Bill Hicks Revelations

en
00:00:14 Live at the London Dominion Theatre
00:00:15 "Revelations"
00:00:39 On December 16, 1961, the world turned upside down and inside out,
00:00:46 and I was born screaming, in America.
00:00:50 It was the tale end of the American Dream,
00:00:53 just before we lost our innocence irrevocably,
00:00:56 and the TV eye brought the horror of our lives into out homes
00:01:00 for all to see.
00:01:07 I was told when I grew up, I could be anything I wanted.
00:01:10 A fireman, a policeman, a doctor. Even President, it seemed.
00:01:14 And for the first time in the history of mankind,
00:01:17 something new, called an astronaut.
00:01:21 But like many kids growing up on a steady diet of Westerns,
00:01:24 I always wanted to be the cowboy hero.
00:01:27 That lone voice in the wilderness,
00:01:29 fighting corruption and evil wherever I found it,
00:01:32 and standing for freedom, truth and justice.
00:01:36 And in my heart of hearts, I still track the remnants of that dream,
00:01:40 wherever I go,
00:02:36 You're in the right place. It's Bill.
00:02:42 I'm living out in Los Angeles now so,
00:02:46 you know, for the weather.
00:02:51 You guys have weather. Cool...
00:02:54 Los Angeles, every day, hot and sunny,
00:02:56 today, hot and sunny,
00:02:59 ...hot and sunny, every single day, hot and sunny.
00:03:03 And they love it.
00:03:05 "Isn't it great, every day, hot and sunny?"
00:03:08 What are you, a fucking lizard?
00:03:12 Only reptiles feel that way
00:03:16 I'm a mammal,
00:03:19 cappuccino and rosy-cheeked women.
00:03:22 LA is the home of the pedestrian right-of-way law.
00:03:25 What this law is,
00:03:29 anywhere or any time
00:03:31 on the road, every car has to stop
00:03:38 Yes, 'cause only in LA does common courtesy
00:03:45 Every car has to stop. Pretty ludicrous in light of the city we're in now, right?
00:03:50 If someone steps in front of your car here, you speed up and turn your wipers on, you know.
00:03:57 "Bad call brother."
00:04:02 "Must've had a bad day. I don't know."
00:04:06 Stupid law...
00:04:07 How many of you all wondered, like I did, during the LA riots,
00:04:10 when those people were being pulled out of their trucks
00:04:12 and beaten half to death - how many of you all wondered, like I did...?
00:04:17 Step on the fucking gas, man!
00:04:29 They're on foot, you're in a truck...
00:04:34 ...I think I see a way out of this!
00:04:39 That pedestrian right-of-way law...
00:04:47 People are driving home,
00:04:51 Molotov cocktails, clubs in hand,
00:05:03 I guarantee you that Reginald Denny, that truck driver...
00:05:07 Never gonna stop again as long as he lives.
00:05:11 Could be an old woman
00:05:25 "Not today, baby."
00:05:27 Not a time to quit smoking, kids
00:05:32 But I fucking did it.
00:05:36 And yes, I miss' em...
00:05:39 It is hard to quit smoking.
00:05:42 Everyone of them looks real good to me, right now.
00:05:46 Every cigarette looks like it was
00:05:51 and moistened shut
00:06:12 "Golly, that looks tasty"
00:06:20 Every time I'm here something weird happens,
00:06:29 People ask me where I stood politically, you know.
00:06:32 It's not that I disagree with Bush's
00:06:36 Is that I believe he was a child of Satan
00:06:41 Yeah, I'm a little... a little to the left there, I was.
00:06:50 Yeah, you know who else is gone?
00:06:58 Is that guy Damien?
00:07:02 aren't gonna glow red
00:07:05 "Stop making jokes about meee..."
00:07:13 "I'll spell potato any fucking way I want."
00:07:23 "Rioters in LA, let's nuke them."
00:07:26 "Bush was a pussy."
00:07:30 "He held me back."
00:07:38 Frightening people, man.
00:07:42 Bush tried to buy votes
00:07:46 Goes around, you know,
00:07:49 getting that military industrial
00:07:52 Sold 160 fighter jets to Korea
00:07:58 and then goes around making speeches
00:08:02 because, "We still live in a dangerous world."
00:08:08 Thanks to you, you fucker!
00:08:11 What are you doing?!
00:08:19 Quit arming the fucking world, man.
00:08:23 You know we armed Iraq.
00:08:27 During the Persian Gulf war
00:08:30 "Iraq: incredible weapons,
00:08:32 How do you know that?
00:08:36 "Uh, well...
00:08:42 ...we looked at the receipt."
00:08:48 "Ah, but as soon as that cheque clears, we're going in."
00:08:53 "What time's the bank open? Eight?
00:08:58 "We're going in for God
00:09:01 and here's a foetus and he's a Hitler.
00:09:03 Whatever you fucking need, let's go.
00:09:11 Oh-oh, looks like Mr. Major
00:09:17 Little Iraqgate,
00:09:20 "Did we send, did...I don't...did...?"
