking about) and its about time we the people dealt with them. Its a win or lose situation, Bill knew that, thats why hes dead.

[kiranslam]

"well you ever tried it?"....

[ryanexsus]

@WiseOwlOfGallifrey He died way young. Who knows if lived to be as old as Carlin if he would have surpassed him.

[thisisGC]

@WiseOwlOfGallifrey I think argueing about the origins of satire is missing the point. If you really got into Bill Hicks, and those with the same ideals, Its not really so much about him pointing out a many 'specific' flaws, of our terribly ignorant existance... but more about giving us examples, that may be easier to relate to, guiding us towards our own realisations.

[trippygraffiti]

47:04 So fucking true!

[majorkeybaree]

@trippygraffiti 00 - 1:00:08 fucking true.

[Arrow370]

I love a lot of what this guy has to say, but jesus christ is he nuts.

[DavidSimoneTV]

Hicks would be having a heyday with today's media coverage!

[RuchinBecks]

19:58 Freakin Badass...yeahhhh

[atom560]

GENIUS!!!



[clearair]

07:40-08:20 .. that's showmanship. NO ONE else could nail a moment like that AND get a laugh. Amazing.

[clearair]

I fucking miss this guy ;(

[benthejrporter]

What a great man! So sad he left us too young. Thanks for posting.

[koumisp]

hmm.. around 41 min

I think that vertebrate was the first (not the next) step in our evolution. It was then when we lost the ability to reach our own penis that we started of thinking of other things as well once in a while ..

[Opelel88]

you are all hillbilly rednecks. Peace :)

[Rosvosektori]

I think Bill Hicks would have loved Marilyn Manson and the black metal scene from Norway. ;> Play from your fucking heart!!! <666

[nitrotrigger]

1) Bring the troops back

2) Use the money to bring Bill Hicks back to life (fuck it, we will find a way!)

3) Make him the president

4) USA! USA! USA!

[jankapjanka94]

@nitrotrigger dude, you really don't get the point of what he is saying...

[DJSRF]

I know he's dead. Any smart (or nearly smart) person wont take what I said literally. Pretending to talk to someone to emphasize a point, should not be taken literally. @withthebirdillshare and @americancryer you two are idiots. What makes you even think that if a comedian was alive, that he'd read AND reply? Ignorance IS NOT a bliss

[Kabimbabo]

"I'm Bill Hicks, and I'm dead now"

I Laughed.

[hewhoshunsthelight]

i am so wasted and laughing so hard i think i'm about to bring up a lung

[SloMoHeap]

Legend and a way ahead of his time.

[DJSRF]

He's kinda funny, but please STOP screaming,you dick-cheese. And stop stretching every joke, just to squeeze every laugh out of them..your jokes are funny, and I'm sure he can come up with enough material

[AmericanCryer]

@DJSRF Who are you talking to? What makes you think he is listening or reading your comments? He's been dead since '95! WTF?

[withthebirdillshare]

@DJSRF You're talking to a dead man matey. 1994, deceased.

[mrpointment1]

from 31:25 to about 31:37 is the truest shit ive heard.the things we could do.the human mind is amazing and a fuckin curse at the same time.were fuckin killin ourselves.george carlin and this dude are 2 of the very few examples of how the fuck humans should think.

[charlesyeozc]

Man, I was too young to appreciate Bill Hicks when he was still with us on this bloody blue marble.

[scabbybuttcrack]

"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."

Bill had it figured out a long time ago.

[AmericanCryer]

@scabbybuttcrack Thing is, scientists actually found that matter IS energy condensed to a slow vibration.

[CliffRichardsPissSac]

his magnum opus for me, this is him at his most brutal, most intence and his best delivery for his classic material

[ciaobellakate]

It's sad he's gone. But he's up in heaven now, reminiscing about all those times he got high and sniffing Yul Brynner's noggin.

[ciaobellakate]

His sound effects are amazing... among other things.

