Dude I get what you mean, I was just pointing out your contradictions.  I don't watch nearly as much Hicks as I used to when I first discovered him years ago.  There I said it.

But as a fan, I'm not gonna go saying I got "completely bored" and then out of nowhere bring in a another comic saying "he's just as good".

What kind of fan says something like that?

Would you say that to Hicks face?

Well, boredom from something can only happen when there is a finite amount of it, so your hypothetical question doesn't make sense. If I could say it to his face, he would still be doing stand up so no, I wouldn't be bored of him because I'd be listening to his new stuff. If I could say it to his dead face, he'd probably agree with me because, you know, I heard it all before a bunch of times. Lenny Bruce was a big inspiration to Bill but I doubt Bill played Lenny Bruce on repeat--Bill was as much into the new comics as he was the older ones.

As an artist myself, I'll occasionally refer back to my inspirations but once in a blue moon. I'll occasionally refer back to Hicks for something but this is more for an academic approach than wanting to relax and entertain myself.

In my opinion, being bored of hicks is a testament to how much I was into him. Think of it is as an honor. I think he was brilliant, ahead of his time, but I'm also bored of it at this point. Praise and boredom are not conflicting beliefs. It is a complex emotion but a completely logical one.

As far as art goes, comedy actually has the shortest lifespan for me.
Music has the longest life span. I have literally been listening to some songs for 16 years that I am not bored of. And you might find that insane.

Hmm....I'm kinda starting to maybe sorta somewhat almost possibly think your telling the truth, and that you really are a Hicks fan, and that your not secretly Doug Stanhope.

You need to redeem yourself a little more after those first harsh words though....

Let's hear how much you love Bill...cmon let it out.

Here, I'll give you this,
when I first discovered Hicks I went to the store and bought a DVD and two albums all at the same time (thinking I just made out with like 3 hours of comedy) and was pissed because he had so little material that some of the same bits ended up as repeats across all three purchases. That's how soon this guy died. WAY too soon. When I get into something, I get INTO it it fanatically, then when I feel I milked it I put it down.

However, PFFR, (creators of Wonder Showzen, Xavier: Renegade Angel, The Heartshe Holler, and The Final Flesh) are my personal comedy gods. Wonder Showzen may be the most influential piece of art to me, period, except for the Beatles. I consider Wonder Showzen fine art in the same realms as Mark Twain, humor works like Confederacy of Dunces and any majorly revered comic.

They just put out the Bill Hicks Complete Collection boxed set, with all of his shows, CDs, etc.  His brother probably had those shows taken down from YouTube.

Dude Hick's wouldn't have become that apathetic. Stanhope is great and all but I feel like he has no zest for life.

doug stanhope is funnier than bill hicks.

they both touch on some pretty serious topics but bill hicks was way too serious about his shtick and it made him unhappy. doug stanhope takes it the opposite way and doesn't give a fuck about anything

tongue-in-cheek is the best form of comedy

I'm a total Bill Hicks fan, I know all his material, however we are getting to a point with media where the best way to make money off of it are ads. I'm totally pro-advertisment. Those videos also cost someone money to host them, so there is that.

I think Bill Hicks died way too young. It only took me a year or two to get completely bored by hicks because he has such a small catalogue of work because of his unfortunate death. Doug Stanhope is as good as Bill Hicks, imo.





Doug Stanhope?  Step into my office....

His catalog isn't as small as you'd think, IMO.  Not sure what you've seen/heard, but there are a ton of Hicks shows you can find on the net that were never released officially, where he tells jokes that I hadn't heard elsewhere.  Stuff that he makes up on the fly or stuff that he was working on that maybe he had planned on using in a special or something.  And he tells the same joke slightly or completely different most times anyway.  I guess it's all in how you look at it and/or how much you like him.

This gif is so badass. Drinking and driving isn't but at the same time that was pretty cool and funny :lol:.

I saw that a lot of Bill Hicks's stuff was taken off of an older thread that I would visit to watch too.
What's yr favorite Bill Hick's clip?

If you recognize the genius in hicks but fail to see stanhopes talent you're a fanboy

Stanhopes message is nearly identical, and he might not be as intelligent as Hicks was but he's damn close and just as funny if not more funny.
