Bill Hicks on Marketing

mbob67 Says:

Nov 19, 2009 - @ curlysheepishbas It annoys me when people regard Bill Hicks as one of the funniest comedians ever. I'd get equally annoyed if people said the Sex Pistols made the greatest music ever. While a great band and rebellious, their music in and of itself is not the best. You could say that it's all opinion, but it's a fact that some music is better than other music and some comedy is funnier than other comedy.

Nov 19, 2009 - @curlysheepishbas cont... I was trying to see if other people agreed with me on his humor (not intelligence) being overrated and possibly spark some debate. Unfortunately nearly all the debate that came from it was about logic and semantics. I guess youtube isn't the best forum for these kind of things.

Nov 19, 2009 - Bill was Fucking goddamn good at what he did, one of the best we've ever had. Listen to your mom, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it all, UNLESS IT"S FUCKING HILARIOUS, AND FoR the COMMON GOOD I know I know, but she thought it.

Nov 20, 2009 - fair enough, youtube probably isn't to be honest. Full of kids and teens who can hide behind computers and say what they wish. Shame really but hey it is what it is.

Nov 20, 2009 - People subconsciously like to be lead, seduced. Masses don't like to think for themselves! they want someone gives them the truth easily and take the responsibility off their shoulders ! _to be continued...

Nov 23, 2009 - HA HA HA 0:39 "There's gonna be a joke comin, - THERE'S NO F***IN JOKE COMMIN!" It's these beautiful little moments in Hicks' stand up that sets him apart from the rest and I don't care what anyone says, he is naturally a funny and intelligent guy. I say is coz he lives on! Amen. Genius Comedian lol His Impressions are second to none. His rip on Rick Astley was amazing.

Nov 24, 2009 - Kill Yourself. The funniest man to walk the planet and he used humor as a weapon to open peoples minds. Can't reach everyone of course, which Bill knew well enough. You prove his point.

Nov 24, 2009 - God, Bill hicks sounds and looks an aweful lot like Alex Jones...

Nov 24, 2009 - I'm sorry, I don't think you get why he hates marketing so much. It feeds on the false-self of people, their greed, libido and all else. Leading people astray from what they should really be focused on. The media and marketing in general have really fucked up my generation so far. Encouraging people to buy what they want to be sold, figuratively and not, and ruining creativity and any real concept of reality.

caveboy0000 Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - false-self of people! what is that!!? what they should really be focused on? what?really!! the problem is that many people never know that during their life span. and marketing is not about goods on the store shelves! haven't you seen how well Obama was marketed and sold to people!!?? about reality I recommend to check out Robert anton Wilson views. the problem with bill hicks and george Carline or other angry people like them is that, They don't offer any alternative ?

Freakntheworld Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - caveboy000, what he meant by false self of people is that by being shown all day everyday on everything all these advertisements for everything, it's always that which occupies our mind and that what really should be focused on is progress in life in every since of the word. we've stopped that once the rich and powerful realized that they can control everyone by keeping them occupied with pointless transactions. the solution is to open people's minds to that reality so we can begin to change it.
