Bill Hicks performing at Oxford - Part 2

[bubbyeater]

Given everything Bill Hicks said, were he to come back from the dead today, he'd have a field day. It'd take days just for him to say all his material.

[IntrepidMoocher]

We are the muppet people.

[robertomalone1000]

There are great stand-up comedians and then there's Bill Hicks. He was in a league all of his own. How devastatingly tragic and just plain unfair that he isn't here now. Can you imagine what he would be doing to banks, the war in Afghanistan, Sarah Palin and the far right, the financial crisis...

[djcarrera1]

miss bill bad.wonder what he would make of this world we live in today

[Nautilus1972]

I don't think Bill could have handled the idea of George W. Bush. It would have been too much to stomach.

[breeeegs]

George Bush is everything Bill Hicks reviled condensed into one dyslexic caveperson

[Caitlan30]

i love when bill does the gun sound effects!! hahah

[MansonFreak]

If hicks was Jesus I might actually consider being a christian ;)

[BannedFrom]

@MansonFreak he wouldnt want you to worship him

[MrVocalist101]

@MansonFreak thats the very last thing bill would have wanted!!!, have u listened to most of his material?!?! lol

[DynamiteWhufc]

The word legend is passed about, Nobody can deny that describing Bill Hicks as a legend is touching the tip of the iceberg.

[GeorgeMillerAtkinson]

You like Kittens?

[HeadFullofFuck]

I miss this man more that words can convey. RIP Bill, thanks for trying to point us on a better path...

[agamagon]

Right on. But wait, ''two whitest nations around?'' Dude ever been to, I dunno, Scandinavia. Whatever. I'm being a dick. Truth is how precient and haunting it is to listen to this at the present moment in history.

[dadubs93]

@agamagon Yeah, you'd think he was doing a comedy routine or something... Muppet, get a grip.

[elstroshitnonstop]

the phil ochs of comedy

[Aikidolover29]

if bill hicks was alive today his shit would be unstoppable he woulda went wildly insane along with the world bill i miss you and love you man you opened my eyes at a young age thank you

[Spacer3101]

@Aikidolover29 YA MAN.

[W3Guide]

wow George Bush dislikes it

[ianpatterson123]

Bill Hicks....the comedian's comedian and also actually the thinking (aware) mans comedian.

[aztathoth]

Bill was and is a hero. So are those who hear the distinct ring of truth behind his humor and are moved by it.

[smirkinbaby]

bill hicks RIP we miss you legend

[duelmaster742]

PURPLE HAZE WHOO and bill hicks is awesome

[corebare]

"Because it's on TV I believe it. We are the Puppet People." Bill was smarter than any politican. 

[tehboxnoob]

The puppet people song was fucking brilliant xD

[terrycharnley]

Brilliant. "I was here during the riots. Arrived at Heathrow, passed a news stand, Headlines read L.A burns to ground! Shit, did I leave a cigaretter burning?"

I wish you were still around, Bill.

[nankerphelge718]

what year was this? did he perform this when he had cancer?

[daddyrizla]

Damn, why do the good die young?

[Kazuyaikun]

@daddyrizla Bill died out of cancer, through his 30's..

h t t p : // articles.mercola . c o m /sites/articles/archive/2010/1­2/03/cancer-not-found-in-ancie­nt-mummies-appears-to-be-recen­t-disease.aspx

[daddyrizla]

@Kazuyaikun

I know. What a pity, he was a legend...still is really.

[ZEITGEISTism]

Amazing stuff Funny that no comedian will say( or touch ) this stuff NOW

Hicks was a fearless comedian but more than that he was a fearless human BEING

[machiavelli1979]

@ZEITGEISTism

Have you looked up Joe Rogan? He seems to have picked up where Hicks and Carlin left off in much respects.

Payce.

[ZEITGEISTism]

@machiavelli1979

Ive never heard of Rogan but i looked him up and yes your right he is a bit like Carlin and Hicks Althought not as good........ YET !

