Bill Hicks on "Hey Hey It's Saturday"

[ciaobellakate]

I live Bill. Probably the only decent episode of this unbearable show.

[yardkyle]

i sure hope, after i die, my consciousness can collide with Bill's for at least a brief moment somewhere in the infinite abyss so that i can thank him :)

[ZEITGEISTism]

I still cant believe my hero Bill Hicks was in Australia exactly when I was there!! and I never heard about it

[chupacabras0905]

FUCK YOU ILLUMINATI

[schr4nz]

Holy fuck, thank you youtube suggestions, without you I would never have found this.

[1empathy]

USA the best and the worst of humanity. Bill is one of the best of course . . . .

[truespyfan]

Sadly there will never be another quality show like Hey Hey on TV in Aussie...

[TheScrubDown]

All Australians will know how strange is it that Bill Hicks is on this show. I just hope Red doesn't gong him...

[drillbill1]

i like bill but fuck that audience for doin those shitty timed laughs

[RyitGrrl]

@drillbill1 I feel ashamed as an Australian watching that

[frink1984]

It's a shame he didn't do the 'Suck your own cock piece' followed by the 'Eat the pussy sketch'.

[frink1984]

This is shocking.I now feel numb to shock.If I see the zombie Lenny Bruce on Saturday Disney tomorrow it can't shock me.

[superALable]

This bit was filmed right before Bill was diagnosed with cancer.

RIP Hero, we all miss you.

[azynkron]

I take it as this was the tour when he started to feel the pain?

[happyhazelnut]

I can never find a bill hicks interview with an intelligent person............

[ezelouie]

@happyhazelnut

/watch?v=ZiFd3onry00&feature=r­elated

probably the best one out there

[pluckaduck1111]

do you have the Plucka Duck episode to this????

[almostforgotmyself]

arghhh i never knew he was on our television shows!!!

thanks for the clip!

bless bless bless bill

[milaton43]

it's a shame this performance was wasted in front of moronic audience like "Hey Hey".

If Bill knew how lame this show was, he wouldn't have bothered.

[pauljh74]

@milaton43

Yeah, that's why he was only on for 3:30, he had to cut out all the content unsuitable for family variety television.

[capablemachine]

@milaton43 I don't think he knew the show was going to be so family friendly. You can see him editing his act in his mind when he gets to the microphone.

[gibbsies]

rofl wtf kind of show is this?

[Gaia1986]

The sound is f*****?

[JDarkley]

Even when he's clean he's hilarious. And to think it's the same guy who did Goatboy.

[lovosazul]

@kozmocramer24 Pancreatic cancer in 1994 (only the good die young!?) :(

[lovosazul]

No way! What a freak-out! Incredible!? I never knew he was on Hey Hey!? Far-out! Top stuff! So was this in 1987!? Mate, thanks for posting!

Peace;]

[thomasmoonman]

Wow they really ripped off the Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show musical theme didn`t they, typical thief Australians haha !!!!

[jifjosh]

He's just so...gosh...

I'd like to think that if I were to be in a comparable situation with a terminal illness that I would also have the same fortitude to be as strong as he was.

[Christoph4eva]

Bill Hicks is to stand up what Jimi Hendrix was to Rock and Roll

[JoshSitar]

@Christoph4eva No, Bill Hicks was far better than that. He actually had something important to say. All Hendrix did was roll around on stage out of his mind on acid. Fun, but meaningless. Bill was a prophet.

[braindamagehurts44]

@JoshSitar you kinda missed the point of what he said

[TheXenomorph1980]

Fucking awesome. Wow!

[MottTheWot]

Genius

[Annie1962]

Notice he's rubbing his stomach - that's the cancer.. :(

[blatspanner]

@Annie1962 everything's the cancer.

[nedak]

@Annie1962 How the fuck do you know? Maybe he just ate some British cooking and he's got to take a shit?

[Annie1962]

@nedak he suffered a lot of pain as the cancer got worse,.. read 'Agent of evolution'

[nedak]

@Annie1962 I'm aware. None-the-less the way you wrote your comment was hilarious.

[Jurassic56]

wow, that was a rare clip - thank you so much firstly for taping, and then posting.

