Best Hicks jokes I've ever heard, even though there were only a few of them.

the last minute's good where the female interviewer just doesn't comprehend what he's saying...

I made that Jesus/cross observation a few years ago... even followed it up in similar fashion: "like inviting Joan of Arc to a bonfire."

Funny to see it echoed by a pro.

"Am i supposed to go out and tickle them individually?"

ROFL that's the hardest i've laughed in over a year..

needs nsfw

edit: and that last line is classic.

Bill Hicks - ahead of his time.

ROFL, I love how the female reporter is quite obviously getting frustrated, though she's interviewing HIM, and HIS beliefs, not asking her for her opinions on the matter.

That closing line nearly made me crap my pants, though: [Hicks pauses, looks frustrated and turns to female reporter] "Can I recommend some jugglers you might like?"

^ in response to her thinking a comedian should only perform material that doesn't offend 'anybody'.
we don't go on about freedom of speech in britain, it's just there. i think that's one of the reasons the female reporter doesn't get it. i get the impression these two people are something to do with his show getting put on british tv (?)..

I <3 Bill Hicks. Someone promote this.

Gotta love his clarity of vision. Before his time? His comedy is timeless - is that the same thing? It'll never age.

These to interviewers are why comedy pretty much died in the 90s. Everybody was worried about offending somebody. Bill Hicks was a revolutionary...not in the fact that he did edgy satire, but how he did what he did during the time that he did it. Since then plenty have taken the reins and done that style of comedy, but these days, it's a fairly common comedy style.