[adamtzsch]

Let's go kill some sand-niggers!

[fortykebabs]

Bill would laugh if he was still alive.History has repeated itself again. and nobody does a fucking thing

[SolarEXtract]

I'm the 420th person to like this. I think I'll burn one in Bill's honor.

[Hicks055]

miss u bill, but only have to think of u to cheer me up..thanks for that..

[mennella2000]

PEople, I like Bill too, but do become anti social. No generalization

[thekillerkiss]

1 person is in denial about the real world

[Usulic]

This may be just a ride, but it would be a lot better with Bill still on board...man, I really miss that s.o.b.

[4evainter]

hey bill im smoking a splif for you.. well and for me too-  R.I.P you hilarious fucker

[prikard]

@4evainter

you motherfucker, u reminded me i need to pick up

[4evainter]

@prikard glad i could help..now touch the sky

[kalma999]

"god" i love this man

[jawneblaize]

We are indeed the "puppet people" Bill...and we are doomed as a result of it!

[TheXenomorph1980]

Such a smart guy.....soooo ahead of it. He's making fun of kids today (born before this broadcast) with the same non thinking non survival attitude...........5 fucking stars.

[SuperGameGames]

3:29

fucker

LOL

[dappercad]

@TheTroglodyteKing Debatable... Isn't that a good thing ^_^

[ParticalEMotion]

Bill Hicks - The greatest man to EVER live. Wish you were here Bill, you spoke words of wisdom.

[MrSennagod]

@ParticalEMotion you speak the truth , we have missed so much more.

[tracy1105]

When Bill Hicks spoke he kicked down tables and chairs and started a fight with humanity

[hmw612]

"...This is for fluffy!!..."

[cupomash]

The world doesn't need Bill Hicks - why should it. He told us for fucking years along with the likes of George Carlin about what the fuck is going on and how fucking docile we have all become. We never question anything and most of us still don't. Why do we need them - for entertainment perhaps!!!. yes they were the best but always trying to get us to fucking DO something. There both down there looking up at us and saying YOUR STILL ALL ASSHOLES sad part about it is  - WE FUCKING ARE.

[Christoffski]

@cupomash Too fucking true.

[StrontiumDawg]

this is like a slightly quieter dead kennedys gig! awesome.

[1martink]

thanks bill

[fenix9885]

Dude, GerryD, where did you get this? This is AMAZING! Ive never seen this gig, and I thought I had seen almost all of his stuff on youtube. Thank you so much! Bill Hicks makes me smile in a way that no comedian ever can, because he is so right about everything.

[alxdnld]

@fenix9885 you know what fenix, you're all right.

[alxdnld]

@fenix9885 wait a sec, i know what you're doin, very clever. You're goin for that 'I like Bill Hicks' dollar, ain't ya. Almost had me...

[xspondeex]

Pancreatic cancer. A very painful way to go. You can still learn from him. Check out his cd Arizona Bay.

[Yeppox]

Bill Hicks... genius... thats all you need to know about him.

[MagicMalky]

@mrconradhoppe if he was killed they did a pretty good job of hiding it. but i guess that's what they do

[treborif]

Dear Bill - don't you dare look down from heaven cos you'll be Fucked Off. Lets sell some ARMS to Taiwan!! - then blow the fuckers UP in the name of democracy and OIL!!

[StuffedMannequin]

THIS ONE IS FOR FLUFFY

[willyboy84]

There's a book called Love All The People with lots of Bill's gigs in their entirety. I discovered that before i'd actually seen any footage of him performing and for the few days it took me to get through it I have never hurt with laughter so much in my life. Soon after I watched Sane Man and it was the same all over again Bill was and is the best

[Hyan36]

"Fucker... here is for fluffy"

[bobby23jones]

If you think MussyPagnet is serious, get your sarcasm detector looked at. It's busted.