00:09:33 "I'll have to check Maggie's old calendar."
00:09:40 What's funny about this,
00:09:43 that you guys sold Iraq "machine tools"...
00:09:51 which Iraq then converted...
00:10:01 I have news for you folks,
00:10:05 Your Orwellian language notwithstanding,
00:10:12 Our papers in the States have the same thing.
00:10:14 We sold Iraq "farming equipment",
00:10:21 which Iraq then "converted"...
00:10:25 How do they do this?
00:10:34 Wow! It was a chicken coop,
00:10:41 "This war's for Aladdin."
00:10:46 Farming equipment which they converted into military,
00:10:50 okay, you got me, I'm curious,
00:10:55 "Oh! okay, well it's stuff
00:11:02 Yeah?
00:11:06 What?
00:11:08 "Ooh...okay...uhh...well... Oh, one of the
00:11:14 it was new thing we came up with,
00:11:19 flame-throwing rake."
00:11:22 "No, it was for the farmer, see, he would
00:11:31 "But you know what
00:11:40 There's no trees in Iraq, what are you sending them rakes for, you asshole?
00:11:45 "We could have done our research better, perhaps, yes."
00:11:49 What else did you sell 'em?
00:11:50 "Okay, uhh...one of the other things we gave 'em
00:11:57 "The, uhh...armored tractor."
00:12:01 "No, farmers when they farm, will look over their shoulders, at times, and they won't see a tree
00:12:08 and they'll hit it, maybe, and there'll be a wasp nest in the tree, and the wasps will come 'n sting 'em."
00:12:17 "So we put four inches of armour
00:12:20 And a turret to shoot pesticide on the wasps."
00:12:24 "Yeah, but you know what
00:12:29 "Can't trust 'em."
00:12:35 I'm so sick of arming the world and then
00:12:40 You know what I mean?
00:12:41 We keep arming these little countries
00:12:45 We're like the bullies of the world, you know?
00:12:47 We're like Jack Palance
00:12:51 Throwing the pistol
00:12:54 "Pick it up."
00:13:01 "I don't wanna pick it up, mister,
00:13:08 "Pick up the gun".
00:13:14 "Mister, I don't want no trouble,
00:13:16 I just came down town here to get some hard rock candy for my kids, some gingham for my wife."
00:13:23 "I don't even know what gingham is, but she goes through about 10 rolls a week of that stuff."
00:13:30 " I ain't looking for no trouble mister."
00:13:34 "Pick up the gun."
00:13:56 "You all saw him. He had a gun."
00:14:05 Kennedy, I love talking about the Kennedy assassination
00:14:09 because to me it's a great example of,
00:14:14 to, you know, manage information and thus
00:14:21 Oh sorry wrong meeting... Ah, shit.
00:14:24 That's the meeting we're having tomorrow
00:14:32 I love talking about Kennedy.
00:14:35 You know you can go down there and, uh, to Dealey Plaza where Kennedy was assassinated.
00:14:40 And you can actually go to the sixth floor of
00:14:47 ..."The Assassination Museum".
00:14:50 I think they named that
00:14:54 I can't be too sure of
00:14:58 Anyway, they have the window set up
00:15:03 And it's really accurate, you know,
00:15:15 Painstaking accuracy, you know.
00:15:20 It's true, it's called the 'Sniper's Nest'.
00:15:22 It's glassed in, it's got the boxes sitting there.
00:15:24 You can't actually get to the window itself
00:15:29 they didn't want thousands of american
00:15:37 "No fucking way!
00:15:43 "Shit, they're lying to us!
00:15:48 "Where are they?"
00:15:52 "There's no fucking way."
00:15:54 Not unless Oswald was hanging by his toes, upside down from the ledge.
00:16:02 Either that, or some pigeons grabbed onto him, flew him over the motorcade...
00:16:09 Surely someone would have seen that.
00:16:12 You know, there were rumours
00:16:18 Someone overhead them saying:
00:16:28 Unbelievable. And you know what's wild?
00:16:31 People's attitudes in the States about it.
00:16:33 Talking about Kennedy, people come up to me:
00:16:35 "Bill, quit talking about Kennedy, man. Let it go."
00:16:38 "It's a long time ago - just forget about it."
00:16:43 I'm like, alright,
00:16:54 As long as we're talking shelf life here.
00:17:00 "Bill, you know Jesus died for you" - Yeah, well it was a long time ago. Forget about it!
00:17:05 How about this? Get Pilate to release the fucking files.
00:17:10 Quit washing your hands,
00:17:14 Who else was on that grassy Golgotha that day?
00:17:21 "Bill, it was just, you know...
00:17:27 ...taking over of democracy by a totalitarian government, let it go."
00:17:38 That's another good thing
00:17:40 'cause for the last 12 years with Reagan and Bush,
00:17:43 we have had fundamentalist Christians
00:17:46 Fundamentalist Christians who believe
00:17:52 including that wacky fire
00:17:58 have had their finger on the
00:18:01 "Tell me when Lord, tell me when.
00:18:10 Fundamentalist Christianity - fascinating!
