If you don't think he's funny, why did you watch this?


And then come to this page? Are you a masochist? Why would you watch a documentary about someone you don't like and then bitch that they aren't funny? Is this idiocy or psychosis? I'm genuinely curious. I've read several commenters saying they don't think he was "funny", you do understand that that is subjective, but that other people than you finding him funny means you're wrong? Not funny to YOU means absolutely NOTHING to the millions of people who disagree with you. You bring nothing to the table. Why are you here?

And even if you already knew you didn't like his comedy, but just wanted to see a movie about his life, why would you then come here to piss on him? You already don't like him, why do you feel it necessary to try to be hurtful about a good man who lead his own life, harmed no one and tried to spread a message of love? You are disgusting human beings.

I believe Bill Hicks was funny. however he didn't follow the typical stand up comedy : "set up, punchline, tagline" style.
If you know Doug Stanhope then you know that he's Bill Hicks with a more "stand up-like" routine.