[forloveoffilm]

Bill Hicks was dead before Obama passed the bar.

[EnvenomAscension]

@MussyPagnet No he just had the ability to think critically.

[jstewart0420]

you don't know what any of those words mean

[SalSanMar3]

You do know he died about 14 years before Obama's presidency? By the by, he was against capitalism, I don't know whether he was a communist, socialist or anarchist but he was against capitalism. And he is not racist, I don't know if you meant this as a serious insult, or just trying to get attention, but either way, you seem stupid.

[Tyrfingr]

You dont have to be any of the three, or anything at all for that matter to simply observe and point out the downsides of an exaggerated captialism.

I have a feeling that Hicks wasent in any sort of group who have a common purpose at all. People like him who's profession isnt just about poking fun at things but also revealing things for what they are to the people who live in a naive dreamworld. They tend to be disgruntled and dissapointed about our wasted potential as a species.

[MagicMalky]

@Tyrfingr bill hicks said he was in the group of people that hated other groups of people. he said it was hard to get a meeting together

[rogerrodd]

Thanks for the posting. After 19 years of stand up, Hicks's brilliance continues to make me feel like a hack.

[doc2earth]

simply the best!

[SDoyle281]

he still done what he wanted in the u.s but the audiences werent as appreciative as they were across the water sane man is a great show

[Milkmadness]

thanks bill.

[korgathbladefist]

this guy will always be a MOTHERFUCKING LEGEND

[Lingerfoot]

AND George Carlin! What song is this at the end? George Carin and Bill Hicks = GOD!

[Muaguana]

Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix.

[MERVILLE3]

Jaffi, Americans aren't stupid. They have been dummed down for 30 years by the shrinking range of the media and it's obsession with commercial validity. The news is not meant to attract the most viewers, the most ads. It's meant to present the information without fear and TOTALLY without patriotism. Patriotism has no place in journalism at all.

[TriggerHappyMariachi]

bill was best. no doubt.

[ivegotmyknobout]

the bit about france is fucking class, look what happened when they didnt join the "coalition of the willing" against iraq this time around, the yanks FUCKING HATED them, french jokes were IN again, not that i dont mind a good french joke, but it was mixed in with nationalism, vicious indeed

[murderface74]

When was the last time we had one like him?

[DavidMB7613]

lmao "we are the puppet people!!!" my side hurts!!

[21reasons]

Hey mr. GerryD! Thanks a mill for this geat footage! I've bought a book with the entire show (love all the people). Do you have the rest of it? Anyway, loved it.

[DantesObjective]

I think Hicks was most comfortable and happy performing here in the UK

[jaffijoe]

Very true. But, then again he couldn't find an audience in the US. Most Americans just don't like to be told how stupid they are. I am an American, but I don't mind. He speaks the truth.

[mogilny89p]

No one with a functioning brain feels comfortable in the US.

[Lingerfoot]

Why do they not feel comfortable in the us?

[korgathbladefist]

there's a documentary on Hicks somewhere on youtube, it basically says he wasn't allowed to do the material he wanted in the US. TV shows basically censored his good shit, but in the UK he could perform freely and people loved him a lot more

[jal860]

@mogilny89p

Why is there not a place for people like us to get together and develop a solution for this problem?

Society is disgusting and there seems no fitting solution outside of maybe leaving the country.

[lanegwyn]

@mogilny89p What part of the US are you from/ familiar with?

[SteevAtomic]

@mogilny89p ....or the UK....

[lhipsher]

@mogilny89p That's why I got out years ago. If you haven't already, maybe you should do the same

[NeaguClaudiu]

@mogilny89p same as in Romania :)

[wabashalwaysfights5]

@mogilny89p amen

[1998disco72]

@mogilny89p Go to Europe your ideas will change real quick.. 

[ReX342]

Does anybody have the transcript of the first 2mins? Some new material there I didn't understand. Something about france and mickey mouse...

