Bill Hicks on Marketing and George Carlin

I thought I’d give you a few comedy clips I enjoy.  The first one is Bill Hicks on marketing.  I love this one because he was so anti-advertising and he was against consumerism.  This is why I really enjoy him as a comic genius.  He wasn’t afraid to say the things that people did not want to hear.

And for those of you who are concerned about the planet, I implore you to look at it from an alternative perspective in George Carlin’s famous bit called Saving the Planet.  This is a bit more thoughtful than the bit above.  I love this bit because it sheds some light on some of the things I talk about on this blog.  I’m not worried about the planet still existing.  I’m worried about it becoming a vast wasteland.  But it will eventually regenerate once we’re gone anyway.  My favorite quote from George in this bit is, “The planet is going anywhere.  We are.”  George was the same in the way he said things that people were thinking but were afraid to hear.

I hope you can take the same value and understanding from these clips that I do.  I’m thinking of devoting one day a week to comedy I enjoy.  I’ll link to a few clips and we’ll all have a few laughs.  Wednesday seems like the logical day.  It’s right in the middle of the week.  Friday’s too far away, and you’re tired from getting up early 3 days in a row.  There’s still 2 more to go and maybe humor shall help you through your day.

P.S.  Just for kicks, I thought I’d throw in some deadpan humor in the form of Steven Wright.   He is one of my favorites, so I find him just hilarious.
