What Bill Burr Netflix special to watch?
- Thread starter Staf
- Start date
ok, i thought i was the only one. He seems like a good dude with politics I can dig but I hope his other stuff is funnier.
Holy fuck, the brainworms really are just chomping away on these people…
That's what I'd say if I didn't already know this was a calculated ploy by him and others like him to play to an audience and keep the money rolling in…fuck that guy.
Am I missing some context because this was terrible
You're saying you've never wanted to furiously yell at opera singers? Huh.
Yep, he's on the good side, but he isnt funny to me in the slightest.

I´m Sorry You Feel That Way is my favourite. Probably cause of this bit.
His latest I think is his weakest by far.
I didn't really like his Netflix specials, I watched a couple of them and they seemed really one note around cancel culture or like weakness culture, or something. I didn't think he was that kind of comedian... haven't watched his newest stuff because didn't think his last stuff was that great.
Tim Heidecker is doing some absurdist comedy stuff, it's very, very good but you reeeeaaaaalllly have to be in on the joke or it is literally the unfunniest thing ever.
I legitimately feel bad for the people who go to one of his shows not knowing much about him, like maybe they've seen clips of the Tim & Eric show, or see him on I Think You Should Leave sketch, heard he's good and then go in and like ... unless you're really in on the joke, it's the least funny comedy routine ever.
If you're really in on the joke, it's really funny, and I like Tim Heidecker but even I can't take how committed he is to these routines.... I get like 2nd hand embarrassment.

I see that more than half of this thread is actively about Bill Burr being transphobic and bigoted, but I don't actually... *care* that much and want to feel guilty-free about the media I watch. Maybe if I just ignore that side of the conversation entirely, I get to talk about it publicly and have a stance without "having a stance!"
I'm sad I have to put this disclaimer here, but /s. I think Burr can be funny but he's obviously not learning to evolve with the times in his comedy and views, and if he's unwilling, he should be left behind.
It just wasn't for me but thanks.
And for the record, Burr's best joke imo is the one where he asks why did the government decide to give us freezing cold February for an appreciation month.
As black people why wouldnt we have been given June/July/August? We're a summer people!
The women ruining sports joke is unfamiliar to me
ngl Heidecker's stuff is a little too slow burn for me but goddamn if it isn't funny watching people react to his stuff.
Also fuck Bill Burr, don't watch any of his shit. He's got one good joke about owning a pitbull and thats it.

See I find myself irritated at the borderline patronizing tone here.
I get that he was mocking lowbrow comedians in the opera bit or the big favorite on Resetera, the mockery of the Joe Rogan experience style podcast but to me, he's yet to be funny while doing these bits.
So I guess bravo for the lateral punches but not yet for landing on funny.
Burr might veer into problematic territory but most of the bits of his that ive seen at least are funny.
it's such low hanging fruit for gen-x/boomer comedians. when will it be considered a "hack bit" in comedy?
.......was this supposed to be some obtuse performance art or something? That was just irritating, not funny.
I'm not sure if this is a parody that went completely over my head and the point of this is how unfunny this bit was. I'm talking not even a small stream of air coming from the nose funny.
Wow. I've never seen this side of Tim before. His insights are incredible!
Tim also got stabbed and almost murdered. The story is a bit grim but the storytelling is gripping. #heinetwork

To be honest, I find myself irritated by any attempt to downplay transphobia. I really do have a low opinion of comedians who peddle in bigotry, and the audiences who enable them.
I know I shouldn't be patronizing with Chappelle / Burr fans, but when they're guffawing at low-effort "dickless dude" jokes, what am I to do?

Tim has a very specific type of comedy and it isn't for everyone. I completely understand why someone might not find the humor in that first clip posted.
Haha you can't just post Heidecker without context. It's like me posting the Stewart Lee bit about observational comedy after someone made a thread about Michael McIntyre but don't tell them why I posted it.

That kind of satirical absurdism isn't a good gateway to put in randomly.
If anything, just post the James Acaster bit in threads about edgy "cancel culture" comedians and transphobes.

Judging by some of the reactions to the Heidecker standup, I think Stewart Lee would give them an aneurysm.
For sure! But he's the only person who can do 20min of material on just pear cider.

I have re-watched the black and white one on Netflix with the Church bit / Duck Dynasty Racism etc. multiple times. So good. I'm also Catholic so it is very relatable.

That's literally what all modern white male comedy is like nowadays, which is why it's funny. lol
yeahhhh that was the one that felt most like a punching down rant, 100%
Every time someone says they don't like that Tim Heidecker standup clip, it just makes it funnier.
Sorry if I don't like to support murderers.
What about wanna-be murderers like Gregg when he attempted to imitate art in real life as the Jocker by leaving the engine running during Tim's beautiful wedding ceremony?
Realize that people can find alot of jokes funny from a comedian but not every joke? Accept that not everyone is incapable of separating the artist from the art?
