Hah I wonder if Denis has seen this.. would be nice if he's aware.. he's busted. Never knew it'd blow up in his face. But somethin tells me he's the one laughing all the way to the bank
Instead of rotting away from cancer like a sad little goat boy, I've decided to find a way to live forever in another living form. Something that's a little more hardier kind of breed, more Hollywood-savvy. Right now with the help of several Native American shamans, we are creating a blueprint for a body, a receptacle where my soul will keep on living for about three or four more decades. I will be known as 'Denis Leary.' To achieve this, I will live in a teepee in the desert, let the cancer take over my body, and just before I turn into Denis, for a year, the shamans will soak me in a tub of NyQuil and Sudafed. -- Bill Hicks Diaries, 1990

Nah. It wasn't like that before the internet. People didn't think that everything they did would remain anonymous forever dude. Leary just didn't care who knew. He wanted to be famous. That's all. He didn't care how he got there.
Satevo great point.. yes he removes the substance from the bit and zips thru it. Like Bill hicks said "mediocrity thrives and goodness is murdered." Bill was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer and was taken so young and Denis Leary's ends up acting in a movie with Deniro. Bill was sincere and beyond a comic, sneaking out of his house as a kid doing stand up, everything he achieved and did in his art was genuine, he put himself out there. I imagine Denis saw him doing his act and realized he could never have that energy and originality, and so rather than trying to be himself and crafting his own comedy, he decided go steal it, all of it. Should be a crime.
Kid-Amnesiac you can tell when it's genuine and when it's an act. Bill was genuine and Denis was an act he cashed in on. Maynard from Tool captured Bill perfectly in Eulogy. Standing above a crowd, ranting and pointing his finger at everything but his heart. We'll miss him. Ironic that Bill died from cancer and Denis the chain smoking comic is still around. But then he stole that from Bill too
If you care so much about Isis, the national debt, school shootings, and children in Africa, than why are you commenting about a comedian who has been stealing a another comedian's persona for over 30 years.
@mojomusic it reminds me of another Bill Hicks joke, "kennedy, murdered, King, murdered, Reagan,.. wounded!" i sometimes wonder if leary thinks by slightly changing some of the jokes he has made them his own, (the louis ck story about how leary copied some his own jokes is interesting) as he does not appear to give a shit that his entire "comedy" career was faked. i wonder if he ever wrote his material when he was starting out, or if he just thought comedy was a way to become famous, and stealing material was an easy option. i suppose he has finally found his role in life as a serious actor, he played the part of a comedian for years.
It's so cringey when you see the real comedian do it first then see the lame attempt from the one stealing. I bet every great comedian had someone like Dennis that ripped them off.

Bill was once asked if he thought Dennis stole his jokes. Bill replied, "That's patently false; what happened was I stole my jokes from Dennis. And to disguise it I added punchlines"
Leary's joke theft backfired on him, Hicks's legend has grown over time and he's influenced scores of younger comics while Leary's stuff is almost forgotten. In a weird way his plagarism may have contributed to attracting more future fans to Bill's original routines. Either way he knows what he did and can never live it down. Sad.
@@TheScorpio113 Ikr.... I was a fan of Leary first from watching Rescue Me, but then you find out he built his career on someone else material.... Which is said!
Supposedly Leary had a rule in Boston during the 70's and 80's; the joke wasnt officially yours unless you told it on TV. Hicks is the most well known comic he stole from, but guaranteed there were a hundred others that he took jokes off of as well. Also when Comedy Central roasted Leary awhile back, there were atleast two jokes that referenced him ripping off Hicks that Leary wouldn't allow in the show itself. Dude was/is spineless and a thief.
Denis Leary lifted segments of Bill Hicks act, re-worded it and perfomed it at a faster tempo which led to people referring to him as Bill Hicks on speed. Material such as "jim fix, cigerette warnings, and heavy metal records backwards are just a few examples of entire segments he lifted from Bill Hicks act - he simply re-worded it. He also lifted the mock shooting of himself at the end of his show directly from Bill Hicks shows aswell as hick's "famous people dying" segment. I remember a few years ago a few friends came round to my house for a meal. Afterwards we sat down and played xbox. We got into a discussion and they happened to mention by pure chance Denis Leary's stand up show called "no cure for cancer". When i told them that Denis Leary had stole alot of stuff off Bill Hicks they wouldn't believe me. So i started playing them my private collection of Bill Hicks stand up dvds and bootleg vhs tapes and i skipped to the parts that i knew Leary had stole. Being die hard Denis Leary fans they knew his material off by heart. When they saw Bill Hicks performing Learys act they thought the shows must have been done afterwards.

I proved to them that Hicks shows were done years before Learys. They were forced to admit i was right. (Grudgingly).

