7. No. Bruce was great, but Hicks was extraordinary.

10. I disagree big time
I think he was one of the best social commentators, and it's cool when you hear him for the first time, but he really wasn't THAT funny.

I think that people who have been hugely inspired by him and are his successors like David Cross and Bill Maher are way funnier.

11. Ridiculous.
I'm pretty sure both David Cross AND Bill Maher would disagree with that assessment.
