Am I wrong in thinking that Bill Hicks isn't funny?

Bill Hicks RARELY makes me laugh, I've given him such a solid shot because so many proclaim him to be a genius: So over rated.

The only Bill Hicks joke that made me laugh, he was talking about how he was tripping on acid in his mom's car, and it was a talking car. He was riding in the car, and the car said, "The Door is Ajar" they pulled over and spent 12 hours trying to figure out how a door could be a jar. It was a pretty cute story, but other than that all he does is bitch that people don't "get him" and how dark and non positive he is. Oooooh, you're freaking everyone out Bill, you're so smart. I agree though, he comes off as an ass while attempt to appear clever. He just seems to constantly remind the audience that he's smart.

You have done an excellent job of summarizing my exact feelings on the matter, though I have not heard the car bit.

Depends on what day you caught him on. He had some serious melt downs at different points in his career.
