Ah so he's intentionally unfunny? That can work sometimes.

Like Francis said, his comedy has aged. With modern comics who just don't care about being as confrontational and offensive as they want to be they've kind of made Hicks just another weird curmudgeon, but if you account for that it can open up his act much like listening to a 60s or 70s album that's been copied multiple times over the years and no longer feels as special as it once did, but if you give it a real shot knowing its context you can see that the innovation comes from a place of freaknik creativity that following innovators aren't going to have because the hard work has kind of been done.

Hicks attitude and approach back in the day was anti pc and badass but nowadays his attitude is sort of a given. I personally like him cause i heard him back in the 90's with this one night stand.



Compared to the other 90's comedians i knew (Like Sinbad) Bill was on another lvl. The 80's and 90's had a lot cheesy bad comedians that made Bill look better.

I never said that he wasn't creative or uninfluential, I said he wasn't funny.

The new Steve Martin Martin Short special is really really good.

This is the one that got me into these

I never watched Hicks in hope of laughing, more in hopes of some enlightening monologue.

She's dope.

Ja he has great intellectual moments and is pretty intelligent. Just like, not very funny for a comedian.



Are Hunter S. Thompson's lectures stand-up?

I agree. Some conspiracy theorists think he faked his death and became InfoWars' Alex Jones.

Ja I've seen that one before, it's a pretty good one. What if he got lyposuction though? Maybe he's actually Russell Brand.