[IndigoInc22]

@4unumber1 If Bill Hicks came back to life, he'd die again. I mean, he'd lose his mind. American Gladiators? No, that was nothing compared to American Idol or The Jersey Shore. Bill Hicks would gouge his eyes out with a school cafeteria spork. People don't notice what's wrong because marketers have gotten us to sell our souls slowly, over a 20 year period that rammped up in 2000 and took off in 2001.

[ARKBUILDER100]

@IndigoInc22 TOO right mate! Britain`s not so far behind either-slightly worrying...

[sista4love]

3 ppl still dont kno the truth...

[AmericanCryer]

Play from your fucking heart! Love from your fucking heart! Speak from your fucking heart! LIVE FROM YOUR HEART!

[BelaFleckFan]

Thanks for posting this

[willy12345ization]

Man, we sure could use this guy around today. love ya Bill.

[maxdorries]

in capzeyez bill wondered how much bullshit the world could take... not much more people are finally starting to wake up and take a squeegee to their third eye thats why there is so much violence. We're sick n fuckin tired of money ruling the planet and were starting to fight back to clean our collective consciousness and rid it of the diseases spread by corporate enterprises

[PhilmannDark]

Did they try to clean that mike afterwards or burned it?

[thedimestoresaint]

Out of those seventy-nine that he was referring to, I believe two of those were suicides.

[Molblu]

I love this performance! A very hilarious quote is from 0:54:45- 0:55:05 >XD!

[Tw15ted5h1t]

Bill u r one dead motherfucker. But happy birthday anyway man. I'll c u in hell my friend

[liamMCR]

Happy 50th Birthday Bill - you are so needed right now! Miss you so much Bill and I know loads of other people do too, you're a huge inspiration. We need more people like you on this planet. Look forward to jammin' on the harp with you in heaven! RIP you wonderful man

[asfarfafar]

@liamMCR Yeah, he was a great man..if you don't know him already, I suggest you check out Doug Stanhope, he has a similar style, and he is great too ;)

[liamMCR]

@asfarfafar I'm well aware of Doug Stanhope and as great as he is, there's something about him that just doesn't do it for me. He kinda irritates me which Bill never did - Bill was so sharp. Don't get me wrong stanhope hits some important subjects, but for me personally no one comes close to Hicks in terms of discussing serious subjects whilst being incredibly funny at the same time. Bill was the best, along with Carlin and Prior, my opinion.

[asfarfafar]

@liamMCR yeah, well everyone has his own kind of humor ;)

My favourites are Hicks, Carlin, Stanhope, Jimmy Carr, and some other, I also recently discovered that I love Eddie Izzard :P

[pacianofilm]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHEREVER YOU ARE, BILL. I LOVE YOU!

[condemned2love]

i don't know why, but I need to watch this over and over again, love it!

[danzilor]

The world needs Bill Hicks back

[defndpoppunk]

bill hicks is a fucking god. if i could bring back anyone it would be bill hicks. i know there are other choices but id rather hear bill hicks's opinion on today's culture

[maxdorries]

@defndpoppunk i know what bill'd say twenty fuckin years not a motherfuckin difference

[mpvolbrecht]

@defndpoppunk Do you think Bill Hicks wants u to bring him back? Fuck no.

[PnutButter1986]

@defndpoppunk I don't think Hicks would want to come back. He was well before his time and his comedy still stands relevant today. You think he would want to live in a world of Justin Bieber war profiteering and general mediocrity?

[ARKBUILDER100]

@PnutButter1986 Well I only `found` him recently,tho read a really good "Guardian" article on him few years back,hadn`t known he had died-! My only criticism is some references to sex which are so graphic and not funny(says Julie Andrews!).Otherwise what a breath of fresh air!Not the the warmth of say Billy Connelly,Ross Noble etc.but seriously funny,anarchic-definitively his own man,and a sensitive 1 at that.-unsurprised at his initial lack of popularity n America.

