  • You don´t meet people often with this clarity.

  • "Can't please all the people all the time and, last night, all those people were at my show."

    -Mitch Hedberg

  • Carlin and Hicks, however much they deconstruct the church and the Bible, are like modern prophets. All the rage and vision and motility of a Moses or a Jeremiah, and their subject matter sometimes overlaps. Pharaoh heckled Moses and Aaron, and Pilate heckled Jesus.

  • @Sp33dyMik3 You have to understand that most british humor is men wearing womens clothing and screeching obnoxiously in awful accents, with a laugh track shoehorned in to let you know when its safe to laugh

  • The rare couple of Brits who didn't understand him.

  • Bill the world needs you right now it's such a shame you passed away

    RIP

  • Man if Bill Hicks were alive today........ I would have loved to see his reaction to 911

  • i always find it a strange coincidence, important people who are about to make a distinct social change die before it happens, Bill Hicks, Jack Layton, Bob Marley, senator wellstone,

  • @modestiny85 its interesting you say that because bill hicks himself mentions something similar to that in some of his stand ups.

  • @cjb8824 MLK, John Lennon, malcolm x

  • bill hicks reminds me of a philosophy professor....

  • Bill Hicks and Frank Zappa would have been a dynamic duo

  • That woman interviewer I think is exactly the kind of person he makes fun of in his act, but she's just too dumb to realize it... It's like she's saying, "But I want to be dumb and not think about anything, why won't you let me!?"... Hahaha the juggler line is the best subtle insult I think I've ever heard LOL too bad she's too out of it to get it.

  • @comedyisgreat24 Actually come to think of it, that's the precise reason why he can say something like that, because he knows she WON'T understand LOL

  • ya that woman is literally the exact type of idiot bill is talking about. "they dont want to think they want to laugh".. im sorry i think those go hand in hand, you must THINK something is funny if you wanna laugh. there has to be some idea, thing, expression that goes through your MIND that makes you laugh. i know she means that people dont want to go deep into things the way bill does, but still she is a moron.

  • 1 person is a juggler

  • That woman is just the people he was talking about. Some people are so dumb we did not come to think we came to laugh. Well stupid the same neurons that you would use to laugh are only followed by the neuron that you had the first thought that what you heard was funny. Laughter is a cause and effect game first you see something funny then you think about it then after it registers then you laugh sometimes it takes a second or a minute for all these neurons to connect but thinking is involved.

  • "There are no lines. Erase all the lines."

    Brilliant philosophy.

  • I am a Bill Hicks fan, and this is one of the most interesting and insightful pieces of footage that I have seen of him, on- or off-stage. Man, I wish he was still around.

  • Fucking hell was she really having this coversation with Bill? Did she care that much about entertainment and crossing lines?!

  • we do want to think!

  • I hope Bill drilled her after the interview too

  • legit teary-eyed over this vid. he was jesus. no one will ever come close to him. the fact that he wasnt alive to see George W, American Idol and Dane fucking Cook is a serious injustice to humanity.

  • @theAbysmalDepths

    He was amazing. He had a huge heart too, I don't think many people see that. I am also really curious to know what he thought about things now in the 21st century - 9/11, Iraq, Billy Ray Cyrus' spawn. Oh my god, don't even get me started on Dane Cook. Bill would have massacred that guy.

  • @ciaobellakate he did have a huge heart, even though he sometimes said otherwise. the fact that many words of his still hold relevance, if not even more relevancy in todays world is the best part. he knew things. i didnt even think of the Miley Cyrus thing. he'd have torched her like a pro.

  • @theAbysmalDepths The christians have "What Would Jesus Do?", we could have "What Would Bill Do?"

  • @lianap11 amen.

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

  • @jessydaytime i was gonna type tht lol

  • Why is it that to think is to blaspheme?....to the religious belief system that is..

  • I get his frustration. So few people in this day and age sit down and think. It's really quite terrifying, how our fellow brothers and sisters can be so stupid and fall for all the bullshit. I wonder what it is..