00:18:13 These people actually believe that the bi.., uh,
00:18:19 Swear to God!
00:18:23 "Well we looked at all the people in the Bible
00:18:26 and we added 'em up all the way back to Adam and Eve,
00:18:32 Well how fucking scientific, okay. I didn't know
00:18:43 - You believe the world's 12 thousand years old?
00:18:47 - Okay I got one word to ask you, a one word question, ready?
00:18:51 - Dinosaur.
00:18:55 You know the world's 12 thousand years old
00:18:58 and they existed in that time, you'd think it would
00:19:03 "And O, Jesus and the disciples walked to Nazareth.
00:19:07 But the trail was blocked by a giant brontosaurus...
00:19:12 with a splinter in his paw.
00:19:16 And O the disciples did run a shriekin':
00:19:25 "But Jesus was unafraid and he took the splinter from the brontosaurus's paw
00:19:30 and the big lizard became his friend."
00:19:33 "And Jesus sent him to Scotland
00:19:39 inviting thousands of american tourists
00:19:44 and their fat dollar bills.
00:19:50 "Thank you Lord, thank you Lord. Thank you Lord."
00:19:59 Get this, I actually asked one of these guys:
00:20:02 Okay, dinosaur fossils - how does that fit into you scheme of life?
00:20:07 Let me sit down and strap in.
00:20:15 He said, "Dinosaur fossils?
00:20:26 Thank God I'm strapped in, right now, here, man.
00:20:30 I think God put you here to test my faith, dude.
00:20:35 - You believe that?
00:20:38 Does that trouble anyone here?
00:20:40 The idea that God...
00:20:46 I have trouble sleeping with that knowledge.
00:20:56 "We will see who believes in me now.
00:21:02 "I am killing Me."
00:21:06 You know, You die and go to St. Peter:
00:21:08 "- Did you believe in dinosaurs?
00:21:14 "You fuckin' idiot. Flying lizards, you're a moron!
00:21:21 "It seemed so plausible, ahhhh!"
00:21:25 "Enjoy the lake of fire, fucker!"
00:21:34 You ever noticed how people who
00:21:41 Ya ever noticed that? Eyes real close together,
00:21:47 "I believe God created me in one day"
00:21:56 Yeah, looks liked He rushed it.
00:22:06 They believe the bible is the exact word of God
00:22:09 Then they change the bible!
00:22:14 "I think what God meant to say..."
00:22:21 I have never been that confident.
00:22:26 Next we have a bible out called 'The New Living Bible', it's the bible in updated and modern English.
00:22:32 I guess to make it more palatable for people to read.
00:22:34 But its really weird, when you listen to it.
00:22:36 "And Jesus walked on water.
00:22:49 Suddenly we got Jesus hanging ten across the Sea of Galilee. Christ's Bogus Adventure, ya'know.
00:22:58 Deuteronomio 90210, ya'know..
00:23:07 Such a weird belief. Lot of Christians
00:23:10 You think when Jesus comes back
00:23:18 Maybe why he hasn't shown up yet.
00:23:21 "Man, they're still wearing crosses. Fuck it,
00:23:28 "When they start wearing fishes
00:23:32 "But... let me bury fossil heads with you Dad"
00:23:34 "Fuck'em - let's fuck with them!"
00:23:36 "They're fuckin' with me now, lets get'em."
00:23:38 "Give me that brontosaurus head, Dad."
00:23:43 You know, kinda like going up to Jackie
00:23:48 "Thinkin' of John, Jackie. We love him.
00:23:53 Just tryin' to keep that memory alive, baby."
00:24:06 Back and to the left, back and to the left,
00:24:11 back and to the left, back and to the left.
00:24:19 Which, by the way, that action you see
00:24:24 caused by a bullet - comin from up there.
00:24:31 Yes, I know it looks to the layman
00:24:38 This action here would be caused
00:24:53 Up here, did you see that?
00:24:59 What happened was Oswald's gun went off,
00:25:04 through the buildings of Dealey Plaza
00:25:10 up into the grassy knoll hitting
00:25:14 which 56 witnesses testified was a gun shot,
00:25:19 'cause immediately... Kennedy's head went over.
00:25:22 But the reason his head went over
00:25:24 is 'cause the echo went by the motorcade
00:25:30 "So there, we have figured out,
00:25:33 go back to bed America, your government
00:25:37 "Go back to bed America,
00:25:40 Here, here's American Gladiators.
00:25:46 "Go back to bed America"
00:25:48 "Here's American Gladiators. Here's 56 channels of it."
00:25:52 "Watch these pituitary retards
00:25:56 and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom."
00:25:59 "Here you go America, you are free, to do as we tell you!
00:26:03 You are free, to do as we tell you!"
00:26:06 "Oh good. Honey, I heard on the news
00:26:10 what happened is, is that there was an echo
00:26:16 and that that's why his head flew..."
00:26:18 "Honey what time's Gladiators on? Are we missing it?"
00:26:22 "I'm so glad we're free, honey."
00:26:26 This happen just a few weeks ago. All these articles in the paper:
00:26:29 "Is Gladiators too violent? And what are we doing watching it?
