Bill Hicks is shit...

[frankeechops]

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.

His bit about charging for bullets instead of guns owes a lot to hicks gun control bits.

 

[kevinbitzz]

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.

carlin is shit too?
jesus h christ. i really am going for a lie down. you'll just have to trust me on carlin using hicks material. the video was removed form you tube.

but one clip i remember is hicks rant about killing all the good guys "e kill all the good guys, jesus, murdered,gandhi, murdered, MLK, MURDERED, Regan wounded.........."

carlin did a piece years later on his show you are all diseased. "ever notice the people we kill. jesus, gandhi malcolm x, mlk. all people who said love one anther 'shut him up' here shoot him,<bang>"


don't tell me carlin didn't at least subconsciously get that from hicks.

This charlatan needed to be exposed Bitzer.

Frontier justice, PROC style.

The irony about Hicks of course was,for all his anti religion shtick,he basically preached,he didn't tell jokes he preached just as bad and just as self righteously as all the priests he disparaged.

Also watching Hicks,there's an awful feeling of he thinks he's teaching you something,which is sickeningly smug.I suppose that's why I don't like him,I don't like to be taught by people I'm smarter than.

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?

Leary made a career out of ripping off Hicks..remember those MTV segments he used to do..basically Hicks material.
