  1. I also love it when he says “Your children are not special. I know you THINK they are. I’m just telling you that they’re not.”
    Truth….undiluted.

  2. @BoJaxon11 hey foot fetish boy, how is Bill Hicks a hack?

  3. @Overrated226 It seems that you have misunderstood Bill Hicks, if you so arrogantly claim that whatever he says it the truth.

  4. He doesn’t “suck”, he tells the whole truth, he wouldn’t care what any of you would have to say about him whether it be bad or good, and in my head, he’s laughing at you all now. He was a true comic, what comics should be, tells the truth, and hey, who says you can’t throw a bit of laughter into the truth?

  5. kill yourself, like you did bill with all those drugs and chain smoking you pathetic hack.

  6. implying cursing is considered funny.

    this guy sucks

  7. Amen Bill. R.I.P.

  8. @Icannottolerateit troll bitch

  9. @patelkedar manipulating people to buy products is exactly what marketing has become sir… your united states of consumism are a cancer to the world…

  10. @PokerPlum hey, he’s a good comedian…

  11. God- I wish he’d lived longer. He would be an important voice in these times.

  12. @Icannottolerateit Once again, google books, American Scream, page 129. Bill was NEAR BROKE when he gave this money to the poor. Again, NEAR BROKE, but he STILL gave money. You are distorting information again.

    Stop lying you bullying, arrogant, sadistic piece of shit. Again, you are a troll and an agitator. Go away and stop defaming people. I really feel sorry for you. You must suffered from bad parenting and a lousy childhood. This would explain why you are a dickless liar…

  13. @AmericanOutlaw87 We all have a lot to learn from a lonely, alcoholic, hypocrite who told a few clever jokes about the establishment and popular culture but never lead by example. Words are meaningless, sir, and all that matters is what we do. Railing on greedy people yet only giving away spare change IS hypocrisy.

    Giving change to the homeless? What a hero! If only we all just gave our spare change to the homeless the world’s problems would be solved!

  14. @AmericanOutlaw87 How have I lied? Prove that I have lied. Giving some change to the homeless is not exactly some profound act of love. I doubt he missed the change and I doubt it even felt like a sacrifice.

    Bill Hicks is better than me? I could have died in my cradle and managed to be less destructive than Bill Hicks. He spews venom and people love it, myself included at one time.

  15. @Icannottolerateit On google books, search for American Scream. Go to the top of page 129. Bill gave his cash to the homeless.

    You, sir, are a liar and a troll. You have been exposed as nothing more than an agitator and a sadistic bully who wants to defame a man who was ten times better than you. Please leave this page before you humiliate yourself further, you lying asshole.

  16. @AmericanOutlaw87 So you are criticizing me for providing no evidence but not criticizing Bill Hicks?

    So you say the burden of proof is on me to provide evidence I DO the poor then ask where is my evidence to prove Bill hicks NEVER helped the poor?

    You are not being very fair.

    Of course he did not he never speaks about helping anyone. One speaks about what one does.

  17. I’m sure all the dislikes are from advertising and marketing people! They’re like cockroaches trying to discourage people from listening to it-exactly WHY he says that!!

  18. COMMENT, because that was what Bill Hicks was all about, COMMENTS!

  19. @Icannottolerateit Stop distorting my words, you arrogant little bastard. I am calling you a hypocrite because you have ZERO evidence that you help the poor. Without this evidence, buddy boy, I shall presume that you are doing exactly what you claim Bill is doing- not practicing what one preaches.
    Secondly, where is your evidence that Bill Hicks NEVER helped the poor? How do you know this? Did you know him? You are an ignorant little narcissist, you know that?

  20. @AmericanOutlaw87 I did not criticize him for not helping the poor so get your fact straight. I criticized him for criticizing others hypocritically.

    Now had I criticized him for just not helping the poor as opposed to hypocrite then you would have something against me. Until then show me that I am a hypocrite.

  21. @patelkedar When Bill was with us, advertising was way less offensive than it is today. When you consider what gets marketed to ‘us’, it (marketing) can be very detrimental to the well being of our planet and species, not to mention the health of our economy and nation. Marketing is not the root problem. The long term ponzi scheme that is our economy and those who have infiltrated our government on behalf of global financial, and therefore general domination, are the problem.

  22. @PokerPlum what is ‘destroyed’ and where can I get some?!!!

  23. @PokerPlum This is your country. LOL.Bill was biggest in your country. Owned.

  24. @patelkedar Stop distorting my words. I think you’ll make a fine marketer, beacuse you are a liar. Marketing is the creating of satisfying exchange relationships, as I said in my last comment.
    I don’t give two shits about what you perceive marketing to be. I took a class on it, believe me. Perhaps you should read about Edward Bernays and his work concerning advertising, which plays a major part in marketing.

  25. @AmericanOutlaw87 I am here cause I am interested in digital marketing and the correlation between technology and marketing. When I did the search, I found Hicks. Who said I don’t like him? I actually agree with him on some other topics he’s discussed in his bits. I just disliked his viewpoint here.

    Manipulating people to buy products isn’t what marketing is all about. I see it as promoting products such as smartphones or small businesses.
    You’re getting unnecessarily angry. So bye.
