Bill Hicks On Easter [VIDEO]

I hope you're ready for Easter! Are you stocked up on chocolate bunnies, jelly beans and eggs?  It's kind of a weird combo when you think about it, isn't it? This is the premise of one of the best Bill Hicks bits ever.

For those of you not aware of Bill, he was a "comic's comic" out of Houston Texas who has actually influenced generations of comedians with his sharp insights and often controversial views. The band Tool were big Bill Hicks fans and even feature his picture inside on of their albums. Bill also opened for Tool at Lollapalooza.  I once contemplated having a tattoo of Bill in skeleton form on my leg, but changed to Captain Rowdy after contemplating Bill's one big downfall-his mullet.

This Sunday is Easter. It is a strange celebration at best.  Hicks points out some of the strangeness in this classic bit. *CAUTION-BAD LANGUAGE & SUBVERSIVE THOUGHTS AHEAD!*

If you enjoyed that bit, check out this clip of Bill Hick's final Letterman performance, which was actually yanked at the last minute and not released until many years later.
