Bill Burr: Paper Tiger | Netflix | Out Now

i like burr. I think he views life through a very specific lens and has a hard time switching to anything else. His opinion on "privilege" is 100% class based vs being split between class and race and runs into problems that way. He at least thinks through all the problems, even if i dont agree with all his conclusions its usually funny.
Love that instead of engaging with people's criticisms for what they are, you'd prefer an echo chamber with no dissenting voices. Sounds pretty sensitive to me.
Wouldn't know. I tend to wait until I see something before I rate it.
All I want, is for people to trash him the same exact way they trashed Chappelle, if the jokes/content is similar.
Why wouldn't we? Although I guess I am harder on Dave because his talents have been much greater than everyone else.
Not so much here, because I know people will hold Burr's feet to the fire if he is offensive, but more so the online articles. Some of the articles I read absolutely trashed Chappelle's special.
One is a politician, whose sole purpose is power and to enact change...
The other is a comedian. Someone who says things and writes strange observations to make people laugh and get a rise out of them.
Their roles and importance couldn't be farther apart.
Are we seriously at a point that people think a comedian has the same power and dangerousness as our shitstain president?
I'll say this, as someone who's seen it live and got a little, uh, triggered ... the set is def the best out of his last three if you're willing to embrace your privilege.
I saw him I guess a year and a half ago or so. Curious to see if some of those bits will make it in
In a normal world I'd agree. But Trump is no politician. He's a performer and a narcissist. Just like a comedian. And both Dave and Trump attempt to normalize hate speech.
I do. Fun background rants. Some of what he says ends up in his shows.
I love he when improvises a tune for Me Undies.
Or that time he mentioned he loves One Punch Man

His podcast is amazing. I could honestly listen to him rant for hours on end, he's just insanely entertaining.
I used to, but I fell off. Now I only catch up on the episodes where Nia is on, she's always calling out his bullshit and it's great.
The one where he was looking at porn and she caught him is fucking hilarious as is the one where they talk about when she hit her head.
It's funny. When I saw him here in Seattle, I saw a few dude bro/red pill types wandering around before the show. The kind of guys who don't "get" the jokes for the right reasons. Nia actually mentioned this once in the podcast. She was like "half of your audience ain't shit" or something like that. Bill knows too, that's why it seems like he'll go out of his way to make sure his jokes don't sound TOO much like punching down.
It's been a while, but didn't he call out some of his audience during one of his specials?
Something about them coming up to him after the show and talking about he was saying things they were thinking.
Indeed. Can't wait to watch both of them. I got to see Bill Burr live, top notch!
I thought it felt familiar. He's definitely lost some of his edge when doing shows. He does better during interviews, this one is still one of my favourites.
And perhaps his funniest Conan moment ever,
I doubt it after watching that trailer. The Chappelle was weak as hell and had the whole 2 edgy for you mentality.
Really like burr but wasn't crazy about his last special. Looking forward to this one, hope he can get back to punching muffins tier
he had a set on The Degenerates, which is kind of a roundup of Bonfire/SiriusXM/Cellar-adjacent comedians
Criticisms before they've seen the special? Nothing more sensitive than that.
I mean, the special isn't even out yet. What is there to discuss right now? The trailer? The name of the special? Bill's past?
Well yeah, the special is 6 months old at this point, comedians will use stuff from their upcoming specials on talkshows etc etc..

Destroys.
sure he's off a bit here and there but the lows come with some huge highs.
I don't think you all will like it tho with some of the discussion around here on this topics.

Have actually never seen Bill Burr stand-up, though have seen some youtube clips. Huge fan of Chappelle though, get similar wibe from the trailer. But this thread really sells me on the podcast, will give it a listen on the commute!
his interviews with Colbert & Conan's the best...the hosts barely talk...Bill Purr just carry the whole segment of the show with the host laughing without breath...LMAO
Ah, I thought you meant after watching the special that it seemed similar.
I don't know, I saw him in March in Amsterdam and thought he was great. Haven't seen a bad show from him (haven't watched this one yet) but I do find if you watch clips of Conan, Kimmler, etc.. of his talk shows, he will use a lot of stand up material from it.