  • ''Can I recommend some jugglers you might like....'' Ahh he is CLASSSS!!!!! We miss you brother.

  • Anyone not getting this, well ther apparantly jugglers avalible.

  • The look on that woman's face is such a perfect metaphor for what he was trying to explain.

  • Jugglers.

  • "What am I supposed to do? Tickle them individually?" Haha we was such a great comedian, philosopher, a truly exceptional human being. Happy 50th birthday, Bill. You will never be forgotten

  • Lol "Can I recommend some jugglers you may like?"

  • RIP Bill Hicks. Unconventional and controversial, he never wavered from the battle on free thinking and free speech. He was the epitome of a true American, and dispelled the grand delusion of censorship. We suffer from lack his true heroism.

  • Hard to tell from the context (TV show?), but I don't think the woman is stupid, she's just spurring the conversation with hypotheticals like "Why can't you be more like what we're used to, Bill?" which allows Hicks to talk about creativity and not defining comedians as people who just recite jokes. The best comedians get you to think and to think about why you think that way. Her sitting there and fawning all over him, telling him how great he was, would just be boring.

  • I would have been Bills friend.

  • man, what's wrong with people these days! these comedians need to realize that nobody wants to think anymore. dumbed-down, empty, superficial humor is what everyone wants. you have to try to please everyone. ignorance is in, thinking is LONG gone. fuck bill hicks! and george carlin too! kim kardashian is the REAL intellectual in this world.

  • At 2:55 Bill drops his head and you see that he realises what a close minded fool the woman is.

  • How dare that jumped up slut shake her head at Hicks for giving his opinion. Aren't interviewers supposed to be impartial?? I miss Bill, I never met or saw the man in the flesh but I mourn his passing. Man after my heart. NO FUCKING LINES!

  • oh mannn, that is the best shit. champion hero man

  • Who is that cunt?

  • "can I recommend some jugglars you might like?"

    BOOM!!!! Fuck. You. Bitch.

  • punch that women in the face!

    

  • bill hicks you were a cool cat, and your message still flows...... peace & love

  • Bill hicks is the most honest and best comedian I've ever seen except for george carlin. But I like the great bick better then all of them. even richard pryor

  • Damn i sleept on this guy! Love George calin, Dave chappelle and so on and so on, But i missed out on Bill hicks. 3vids on youtube deep and lots more to come......love :)

  • that lady needs her back doors seeing too.

  • "Can I recommend some jugglers you might like"

    Bill Hicks was pure class, a head and a half above everyone else.

    I honestly think the world would be a better and a bit different place if he were alive today.

    It sure as hell would be more bearable...

  • wow bill hicks was really awesome, when someone disagrees with me in my anthro class i freeze for him to do this on tv with thousand hating on him is unreal

  • this woman really represents the idea of the average amerian. she is dumb, ignorant, and thick headed. i dont understand the alternative act she would rather have hicks do. what is her problem? she is almost suggesting that a person should just make a clown out of themself rather than express ideas and opnions and articulate on these idea. thats why i love bills last comic. it just sums up bills point so well

  • @conormcguire96 I think it's worth it to point out that she's not American, and that ignorance exists everywhere.

  • @conormcguire96 What's an amerian? I would guess ur trying to say American, but you try and call her ignorant when u can't even spell a goddam countries name right, and she's obviously not American if you heard two words come out of her mouth. Be serious for a second though and really think. If you can't even spell the name of the country you're trying to call ignorant, who really looks dumb?

  • He has spawned such a movement from just being honest, that he deserves a higher recognition than bullshit on YT. He needs a statue erected for his sincere heart. I don't idolize, but I love the love he gave. Allah, Buddha, Jesus, John the Baptist, Muhammad,Crowley, Bruce Lee, Ghandi... all those brothas, gave from their purest heart. Bill is just as bright a star. Great interview.

  • doesnt sound like his father supported him :/

  • she was buzzed

  • Thinking IS entertaining. If you don't like to think, you don't deserve to be entertained.

  • I think it already has been mentioned..but this woman is a fucking tool!