[LiFe0In1ThE0MaTrix01]

great joke

[anaemia]

Bill Hicks, hell yeah.  I've never seen this one before.

[Auricfield]

OMG - Bill Hicks on "Hey Hey It's Saturday" - all is forgiven Daryl!!!

[priorl09]

hey hey it's saturday is back!

watched it tonight :)

[kozmocramer24]

@Keksakallu oh shit ay well i think he was one of the best but the best video of him i sein a few years ago was when some fat bitch heckled him and he went off tha was unreal

[Annie1962]

no volume!

[askalarium]

i have always wanted to see this thanks!

[sflyons]

I'm having trouble reckoning with the fact that these two things actually inhabited the same universe. But there they are...

[codyemc2]

man i bet he hated that gig though. he looked like he couldnt w8 to get the fuck out of there.

[SteevDragon67]

what kind of fruity show is bill on here? But even Bill could make this show look good!

[petestrat07]

@SteevDragon67 "Hey Hey it's Saturday" played in Australia for over 20 years. Probably the most popular show of all.

[ssmicks]

That is awesome!!! never knew he was on Heyhey. He did a nice kinda 'familyshow' set hey....

[iwannabeyourdog1969]

i can't hear shit!

[KillinGnatsies]

turn your damn speakers up

[symbal777]

lol @ boiling pizza

[YUG74]

I bet this was a case of 'just gimme the check and get me the fck outta here'! for Bill that show was just too goodie goodie for'em lol!

[demonsbutterfly]

This is Great..Love it. Never knew this existed.

Bill the World misses you.....Melbourne Australia....

[monty007in]

makes me laugh every time i watch it...

truth is the funniest joke.

[erilen2009]

haha he was on hey hey

[motorwawt]

It seems like whenever he was on a show where he had to be restricted and tame you could see more of his Woody Allen influence

[jrgill13]

Wow!!! I wish i had been old enough to have seen Bill when he toured OZ..........

[FTarquin]

Oz who?

[jrgill13]

Oz = Australia.

[diabolique111]

He was on Hey Hey!!!! What the fuuuuucckkkkk!?!?!?!?!

[ZEITGEISTism]

diabolique11

my sentiments exactly!!!! ha ha what a guy was Hicks ? such an original

[bigbowlowrong]

this is way too high-brow for early-90s australia, particularly habitual watchers of hey hey it's saturday

[MrGoodnix]

Love Bill, awesome clip

[kikividis]

This is the trip to Australia where the poor bastard found out he was fucked. He like a year to live here. Very motherfuckin' sad.

[STPHNOWNAGE]

"wait a minute"

i love bill.

[GIMMEADOLLAR1]

I love that he did the "The smaller he gets the cuter he is..." joke on a family show!

[byteusa]

why can't i hear it

[psylemon914]

That was still done well despite him being on a show that he can't be himself on.

[tSIXe666]

thankyou...i needed this,like a peice of the weird puzzle that is my life!!i will be an Aussie before this is all over!!!

[apocbible]

the audience seems quite awkward.... damn i wish i was old enough to grasp this at the time. if only there were comedians like Bill around today

[fibbsabaddy]

how the hell did he get that gig! lol

[AccordionManiac]

haha Awesome

[SacredCow669]

...WOW...... On a family show in Austrailia...

[MatthewJohn1979]

fuuuuuuck - i can't believe this actually happened!

[420orion727]

my god bill, its like these unaware parents have never tripped on shroom... XP

[GarsinX]

This is... surreal, compared to every other performance he has ever made. He lacks spirit.

[duckmonsterX]

Eh. Probably restrained because he was worried about what he was allowed to say on the show.

[Poonard]

i think i noticed him stop himself a few times lol

[Mevi814]

Yep, me too. He'll do that if the audience doesn't seem into it. That's what I've heard him say before, anyway. Like after the "boiling pizza" remark.

[seekah1]

@ GarsinX - He's on a family show for fucks sake, what do you expect.

[eLektrina88]

he looked really cute in this video!!!

