Bill is and will always be my favorite comedian. I have seen my share of stand up Even though he's been gone for so many years and I've seen this particular show many times, it still seems like it was done yesterday.... That is why he's an icon .
I’ve experienced my fair share of stand-up comedy, and I honestly feel that his material doesn’t come across as fresh even after 30 years. I’ve never found Hicks to be particularly funny or thought-provoking; it’s akin to hearing someone who lacks a grasp of existentialism poorly echoing its concepts on stage.
@@shawnkrauss2639 I think he is funny AF. He describes hillbillies with pin point accuracy. Now they are shooting at planes that are flying at 30,000 feet because they think a drone army is trying to spy on them doing their sisters.
@repent.sinner The deep state wanted him dead - but Bill faked his own death, and took on his new identity. Criss cross, motherfuckers......criss cross.
Who's my comedy hero?.. Bill! He was the best. THE BEST. We've had greats since but his comedy still resonates. He was ahead of what what broadcastable (mostly) for most of his career. RIP Bill you'll be remembered with love and laughs. Erase the line
@@NOVAJIGZ I remember when people thought Alex Jones was a late Bill Hicks. If you go deep enough, Alex Jones, and Bill Hicks meet before, as they lived in the same area and had similar friends. The world we live in is wild.
@@chieftron yep I remember it all haha🤗 yeah the world is a stage no doubt about it… deceptions and illusions “everywhere” only going to get WAYYYY crazier with A.I and new end era we are moving rapidly into.
Punchline of this joke: The gig happened 30 years ago. Yet STILL every bit of it is ongoing. It's amazing how little this "Ground Breaking", "Revolutionizing" "Art Form" actually does to things. Probably the reason why they are allowing it.
As much as I like Bill... The thing about dying vs dying from smoking 🚬... well dying slowly for years and months,knowing your dying is what you would call torture. Versus just dropping dead😊. I think he would like that one 😊. I really do love Bill. He was special person
I'm sure Bill would agree with me that we are so stuck in our egos or "me first" that when we take material from others as if it's our own we can not repay the originator in any way. No recognition, no compliments, and act as if something is wrong with the originator because they know you did it.😢
@generaldzaster2022 You should read more. Bill was against authoritarian systems and Alex Jones has made a career from speaking against authoritarian systems. This is not a controversial position it's quite obvious.
That was very good and some of it I hadn't heard before. I first heard of him in the late 80's and he was always one of my favourite stand ups, even to this day.
He and I share the same birthday. I think he stole the, "What you reading for," joke from Carl Sagan. Either that, or it's a common expression of stupidity in some parts. 6:52 Sadly, he died young, at the age of 32, from pancreatic cancer. Cigarette smoking is the best-established avoidable risk factor for pancreatic cancer.
I’m from Alabama and no one gives you shit for reading, it’s just a stereotype that people have for southern areas. So he probably didn’t steal it just using the stereotype that people understand.
Bro love to see the interest, if you can follow a season, get into the hype that happens around state of origin time, you'll be converted. I suggest watching for a while before picking a team, let one capture you organically.
I need to know if anyone knows if this man was diagnosed or had bipolar or borderline personality disorder of some sort quiet maybe but then how would he have the balls to be a comedian i dont know i need to know its 4:30 am and i feel like this guys knows my brain..
I find it telling how easy it is for him to make fun of people with that accent. Talk about low hanging fruit. But then again, maybe we all did back then.
I don't even watch Matt Rife, but trying to "up" a comedian by putting another one down is just gross, you're the exact type of person that real comedians don't like. Don't be that person. Comedy is for all different tastes
They look the same and they sound the same and Alex is sooo funny and vocally on par with Bill in terms of range and ability. I mean… it’s pretty uncanny.
Yea, it’s just jokes of low hanging fruit that he knows city people will eat up. Making fun of southerners and their hard times is something that will always be a hit in any Yankee town or city. Whether it’s actually funny or not. It’s low creativity comedy.
Well I guess it's o k now to denigrate an entire region of the country. He's funniest thing.This guy said was when he Said he knew it was the truth Because she saw it on CNN.
Bill is and will always be my favorite comedian.
I have seen my share of stand up
Even though he's been gone for so many years and I've seen this particular show many times, it still seems like it was done yesterday....

He is one of the greats if not the GOAT.. I couldn't agree ore, peace.

@@StuartwasDrinkell a linguist of today's language. He is legend as well.

I wish to God Bill was still around. I didn't discover him until a few years after he'd gone. He's still just so amazing to listen to.
he might have been if he was a non-smoker..
Bill Hicks is a genius a true American Hero
Montreal Comedy Festival, 1991. Seminal gig, first international exposure. Corresponding album was released that’s also essential.
A genius, taken way too soon .
You either die Bill Hicks, or live long enough to become Alex Jones
@@WD-41469lol yeah I remember when people thought this 😂🤣 they are nothing alike hahaha!