00:26:31 Is it really good for us to watch?
00:26:34 NO! Fuck it! Give these guys chain saws!
00:26:38 Let them fuck each other up good.
00:26:41 Let these fuckin' morons kill each other in that God Damn pit!
00:26:46 Give them chainsaws an...
00:26:47 I want to see a fuckin railway
00:26:51 How about this? Give everyone in the audience a pistol.
00:26:53 "There, you fuckers...
00:26:56 See who comes out alive!"
00:26:59 You know, I'm tired of this false fuckin sanctimonious morality about life.
00:27:04 "Ain't life keen"
00:27:06 "Let's pat ourselves on the back."
00:27:09 They want to kill each other, I'm filming it.
00:27:15 I had a great idea for the movies. No one wants to fucking hear it, I don't know why?
00:27:20 I was watching Terminator 2 and I'm thinking to myself, these are the most amazing stunts I have ever seen.
00:27:28 A hundred million dollars it cost to make this film.
00:27:30 How are they ever gonna top these stunts in a movie again? There's no way.
00:27:36 Unless...
00:27:39 ...they start using terminally ill people...
00:27:49 Hear me out...
00:27:54 ...as stuntmen in pictures.
00:28:02 Okay, not the most popular idea ever,
00:28:09 What, you know, some of will probably
00:28:12 "Ooh it's cruel, terminally ill stunt people, Bill...
00:28:20 You know what I think what cruel is?
00:28:22 Leaving your loved ones to die in some
00:28:27 Fuck that! Put 'em in the movies!
00:28:37 Whaaat? Do you want your grandmother dying
00:28:44 Her translucent skin so thin you can see her
00:28:48 last heartbeat work its way down her blue veins...
00:28:56 Or you want her to meet Chuck Norris?
00:29:03 Why be so selfish as to deprive her of that thrill?
00:29:09 "Tom how come you dressed my grandmother up as a mugger?"
00:29:14 "Shut up and get off the set. Action!
00:29:38 "Wow he kicked her head right off her body!
00:29:48 She's out of her misery. I just saw the
00:29:56 Okay not the most popular idea ever.
00:29:59 All I'm saying is people are dying every day,
00:30:01 and movies are getting more and more boring.
00:30:08 I am the weaver.
00:30:19 "Is American Gladiators too violent?
00:30:25 Watch the fucking news man,
00:30:30 You watch the news these days you know,
00:30:32 You think you just walk out your door,
00:30:34 you're immediately going to be raped by some
00:30:42 Horrible news stories, you know.
00:30:44 "Honey, I'm gonna check the mail...
00:30:55 Whaddya we stay inside tonight baby?
00:30:58 Lets the pizza delivery guy deal with that shit out there."
00:31:03 "Hello, pizza delivery, could you
00:31:07 I know that's your third one,
00:31:11 I can almost reach the pizza box with the broom handle."
00:31:20 How come those pit bulls are eating your driver
00:31:27 What do they know that we don't know, hellooo?"
00:31:31 Pretty soon we're all gonna be locked inside our homes
00:31:33 with no one on the street but pizza
00:31:37 with turrets shooting pizzas through
00:31:42 Every house will glow with American Gladiators beamed in.
00:31:46 "We are free - keep repeating - we are free!"
00:31:56 The news is just apocalyptic.
00:31:57 Didn't you think with the Cold War being over,
00:32:00 How many of y'all were as stupid
00:32:03 Wow, it's over - 40 years of threat of nuclear weapons -
00:32:09 Now 12 different countries have nuclear weapons.
00:32:14 Life is harder now. Work hard!
00:32:25 By the way if anyone here is in
00:32:32 No, no, no it's just a little thought.
00:32:37 Maybe one day, they'll take root - I don't know.
00:32:47 Seriously though, if you are, do.
00:32:50 No really, there's no rationalisation for
00:32:56 Okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner
00:33:01 You're going, "there's going to be a joke coming,"
00:33:05 You are Satan's spawn
00:33:09 You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourself.
00:33:19 Planting seeds. I know all the marketing people are going,
00:33:25 Suck a tail-pipe, fucking hang yourself,
00:33:30 I don't care how you do it. Rid the world
00:33:37 Whatever, you know what I mean.
00:33:40 I know what all the marketing people are thinking
00:33:44 He's going for that anti-marketing dollar.
00:33:51 Oh man, I am not doing that.
00:33:57 "Ooh, you know what Bill's doing now, he's going for
00:34:03 A lot of people are feeling that indignation.
00:34:06 He's doing a good thing."
00:34:08 Godammit, I'm not doing that, you scum-bags!
00:34:11 Quit putting a godamm dollar sign
00:34:16 "Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession.
00:34:24 God, I'm just caught in a fucking web.
00:34:28 "Ooh the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar.
00:34:32 We see that many people feel trapped.
00:34:34 If we play to that and then separate
00:34:38 How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep
00:34:42 "What you did tonight honey?" - "Oh, we made...ah... we made...ah...arsenic a childhood food now, goodnight."
