Bill Burr was legitimately funny 15 years ago, now he's this sad sack. Honestly, he already hit the high note of his career so him crashing out like this won't really be noticed at all until someone says "whatever happened to Bill Burr?"
I usually post some of my personal commentary with threads, but this time I'm not sure what to say other than enjoy! This was long overdue for the annoying whipped retard, he was never funny to begin with, his entire shtick when he was ''redpilled'' was being loud while spouting some generic fencesitter opinions, and his transformation to a house wigger was obviously on the horizon for anyone capable of putting 2 and 2 together. It's like Robert De Niro, sure he made some popular movies in his younger days but what good is it if he's spending his 70s and 80s as a poster, well can't really say child, for TDS? Super nice how Paul or whoever is his researched carefully put together multiple examples of his switch up and hipocrisy.
I am curious though, have you ever found him funny as a comedian? To me he's the first thing that I think of when I hear people complaining about the ''loud = funny''.
Eh. Even in this video it's pointing out how drastically he changed. Humor is fairly subjective, but I'd say he was really funny, back in the day. Near the top. Not S tier, but maybe A tier. Funny dude, with great delivery. Politically/socially, he was correct on some things, and was always incorrect on others.
Nowadays...yeah, utter and complete pathetic cuck.
He had a magic ingredient in his early comedy which was the sense that he was completely unafraid of a crowd to the point where he was eager to court their discomfort and spite. On the extreme hostile end, this gave birth to such great moments as his rant against the heckling crowd in Philly. With a friendlier crowd, it enabled him to do routines on their sacred cows like feminism and female behaviour, while keeping them on-side with his down-to-earth dumbo schtick. The latter also gave the illusion that he was some kind of champion of common sense standards in an increasingly insane world, or that he was a pro-male voice or whatever...
In retrospect - and this realisation came to me at some point as a shower moment - all of this just comes from the fact that he's a deeply prideful, resentful, insecure guy, who likes the freedom to give one-sided rants on shit without anyone being able to blow him up for them. All his faux-dummy 'don't listen to me, I don't read books' type disclaimers in his acts are a folksy diversion because he secretly believes he's the smartest guy in any given room and hates when he gets any kind of pushback on a serious issue: see the 'let's not start this Joe' line in the vid, when Rogan asks a serious question about how far Burr wants to take covid masking. He seems constantly on the verge of weird vendettas or sulks with anyone who rubs him the wrong way or who applies pressure on his fragile worldview.
As he's gotten richer and more comfortable his perspectives have been more and more divorced from 'common' sense and his outlook has revolved more and more around validating his decision to marry a negress. It's easy to see why progressive delusions are increasingly seductive and comforting to such a guy, same as they're seductive to the average lefty - because he doesn't really believe in anything in the first place, and championing anti-racism or parroting the wokeshit of the month gives him a moral anchor and makes him feel like the good guy, the guy who made the right choices. And he parrots these things in the same tone that he used to deliver obvious scathing takedowns of feminist canards.
In short everything that used to make him funny was an act of compensation for a flawed personality. Now those same mannerisms highlight the flaws instead of cloaking them, and make him nauseating for me to watch or listen to.
Have you seen his most recent special on Hulu? I’m not in so deep that I can’t enjoy content just because the performer has a different political slant, but it was really corny. Like shockingly so.
Burr was absolutely carried by his loud energy taking decent jokes to high levels.
But his big source of humor was being a lot more over the line than most comedians would be willing to go. Stuff that seems blase to the kind of guys who'd be on this forum, but was huge and different to hear at the time he was saying it. Especially saying on TV at that. So its very much a "you had to be there in the culture of the time" thing about what made him special. Without it, he is just loudly saying shit.
That's also why people have this extra affinity for calling him out on his change. Because he was actively calling out the shit he now participates in, and helped a lot of people form their ideas about disliking it themselves.
I was never a fan of his. I didn't find him very funny. I'm sure he has a few good bits and comedians that I respect find him to be entertaining. Not my taste to begin with, and now he is insufferable.

He went from white Patrice O'Neal lite to cuck boy.

Bill Burr is funny. I don't agree with all his opinions but yes, he's funny and is a polished performer. He is also very engaging during media.

His comedy is filtered through his wife now, no wonder it's corny
I haven't seen any stand-up in awhile.

Bill Burr is the poor mans DiPaolo
Bill Bur has one thing going for him, though. At least he isn't Jon Stewart.
I thought he was funny but his style eventually became annoying and I hate when he is cast in movies
I feel like this guy was always controlled opposition. He’s funny at times, but even his hottest takes are pretty lukewarm.
No Burr fan here, but is there anyone you guys don't call 'controlled opposition'?
You are deffinetly controlled opposition
So this place is 'deffinitely' controlled opposition too?
Yes
Why are you here?
He was funny but I can't get behind a zoophile, sorry