  • why cant you do things that appeal to everyone ? last i checked i thought the TRUTH was for everyone.

  • Lol.

    2:35-239

    

  • bitch needs slapped

  • What a complete idiot that woman is, "people don't want to think" may be the most dangerous thing I have ever heard somebody say. How can you not want to think? Without thought what are we, just mere animals. Stupid people using remarks like that is the reason we are completely morally inept in this world we live in

  • I get the "don't wanna think, just wanna be entertained" cause the majority of the views you'll be getting with anything, statistically, are from idiots. So the easier and simpler, unoffensive, and silly, and dishonest, and fake; the more the idiots like it. Almost every movie now falls in that category. But if we had more open thinkers, not artists, just people who are willing to understand and think, we wouldn't all be getting fucked in the ass so bad.

  • @FrettingCajarot : Absolutely love this comment, one of the best i've seen on youtube. Couldn't put it better than this.

  • and then I'll rape her dead body until it is no longer a solid mass of flesh fit for raping

  • that woman deserves to be stripped naked and raped for hours upon hours and then her strangled carcass locked in my cupboard

  • such a stupid woman

  • what a dumb ass that woman is! "they don't want to think... they want to be entertained".... yah dumb ass therein lies one of the main problems with — I'm sorry — but what I gotta call SUB-humans on this earth!

  • Who is that woman?

  • this is the world wawawa and this is you wah wah wah

  • I think he restrained himself pretty well... must have felt pretty pissed at that lady.

  • Somebody shoot that woman please.

  • Erase all the lines, man... Seriously though, it's comedy. There doesn't need to be a line.

  • That woman fills me with a staggering amount of frustration! People like that are so fringing narrow minded and annoying! Bill was the fucking man!

  • Wow by reading some of the coments, or should that be arguments, one would assume that the woman in this particular piece really got some peoples goat. So here goes.

    I am sorry for the woman in this piece, as a woman and English I am sorry.

    Besides she has probably lost her job now due to the mass of job cuts in England now, bwahhh ha ha ha.

  • somebody cut this woman's head clean off with a chain saw !

  • YES, thank you! I saw this interview some time ago, but that particular video must have been taken down at some point, because I couldn't find it for ages. Delighted to see it's been re-uploaded!

  • WHAT....tha....heck...is she trying to do? I can't even think about comedy that doesn't make you think.

  • they're supposed to be interviewing him, right? Yet, they're expressing their opinions over him. Watch as he realizes @ 2:55, these individuals have closed their minds and he can't get through. Hick's expression can come all too often in this society.

  • 0 dislikes. Looks like people are your friends Bill.

  • Near the end I think the woman surprised herself with her own stupidity. Good stuff.

  • @bishyalergmail Im confused as to why you say that...and why so many people liked it?? The woman wasnt surprised at all... she was totally disagreeing and fought till the end!

  • i was just about to comment about that moron woman, you guys got it covered i see. Also, anybody else notice how much better comments on Hicks videos are? Still chirping but at least they are thought out, and i didn't see one "lol" LOL!

  • @mitchsmullet lol!

  • sages... where are they?

    are they all dead?

  • Wow. That woman needs to be slapped in the mouth.

  • I hope that woman sees these fucking comments.

  • This woman is stupid beyond logic.

  • The woman in this video is a cunt who doesn't understand comedy. She looks kind of old, so I hope she's dead by now, so that there is one less idiot in the world who tries to oppress free expression and comedy. The guy had it right by calling Hicks' behavior admirable. Hicks sold tickets for a reason... because he is talented in comedy. The bitch in the blue dress needs to shut her dick sucker. She can't handle the fact that Hicks has more fame than her. She needs to kill herself.

  • I'm from England but WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE LIMEYS TALKING ABOUT!?

  • WHYS HE dead and that evil fuker Kissinger just going on and onnnn and on and ONNN? Shit. i remember him when there was black and white TV and he looked the fukin same!!

  • @zezt Good point! Doesn't make any freaking sense how guys like Kissenger, Soros, Rockefuker etc are freaking eating olives flyin around the globe at our expense! 