00:34:52 "Yeah, we just said, you know: «is
00:34:57 Yeah... the mums will love it."
00:35:01 Sleep like fucking children, don't ya,
00:35:04 But, you know, I saw this movie this year
00:35:10 Okay now. Bill's quick capsule review:
00:35:13 Piece-of-Shit.
00:35:15 Okay now. Yeah, yeah, end of story by the way.
00:35:21 Don't get caught up in that fevered hype phoney
00:35:27 "Is it too sexist, and what about
00:35:31 You're, you're just confused, you don't get,
00:35:35 Take a deep breath huuh, look at it again.
00:35:38 "Oh it's a Piece-of-Shit!"
00:35:40 Exactly, that's all it is.
00:35:45 they put a fucking title on it, put it on a marquee,
00:35:51 "But is it too...?
00:35:55 You're, you're getting really baffled here. Piece-of-Shit!
00:36:04 Free yourself folks, if you see it,
00:36:08 You're right! You're right!
00:36:11 Not those fuckers who want to tell you
00:36:19 Sorry, wrong meeting again.
00:36:23 I keep getting my days mixed up.
00:36:28 Tonight it's comedy entertainment with young Bill.
00:36:37 Horrible film...
00:36:40 And then I come to find out after that film,
00:36:45 let me repeat that, all...
00:36:53 ...all the lesbian sex scenes were cut out of that film,
00:36:58 because the test audience was turned off by them.
00:37:09 Boy, is my thumb not on the pulse of America.
00:37:17 I don't want to seem like Randy Pan, the Goat Boy,
00:37:23 but...uh...that was the only reason
00:37:31 If I had been in that test audience,
00:37:34 the only one out front, protesting that film, would have been
00:37:40 "I swear I was in that movie. I swear I was."
00:37:47 "Gee Mike, the movie started.
00:37:49 Sharon Stone was eating another woman
00:37:56 Then the credits rolled.
00:37:58 I...uh...I don't remember seeing
00:38:06 "Was Bill Hicks in that test audience?"
00:38:12 Goat boy called it like he saw it Mikey.
00:38:15 You made your 14 mill, now hit the fucking road.
00:38:19 Goat boy has invited some people over
00:38:24 ...of the Goat-Boy Edited Version.
00:38:29 I am Goat boy.
00:38:33 "What do you want, Goat Boy?
00:38:41 Goat Boy is here to please you.
00:38:47 "How?"
00:38:52 Tie me to your headboard,
00:38:57 and let me wear you like a feed-bag
00:39:17 Hold onto my horns.
00:39:24 "Goat-Booooy!"
00:39:27 Yes, my love?
00:39:31 "You're a big old smelly thing."
00:39:40 I need professional help at this point
00:39:45 I think I need a priest at this point.
00:39:48 - "Forgive me Father for I have sinned."
00:39:51 - Well, I said the word 'fuck' gratuitously.
00:40:01 - I lied.
00:40:04 - That's about all, oh, oh, one thing,
00:40:06 I keep thinking I'm a randy goat,
00:40:14 Unless of course it's a woman priest,
00:40:16 in which case it'll go like this:
00:40:26 People ask me what I think about
00:40:29 What, a woman priest?
00:40:33 Now there's priests of both sexes I don't listen to.
00:40:38 Have a hermaphrodite one.
00:40:40 Have one with three dicks and eight titties.
00:40:42 I don't , I don't...
00:40:45 Have one with gills and a trunk.
00:40:50 I might go see that, you know, but...
00:40:53 You know, I appreciate your quaint traditions and superstitions.
00:40:57 I on the other hand am an evolved being
00:41:02 which exists in all of our hearts.
00:41:05 That middle man thing, it's wacky and I appreciate it...
00:41:08 Gotta run, there's a voice callin' me.
00:41:17 Now you guys are totally weird sexually. Here's why.
00:41:21 Oh yeah, coming from Goat Boy, oh boy.
00:41:24 "Yes Bill, and how is that?"
00:41:30 "That we have human sex? Does that bother you Bill?"
00:41:36 "Goat Boy finds that disgusting. Where is the fun in that?"
00:41:44 Goat Boy loves young girls.
00:41:51 "Hi Goat Boy you big old smelly thing.
00:41:56 Ooh you smell like an old boot.
00:42:02 - I don't see you running away.
00:42:09 Besides, your eyes are really kind and peaceful."
00:42:14 Except for that fire that burns real far deep inside of 'em."
00:42:23 "Oh Goat Boy, what's that?"
00:42:25 "That is my purple wand, and my hairy sack of magic."
00:42:43 "You do tricks?"
00:42:50 "What can you do with that?"
00:42:53 "Goat Boy can make a bell ring in your stomach"
00:43:02 "What does that bell mean?"
00:43:04 - It calls Goat Boy to dinner.
00:43:11 "Okay Bill, stop with the Goat boy thing, we get it alright."
00:43:16 "It's kinda amusing but let's... okay."
00:43:20 You don't like Goat boy?
00:43:24 Goat boy is hurt by your indifference.