[ARKBUILDER100]

@ARKBUILDER100 So now I`m grief-stricken AND in love!Would love to have seen him in Brighton,but wondering whether he ever ventured up North England?Ah well in my dreams..x

[PnutButter1986]

@ARKBUILDER100 He's not supposed to be 'warm' - he calls himself a dark poet. I disagree with but respect your opinion that his sexual references are distasteful. 'Goatboy' if you've heard of him is just the embodiment of our instinctual lust. We all have dark and dirty thoughts and a comic such as Bill voicing them just reassures us that its ok to be lustful

[somika87]

@defndpoppunk well, I have to say this: I don't know what he'd say about it, 'cos that's impossible to determine, but he'd have inspiration for new material, that's for sure.

[silverkeltoi]

non-smokers die every day

true story bro

[zcxvasdfqwer1234]

Man Bill is reminding me of Heath Ledger as the Joker right now...then again, Bill probably would have torn that correlation to pieces hehe

[HaLfDeAdArtist1]

Bill hicks and george carlin would have gotten along and made an impact like MLK and Malcolm x would have together.

[TheWolfmoon21]

@HaLfDeAdArtist1 I would have loved to have seen both of them sat together discussing stuff

[xhellonhighheels69x]

I'm totally in love with this guy.

[DivineThought2011]

@steved8878, he also stole the tracheotomy routine, the voicebox routine... No Cure For Cancer was basically a Bill Hicks rehash.....sad isn't it?

[DivineThought2011]

@steved8878 Yup.

[Devoti]

18:50 lol, fucking great point.

[waIIflower]

I love and miss you, Bill. Wish you were still here today.

[Kile1592]

Adam Freedland's song, We Want Your Soul, brought me here.

[fjanton83]

HAHAHAHAH HE IS SO STRANGE

[theogofextreme]

If only Bill Hicks and George Carlin were alive present day.

[loooosefer]

Bill Hicks you were a visionary, thank you to a beautiful mind

[littlebd7]

"I'm Bill Hicks, and I'm dead now"

almost cried.

[Nadrealis]

@littlebd7 you said it man, tore my heart.

[Kabimbabo]

@littlebd7 I Laughed :) Don`t pollute our world with self-pity and personal comments

[littlebd7]

@Kabimbabo .. wuut?

[BrziJoe]

Motherlickin' prophet of humanity and evolution. R.I.P.

[bloody31234]

@BrziJoe Indeed, a prophet he was

R.I.P Bill

I heard Hendrix is on harp, enjoy your stay you've earned it!

[magicalray93]

thanks for the inspiration and putting a smile on my face bill!

[Stunts]

who the fuck disliked?

[MrSpunkyspunky]

a legend and my kids will FUCKING LISTEN TO YOU :)

[DemonCannibal731]

PLAY FROM YOUR FUCKING HEART!!

[toolfreakBD]

All his life he tried to wake up people, stood up against the deception the monarchs and authorities were portraying. A fallen hero bt immortal forever in the minds of people of different wave. And if u dint get the real messages of Bill Hicks.. u r the loser.

[toolfreakBD]

There is two types of comedians.. one who makes u laugh.. u luv em a lot... u think damn this guy is the best... i just peed my pants by laughin blah blah.. and theres 2nd type who make u laugh along with creates a devastating question in ur mind. Am i free? Am i living in freedom? Do the authority care? Is there someone out their reliable? BILL HICKS is the best of them. A Hero who dint only make us laugh... he talked his heart out. He showed us whats right or wrong?(Continued)

[ignorancemovement]

@divinespirit87 uhm....i'm confused. what was that a reply to?

[timewilltell7]

@ignorancemovement

divine i feel exactly what you're saying

[supercosplaypro]

If rock is Satan's music, then Bill is in Hell jaming to his old roommate's music.

[MrSTEN2011]

whoesver disliked this sucks satans cock

[ScaniaChan]

I'm almost ashamed to say that now, but... I actually like most of Judas Priest's albums.

[TwistedQuills]

Oh YESS! I remember watching this on Ch4 (UK) in '92. Seen bits of his stuff before. Instant fan!

