If you like this video I urge you to check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJQ2w77Z4wA

This video shows several comedians whose material bears a strong resemblance to the late Bill Hicks, including Denis Leary, George Carlin, Sam Kinison, Robin Williams, Lewis Black, Dennis Miller and Eddie Griffin.

Many of them were or are more successful than Hicks ever became before his death aged 32.

Some may describe these similarities as "paying homage", others as plagiarism. You decide.

  • @padraic2001 screw you, anti-semite douchebag. Back to your trailer park and meth lab. Why don't you get your GED, head for community college, or better yet trade sch ool, and maybe you could be a lawyer too one day. Probably not, moron. But seriously, sam kenison, george carlin, robin williams? I doubt that. They are icons, and are/were far too creative to need to plagerize. Dennis leary, maybe.

  • @MrSkeeb0 We don't have GEDs or community colleges in my country, we're more sophisticated than that.

  • Person who uploaded the video, for mentioning george carlin you're a stupid fuck. Carlin and Hicks really admired each others work. Eddie Griffin was a close frend of Richard Pryor ( I even think pryor had stuff written for him iirc) and robin williams has his own crazy style and its completely unrelated to Hicks and I dunno about the others.

  • @QualityServiced oooOOOooo! Someone has a man-crush on George Carlin!

  • @padraic2001eire u mad? coz u wrong? lol i see. take care then.

  • @QualityServiced You speak English as a second (or possibly third) language? Because you type that way. I see. Take care then.

  • A video claiming comics stole jokes from Hicks w/o sound is the undisputed WORST video on Youtube. Congrats!

  • @colonelboston Thank you, though I don't think I should take all the credit.

  • For your safety, this video has been muted by SOPA.

  • How ironic. A video about stealing people's material has the sound removed because it's posted without permission.

  • leary = yes. carlin = no. eddie griffin = who gives a fuck. miller = right wing, doubt it. black = most likely paying some sort of homage. williams = who knows. man is insane.

  • No sound? This is fucking useless!

    

  • A BIG FUUUUUUUUUCK YOU TO BMG!!!

  • lol, I thought the player was broken and stuck on mute and I scrolled down to see that always awesome "notice" in red...

  • No sound

  • @padraic2001eire It's nothing compared to your man-crush on Hicks.