00:43:27 He wanted you to come dance with him in the pastures.
00:43:33 Goat Boy wants to string flowers through
00:43:43 - "Why do you like young girls Goat Boy?
00:43:49 There's nothing between your legs,
00:43:51 it's like a wisp of cotton candy framing a paper cut.
00:44:01 And turn you around and open your cheeks,
00:44:12 Oh how cute!
00:44:14 I bet your asshole tastes better than
00:44:20 Goat Boooy...!"
00:44:25 "Shaggy old thing. I'm not going to kiss you,
00:44:31 Do you want me to tell you?
00:44:37 "Okay Bill, seriously, the Goat Boy thing,
00:44:44 Except for some of my goat children.
00:44:47 "Mooore, Faaather, mooore, more Goat Boy, Faather."
00:44:50 "We are your goat children. We too lay in
00:45:00 But you guys are weird, get this:
00:45:02 I'm walking down through the West End
00:45:05 from Iowa gets off the bus. Big cow people, right?
00:45:08 Bump into me and I go flying into this adult bookstore.
00:45:20 And my hands were in my pockets and I
00:45:25 and wafted down onto the cash register
00:45:29 How embarrassing. I go home immediately
00:45:33 Toward the garbage, it breaks open, face up on the bed.
00:45:38 Give me a break, Lord!
00:45:41 But I'm looking at your British hard-core pornography
00:45:44 which I just spent hard-core fucking dollars for.
00:45:47 And I'm going, "something's wrong with this."
00:45:55 I realise it's porno yeah just what we know and love,
00:45:59 but there's blue dots covering all the
00:46:05 There's a guy standing there like this.
00:46:13 There's a woman kneeling, well... I believe she was like this.
00:46:22 And there's this big blue dot right here.
00:46:26 What the fuck!
00:46:31 What you gotta buy the blue dot eraser separately,
00:46:36 I'm an adult. Don' t protect me. Let's go!
00:46:40 Goat Boy wants his money back.
00:46:46 And then I see a club in the West end that has
00:46:52 I thought what a bummer actually have
00:47:13 Alright
00:47:14 But what's weird is, that's your hard core porno,
00:47:16 then you go home, turn on Channel 4 late at night,
00:47:19 there's people fucking yeah they're right there.
00:47:21 No blue dot, just people fucking right
00:47:25 It's a foreign film, it's art all of a sudden. Hey,
00:47:28 put some subtitles in there. Here's your pussy, here, you got it.
00:47:31 Everyone happy? There you go, it's art, godammit.
00:47:36 Alright, I see. You pay, you get ripped
00:47:45 I am available for children's parties by the way.
00:47:51 "Mommy, I want Goat Boy to come play at our house."
00:48:01 But, you know...
00:48:08 Pot, right.
00:48:10 They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Liiiiieee!
00:48:17 When you're high, you can do
00:48:21 you just realize, it's not worth the fucking effort.
00:48:29 There is a difference.
00:48:33 Sure I can get up at dawn,
00:48:36 go to a job I hate, that does not inspire me creatively whatsoever,
00:48:42 for the rest of my fucking life.
00:48:47 Or I can wake up at noon...
00:48:52 ...and learn how to play the sitar!
00:49:06 Pretty simple when it's spelled out
00:49:14 Only thing I've ever heard about pot,
00:49:20 Good!
00:49:22 There's too many fucking people in the world.
00:49:29 Tired of this, "Hey aren't we the coolest. Humans are so neat."
00:49:34 Too many of you. Quit rutting, just for
00:49:44 Then go back to your rutting.
00:49:48 But I'll tell you this. Where's this idea that childbirth is a miracle came from?
00:49:54 I missed that fucking meeting, okay?
00:49:58 "It's a miracle, childbirth is a miracle."
00:50:00 No it's not. No more than a miracle than
00:50:07 It's a chemical reaction, that's all it fucking is.
00:50:13 Raisin' a kid that doesn't talk in a movie theatre.
00:50:19 It's not a miracle if every nine months
00:50:20 any yin yang in the world can drop a
00:50:25 And just in case you haven't seen
00:50:29 the miracle is spreading like wild-fire.
00:50:32 "Hallelujah!" Trailer parks and council flats
00:50:42 Like frogs laying eggs.
00:50:45 "Look at all my little miracles, thunk,
00:50:51 "You know what would be a real miracle,
00:50:57 "I guess I'll have to call you Lorry Driver Junior."
00:51:02 "That's all I remember about your daddy was
00:51:06 ...shooting his caffeine ridden semen into my belly"
00:51:09 "to produce my little water-headed miracle baby"
00:51:13 "There's your brother, Pizza Boy Delivery Junior."
00:51:17 Hallelujah!
00:51:23 Hold on for a minute, let's figure
00:51:29 I'm just weird, you know?
00:51:31 How about have a neat world for kids to come to?
00:51:35 Okay, it's me, fuck it!
00:51:37 Drop 'em like fucking flies, boom,
00:51:42 I just don't get it you know, I mean
00:51:45 just keep em away from me. Alright there, alright.
