No, no. Idiots are dangerous.
I'm not sure my wife and kids would agree with that assessment.
Once the first OP-ED comes out and tells each joke in plain words without any sense of nuance this thread will become a graveyard.
Lol, I was too scared to say I enjoyed the Chapelle special after seeing that thread.
On a completely unrelated note I must say I did not approve of Bill's special one bit, no siree!
You say that like it isn't literally the point of Bill Burr and like he isn't aware of that.
im 15 mins in atm,
i noticed the audience was kind of pulling back during the metoo stuff, so he joked about people getting mad at kaep to put them at ease a bit, and then went back to the metoo stuff
just an interesting tactic i noticed to try and get the audience more comfortable with the show

It's a whole thread and tbh if this is all that's problematic about Burr he's probably going to be okay.
no one is more aware of what a curmudgeon he is than ol billy red face.
Yes, because clearly I was serious lol. No wonder you guys don't find these stand-up comedians funny. What these Netflix specials are missing are a "/s" watermark present throughout the show.
he seemed very aimless in the first quarter of the special, but the middle and back half are all great classic burr material. the audience also didn't seem to be very connected to the first 20 minutes or so, good laughs, but not as good as later laughs. you could tell he knew the material wasn't hitting as well as he thought it would outside the US.
*Makes a joke post*
*Can't take minor ribbing in response*
*Accuses others of not being able to take a joke*
it's amazing how much funnier he is in his podcast replying to random letters than in his last specials.
While no one can say if those are the kind of "no" girls say when they accuse men of assault, it's something I've always wondered about in those cases.
Girls enjoy playing hard to get and what Burr said put the nail in the coffin with the whole judgement for having done it with multiple men already. Hilarious.

Hilarious. The part about the argument with his wife had me in stiches.
This is odd because he said on his podcasts that those jokes got a much better reaction on his European tour than they did in the US.
I don't think any comedian out there has the power Bill has to self-reflect and self-actualise. It's what I've always loved about Bill. There's something so honest and so raw about everything he says. I was going to buy tickets to this gig too, but was worried it would clash with my exams. I could've been there :/
I kinda hate this defense, and heard it used when it came to Chappelle's latest. Seemingly, if a comedian says something that's smart and illuminating, then it's the comedian who is smart and intelligent. But if a comedian has a take that's stupid and regressive, hey - he's just playing a bit.
Chappelle's latest stand-up had some smart stuff and some dumb stuff, and I took all of it more or less as being a reflection - albeit maybe somewhat exaggerated - version of him. I haven't watched Burr's latest stand-up, but despite liking him interviews, I can guess where he stands on certain topics that I disagree with him on.
Since when did people saying they enjoyed it was bannable?
There were two separate threads on Chappelle: one for the special and one for THR (or Vice) article written about the special.
If I recall correctly, those dismissively saying they enjoyed it in THR Chappelle thread were the ones catching bans because there was an entire thread made to discuss whether you did or did not enjoy the special. Saying "I enjoyed it and saw nothing wrong with it" in THR thread isn't discussing the issues talked about in the article.
Context matters here. People in here have already commented saying they loved it. If another thread is made to tackle any controversy about the special and people come in saying, "I LOVED IT LOL FUNNIEST GUY ALIVE." Then I can kind of see why the ban was issued.
If people are complaining about Bill Burr being an old man yelling at the clouds...that's been his entire for act for the last 15 years.

This was probably my least favorite of his specials, but the last bit about Cleo was fantastic. Wish more of the special was like that.
Yep, I find a lot of his older gender-related jokes funny because they usually made fun of the extreme positions and also painted them as such.
All his bits about feminism simply get the concept so very wrong that I just can't laugh about it.
The second half or 2/3 was fantastic though!
I almost died. There were some amazing bits in this special.
