William Melvin Hicks (* 16. Dezember 1961 in Valdosta, Georgia; † 26. Februar 1994 in Little Rock, Arkansas), besser bekannt als Bill Hicks, war ein US-amerikanischer Komiker. Er ist bekannt für seinen bissigen, oft gesellschaftskritischen Humor und wird darum vielfach mit Lenny Bruce verglichen. Er selber bezeichnete seine Auftritte als „Chomsky with dick jokes“ (etwa: „Chomsky mit Penis-Witzen“).

Lebenslauf

Hicks war schon im Jungenalter ein Possenreißer. Als Fünfzehnjähriger hat er 1977 zusammen mit einem Freund sein erstes Engagement als Stand-Up-Comedian. In der Frühzeit dieser Form der Komik können die beiden mit regelmäßigen Auftritten im Comedy Workshop in Houston Erfolge feiern. Im folgenden Jahr tritt Hicks solo auf. 1980 zieht er aus dem ländlichen Texas nach Los Angeles.

Die folgenden Jahre sind geprägt von zunehmendem Konsum von Alkohol und Drogen („I had some great time on drugs!“). Dieses selbstzerstörerische Verhalten ändert den Ton von Hicks’ Shows: Er wird rauher, Publikumsbeschimpfung („By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing…kill yourself. Kill yourselves, seriously. You’re the ruiner of all things good. Seriously, no, this is not a joke. „There’s gonna be a joke coming…“ There’s no fucking joke coming, you are Satan’s spawn, filling the world with bile and garbage, you are fucked and you are fucking us, kill yourselves, it’s the only way to save your fucking soul.

    is the money the dealers and scum make from high school and college kids that allows them to buy guns that kill innocent people part of the "mind opening effect"? you never seem to mention it on your brainless arguments.

    "C'mon, everybody, let's be hypocritical bastards. It's okay to drink your drug. We meant those other drugs. Those untaxed drugs. Those are the ones that are bad for you."

    Nothing silly about talking about the positive effects of some drugs, which very few people does.. Pot, LSD, Mushrooms and DMT are all great drugs if used as directed (to quote Stanhope) and is easily connected to philosophy, art & free thinking cause of its mind opening effect they can have on you (especially DMT).. Pot can be a ambition killer though, seen it happen alot... Anyway, love you Bill.

    Back in those days, popular music was not just "all the rage" it was put on by very talented, unique and passionate people. People with heart and soul and expressed it through creativity. Sure there were some shitty ones, and I personally think Magma, Boredoms and Ruins should be in there. On a side note, the ideology of the smoking/cancer thing isn't too intellectual, just funny and offensive. He's a button pusher

    there's nothing wrong, but everyone was listening to those bands. stones were listened by the own teenage girls he criticized for liking cyrus or whatever at the time. it's not like he himself wasn't consuming whatever the labels were promoting. i didn't see him talk about true pioneer psychedelic bands. and there isn't a correct outlook in life because there is no universal moral code book. i do agree with him on a lot of subjects, but others i think are silly. the whole smoking vs health thing. the whole drugs are good for you and cure cancer attitude.

    you missed the point dude..and what the fuck is wrong with the stones or ac/dc or jimi hendrix? nothing is...the point is not only did they ROCK, but they rocked hard and partied like no fuckin tomorrow. now everyone's a bunch of generic disney born pussies. but besides, his music taste or rants on it aren't whats important. its his no fear attitude, his highly intelligent and CORRECT outlook on life and the world around us. You should watch American: The Bill Hicks Story. I guarantee you're judging on all the wrong reasons

    he wasn't that good and had a mediocre music taste for someone that complained that much about the current state of things. and he sounded like a 15 year old with the whole drugs thing.

    Bill Hicks was the single most intelligent, intellectual, honest, deep and though provoking man to walk this earth in hundreds of years. I devote my career to this man for the words he's shared with the world, and hope humanity is smart enough to open their eyes and ears for this brand of wisdom. If not for Bill, we'd be lost. You need to witness, pay attention, listen, and not just hear. If you don't respect and/or like Bill Hicks, there is something wrong with you. Grow the fuck up...or kill yourself. Please, seriously, the world can't use ignorant, senseless scum like you.

    50 year old Bill would've been a great chap to have around, I guess. To keep us, docile masses, sane. Happy birthday, Bill!

    I agree, any picture depicting smoking or drug use of any kind should be prohibited.

    What politicians did Bill support in life? I can't recall any. I don't think he'd feel any differently about today's politicians.

    Actually, Dennis Leary stole material from Hicks. Far from being influential, but inspiring enough to have someone want to steal his jokes because they were that good. Only he could perform them to comedic perfection, though. Anyway, he isn't for everybody. Subjectivity, and all. And now, a-trolling they will go.
