It's Hicks so obviously it's NSFW. Furthermore, you've been warned that his Satan snarl is damn noisy.

I used to be on a Bill Hicks kick a few years back. He was a very honest and interesting comedian, however he could get a bit preachy. I normally wouldn't mind that, but when he included god in some of his material it somehow made it feel a little less like comedy, and more like a sermon. That being said he was a brilliant comedian and I hate that he is gone.

Good video by the way. I'm sure if he was still alive he'd agree with it wholeheartedly.

I think most of those thoughts could be applied to Sam Kinison as well, both great passed comedians.

I was really distraught when Carlin died. It seems that all of my favorite comedians are dying.
