Who's yours?

I've been listening to a lot of Bill Hicks (RIP) lately – the guy who described himself as "Chomsky with dick jokes".

This cracks me up

quote:
"What'd ya say we lighten things up and talk about abortion?

"It's hard to come to a consensus. Some of my friends think that these pro-life people are annoying idiots, and some of my friends think these pro-life people are evil ****s.

How will we ever come to a consensus."


Or the one where he compares the Gideons to ninjas.

bill hicks is good yeah.. I think he does too much smoking jokes, but I like him a lot.

Personally though, if I had to name only one from so many, I'd say.. Eddie Izzard.

Another great Hicks moment (should be targetting the right crowd here )

ADVERTISING AND MARKETING

By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself. No, no, no it's just a little thought. I'm just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they'll take root - I don't know. You try, you do what you can. Kill yourself. Seriously though, if you are, do. Aaah, no really, there's no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan's little helpers. Okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously. No this is not a joke, you're going, "there's going to be a joke coming," there's no ****ing joke coming. You are Satan's spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are ****ed and you are ****ing us. Kill yourself. It's the only way to save your ****ing soul, kill yourself. Planting seeds. I know all the marketing people are going, "he's doing a joke... there's no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, ****ing hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend - I don't care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil ****ing makinations. Machi... Whatever, you know what I mean.

I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, "Oh, you know what Bill's doing, he's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market, he's very smart." Oh man, I am not doing that. You ****ing evil scumbags! "Ooh, you know what Bill's doing now, he's going for the righteous indignation dollar. That's a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We've done research - huge market. He's doing a good thing." Godammit, I'm not doing that, you scum-bags! Quit putting a godamm dollar sign on every ****ing thing on this planet! "Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market, Bill's very bright to do that." God, I'm just caught in a ****ing web. "Ooh the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market - look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar..." How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like ****ing babies at night, don't you?" "What didya do today honey?" "Oh, we made ah, we made ah arsenic a childhood food now, goodnight." [snores] "Yeah we just said you know is your baby really too loud? You know," [snores] "Yeah, you know the mums will love it." [snores] Sleep like ****ing children, don't ya, this is your world isn't it?

Bill Bailey is good at improvising but he plays the same character all the time, even in Black Books he played his stand-up character. Steve Coogan is the funniest writer and actor ive seen, he's written for and played all kinds of idiots, but done them genuinely well, not just for laughs.

I loved Bill Bailey's 'Part Troll' shown on Channel 4, especially his Kraftwerk tribute, with po-faced well-dressed men singing 'The Hokey Cokey' in Hoch Deutsch.


Victoria Wood I like very much, for sitcoms and the occasional stand up.


Jo Brand too. And of course George Bush Jr, for showing how to perform long term ironic humour.

Bill Hicks was a god... may he rest in peace. Great comedian with plenty of insightful commentary.

He also did a good routine about Australia. Here's his take on the English sending convicts to Australia:

"Let me get this straight... you keep the shitty weather and the shitty food... and we get the great barrier reef and lobsters the size of canoes......... I'm Jack the Ripper!!"
