fuck this guy. the worst is dudes in their 30s whose sense of humor/jokes is still totally derived from bill hicks routines. also A+ for being all antimarketing and anticorporations but still smoking, good job putting your money where your precious ideology is.

to be fair, you could also say that making fun of bill hicks/bill hicks fans isn't really much of a challenge either

"They said Koresh was a frustrated rock musician who had a messianic complex and wanted to sleep with underage girls. I don't know how to break it to you but that sounds like everyone I know in Austin. This may not be an isolated incident."

Hicks probably hated advertising because he was a victim of it due to his cig smoking.

I know it's important to distance yourself from dude since his diehard fans are 20,000 leagues below embarrassing, but let it be said that no one could craft a laser-guided rant like this guy, even if you didn't agree with it or thought his targets were too easy.

Also, I wish this box set was like a real, actual box set and not a two-disc best of packaged with some DVDs I'd never watch
― na'vi buffalo (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 17 August 2010 14:22 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe I'd be more tolerant of him if he were marketed as like a monologuist or something? because maybe he writes awesome "laser-guided rants" but that's not really something I care about when I'm watching comedy, I mainly want like well-crafted, funny jokes.

he was hilariously funny and his delivery was faultless.

funny to complain about mindless fans and then say your problem with grokking his work is how he's marketed

His criticism of bad music types might still stand up if his own music wasn't unfotunately lame, I wonder who actually cares whether they include it in a box set or not.

i mean its no crime to not want bill hicks venting in your ear, but c'mon every dead person's cottage industry and cult is insufferable

Agreed, the guy was fucking hilarious.
Dont agree with this at all:

his rant on gays in the military is still appropo and classic.

Re: the Louie heckler scene
I REALLY love the whole "this is the only 15 minutes of happiness we get and you ruined it" which was some REAL TALK about the nature of performing AND the oblivious of some people to their surroundings.
But since dude is breaking it down to the elements, I really would have loved a sentence on two on exactly why he or Patton or Hicks were so quick to call women "cunts" when they ruin their show, because there's def another layer going on there that he would have probably been able to explore articulately
