My favorite comedy bit he did was the following joke:

You think if Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a f--king cross. That's like going up to the Kennedy family with a rifle pendant on.. "Just thinking of John baby, just thinking of John.

The joke was told a tad different in the first posters clip, but this was typical of Bill Hicks form, of modifying jokes to make them better, and him having to put up with censorship and still making the joke work.  He was so transparent in evolution of his style and form to influence comedy for generations to come.
