Bill on Flag Burning

For the AP Government students out there. Yet, another Supreme Court case referenced in Hicks' Comedy. He is, of course, referring to Johnson v. Texas. Enjoy!

Bill Remembered Part 3

Bill Remembered Part 2

Bill Remembered Part 1

It's about time. The video of Hicks' routine has never been seen anywhere since 1993. Unfortunately, Dave does not have the courage to tell the truth as to why he censored it (Pro Life Interests sponsors), but at least he did this.

Rest in peace, guys

Comedian Bernie Mac Dead At 50

CHICAGO - Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50.

"Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles.

The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease. - Yahoo News!

This came out of no where.

World's Oldest Jokes Found

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - The world's oldest recorded joke has been traced back to 1900 BC and suggests that toilet humor was as popular with the ancients as it is today.

It is a saying of the Sumerians, who lived in what is now southern Iraq and goes: "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap."

It heads the world's oldest top 10 joke list published by the University of Wolverhampton on Thursday.

A 1600 BC gag about a pharaoh, said to be King Snofru, comes second -- "How do you entertain a bored pharaoh? You sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile and urge the pharaoh to go catch a fish."

The oldest British joke dates back to the 10th Century and reveals the bawdy face of the Anglo-Saxons -- "What hangs at a man's thigh and wants to poke the hole that it's often poked before? Answer: A key."

George Carlin Dead At 71

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs, dirty words and the demise of humanity, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday. He was 71.

Carlin, who had a history of heart and drug-dependency problems, died at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.

Known for his edgy, provocative material developed over 50 years, the bald, bearded Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine called "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television." A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of the routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court. - Yahoo!

It was only few days ago when Fallon posted a Carlin video.

Seven Dirty Words

George Carlin's most famous stand-up routine, "Seven Words You Can't Say on Television".

Notice that Blink-182 totally ripped that off for the song "Family Reunion" from "The Mark Tom and Travis Show" album.

Observe:

My Little Secret - Bo Burnham

Another funny one that rivals "Klan Kookout"

Klan Kookout - Bo Burnham

Apparently this kid is the shit. He has over 10 million video views on YouTube and you guessed it he goes to St. John's Prep. (Chances are you didn't guess it). Anyway, here is just one of his ridiculously raunchy yet ridiculously funny satires. When I find the time, I will post more.

Harvey Korman dies

The world has lost a great comedian.

LOS ANGELES, California -- Comic actor Harvey Korman has died at 81, according to the UCLA Medical Center.

Rest in peace, Mr. Korman. I'll be sure to catch Blazing Saddles for the millionth time next time it's on.

Gays in the Military

SEATTLE (AP) — The military cannot automatically discharge people because they're gay, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday in the case of a decorated flight nurse who sued the Air Force over her dismissal.

The three judges from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals did not strike down the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. But they reinstated Maj. Margaret Witt's lawsuit, saying the Air Force must prove that her dismissal furthered the military's goals of troop readiness and unit cohesion.

The "don't ask, don't tell, don't pursue, don't harass" policy prohibits the military from asking about the sexual orientation of service members but requires discharge of those who acknowledge being gay or engaging in homosexual activity. - Associated Press

"Anyone dumb enough to join the military should be allowed in" - Bill Hicks

Bill Hicks on Rick Astley

Rick Astley? Have you seen this banal incubus at work? Boy, if this guy isn’t heralding Satan’s imminent approach to Earth, huh. “Don’t ever wanna make you cry, never wanna make you sigh…never gonna break your heart.” …oh, I wouldn’t worry about that without a dick, buddy. You got a corn nut! You got a clit! You’re not even a guy! You’re an AIDS germ that got off a slide! They’re puttin’ music to AIDS germs, they’re puttin’ a drum machine behind them in a metronome beat and Ted Turner’s colorizing ‘em, God damn it!
