George Carlin is Digg?
Parker Hall
I used to hate his comedy and thought his fans were all fedora tipping neckbeard trenchcoaties
But he has some good stuff, like his bit on non smokers He has a lot of supposed "influence" on modern day comedians but even his standup specials were pretty hit and miss
Justin Foster
I always hear Dennis Leary stole his act well congrats to him because he did it funnier than this smug fuck ever did
Noah Martinez
5/6 of those things are true, though
im a mega right wing trump supporter but Hicks was right about almost everything
Carson Scott
I love standup comedy and even when it's outdated I can respect some old school comedians. I enjoy watching Lenny Bruce just because of what I can see as his contribution to the craft.
That said, this faggot never did shit and I'm glad he died. George Carlin wasn't much better but I do think he had an angle that wasn't just pure edgy.

I feel the same
I got into standup comedy only late last year but after doing open mics I have gained a greater appreciation for older generations of comedians I used to dislike. Even some comedians I personally don't find super funny I can still appreciate their style, delivery, appeal and dedication
I'd love to see most of Sup Forums try come up with an hour of solid material that would go over with an arena audience or even a bar

>Being a hugely successful comedian is a bad thing
I know what you're trying to get at about the intellectual, artsy "craft" of comedy but 95% of the comedians Ive met want to be famous and get over with a large audience. Especially in a country that isn't the fucking US if you don't have that mainstream appeal hardly anyone is gonna give a shit about you unfortunately
I see both sides of the coin but that's just the unfortunate reality. Most comedy club audience members are fucking normies

You know, user, that's a really funny way of saying "in the last twenty years since the Internet became accessible to just about everybody, we have worked mercilessly to find out what you probably knew but didn't want to address - that the Rothschild Family, George Soros, David Rockefeller and a host of other soulless individuals have been working non-stop for the last 250 years, from generation to generation, to destroy every non-Jew on this planet and create a paradise for themselves, and themselves only."
I'm pretty sure that's what you meant, right? Right?
Pro-tip, sonny. There's no "middle ground" anymore. They control the banks. They control the media. They control your "entertainment" that you talk about here on Sup Forums. They control everything and use unethical and immoral means to continue controlling it.
You're with them, or you're with us. Take the Sup Forums pill. We have a cosy fire and marshmallows!

Never stops being funny, really. You simple, soft-skinned, callous-free faggots. Not one of you has done a single day worth of hard work, in your life.

Hicks wasn't the best at segwaying his jokes together I kinda like that though, he just said the shit he wanted to say. Didn't need a sprinklyconnection between each gag

Aiden Lopez
Did Bill Hicks ever do a single day of work?
I'm a millenial and I slaved away years of my life in pizza places. Now I work in finance and will probably match your shitty retirement fund within a year or so. CFA charterholder and shit.
Why are boomers such a waste of life?
Samuel Hughes
I was talking about Hicks and Carlin the other day with someone online. The guy I spoke with didn't like Carlin because Carlin was a bitter old man who painted the world as a dismal place and offered no solutions to get through life. Hicks offered juvenile solutions like smoking and taking drugs and that probably led him to an early grave.
Grayson Bennett

Jayden Barnes
Honestly OP, not seeing anything wrong here.
Christopher Ortiz
Why do you post Alex Jones? He never said those things.
Cooper James
has anyone else been brain washed by "Alex Jones is Bill Hicks" threads?
seriously whenever I see a picture of Bill Hicks, I think Alex Jones
Asher Richardson
I am not a huge fan of Carlin because he sounds too angry in his "anti establishment" era of stand-up. But I can appreciate his appeal. My mother splits herself laughing at his clips. I don't think Ive ever seen her laugh harder.
Benjamin Gray
I watched his Sane Man special on Netflix last night. Didn't laugh once. I knew he was an unfunny hack but it was worse than I realized. Then I watched Denis Leary's No Cure for Cancer. People say he ripped off Hicks act. He definitely ripped off some of the material but his delivery seemed based more on Kinison than Hicks. Either way, he performed it better than Hicks ever could which is why he became successful and Hicks died a bitter, broken man.
John Foster
He's an overrated cunt who made good points that were not jokes.
Carson Turner
Are you honestly trying to defend joke stealing? Also literal word for word joke theft at that?
Xavier Sanchez
Good artists imitate. Great artists steal.
Matthew Foster
No I'm not defending it, I'm just saying Leary had a better stage performance and Hicks came off as an unfunny sanctimonious prick and it's no surprise his career tanked because if you're not funny or likable who the fuck is going to pay to see you.

