Let me preface this by saying I’m not a fan at all of Bill Burr, but he recently went on Bill Maher’s show, and said he was with the students. He’s also said some inflammatory things in the past, so I’m not sure. Are we cool with Bill Burr, now?
The fuck is this we shit? Make you your own mind
Thanks for triggering me.
You’re welcome :)
I think he’s always been a bit of an asshole, but he’s a charming asshole and sometimes the things he says are on point. Other times he’s just being an asshole though, but I still find that entertaining for the most part.
He’s doing a character (like most celebrities).
I think he’s smart and brave. A lot of smart people won’t say what they think because of people everywhere checking on discourses for the smallest fractures getting offended. Smart people, in the end, will choose their battles. Bill Burr is not always on point but he does not shy away from stating his point of view. Sometimes he does it brilliantly. I don’t follow the guy as much as a fan or a critic would to know why they like him or why they hate him right now. Seriously, cancelation culture is not constructive.
Who is we?
I don’t know him as a person, but I think he’s pretty funny as a stand up and not a bad actor.
Like the general “we”?
OP why are you trying to outsource your opinion?
I’m not?
Sure seems like you are.
I’ve never seen a problem with him…
I like him. Like everyone Burr sometimes have a bad take or two. But overall he’s a nice guy.
What controversies?
He’s made a “joke” about motherhood not being a hard job. I’ve known single mothers and it’s a pretty damn hard job.
The most famous stuff I’ve heard from him leans very heavily on gay slurs, so I’m not too impressed with him and don’t seek his stuff out.
Glad he’s right about the student protests, though.