Well, I guess posterity has done its job in this case then! Bill Hicks is remembered as one of the original stand-up geniuses. Today we have CK, Burr, Jefferies, Gervais etc. Now you said Dennis... who?
A lot of people who go to comedy shows will laugh at pretty much anything they've had a few drinks and they don't really have a sophisticated sense of humor and they're ready to laugh at whatever. It's easy to get cheap laughs.
Samuel Woods damn that’s a good question.. I saw bill first and never got into Leary but I’d imagine most saw Leary first which is kind of sad.. bill was performing a lot in England.
in all honesty, I grew up in the 80's when Leary rose to fame. I loved his stuff and he became one of my favorite comics. I'd never heard of Bill Hicks. Moved to Germany in 1990 and missed out on all of the American comedy scene until '04 and didn't pay much attention after that. Cut to today and I'm learning about this for the first time. Heartbreaking.
Yes, exactly. I've made a comment already... came to like him through friends, all seemed to watch Leary. The films, Demolition Man, then that great TV show, and whatever. Wouldn't bother me so much, EXCEPT how there are other people commenting how he has never embraced the cheating... how's that possible, you know. Aanyway
The only thing I’m totally cool with Denis stealing is that bit from Louie CK about being an asshole and just accepting it. Because wasn’t so much that he loves Louie CK’s joke that he wanted to steal it, he was the joke, just an asshole who knew it and ran with it.
*I hear Denis is planning on faking his own death, gaining weight and starting an informational show based on conspiracy theories... how original of him.*
Good edit on this video to say "the plot thickens" in reference to the story of Denis stealing and Bill's open mouth right after Denis says just what Bill says.
Ha apprreciate that you noticed. I made a part 2 that's almost finished. I got my iPad coming so I can finally post it. I'm hoping to get 1000 views on my channel. Cheers. Please subscribe if you havnt already. More to come
I watched sane Man last night and found more than I even realised before. Used to love Learys stand up when I was younger, he even stole the asshole bit from Louis ck
Denis was always going to be the bigger comedian in the 90s, the jokes similar or stolen are funny to two different types of people and Leary's concept was clearly what sold in that era.
Just recently, I was considering giving Dennis Leary some time as I didn't really care for him and his show when I was younger, but I am glad I am seeing this first.. I might give Rescue Me a shot but I will keep in mind where he came from and how disappointing this is
Man, what a great ending to his set that was. And of course Hicks was playing big venues in the UK first, before America, that makes so much sense somehow. Actually, that's probably the first time I heard/saw his name: reading the liner notes to Radiohead's album "The Bends", which is dedicated to him
Leary is way more entertaining and funny. Much stronger delivery and better stage presence. Hicks was boring so even if Leary stole his material, he performed it better.
When you listen back to both so called comics you hear it come from the heart from one and the other just jumped up and down screaming the material he heard from someone else just to get famous, which one is the one true artist who hated the status quo and which one was the opposite and was just a whore for money and fame. Answers on a post card please.
Leary is a fucking joke. “It’s irony at a base level but I like it! It’s real basic irony but you can still get a hoot!” - Bill Hicks. Rest In Peace brother
Used to think Leary was whatever, and then (like, all) friends convinced me that he's cool... decades later, then, I see this here. Had no idea. Now what do we do, it's not like he's singing and playing somebody's song, with a band. I have no idea. :/
Even when he was on Tough Crowd and got his ass handed to him by Greg Geraldo, he was still trying to do a Bill Hicks impression. He was too full of himself, his show, Rescue Me, was meant to be all about him. Cast members were sick of it
I was about 16 with no cure for cancer came out on CD. I thought it was a good comedy album. I listened to the album 25 years later, you know what I learned..... All teenager have shity tastes! When you are young, mostly you have no instincts. what is good and what is not. Hearing Denis Leary's stand up as a full fledged adult. How could I think this garbage was funny. See this video proves that now I got instincts.
@@filiplugo7630 Also, Hicks is still held up as one of the alternative comedy greats of the 20th Century, often by other comedians, lost at a tragically young age. Leary is what, a mediocre comedy actor doing basic TV shows and occasionally peddling the same tired schtick he's been stealing from others for 30 years?
Watch the Colin Quinn "Tough Crowd" episode where Greg Giraldo tears Leary a new one. Dennis made a career out of thievery. Surprisingly, he is a somewhat decent actor. Then again, most professional bullshit artists are.
he became famous cause the powers that be could control him, they couldn't control bill, bill other than his jokes told it like it was about everything from marketing to the presidency and he died of pancreatic cancer, Denis did everything bill did without that bit and he's famous, alive and still kicking....coincidence, i think not
1:46 not only is he stealing Hicks’ content, he is completely stealing George Carlin’s delivery and mannerisms. The tone of his voice, the cadence, the inflections, the face he makes, the way he bends his knees and squats at 1:54 .... every fucking thing he is doing ... is a carbon copy of George Carlin. The only difference between the two is that Leary isn’t funny.
ruclips.net/video/FJXxw44BglI/видео.html This comic talking about Bill gives an idea of why someone with Denis's character would result in stealing this material.. it was so good it prob. made him feel like he could never be that good.
And I discovered today the song "I'm an asshole" is based off of a Louis CK bit way back in the day. Louis didn't care that much (and later Leary helped him get funding for a movie). Just yikes. I can't watch these guys after I see clear evidence of it.

