Bill Hicks is a hack praised by 15 year olds who just started smoking weed

fpbp

Hicks was an unoriginal douche who thought he had figured everything out because he tripped on mushrooms.

>>85552569
Bill Hicks wasn't even funny. In fact if he was alive today he be like Stefan Molyneoux a nu-philisopher.

>>85552649
This.

>>85552662
Did he REALLY not know who Bill Hicks was before youtube or just didn't care?

To be fair, I find it incredibly hard to laugh at Norm too. I just don't get it, is it one of those "American humor" things where he isn't funny so that's supposed to be funny? Anyone who isn't British really shouldn't even attempt high-brow comedy, you lads clearly don't understand even the basics.

>>85552569

Bill Hicks was never funny. Just some ranting lunatic who appealed to edgy kids that are pissed Denis Leary is still alive.

>>85552569
I'm not a fan of Bill Hicks. I really tried but he just didn't seem as original as his fanbase claims.

Carlin had jokes. Hicks came off as preachy.

Carlon was preachy too but he wasn't just preachinh in a funny way. He always had somewhere funny he was going with it. Plus he put out alot of material. One of the og observational comics as well. You can't just lump carlin into one basket.

>>85552569
No one. You can still like Hicks and respect Norm's opinion of him.

>>85553124
Of course he came off as preachy, he stole his shtick from Sam Kinison who was a former preacher.

His act doesn't hold up either, the late 80s early 90s was the attitude era of comedy. Andrew Dice Clay is another one that got by on sheer attitude only to eventually break down crying like a little bitch on the Arsenio Hall show.

>>85552991
any list of the best standup comedians, by literally any critic, of any sensibility, would be overwhelmingly american. there really aren't even that many great british standups.

>>85552617
Agreed.

>>85552569
Bill.

Norm is clearly being contrarian, like he always does to get a rise out of people. However he does a good bit about "Important comics saying important things" in one of his podcast episodes which is spot on- Hicks was a pretty decent comic (not spectacular) but him trying to shoe-horn is hacky political opinions or philosophies was just awful, especially when you watch it and aren't a teenager

I thought Bill Hicks was hilarious when i first watched him in around 2010.
Recently rewatched him and didn't laugh once.
I'm not sure what changed.

>>85552736
Obviously he just ddin't care. Why would you think he hadn't heard of him?

>>85552824
Odd, I'm British and I'm suprised you can't see how influenced Norm is by British comedy he saw growing up in Canada. His whole way of seeming to enjoy his own malice seems very reminscent of Peter Cook to me.

>>85555100
As a briton I agree with this, Our funniest people weren't ever really stand up comics. I think the UK has produced some of the best comic minds (Peter Cook, Spike Milligan, The Pythons, Peter Ustinov) but very rarely a phenomenal stand up (you could argue for Stewart Lee but his appeal is very limited, you could argue for Bob Monkhouse but 'joke comics' are not really appreciated these days)

>>85556244
No he's not, Hicks was trash. You've just said yourself that Hicks was "not spectacular", why would saying that he's not funny be "contrarian"? Why do people like you think that "contrarian" means "evincing independent thought"?

>>85556311
Well because to say that he was outright not funny, which the quote essentially does, is clearly not true and I don't think that's Norm's opinion. But he's stretching it to annoy Hicks fans because that's the sort of thing he loves to do.

You can be not spectacular and still be funny (see Emo Philips)

>>85556297
>appeal
Why is this important? What matters is artistry. America's shit stand-ups massively outnumber and outearn their decent ones.

Also, Peter Ustinov wasn't a comic mind in the way the others were, he was an actor/writer/director who told stories well and could do funny stuff if asked.

>>85556393
Emo Philips is absolutely unbearable

>>85556393
You seem not to understand what a sense of humor is. I can quite believe that he didn't find Hicks at all funny.

Bill Hicks was the greatest comedian of all time, and if you disagree you're probably just dumb.

Hicks ended his famous special with a rant about how America should take all military funding and feed the world. An opinion echoed by Silverman towards the Vatican.