[HowlingEarth]

Friggin trainspotting freak. Do you have to memorise every minute this guy ever said? God, how to drain the joy out of comedy.

[egarran]

The point is that France supplied a couple of planes to the war to keep Disney World.

[321hellohello]

Bill! I love him. I really do. It saddens me that I will never be able to see him perform live now.

[earthborg]

It's a shame he never lived to see 8 years of Clinton, and 8 years of bush II. The shit he would have had to say wow. It's like a lotus that only got to blossom halfway.

[RationalEmotive]

He would have become almost beyond a doubt the greatest comedian of all times. Carlin was still doing the hippy weatherman when he was Bill's age, Prior virtually unknown at the same career stage.

Then again, Bill was an eighties guy and I cannot imagine him post 9/11.

[senevene]

How I would have loved to see the video! Thanks for posting!

[Iknowyourenotasleep]

should have been an R after the D

[Iknowyourenotasleep]

Hicks did love it, look up his impression of Hendix from "Sane Man", with the "Buzz-Saw"

[ghezoi]

loved the ending song... Bill would've loved it too

[efgeesus]

the part about saying anything about another nation and therefore demonising them under false pretences is so spot on. look at Iraq II.

the guy spoke so much truth.

sadly theres no one thats come anywhere close to his comedy. george carling is the only other i can really think of. and guess what he's dead too.

fuck!

[apollyon1]

check out doug stanhope - he's the hicks methadone

[D119heavy]

"hes a Hitler!"

"what does that make you, Goebbels? quit armin him!"

hahahahaha genius

[Stealthbong]

How the world needs you now Bill...

[dappercad]

@Stealthbong The world has Doug Stanhope. Though he doesn't so much point out why our leaders are bullshit but why we are bullshit.  Maybe things have got worse, maybe he's just more honest then Hicks was.

[Stealthbong]

@dappercad . Thanks for the heads-up dude. I'll check him out.

[bluefukingreene]

@dappercad hicks changed the game long befor dougie...doug is great...hicks is immortal,dougie still roams on this lathered shit sheet called earth....its not earths fault a group corpse fuckers and land destroyers took everything natural and free and beautiful and put a price tag on it...raped it,profited from it,creating a whirlwind of despair...i mean fuck,we have to pay for energy the sun provides,water,air........i guess the hogs must feast uh...

[AUDIOMUNKY1]

@bluefukingreene who's this doug u talk of?

[bluefukingreene]

@AUDIOMUNKY1 doug stanhope....hes fucking brilliant....

[eurabio]

RIR Bill

[chewbaca1989]

Kittens, incubator babies, same lame difference.

[Leharik]

Great!!! Thanks for posting!

[Annigetyourgun81]

He was a legend....way ahead of his time RIP Bill Hicks.

[DIEZAUBERFLOTEMENSCH]

i just discovered this man. what a fucking prophet

[Kinjamaimai]

For a "bright" version of his standup, look for his "One Night Stand" on isohunt. The other one which is a bit darker is "Revelations".

Also: "Sane man" is a bit less prophetic but a good primer of Bill. He mixes in some normal jokes in between the speeches.

[Poonard]

that's great that he's talking this heavy shit about Bush at Oxford!!!! HAHAHAHA!

[the7thwreck]

just listen to reception he got in England compared to the gig he did in america entitled 'im sorry folks' on here. He loved america, it must have been horrible for him trying to make it there. america only started liking him when he got popular.

[adampeart1]

Agreed. Reject the American Empire.

[binloved]

it not just America...It's really the 300 families that run the world...and have created the "sides". They all play with one side against the other. It's fun profitable game with one purpose. Complete Control of the world by these 300 families.

I have a great playlist on my channell.

~peace over and out!

[mmtot]

yeah your right . Its a Literal Elite. Outside of nations.

[binloved]

Supposed Bill Hicks fans come by and give me thumbs down!!!! (lmao!!!) It's a crazy world. The folks who thumbed me down don't that I'm "a reader". lol. I haven't gotten my information just through youtube....

