Other comedians i like are mostly alive. To be fair Hicks isn't THAT well known in the UK. Other than him and Richard Prior and Maybe Ronnie Barker or Les Dawson. Sorry I'm mainstream ;)

Phil Hartman, and thanks to his crazy wife I'll never get to hear his cynical views on the world again...except in repeats.

Mitch Hedberg:

"I saw a wino eating grapes, and I said 'dude, you have to wait.'"

Richard Pryor:

"You go to the courts lookin' for justice, and that's what you'll find: just us."

Bill Hicks (on people wearing crosses):

"Do you think that when Jesus comes back to Earth that he ever wants to SEE another fuckin' cross? That's like goin' up to Jackie Onassis wearing a RIFLE pendant! 'Just thinkin' of John, man, just thinkin' of John.'"

:D

"An escalator can never break; it can only become stairs. You would never see an 'Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order' sign, just 'Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.'"

"I was in a casino, minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, 'You're gonna have to move. You're blocking a fire exit.' As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. Unless you're a table."

I try to avoid Youtube these days, as it always makes my browser crash. Sorry to have posted out-of-format.

You're the first to post IN format other than me. :p