  • "Erase all the lines"

    This guy was such a threat to them, no wonder he is dead.

  • the guy was reasoning.. i guess, but still he was being pressured by his superiors.

    Just like when you get a job... everyone kisses each others ass.. its sick... i pretend everyday at my job but they don't know im into billl hicks, george carlin and a true human spirit.

  • Bill there trying to be polite, what he should have said was fuck off condescending bitch

  • The great Bill Hicks talking with adamant conformists! What a fuckin shame!

    We love you Bill!

  • amazing clip

  • she needs to just sit there shut upp and listen and look pretty

  • fuck that stupid bitch

  • LOL he even tossed in some Goatboy! BILL!!!...... Bill did what he was suppose to do... now it's up to the rest of us to listen and put it into action....

  • "What am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to go out and tickle them individually?"

    Fucking classic.

  • Come back, Bill. We love, miss you, and we need you.

  • that bitch is retaaaarded...."but they want to be entertained, they dont want to think.......When did thinking become entertaining!" his ender just puts it to her. I fucking miss this guy

  • love ya Hicks!

  • haha I love Bill. Listens and is cordial to the air head and then lays the smack down at the end.

  • This woman makes herself the joke

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

  • @zonsb bwahahaha i would love to have seen her reaction, what a ludicrously stupid woman

  • "Well where do you go to think, I'll meet you there" so true of modern society and the woman proves it. Seriously though you can't talk about anything intellectual even around university students.

  • 2.35 HEAD EXPLOSION!

  • 2.37 HEAD EXPLOSION!

  • i love how he say "and also...it's my show!"

  • what an idiot bitch.

  • Please visit my Bill Hicks tribute channel.Miss & Luv Ya Bill!

  • heh jugglers..well played mr hicks.

    ps: eeesh that woman, get a load of her shaking her head at the notion of thinking.

  • Mate is she (female interviewer) a case or what mate!

  • that woman is everything that is wrong with television and the human race.

  • @jimmydore agreed, and it doesn't even look like she's playing devils advocate. she kept reiterating the audience opinions that bill just got done telling her without adding anything to them while at the same time completely disregarding bill's logical rebuttals.

    to the point about, "making everybody laugh," check out the recent 'doug loves movies' podcast featuring joe rogan & sam tripoli (cue to 11:45). joe tells an anecdote about jay leno responding to a hicks joke directed at him.

  • @jimmydore not really, but she has her views. They're not right, they're not wrong. It's just her opinion :)

  • @torment3d Thanks for the comment, it is worthless and an example of backward, lazy thinking that a grown up would be embarrassed of. Thats my opinion :)

  • @jimmydore you need to understand that women think differently also. They are not "logical" creatures, but rather are guided by emotion. A good time for man, which may consist of deconstructing the elements of the universe, for a woman could be dancing.etc.

  • @torment3d You need to remember that you are really dumb and miss the point of everything. You have a defective brain and were raised poorly. People who think like you are a drag on society . Thats my opinion :)

  • @jimmydore wow... I was actually trying to have a conversation with you about a point of view - good to see that despite you loving bill hicks, you are incredibly closed-minded. Don't bother responding, as you're now on ignore..

  • @torment3d Should have predicted that you are not only dumb but a pussy. Thats not wrong cuz its just my opinion.

  • @torment3d

    Ummm I like deconstructing the elements of the universe, whilst dancing... and i'm a woman, who loves Bill Hicks ... who can apply logic... where does that fit into your stereotypes? :-O

    There is nothing logical about Bill Hicks... he was creative and full of passion, and intelligent with it, but also guided by his emotions... logic is none of those things... these aren't gender related attributes. By your defintion of how men and women 'think', Bill was a woman??

    :-O

  • @TheSpartacat have you heard of generalizations before?

  • @torment3d

    Yes, generalisations are a lazy man's philosophy .... thats my point... your comment was full of them

  • @TheSpartacat except for the fact that they are brought about as a result of observation of a large group of people. That said, if you read a generalization and go "hey, that's not me!", then you reside on the bell curve.