Was gobsmacked when he died. Imagine the fun he would've had with the Monica Lewinsky scandal! And Dubya? Forget it, he wouldn't have to think, a year of material would write itself! R.I.P Goatboy. We miss you dude

[Myggannn]

I see that ONE dislike this video.... I guess George Bush learned how to use the internet.

[ddk992]

absolutely magnificent.

[Myggannn]

It such a shame that you got cancer, Bill.... I would love to hear what you had to say about today's politics, crap-artists and societies.

RIP Bill, your are missed every day.

[steved8878]

Smoking, Jim Fixx, even the Judas Priest stuff.......wow, No Cure For Cancer was one of my all time favorites until just now. I had no idea. Hear that sound? It's my respect for Leary crashing to the ground.

[TonyKhlopotov]

say it like it is Bill.

[Topherlee2]

Is it just me or does Bill kinda looks like Phil Hartman (from SNL in the late 80's to early 90's) here?

[jasmoran66]

@Topherlee2 It's just you.

[j4unumber1]

You thought it was bad in the early 90s, Mr. Hicks? What happened then is child's play compared to what is happening today. I know you passed away before experiencing what humanity is unfortunately experiencing in this day and age. Had you lived to see this, Mr. Hicks, you would have had much material. The USA has been pretty crazy since your passing, particularly at the international level. For example, you missed Bush Jr. as President. You would have been extremely disappointed in him.

[deathbot290]

@j4unumber1 well I think of it as god took bill before the world crumbled, and that he probably wanted him to do standup in heaven haha

[ignorancemovement]

@j4unumber1 you sir, are an idiot

[samqueler]

@j4unumber1 he wouldn't have beendissapointed in GW, he's the entitled cokehead christan son of a president he loathed. Obama on the other hand, would've been absolutely infuriating to Bill.

[freindsareforever1]

@j4unumber1 yeah for sure the government has been bad but he has a point.. on tv and on underground news its all chaos and trying to get us excited..but then look out your window, it isnt as bad as news will try to make it seem.. if people are in a panic they don't think clear and politics and truth movements do nothing but get people in a panic..down with politics up with comedy

[salvi1979]

@j4unumber1

Disappointed in Bush Jr? LOL!!!!!! Hicks was like this when Bill Clinton was in his first term and he was probably the only competent president in the last 40 plus years, Hicks would have assassinated Bush Jr with no hesitation or remorse!!

[scrubbycritter]

Genius, Bill was a hero.  His comedy was great, but the reason why he is so respected is because he used his voice to unveil the truth about the insane state of our world.

[TheFrix8]

The cussing and different voices looks forced. It totally screws up the act. But he has some god jokes.

[Zootmaster]

@TheFrix8 looks forced? i'd like to see you re-write this act making it equally as funny without using those "forced" curse words. Grow up and stop thinking of words as taboo, then maybe you'll finally be able to enjoy the best comedy (carlin, hicks, prior, stanhope, etc)

[ignorancemovement]

@Zootmaster ha, owned

[BayviewFinch]

@Zootmaster - Actually, some of this is forced. It's the exact material he used in previous routines. It's not just naturally coming out.

[SolarEXtract]

@TheFrix8 Go some place safe. Go see fucking Madonna!

[ignorancemovement]

@TheFrix8 fucking dumb shit ass licking damn bastard stupid bitch, there is nothing fucking wrong with cussing. shit

[BobBurnnquist]

Hicks was always full of horseshit.

[stormbringer27]

@BobBurnnquist and your a pulsating enigma growing off the face of the earth, please take some time out to swallow whatever you find under the sink you crusty shit stain.

[skuldude]

His second best performance, but not by much.

[BillHicksArchive]

Copyrighted material = Adverts...Sorry about that.

[ferocioustick]

@BillHicksArchive Its worth it to watch a great like hicks at work! Thanks again for posting all these specials!

[ARKBUILDER100]

@ferocioustick What a rebel-he reminds us that we should stand up-and not put up with lies and mediocrity X
