Great Comedian. You should also try to check out some of his cds. They are hillarious.

"Go back to bed, America. Your Government is in control again. Here. Here's American Gladiators. Watch this. Shut up! Here's 56 channels of it. Watch these pituary [sic] retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go, America. You are free to do as we tell you!"

genius!!!

freeland's we want your soul sampled hicks, and since they couldn't find anyone to pay royalties to, they donated to them to hicks' foundation i think.

"real fucking high"

its a shame he never hit it off huge in america. i guess he was too much smart comedy for most here. he is legendary. too many quotes to identify.