I love him

RIP

[monsieurhassan]

what the fuck is wrong with the audience . .. they go "hahaha" and then abruptly shut up . .. its like they've been instructed by someone before the recording

[tommyers]

I wonder how Bill managed to get booked on a show of this variety.

[duckmonsterX]

Hey hey its saturday was a really strange show. It had a giant pink ostridge as a cohost, and what appeared to be a perpetually drunk support band. It LOOKEd like a childrens show, but it was really a 'child friendly" adult show.

Strange stuff that probably wouldn't fly anymore on TV in this day and age.

[type1human]

Hahah, BILL BILL BILL BILL im so glad we had him :D:D:D:d

[rhyslings]

I read in his biography that he did a tv show in Australia. It didn't say what it was but I suspected it might have been 'Hey Hey'. Doesn't really seem like the right place for his material. Especially not in the days of 'Ozzie Ostrich'. Audience seemed to like it though.

[bagglestheatheist]

American Scream? Yeah, im reading it at the moment randomly enough: "...his TV appearance on a major talk show in Australia"

know if theres any clips of him at the melb. comedy fest in 1993?

[JCMac777]

This is definitely rare. Thanks for uploading it!

[LuvLennonMcCartney]

wow, if Hicks didn't like Billy Ray Cyrus you can only imagine what he would have thought on Miley...

if only he were here

[rametta13]

thank you

[idodachachalikagrl]

probably a corporate, no-talent little whore who feeds the media machine that is disney while preying on american tweens and living out the rest of her no talent piece of shit dad's dream. and i'm sure shes had her lips around satan's cock more than once.

[LuvLennonMcCartney]

haha, fair enough...

[EdMaGoFa]

Word brother !!! Yes, i´m black, i can say this !!

[LuvLennonMcCartney]

i'm white, i could say it... but i don't wan't to put both you and myself through the embarrassment.

but i will settle with a nice... peace out!

[BillHicks420]

@LuvLennonMcCartney I bet Randy Pan Goat Boy would be all over her. Lol, well not now, when she turned 18 :)

[hulliscorrupt]

@LuvLennonMcCartney that is a remarkable truism.

[samward247]

top post! cheers!

[tmprogram]

this is from 1990

[niallvan]

How can it be 1990 when he didn't go to Australia til 1993.

[tmprogram]

dude someone asked me something and i meant the 90s. relax stalker!

[niallvan]

Well if you had put an "s" at the end then I would have understood. So you relax duuuude. I'm as calm as can be.

[tmprogram]

oh ok then my fault bitch!

[cesiumrane]

is it me or does hicks seem less restrained here than he did on any of the airings in the u.s?

[Sshelly34213]

of course the brits and aussies loved him, the US loathed him. Plus it seems to me that their more patient whereas in the US we have this weird, instant gratification "make me laugh now or die!" mentality. Its very mob like imo.

[Passenger87]

thanks for uploading :D

[Johnny6666]

Wow. How absolutely crazy is this? Hicks appears on (in its last years) an inherently conservative, family-oriented 'comedy' show? Bizarre.

And he suffers from censoring himself. Sad.

[RT83]

Thanks heaps for posting this. I've known about this appearance for years but have never got to see it until now.

[timmyscano]

wow first time ive seen bill restrain himself on stage

[tempsanity]

Nice find! Never seen this one. :)

[ssarahalisonn]

Nice one Dave!

[Mozzarizzle]

Brilliant,the best comedian ever on the best Australian show ever!Rest in piece Bill Hicks and Saturday night live!

[LeightonESmith]

.... you mean Hey hey its saturday RIP

[hunterthompson123]

Awsome find , where did u get it?

[Keksakallu]

I taped it directly off the original broadcast way back when, and it has been languishing amongst roughly 700 hours of random stuff taped of TV over the last 20 years. Now that I have invested in EyeTV and can rip stuff to my hard drive, I look forward to posting some more random gems. :o)

[padraic2001eire]

That's fantastic! I must get something like EyeTV and upload my taped-on-to-VHS rarities to youtube. Thanks for this.

[daddysevenpointfiver]

your goat children want mooooree, master!

[torecord]

first view, this is cool , never seen this before, thanks a bunch.