The problem of the former suggestion by Hicks is that a country that diverges all defence funds to feeding other citizens from other countries renders the American territory and protected territories vulnerable to attacks from any number of enemies.

What he was essentially advocating was for the temporary feeding of Africans so that America, Japan, Phillipines, etc could be vulnerable.

See there's this really low level thinking that some people have that there's a magic pill solution to poverty, but they're either trying to cause more poverty and death or they're just completey out of their depth by offering political economic military strategy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vumnu0Ok8sI

>>85556704
No, he was a toilet.

>>85556804
It's incredible to me that most "credible" American stand-ups do about twenty to thirty minutes of pure adolescent political ranting per set. I mean, Margaret Cho still gets applause for saying that gay people have rights to her audience of mostly gay people. It's so odd, are Americans really that stupid?

supposing they keep to one what schedule is it? Does a new episode come on a particular day?

>>85556841
They're just preachers preaching to their choirs. There's no real difference between the priest and the rabbi pontificating to people who already agree with them. The comedian like the preacher gets paid by the audience because they think he'll become destitute without their donations, never minding he owns multiple homes.

And what's with lefties always being obsessed with exploring space? It's such a common trope, it's got the consensus of reddit by far. Like are they hoping to meet and build friendships with aliens?

Real comedian coming through. No agenda, no narrative, just comedy.

>le comics comic

My thoughts exactly. In a just world, Norm probably would have never gotten attention outside of small clubs where people stare at him confusedly while he reads the paper or guts a fish onstage or some stupid other experimental Bobcat Goldthwait shit while one actual comedian who came to the show is fucking dying in the background shouting about how the plebs don't GET his comedy, maaaaan.

But, nope, somehow Norm is a household name even though I really fucking enjoyed Dirty Work, so what do I know?

I saw Bill Hicks live, he was great, but comedy shifts. Look at Charlie Chaplin. I could probably watch his entire output without cracking a smile but he had audiences at the time begging for more.

>>85562886
Norm can make a room laugh. Just because he earns a ton of extra good faith from the audience due to having the approval of his professional peers doesn't invalidate the results.

>>85554346
I've seen him live. His standup honestly isn't that great for the most part. He's at his best when he's on Conan, or his podcast episodes where he doesn't have any history with the guest (when he does know/respect them, they just spend an hour fellating themselves with boring stories).

>>85567200
Well, I'm a gentile, and I apparently got it. Then again, my stepdad is a classic jew so I have know just how true the stereotypes are.

he had about 30 minutes of very good material. more than most stand-ups manage in a lifetime.

still, it is pretty cringeworthy now. and very funny that he died broke at 33 from cancer while denis leary is still fit as a butcher's dog and worth $25m.

I heard he had either filmed or accepted an offer to film a commercial before he died.

It's also easy to be uncompromising in your material when you know you're terminally ill.

>>85552887
Ironically enough, Norm loves Monty Python, he says so multiple times on Stephen Merchant podcast.

I assume Hicks was really edgy or something at that point in time. He's not funny in the slightest, so people must have liked him for his political commentary instead. You can even tell when you watch one of his shows from the 90s that the audience spend a lot more time clapping than they do actually laughing. A stand up comedian harshly criticising right-wing politics is the furthest thing from original today, but maybe it was fresh back then, it's the only thing that makes sense.

Margaret Cho used to do racist impressions of her own mother making sexist comments about Gays (ass master). She also did a bit about listing the correct racial slurs for different Asians (gooks vs chinks).

While comedians like Cho should be offensive to Asian homosexuals, with the addition of the inherited "victim narrative", the lowest form of self-directed race based comedians can also freely direct their racism and sexism to Christian White Males (ie Sarah Silverman).

>>85573530

This. Norm is so massively overrated. His jokes suck but his autistic delivery (I'm autistic and I really think norm has assbergers) is kind of goofy that he is able to fool people into believing his lame jokes are funny. An hour of his podcast only gives me at most 30 seconds of laughter. But I don't like any standup at all. At least he doesn't joke about le sex and le drugs and other normalfag shit

I dont get his praise for Sam Kinison.

