@@wolfesound he's still alive. He just goes by Alex Jones. He's selling Orange Drink, I kid you not. This is the greatest long bit in recorded human history.
@@BradPwnsU Go ahead and respond with credulity. Then go look up his producer, his teeth, oh, and the Austin Incident from 2004 where he opens for Doug Stanhope and at about 17 minutes in, breaks in with his old voice, saying, "lady, you're anti-comic." But you don't want to know, do you? This is why Alex broke down and did what he did: He learned to hate all of you.
He made the TV Show bit, because by this point in his life, he knew he had pancreatic cancer and was dying. He told very few people. Jokes like that were one of the few ways he coped with his inevitable death. And no, Bill Hicks is NOT Alex Jones. Ask Joe Rogan, he knew them both!
I love how he gets the dumb audience started to howl when he makes the "daddy's room mate" statement, thinking it was meant as an anti-gay statement, but how they laugh again at the lesbian statement. If Hicks was anything, he was insightful. He lived to point out the blatant hypocrisy of people.
More like his comedy is hypocritical. He criticized pro-lifers by saying why don’t they block cemeteries, well in that case, why aren’t baby eliminators out there unaliving people? He’s just another leftist tool.
If we do go somewhere after we die, I'd love to get a conversation with this guy. I learned about him, lost track for a few years and when I looked him up he was dead. Then Dennis Leary stole his act and leveraged it into a B list career.
Everyone says Letterman was wrong for cutting it from the show, and in reality, it would have been fine for his NBC show, and it would have been par for the course for any stand-up stage in that era. In a day where Sam Kinison and Andrew Dice Clay were revered for their misogyny and homophobia, Bill was run of the mill. But for a show that went up against the old Johnny Carson Show? I think the execs were thinking, would Johnny have had this on his show, and I don't think he would have. Dave's old show was edgy and took risks, Johnny was old Hollywood and old hat, which is pretty much what all late shows in that time spot are to this day. I'm not saying Dave was right, but the bit sure would have stood out. Bill would have been the next George Carlin if he had lived. But even George knew his audience on a given night, and he dummied down and softened and cleaned up his act for his appearances on Johnny and Arsenio. National TV is for hack comics and hack routines, not the biting stuff George and Bill and Dave Chappelle did on stage.
Yes, you're exactly right. Dave had just changed to the new time slot he couldn't take any risks..Funny, Dave stayed late this night(the show taped around 5pm-6pm)and changed the intro 5 minutes before airtime at 1130pm
They'd cling onto the same sex parents joke and ignore the pro life jokes. Just like they latch onto homophobia in the Bible and conveniently miss the part where it says be kind to all.
I love how he suckers in the homophobe bros at 2:50 and then turns the whole joke around, but he doesn't try to exempt himself or cast himself as the superior guy. He lets the people who get it get it, no handholding or "Hey see how clever I was." Very few comics can pull it off, no one does it with the aggression he does.
Another master of psychology over here. It's because guys don't have a problem with two chicks together. As long as they're attractive that is! Nobody wants to see two gross butchies together.
He'd be railing against this entire corrupt duopoly uniparty. Weirdly though he'd have a special ire for the D side for getting bought by corpos and neocons. Dick Cheney endorsing the Dem candidate for president? Ooooh man, he would go to town on that 🤣
@@DSPHistoricalSociety There was a punk band here in Australia called Far Left Limit. They had a song called United We Shop, that started off with the sample of Hicks saying “go back to the mall that spawned you”.
Is there some kind of "Cool Factor" because he died young? I have watched this performance several times and there is nothing particularly special about him. He's an average cynical comic that you would see on talk shows during the 70s and 80s. His whole opening bit about who he would like to "Blow away" with a shotgun is just odd and borderline disturbing and frankly didn't exactly "age well", not that it was even funny back then. This was hysterical to all of you?
Awww man, if Bill Hicks were alive today, he would tell me how to think and feel about the current times. He would really regurgitate my own opinions to me and reassure me that my particular brand of assholery is superior to the assholery of others! They dont make 'em like that anymore!

A children’s book titled “Daddy’s New Roommate” would mislead a lot of Puerto Rican children who live in apartments. In 1979, Milton Berle joked about that kind of thing when he hosted SNL. He said an accident had happened inside a Puerto Rican family’s apartment. The bed broke.
Yeah, it tells you that Americans don’t celebrate perversions. Your comment isn’t the insult you think it is. Congratulations, you’ve been fully brainwashed into accepting deviant behavior, but you’ll never understand that because the powers that be normalized it for you.

The other Cyrus (Billy Ray), the other Bush (41), and the other Iraq War (Persian Gulf War spanning Fall 1990-Winter 1990/1991) were "all" we had to worry about in the early 1990s; okay not really "all" but they were examples of some of the crappy elements of life being less prevalent or at least apparently so. ☺
"Commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children a giant bunny rabbit left chocolate eggs in the night".......Hicks roasting religion. Probably why it was censored.
Hicks made numerous jokes against religion, particularly Christianity, which I find ironic considering that he turned to Christianity in his final hours.
No it was the pro life stuff that got censored because Letterman had sponsors with some prolife thing and his bosses didnt like it, Letterman lost some cred because of that. Theres a hand written letter in hickss' biography to Letterman about it, but he died before it could all be rectified. Bill knew at this point he was a dying man.
