Frases de Bill Hicks

William Melvin "Bill" Hicks foi um comediante, crítico social, e músico norte-americano. Seu material, que abrange uma ampla gama de questões sociais, incluindo a religião, política e filosofia, foi controverso, e muitas vezes mergulhada na comédia de humor negro. Ele criticava o consumismo, a superficialidade, a mediocridade e banalidade dentro dos meios de comunicação e cultura popular, que ele caracterizou como instrumentos de opressão da classe dominante que mantem as pessoas "estúpidas e apáticas".

Aos 16 anos, enquanto ainda estava no colegial, ele começou a se apresentar no Comedy Workshop em Houston, Texas. Durante a década de 1980, ele viajou extensivamente pelos Estados Unidos e fez uma série de aparições de alto-nível na televisão. Mas foi no Reino Unido que ele acumulou uma base significativa de fãs, enchendo grandes locais durante sua turnê de 1991.Ele também atingiu um mínimo de reconhecimento como guitarrista e compositor.

Hicks morreu de câncer pancreático em 26 de Fevereiro de 1994, em Little Rock, Arkansas, com apenas 32 anos de idade. Nos anos seguintes - em particular depois de uma série de lançamentos de álbuns póstumos - sua obra ganhou um grau significativo de elogios nos círculos criativos. Alguns comediantes que citaram Hicks como influência incluem Margaret Cho, Joe Rogan, Lewis Black,Patton Oswalt, David Crosse Russell Brand Wikipedia

Bill Hicks: Frases em inglês

“HITLER HAD THE RIGHT IDEA! HE WAS JUST AN UNDERACHIEVER!”

I'm Sorry Folks (1989)
Contexto: [Someone in the crowd yells "Freebird"] Please quit yelling that. It's not funny, it's not clever; it's stupid, it's repetitive, why the fuck would you continue to yell that? I'm serious. [The same man yells something back] "Kevin Matthews"; okay, what does that mean, now? Now, what does it mean? I understand where it comes from, so do you. Now, what does it all mean? What is the culmination of yelling that? [The same man yells back again] Jimmy Shorts: he's not here, he's not gonna be here. Now what? Now where are we? We're here at you interrupting me again, you fucking idiot. That's you. You see, we are here at the same point again where you, the fucking peon masses, can once again ruin anyone who tries to do anything because you don't know how to do it on your own! That's where we're fucking at! Once again the useless wastes of fucking flesh that has ruined everything good in this goddamn world! That's where we're at! HITLER HAD THE RIGHT IDEA! HE WAS JUST AN UNDERACHIEVER! KILL 'EM ALL, ADOLF! ALL OF 'EM! JEW, MEXICAN, AMERICAN, WHITE, KILL 'EM ALL! START OVER! THE EXPERIMENT DIDN'T WORK! Rain 40 days, please fucking rain to wash these turds off my fucking life! Wash these human wastes of flesh and bones off this planet! I pray to you, God, to kill these fucking people! [Someone yells out "Freebird" once more] Freebird. [Falls back] And in the beginning there was the word, Freebird. And Freebird would be yelled throughout the centuries. Freebird, the mantra of the moron.

“Freebird, the mantra of the moron.”