I understand that he was diffrent, but i just find him trivial. Maybe its hindsight, because all the things Hicks and Kinison said have become mainstream.

Also, how far up your own ass do you have to be have your special end in you being assassinated.

Norm rarely ever does "shock value" jokes.

>>85574038
I always feel bad for the homeless guys dog, you know the dogs thinkin "this is the longest walk ive ever been on"

that's just one joke, but even his famous 9/11 joke that is posted here a lot doesn't rely on shock humor. it's "edgy" because obviously it's about a terrorist attack but the punchlines themselves aren't "shock"

Guys, where is the Letterman Top Ten from the latest Norm MacDonald Live?

>>85576926
He cut it out of respect for Letterman 'cause he saw he was only doing it because it was Norm.

>(I'm autistic and I really think norm has assbergers)

Norm is far too socially aware to be an aspie, which you can't recognize. He just doesn't give enough fucks about what other people think and lacks ambition, which has obviously hurt his career.

>>85577316
That's a possibility. The other possibility is that his assburgers is the cause of him not giving a fuck and it makes him seem like he is "socially aware." Assburgers doesn't make you slobber on the ground while spilling spaghetti. Watch when he gets interviewed how he moves around and touches his hands on his pant legs.

>"socially aware."
Norm demonstrates awareness of other people's emotional states, and alters his own to make them laugh harder. Again, you're autistic, so your opinion on this is worthless.

>Watch when he gets interviewed how he moves around and touches his hands on his pant legs
If it's not just a fidget, he might have some form of ADD. Lots of comedians do.

Who the fuck is Norm? Is it short for Normies?

>>85552569
Bill Hicks and Carlin have never been funny to anyone other than teenage edgy atheists with a superiority complex, Norm is 100% correct

>>85574514
This is somewhat true. The thing that makes Norm funny is that he's a fucking weirdo and he thinks about weird shit and says it in a weird way. He's also got that thing about him where he can really draw you in because he's smilling and trying not to laugh while telling a story/joke, so you can tell he's been thinking about it and laughing to himself already. I can't help but laugh at most of his shit.

probably gonna get flak for taking it one further, but him and carlin are the same tier of "omg they are so right about society and people and stuff!" comedians who make people applaud in agreement more than clap

here check it out, im gonna make this up as i go along just read it in carlins voice

so ill tell ya what, all these politicians these old guys who all wanna be the president, i tell ya what, we get a big cage, throw em all in there, and whoever comes out alive gets my vote! how bout that?!

>teens who engage in heavy marijuana use often show disadvantages in neurocognitive performance, macrostructural and microstructural brain development, and alterations in brain functioning

>Marijuana use in adolescence could have implications for academic functioning, as well as social and occupational functioning extending into later life. Maturational brain changes, particularly myelination and synaptic pruning, are occurring throughout adolescence, well into early adulthood [2]. These remodeling processes are purportedly linked to efficient neural processing, and believed to underlie specialized cognitive processing necessary for optimal neurocognitive performance.

And the people who hate Hicks and Carlin tend to be Christian conservatives who feel victimized by the words of dead comedians. It's why most of the criticisms tend to be about muh fedoras and gloating that they're supposedly burning in hell right now.

Only approved comedians are those found at your local club. Once they make it big then they belong to reddit.

>>85574514
as others have said being autistic removes your ability to critique other people's social skills. Norm is so emotionally in tune with people that he's able to utilize that for comedic gain. Sometimes it ends up hurting people's feelings but giving a shit about people's emotions and not understanding them are two different things.

hello children! when his specials aired they were original enough.

the reason you think he's some hack fedora tipper is because modern comedians, social & political commentators, redditors and fedoras borrow their worldviews from the forefathers like hicks. yeah it's cringe to watch now but in his day he was hittin people with some woke shit they'd never heard before.

>>85552569
That's fine. Although Hicks is/was below, I hear the same things said about later Carlin shows.

Laughing at existence is the best comedy.
Friends, sex, race, class "why does airplane food" observation jokes come afterwards.