00:51:47 Now get this, I've been travelling all over the country on British Air.
00:51:50 No smoking on British Air. Now let me get this straight, no smoking, right, but they allow children.
00:51:57 Little fairness?
00:51:59 "Well smoking bothers me."
00:52:09 I was on this one flight right, I'm flying,
00:52:17 Very tired, right, and I feel this tapping on my head.
00:52:21 And I look up and there's this little kid...
00:52:26 ...loose! On the fucking plane, he's just loose.
00:52:33 It's his playground in the sky.
00:52:37 And he has decided that his job...
00:52:39 ...is to repetitively tap me on the top of the head.
00:52:53 I look across the aisle at his mom.
00:52:59 Guy next to the mom goes, "They're
00:53:04 Isn't that amazing, letting your
00:53:07 And then the kid runs over to the emergency exit
00:53:14 And the guy next to the mom starts
00:53:23 ...we're about to learn an important lesson right here."
00:53:31 "Why you're right, the smaller he gets, the cuter he is."
00:53:41 God, I wish I had a camera right now.
00:53:47 Like to get a picture of his face
00:53:49 when his pudgy little legs hit that farmhouse down there.
00:53:53 Aah, aah, kids....
00:53:58 Stewardess, since we got a breeze in here, can we smoke now?
00:54:03 Fairly well circulated at this point.
00:54:08 True story. But, you know...
00:54:17 Why is marijuana against the law?
00:54:21 Doesn't the idea of making nature against
00:54:27 You know what I mean?
00:54:28 It's nature. How do you make nature against the fucking law?
00:54:32 It grows everywhere, serves a thousand
00:54:37 To make marijuana against the law,
00:54:44 You know what I mean, it's like God on
00:54:46 "There it is, my creation, perfect and
00:55:01 "Oh my me."
00:55:07 "I left fucking pot everywhere."
00:55:13 "I should never have smoked that joint on the third day...
00:55:20 "That was the day I created possums.
00:55:30 "If I leave pot everywhere...
00:55:31 ...that's gonna give humans the impression
00:55:38 "Now I have to create Republicans."
00:55:44 And God wept. I believe is the next verse.
00:55:52 You know what I mean? I believe that God left
00:55:57 to help speed up and facilitate our evolution.
00:56:02 Okay, not the most popular idea ever expressed.
00:56:05 Either that or you're real high and agreeing with me
00:56:07 in the only way you can right now.
00:56:13 "I forgot the code, is it two blinks yes, one blink no?"
00:56:20 Do you think magic mushrooms growing atop cow shit was an accident?
00:56:26 Where do you think the phrase, "that's good shit" came from?
00:56:30 Why do you think Hindus
00:56:35 Holy shit!
00:56:38 Why do I think McDonalds is the Anti-Christ?
00:56:44 That's God little accelerator pad for our evolution.
00:56:48 Let's think about this, man. For billions of years
00:57:03 Probably too stupid to catch a cow, you know....
00:58:21 "I think we can go to the moon..."
00:58:47 That is exactly how it fucking happened.
00:58:53 Except for the marketing people whose belief is:
00:58:56 "No, it was proven that uh it might be
00:59:00 and a lot of people went up there,
00:59:06 Save your story of creation, please...
00:59:12 Not all drugs are good, now. Okay?
00:59:16 Some of em are great.
00:59:20 Just gotta know your way around'em, that's all.
00:59:26 Yeah, I've had good times on drugs.
00:59:30 I mean shit, look at this haircut.
00:59:35 There are dangers.
00:59:40 I think some of y'all have tripped
00:59:45 I used to love tripping, man. There's
00:59:48 who wants you to do something to enhance
00:59:53 "You're tripping? Oh duuude, you gotta play miniature golf."
01:00:05 Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking, man.
01:00:17 I'm just sitting over here watching the
01:00:22 ...get me to that fucking golf course.
01:00:28 I'm watching Jesus flying around on a
01:00:34 would be just the thing to make this trip peak.
01:00:44 So you guys can use your legs, huh?
01:00:50 No, it's just that I'm turning into a fish right now,
01:01:01 Thanks, I'm pretty fucking high right now.
01:01:09 You know. You just gotta be careful,
01:01:13 We got pulled over tripping on acid one night,
01:01:21 Cops don't appreciate
01:01:27 They frown on that.
01:01:33 Long night, man. Cops were tapping on this window.
01:01:48 "How tall are you?"
01:01:53 "A liddle cop, look at him!"
01:01:57 "How does he drive that big fucking car?"
01:02:02 "There could be thousands of them, shit!
01:02:09 "Let's put him in the jar."
01:02:16 Made perfect sense at that moment.
01:02:19 Put him in a jar, poke some holes in the lid,
01:02:24 "You'll never get us copper. Haha."
01:02:28 "We'll send some little firemen to let you out."
01:02:37 "Hey I bet they know where the miniature golf course is!"
01:02:44 "Boo! Haha.. Fuck it, they scared us."
01:02:53 "Son, you wanna stand up please?"
01:03:02 "I just found the driver."