None of you copers can even name one joke that was lifted, you just point to their "style" being similar, cope and seethe.

_stealing + manic energy = totally fine_
"Maybe if I say it really fast nobody will notice I stole it"
Bill was once asked if he thought Dennis stole his jokes. Bill replied, "That's patently false; what happened was I stole my jokes from Dennis. And to disguise it I added punchlines"

Denis ripping off Alex Jones like that... smh, he should be ashamed of himself.
".......I steal people's jokes, and I say that they're mine, I have a big house and my wife's really fine. I'm an asshole........."
how can we compare bills' genius with this joke of a comedian
Leary is a fucking joke. “It’s irony at a base level but I like it! It’s real basic irony but you can still get a hoot!” - Bill Hicks.
Rest In Peace brother
Leary got schooled by Greg giraldo
I heard that this pissed bill off so much he turned into Alex Jones
Leary did Rescue Me. I do not care whom he ripped off.
I honestly could never see the appeal of Dennis Leary.
Theft aside, can we all agree that Leary's high energy persona is absolutely enraging.
Used to think Leary was whatever, and then (like, all) friends convinced me that he's cool... decades later, then, I see this here. Had no idea. Now what do we do, it's not like he's singing and playing somebody's song, with a band. I have no idea. :/

Mensia fessed up, got made to deal with what he did. Leary on the other hand, to me a MILLION times worse than Mencia.
Yea hes a smug fuck. Please subscribe if you havnt already I'm hopi g to get 1000 subscribers. Part 2 is coming. Cheers
So disappointing that I learned about Dennis Leary before Bill Hicks…
Keith still alive in 2019
Even when he was on Tough Crowd and got his ass handed to him by Greg Geraldo, he was still trying to do a Bill Hicks impression.
He was too full of himself, his show, Rescue Me, was meant to be all about him. Cast members were sick of it
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate the time you have put into this.

Acetate.
Mitchell Cumsteen just checking in on ya
Leary is a good actor, Rescue Me was a good show. Nevertheless
Never laughed at one thing Denis Leary said, still don't know how he made it
I agree. He's obnoxious crap.
Leary's delivery is just so shrill and unsubtle. It's really hard to watch.
I was about 16 with no cure for cancer came out on CD. I thought it was a good comedy album. I listened to the album 25 years later, you know what I learned..... All teenager have shity tastes! When you are young, mostly you have no instincts. what is good and what is not. Hearing Denis Leary's stand up as a full fledged adult. How could I think this garbage was funny. See this video proves that now I got instincts.
Hicks lacked delivery, odd timing, and comedic skill sets. Leary, on the other hand, has delivery and a sense of humor.
@@filiplugo7630 And other people's jokes that he stole.
@@filiplugo7630 Also, Hicks is still held up as one of the alternative comedy greats of the 20th Century, often by other comedians, lost at a tragically young age. Leary is what, a mediocre comedy actor doing basic TV shows and occasionally peddling the same tired schtick he's been stealing from others for 30 years?
@@13strong Along the way, Hicks also pirated some jokes.
Watch the Colin Quinn "Tough Crowd" episode where Greg Giraldo tears Leary a new one. Dennis made a career out of thievery. Surprisingly, he is a somewhat decent actor. Then again, most professional bullshit artists are.
Dennis Leary reminds me of every stupid annoying student I had that you knew was just a one night stand...
Death is funny when you're young. If you're lucky enough to hit 50 it's not as much of a riot.
he became famous cause the powers that be could control him, they couldn't control bill, bill other than his jokes told it like it was about everything from marketing to the presidency and he died of pancreatic cancer, Denis did everything bill did without that bit and he's famous, alive and still kicking....coincidence, i think not
1:46 not only is he stealing Hicks’ content, he is completely stealing George Carlin’s delivery and mannerisms. The tone of his voice, the cadence, the inflections, the face he makes, the way he bends his knees and squats at 1:54 .... every fucking thing he is doing ...
is a carbon copy of George Carlin.
The only difference between the two is that Leary isn’t funny.
And George Carlin pissed over both of them.

This comic talking about Bill gives an idea of why someone with Denis's character would result in stealing this material.. it was so good it prob. made him feel like he could never be that good.
Damn man. Bill Hicks is one of the greatest. Never liked Denis Leary, even less so.
Jesus I can’t believe I never noticed til today and I had to look it up.
its cringe to see this ! Long Live Bill
You all seem to forget they were all talking to each other in a big circle...
look, they knew each other they shared jokes!
And the crowd loved Dennis....democracy is flawed
Proof that assholes live forever, RIP BILL
The dishonorable canuk ruined every joke he stole, because he never understood how to write one.
And I discovered today the song "I'm an asshole" is based off of a Louis CK bit way back in the day. Louis didn't care that much (and later Leary helped him get funding for a movie). Just yikes. I can't watch these guys after I see clear evidence of it.
Louis talked about that on 'Opie and Anthony'? I believe. He also called Leary a 'fucking, talentless cunt', if my memory is correct.
