Bill Hicks is shit...

[Langer Dan]

Yay or nay people?

Personally I find his faux outraged schtick laboured and plain unfunny.

You can apply that sort of analysis to almost anything.
'Toast, that really grinds my gears, SORRY'.

Mostly beloved by students and the terminally dull.

I'm not a student but there's a chance I'm terminally dull.

Bill Hicks was great.

I liked the vid of him going apeshit at a drunk chick, otherwise he's fine, I guess.

But then I think Russell Brand's Ponderland is seriously genius.

 

[DogTheLangerHunter]

He just shouted.That's it.That was his act.

Shouting

Shit lefty rant

Trying to be different.

george carlin, chris rock, tommy tiernan, dennis leary, lewis black,and a few others who's names escape me all thought he was so shit they used his material. in leary's case verbatim.

now what is that line about imitation and flattery?

How very dare you, Bill Hicks was a fucking comedy genius. yes he did shout a lot, but his stuff on the religious right was fucking brilliant, still relevent to this day and he was saying it nearly 20 years ago. and he didin't shout that shit.

You, Sir, are a Philistine of the highest order.

They're all shit,apart from maybe Chris Rock ten years ago.And I don't recall him ever taking any Hicks jokes.

I seriously doubt Carlin did either.