01:03:05 "We don't need a driver, we're playing miniature golf."
01:03:13 True story. Now, later, when I was released...
01:03:19 ...I mean spiritually...I feel...
01:03:25 "- I need to see some ID.
01:03:31 "Put your hands against the car please."
01:03:35 "Which one?"
01:03:37 "The UFO, the unicorn or your cruiser?"
01:03:46 Drugs have done good things for us,
01:03:50 take all your albums, tapes and CDs
01:03:52 the musicians who made that great music that
01:03:57 ...rrreeeal fucking high.
01:04:04 And these other musicians today who don't
01:04:09 ...Boy, do they suck!
01:04:12 What a coincidence!
01:04:15 Ball-less, souless, spiritless corporate
01:04:20 each and every one of them.
01:04:31 "We're rock stars against drugs 'cause
01:04:36 Aw, suck Satan's cock!
01:04:39 That's what we want isn't it,
01:04:42 "Whooh, we're partying now!"
01:04:46 "We're rock stars who do Pepsi Cola commercials."
01:04:52 Suck Satan's cock. Put that big scaly pecker down your gullet.
01:04:58 Drink that black worm jizzum.
01:05:11 "Send in Vanilla Ice."
01:05:20 "Hello Vanilla."
01:05:29 "Says here on your application, you have
01:05:43 "I think something can be arranged."
01:05:49 "Whuh. Suck Satan's cock."
01:05:58 "I will lower the standards of the earth."
01:06:02 "I will put 56 channels of American Gladiators on every tv."
01:06:07 "I will put all the money in the hands of 14 year old girls."
01:06:10 "They will think you are charismatic, deep and edgy."
01:06:26 "Send in MC Hammer on your way out."
01:06:37 "Hello Hammer...
01:06:40 ...Back again, huh?"
01:06:48 Boy, that Hammer. There was another boat that left me on the island, man.
01:06:54 "Bill, are you gonna get on the Hammer boat with us?"
01:06:57 "No, I'd rather stay here and eat my own flesh."
01:07:07 Totally mystifying.
01:07:08 I mean, you know you could sit and explain it
01:07:13 and I'll go, "Fucking don't get it, man."
01:07:16 I, It.. it's geni.. it's con, genital? it's uh genetic!.
01:07:22 Maybe it is genital, Hay, wait a minute. Freud, come here!
01:07:31 "Hammer's a great dancer."
01:07:34 Whaaat? The guy's gotta a sand crab in his knickers.
01:07:43 He's not dancing, he's having a fit!
01:07:46 That's Satan's sperm eating its way through the lining of his stomach.
01:07:58 "15 minutes almost up, Hammer!"
01:08:08 "Send in Marky Mark."
01:08:23 It's good for your voice.
01:08:34 Hey, don't fuck with me, man.
01:08:40 You know what I mean though, am I the only one who's fucking lost here?
01:08:47 You never see positive drugs stories on the news, do ya. Isn't that weird?
01:08:51 'Cause most of the experiences I've had on drugs, were real fucking positive.
01:08:56 Who are these morons they're finding that's what I wanna know.
01:08:59 I used to want to call the news:
01:09:05 "Watch Tommy's, he's a pig, film him!"
01:09:10 "He's been doing that for hours. He's killing us. You getting all that?"
01:09:21 You know what I mean. Always that same LSD story, you've all seen it.
01:09:24 "Young man on acid, thought he could fly,
01:09:30 What a dick, fuck him!
01:09:33 If he thought he could fly, why didn't he take off from the ground first?
01:09:37 Check it out. You don't see ducks lining up
01:09:43 They fly from the ground, you moron.
01:09:47 He's a moron, he's dead, good.
01:09:52 Boy I just felt the world get lighter - we lost a moron.
01:09:56 Put on the Hammer album, I'm ready to dance!
01:10:03 I don't mean to sound cold or cruel or vicious,
01:10:09 Professional help is being sought.
01:10:15 How about a positive LSD story?
01:10:18 to base your decision on information rather than scare tactics
01:10:22 and superstition and lies?
01:10:27 I think it would be news-worthy.
01:10:30 "Today, a young man on acid realised that all matter is merely energy condensed
01:10:34 to a slow vibration. That we are all one
01:10:41 There is no such thing as death, life is
01:10:48 "Here's Tom with the weather."
01:10:58 You've been fantastic and I hope you enjoyed it.
01:11:01 There is a point, is there a point to all of this?
01:11:08 Is there a point to my act? I would say there is.
01:11:13 I have to.
01:11:16 The world is like a ride in an amusement park.
01:11:19 And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real
01:11:23 And the ride goes up and down and round and round.
01:11:25 It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly
01:11:31 Some people have been on the ride for
01:11:35 "is this real, or is this just a ride?"
01:11:37 And other people have remembered, and they
01:11:41 don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..."
01:11:45 And we... kill those people.
01:11:49 "Shut him up."
01:11:51 "We have a lot invested in this ride.
01:11:56 "Look at my big bank account and my family.
01:12:02 Just a ride. But we always kill those
01:12:07 you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok.