  • @torment3d

    Nope, i read your generalisations and thought, thats not really anybody, its just a generalisation, and not a very accurate one. Y'now, observing large groups of people isn't a great way of getting an insight into people...

    A random example- Wars are generally driven by men... but spending huge amounts of money on creating enemies through war (self perpetuating) in an already suppressed economy simply ISN'T logical - its an emotional response... largely fear driven i reckon...

  • @TheSpartacat well you'd be wrong, because they're observations made by some pretty big thinkers. As for your example, i wouldn't argue with it. haha. I would agree with that point.

  • @torment3d

    Being a big thinker doesnt make them right either.... lol :-) There are studies going on all the time that highlight the flaws of previous gender studies and theories, which are only theories btw... where statistics don't back up generalisations that are too widely regarded as factual ... Have a read of Brain Storm: The Flaws in the Science of Sex Differences by Rebecca Jordan-Young.

    Science has a terrible habit of thinking it has it all pegged. The world was once flat ya know.

  • @TheSpartacat

    I mean sure, physiologically, there are differences, which have an impact on brain function- visual and aural ability etc- but its pretty naiive to think that this is translatable into a dichotomy between emotion/logic. Don't forget, the world was a different place when the earlier studies were conducted and you had social conditioning also having an impact on behaviour.

    Ps... i'm not a feminist, in case you're wondering. lol

  • @TheSpartacat didn't think you were a feminist, simply someone who brings a rare, good conversation to youtube ;) I'll look up the book you mentioned, sounds good. The people I'm referring to are guys like David Dieda, Wilber.etc. These aren't exactly dated theories. Science doesn't think it has it all worked out, either. That's the beauty of it - someone will come along tomorrow and shatter established theories.

  • @TheSpartacat Religion on the other hand... haha

  • @TheSpartacat When women have been in power, historically they have been just as war-oriented. It is quite convenient that women have typically lacked the strength, intelligence or where-withall to have attained places in leadership since the dawn of man - as their genetic failings then leave a precedent for them to further still prove their lack of worth by blaming 'men'. Feminism preaches the lie that women never had a chance to speak or make a difference. It is collective, weak, passivity.

  • @maxdamagus Women can be just as evil as men. But women haven't had the same chance to think or make a difference that men had. (I'm saying that as an American, speaking for American society.)

  • @JQuig1984 They are far more evil. FAR more. Because they mean it. Guys do thing in the name of honour, the greater good, or for logical reasons, even anger must have a root. Women are chaotic beings and require no reason, and give them a rulebook, or any means to inflict harm without responsiblity and they will relish it. Women have been made unaccountable in so many ways. Every woman is a sadist because of an inbuilt inferiority complex.

  • @TheSpartacat There are always exceptions, and there are also those who learn the way of things - that choose a different path. That doesn't make it the norm for females at all. Quite the opposite. Your logic here is flawed (naturally), Bill was logical, he has the masculine gift of emotional restraint (which women lack (except in short bursts)) and a superior male logical mind. This combination isn't the norm necessarily either but rather what made him special.

  • @TheSpartacat there are exceptions to every rule, and those rare exceptions (simple really, as people can be born with more masculine or more feminine brains) then like to think that the majority of women must naturally possess superior masculine oriented braintypes, read chick-lit feminist pseudo-science (which often delves into 'spirituality' and 'auras'), based considerably less on fact than typical 'imaginary patriarchal oppressive' scientific studies, then go on gender-patriot trips.

  • @jimmydore

    shes such a stupid cunt... how the fuck is he going to do stand up without expressing an idea or opinion? stupid fuck.

  • @jimmydore That woman wasn't necesserily expressing her own beliefs. She was just pointing out the opposite statement, which is exactly what Mr. Hicks wanted to say. "There are no lines." We shouldn't try to please and be polite to each other, just realistic and truthful without any bad intentions.

  • type in "the bill hicks chronicles" for some inside bill hicks stories.
