@violettak Said I couldn't quite find the right category for him, but here it is.
Any Bill Hicks fans? If you have no idea who he is and you like black/religious/political comedy, check him out. He was an amazing comedian!
For the fans, what's your favourite Bill Hicks skit?
Some of mine -
It Seemed So Plausible (Dinosaurs in the Bible)
As Long As We're Talking Shelf Life (Kennedy)
...
and basically anytime he talks about drugs, particularly -
You Gotta Play Miniature Golf.
I've not seen/heard as much Bill Hicks as I'd like to, but what I have heard has been hilarious.
There's a great "Hammel On Trial" tribute song to him, called "I Wish Bill Hicks Was Alive".
Hang on, I'll get the lyrics (he says, as if you're reading this real time, and will experience the passage of time
)
I wish Bill Hicks was alive, I wish Bill Hicks had survived
I wish Bill Hicks was alive, I wish Bill Hicks had survived
But as Bill would be the first to answer
This is the real world, and he had cancer
I wish Bill Hicks was alive
And I would bring my friends to see Bill do brilliant comedy
Watch him needle an aristocrat
I wouldn't resurrect him only for that
I wish Bill Hicks was alive.
Spoken: The Devil call up to Heaven. Say, "Put me through to God."
God get on the phone, say "What?"
The Devil say, "You got Bill Hicks up there?"
God say "Yep. Sold out. Two weeks. Gabriel Arena."
The Devil say, "Can you get me tickets?"
God say, "Whoa-ho, they love him up here. They're bussin' em up from purgatory. What'd you ever do for me?"
Devil say, "Well, without me, there'd be no you."
God say, "I'll see what I can do."
The Devil say, "Can you get me backstage passes?"
God say, "Whoa, you're pushin' it. Always pushin' it."
Sung: For all the reasons I just gave to bring Bill back from the grave
For all the reasons I just gave to bring Bill back from the grave
The world is crazy and you're on your own
I hear Bill's voice, I feel I'm not alone
I wish Bill Hicks was alive
Alive.