~peace

[paulmerz]

As liberal as I am...American empire? LOLLllllll

If you think America has an empire you clearly don't really know what an empire is.

[phobosx12]

if you dont think america is an empire you clearly dont know what an empire is.

[chefmarcgirard]

thank everything that is holy that bill never lived to see George Bush Jr.

[DJChimpski]

amen

[Andy000K]

I wish he had, can only imagine the verbal bashing he would of given him, Id love to hear what Bill Hicks would have to say about current world events, Might of helped wake some people up also,

[holtaprid]

I've come to have such contempt for my country, but I guess growing up with no national identity yields interesting viewpoints.

[FLUSEM666]

When George Bush senior was pres, I always used to say that Bill Hicks would have made a better American president. Then, when Son of Bush, Bush Two the sequel was in power. I said if they dig up Bills corpse he would make a better pres than ... But now, they would have to dig him up and paint the fucker brown to be better than the new one. Life is a real bitch eh Bill?

[stebotch]

Thanks Bill, YOU ROCK!!! RIP

[TomMSTie]

Man it's eerie hearing Bill talking about "Bush" and his foreign policy toward "Iraq."

[adorant]

surreal to hearBill Hicks reference Jimmy 'Whirlwind' White - coincidence we hear another Jimmy onthe outro?

[mattk9000]

this isnt oxford

[eizhowa]

It isn't?

[panterfootball93]

man i wish carlin and hicks were still alive

[screwtheusername]

His stuff never gets old.

[morgs2020]

I hope it does though.

Zeitgeist: Addendum is online now!

[jackhartcup]

hey do u know what happened to the last clip about how the banks fuck us up the arse every day?

all im going to say is try and watch it...

[FuiSoyYsereUnGil]

It's in google vids

[VWKudzuGuru]

All my heroes are dead. Will real Americans rise again?

[kilmerval]

bill hicks dead, carlin dead, mencia and cook live on. i swear to whatever deity out there, if mencia and cook caught aids the next day the cure for aids would be released. GOD WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fuckysuckyjamtits]

Magic Johnson was cured of aids. Have a look for something called "Tetrasilver Tetraoxide."

Hi google. Yes. I've said Tetrasilver Tetraoxide again. Do I get to have a tour around some shadowy re-education camp now?

[superustipak]

Good one. Wonder how many people believe you

[KeKlOlBuR205]

MORE NOW!!!

[00zerozero00]

Bill was a danger to the NWO, anyone find it suspect the he developed a most aggresive cancer which was vertually unheard of in a man of his age?..well i do!

R.I.P Bill

[aadhoegen]

Thank fuck for Bill Hicks. The greatest philosopher of our time.

[mysterywhiteboy45]

Political satire... I've alaways thought him Mark Twain's devil twin.

[ManlySlut]

History does repeat itself! George Bush (either) is the biggest retard ever. Bill Hicks is amazing.

[scuttassassin]

ya like cats

well yea

ya know he eats cats

.....that fucker

[PhenomL37]

It's as if he was talking about the recent Iraqi invasion not the recent invasion.

He was so far ahead of the game its scary never be another like him.

[PhenomL37]

It's as if he was talking about the recent Iraqi invasion not the 90's invasion.

He was so far ahead of the game its scary never be another like him.

[tarantism]

i love how what he said back then is still relevant. i can only IMAGINE what he would say today...

[roback85]

Traditionally, there are three people that I look up to morally and are decades ahead of their time: Mahatma Gandi, Nelson Mandela, and of course, Bill Hicks.

Thanks for the post Gerry.

[ZAMPAROAD]

THIS IS FOR FLUFFY

[theREALwogstar]

hicks and carlin are gone... what kind of a fucked up world do we live in where the most intelligent and perceptive people die and the retards live forever while running our fucking countries!!!
