Bill Hicks - Yul Brynner

Does anyone remember this: when Yul Brynner died and came out with that commercial after he was dead? Does anyone remember that?

"I'm Yul Brynner and I'm dead now."

What the fuck's this guy selling? Guy crawled through the earth to get a residual check here.

"I'm Yul Brynner and I'm dead now, 'cause I smoked cigarettes."

It's pretty frightening, you know? But they could've done that with anybody. They could'vе done it with that Jim Fixx guy just as easily.

"I'm Jim Fixx and I'm dead now... I don't know how thе fuck it happened. I jogged every day, ate nothing but tofu, swam 500 laps every morning, I'm dead! Yul Brynner drank, smoked and got laid every night of his life. He's dead! Shit!"
"Yul Brynner's chain-smoking, drinking, 15-year-old girls sitting on his cue-ball noggin every night of his life. I'm running around a dewy track at dawn. We're fucking both dead! God damn it."