Don't give me that Picasso shit
Takes way more skill to paint a painting than to literally just memorize someone else's material
Brandon Bennett
There's no such thing as an original idea. If someone makes a shitty painting and you take their subject matter and turn it into something great, you've put more effort into it than the other guy and deserve to be rewarded.
Adam Miller
>user completely misses the point of that quote
Carson Murphy
uh no i didn't
Isaac Gomez
Uh yeah you did, Picasso wasn't saying be a plagiarist. He was saying that good artists simply "imitate" their heroes and idols ideas, while GREAT artists "steal" them and make them their own. Not literally plagiarize, but take ownership of an idea in their own way. Get it now?
Cameron Lewis
uh no sweetie sorry that's wrong
Colton Nguyen
His problem was that he was smarter than everyone else which sank him into depression.
Owen Reed
literally me
Henry Hernandez
Right, because Picasso was a renowned plagiarist and you totally know what he meant. Oh wait, he was praised for being original and doing his own thing and he obviously didn't mean to be a petty thief of others work? And art deals with multiple layers of meaning and he obviously didn't mean literally steal, as evidenced by his own work? Ah, I see. Glad we cleared that up.
Brandon Anderson
No, his problem was he thought he was smarter than everyone else, acted like a smug douche, stopped getting gigs and then sank into a depression of his own ego-driven creation.
Jeremiah Barnes
wow user, i'm glad you're here to tell me exactly what Picasso was thinking at that specific point in time. you're so wise, so intelligent. your shining wisdom is truly wasted on the unwashed masses on Sup Forums.
Isaiah Robinson
He's just not funny.
Ian Barnes
>user mad he didn't get a quote and he thinks me assigning the obvious meaning to the quote that he didn't pick up on allows him to insinuate that I think I'm smarter than everyone else when the reality is he just didn't get the quote
Please user, if Picasso was advocating plagiarism, point me to some of his famous plagiarized works?
Liam Peterson
"Great" in this case obviously meaning "commercially successful". This is how America thinks - if a guy is richer than you, you'd let him rape your wife. Hicks was shit, but Leary was a plagiarist.
Alexander Diaz
I'm not that guy but just accept that you didn't understand the quote. being a sarcastic bitch isn't making you look any better.
Dominic Edwards
fuck off this is between me and the other guy it'd be easier to list the works that he didn't plagiarize
William Howard

how about you list some, since you're such a paragon of logic and reason.

For the unaware, Alex Jones is the agreement the CIA and Bill came to where Bill got to do the best comedy routine ever while being CIA deep cover op to spread disinfo.

I didn't tell him to give up but I told you to give up.

Picasso painting harlequins because someone else also painted harlequins is the same as ripping off someone else's material word for word for almost half their set
Asher James
Whatever, Mr. "Make a claim and then provide no solid evidence to back that claim".
Caleb Morales
But user, Picasso told me to plagiarize! SeeI totally understood what he meant when I took what he said completely literally!
Wyatt Peterson
Fucking art plebs
I was one of the dude's arguing that stealing Hick's jokes was a b ad thing but watch this
What are you talking about? I made the claim that Picasso wasn't advocating plagiarism, as evidenced by his lack of plagiarism in his artwork. I asked user to list some work of his that was plagiarized to justify his belief that Picasso meant literally "steal other people's work" and he (or you if I'm still talking to the same user) still has yet to do it, continually evading the thing asked.
Adrian Adams
Painting the same subject matter = Two different comedians making jokes about similar subject matter
Painting an exact copy of someone else's painting composition = Saying another comedian's joke word for word
Picasso never stole someone else's painting image for image, composition for composition. That would be fucking stupid unless he did it for a practice study.
Jackson Hughes
You're evading RIGHT NOW. The hypocrisy of this board, god damn.
Grayson Perry
>Using a floral background >Plagiarism nice try
David Mitchell
What am I evading?
Which illustrates my exact fucking point, Picasso wasn't advocating plagiarism.
Elijah Reed
Evading so hard you don't even know WHAT you're evading. Wow, man.
Gavin Hernandez
Ok everyone the user was trying to say Denis told Hick's jokes and getting laughs was technically good for the audience because they laughed.
Plagiarizing the jokes was still morally wrong.
Stand-up is like a play but you get the credit for being the writer too. You have to own up to being both the actor AND the writer. You get the benefits of both AND the consequences
Denis was a good actor. He did McBeth(hypothetically/metaphorically) BUT he has to also own up to the plagiarism of acting like they were his jokes. (E.g. claiming that he wrote McBeth for example).
A director who acted in a McBeth play would be in the wrong for claiming he wrote the McBeth story. The director wouldnt do that.