@@WD-41469 Underrated comment
I love the misanthropic comedy. Carlin and Hicks are my favorites.
George Carlin is my favorite and the GOAT.
Outrageous and so sharply observant and funny.
Dough Stanhope is still alive.
Punchline of this joke: The gig happened 30 years ago. Yet STILL every bit of it is ongoing. It's amazing how little this "Ground Breaking", "Revolutionizing" "Art Form" actually does to things. Probably the reason why they are allowing it.
My absoluter hero....and after 10 years of doing comedy I know I'm still nowhere near his level. However, I won't stop trying...
You might be better than you think. True artists are too hard on themselves. Anyway, don't compare yourself to others.
RIP Hicks, another dead hero.
Smart dude!
I listened to this so any times on tape back in the day; first time I've seen it. Awesome. If only he were here today.
He is. He now goes by the name, Alex Jones.
Bill Hicks is some sort of Rock Comedy God. n Roll.
Bill, we love you. Thank you for all you shared
The cross/sniper rifle bit is the best.
This guys such a genius
Saw Bill in Manchester UK early 90s. Walked past him on the way in, too frightened to say hello but so wish I had.
From Manchester missed unfortunately, m8 said he went on right bender with likes of kieth Richards and others 😂 wat a legend 👏 ❤
🔥Bill
Hick's You're a hoot mate!
The Best .
Bill ~ ~ A Hick Town Comedian !
We're still winning the War on Drugs for you Bill
Hilarious
"I support the war, but I don't support the troops". Hilarious!
This is one of his better ones
"Non-smokers die everyday" 😢 yes, but smokers will often get there first. RIP you funny reader.
R I P Brother
He got us all thinking ‘positive drug story’ life is a vibration. But waco was his bravest moment
Yule Brenner was a badass. So was Bill Hicks.
A touch of Johnathan Winters 😂

I'm sure he'd be fascinated by you thinking the only slow burn into the grave is guided by one little orange light. Amazing analysis
@BrooksLittletree I think he'd understand since he did die slowly of cancer, just not from smoking, babe 😚
Man he’s the The Holy Ghost
Carlin, Hicks, Standhope
Father, son and Holy whatever
Hahahaha freaking Fyffe, Alabama right off the rip.
Haha I'm from Fyffe!!
This man was so awake imo guys like this they take out… just sayin
Yeah, it had nothing to do with the 2 lighters a day he went through smoking
It was the waffles.
Too flipping TRUE
@@harvyt257lighters have nothing to do with this bit.
@ttott0013 it's fine. Just say it. you don't get the reference. No worries.
We miss ya Bill,cya on the other side brother.
Why are so many people comparing Bill Hicks with alex jones?
Because they're easily manipulated
Hive mind idiocies...
There's a conspiracy theory that Bill faked his death, hid for a while, and re-emerged as Alex Jones, and Infowars is performance art.
What a guy!
Imagine how good he would have been today ...
He would have been canceled in a second today.
@@seatstitcher3636Depends where he performed! He’d have been ok in the British Isles but not Alabama.
I feel ya Bill.
to see Bill roast trump. I can dream.
Check out Arizona bay! Another classic 👌
Give it up Alex.
Y’all SERIOUSLY going to tell me that this ain’t Alex Jones? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
PSYOPPED AGAIN!!😂

👍👍👍
I love your latest gig
I first saw Alex Jones, I mean Bill Hicks, on Dangerfields, back in the 80s, and laughed my A$$ off.
Bill Hicks would absolutely destroy Jones
One and the same…both grew up in the same two horse town, yet they never met…
@@generaldzaster2022They are on the same team
@@kelleymcbride4633 no they are not you are completely are misinformed if thats your world view

'Called' it years ago regarding the Military Indu Cplex
“You aint from around here boy”
Looky here, we got us a reader!
Bill Hicks looks like John Ritter and vice versa. 😂 They even sound the same!
Hicks on point and ahead of the curve ridiculing MAGA in Fyffe Alabama😂
RIP Yule Brenner. Whadda bald pharaoh 🦉🦅🐍🦈🦇
Alex, is that you?
Jones born in '74 Would have been 17 or 18 in '92

Let that be a lesson
Everyone is eventually no longer with us, that's no excuse to be a 🐈.
@dont.ripfuller6587 no sh💩it genius
Yes Bill, but you’ve been dead for thirty years and I’m still watching you…
One of his side burns is a f*** ton longer than the other.
Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay 🦈
7:39 he sounds just like a .357 💀💀
All of his stand up comedy.I have seen a lot of and I'm always waited for the sounds of a gun that he makes.It's sincerely incredible to me😂😂😊😊
Smile. But really just mean.

And they're perfectly legal and readily available 😠
It's Alex Jones.
6:10
He was so funny. He died at 32 😢
Rickets telethon... that is gold..

my great-grandpa was in that town then and saw those ufo's
Did he show up armed?!
Did they do a full body examination on him?
Dennis Leary must have stole that Jim Fix joke from Bill Hicks. I just listened to his No Cure for Cancer special on TH-cam.
Insane Asylum
classic Bill
Gtfo with your BS. Without lies, Islam dies!
Steawman comedy...thank god TH-cam has advertisments do i had something worth watching.
Before his time
He influenced so many comedians. Especially in Britain. Unfortunately most of them became hack shills.
oh shit this is a re-run,,,, xDDD he going for a second ride.
Lenny Bruce

Appreciate Bill for all he's done, don't use him as a crutch to put other comedians down.
@@bloodyscalp94 Why? He'd love that. Especially to someone who isn't a comedian
Everyone is iodine and vitamin c deficient when they smoke right that's what causes the hole in the throat that problem can be cured with just iodine😊
I guess we will never know what’s happening behind doors. They made an offer to Alex Jones and he couldn’t refuse
It's not Alex Jones. Bill Hicks is a great Comedian. Alex Jones is a Scumbag.
Alex sounds like Bill?
That's cause bill hicks never really died, and is in fact alex jones
They look the same and they sound the same and Alex is sooo funny and vocally on par with Bill in terms of range and ability. I mean… it’s pretty uncanny.
@@jesusc2meyall comparing Bill to Alex? You are the kind of imbeciles Bill hated. You know you hated ignorant mofos like you.
