Sometimes, in order to be a good comedian you just need to be completely honest, and Bill Hicks was a master at being so goddamn honest with his jokes and cynical comic sketches. I truly miss him.
Not sure if this is the source but there is a dnb song which samples the line “Go back to bed America, you are free to do as we tell you.”

It also samples Trump talking about the war on drugs and building a wall. I’m sure some of you here will appreciate it!
Where the fuck are todys representaion of truth to power? How come the biggest standups today have just cow-towed to the establishement.. chapelle, rogan, bargatze, e.t.c.. I haven’t seen anyone even try to affect the status quo. Everyone is just worshipping the almigthy dollar.
Can anyone explain why he had such a big following in the UK? I’m from the states and he’s one of many great comedians we have here but I always notice British people ogling him.
yeap bread and circus. I loved AG tho, even went to a taping- I vividly remember struggling with a soundstage door as it was heavy and I was little, and then one of the gladiators came up behind me and effortlessly punched it open lol
What is this subversive messaging?!? This isn’t allowed! This isn’t approved! Ban them all!
Its just a ride!
I see Bill Hicks I upvote.
RIP.
Ahh yes, the stand up comedian. Truly the experts on politics, socioeconomic theory, and philosophy.
Please tell me I don’t need an /s to express my sarcasm on this.
Bill Hicks is a national treasure
i think hes pretty good tho the spicy could be toned down a little

Sample was well placed in Freelands “we want your soul”

What is the government telling me to do right now?
Need an alternative timeline where Hicks is still alive and became a Podcast Bro but the anti-Joe Rogan
Best to ever do it.
“Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me!”
Big fan of his stance on advertising and marketing too

Crazy how this guy turned into Alex Jones
We want your soul
Does he have any bits that are funny? I don’t get the appeal of this guy as a comic at all.
Everyone missing the point that this applies to both left and right politics.
It’s too bad the CIA grabbed him, fed us that cancer story, re-educated Bill and unleashed him on the public as “Alex Jones”
(I don’t actually believe this)
“K. Here’s my take on gays in the military…anybody, DUMB ENOUGH, to join the military, you should let them.”
We want your soul
I wish he were alive today.

So, all it takes is one bad Supreme Court ruling for Reddit to sink into JFK conspiracy theories? What the fuck.
Hey, I think he stole that routine from Denis Leary.

I like his joke bout being president and they show you the JFK assassination but it from perspective you have never seen before to send a message.
Let’s call this one Nurses in Heat 3.
Nice title Billy, now film my butt!

Ahhh. Goat boy returns
Bill was a Prophet and a man born way before his time. Love ya legend!
Ayy not too often we get a Bill Hicks clip…
I miss the days before Bill Hicks was Alex Jones.
Good thing reddit doesn’t censor anything! A truly free and open platform for all ideas!
THEY LIVE. WE SLEEP.
