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?
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”?
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.
He hasn’t been funny in a long time. I think covid brain broke him because after that he’s switched to Podcaster humor and it’s insufferable.
I used to listen to his podcast. It was never the podcast i was really looking forward to, but it was a good filler. I havend listened to it in like a year or two, and i don’t miss it at all. It was kinda just noise after a while.
We? Think for yourself.
You either like him or dont like him. Don’t let a bunch of faceless online accounts do gatekeeping on your life.
This kind of “checking that I’m still orthodox” post makes my skin crawl. Who is “we”?
The days of three dude comedians on cable are over. In the time it takes me to weigh whatever pros and cons of Burr, I can find half a dozen clips from a variety of comedians I find funnier.
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 course 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.
OP why are you trying to outsource your opinion?
I’m not?
The fuck is this we shit? Make you your own mind
Thanks for triggering me.
You’re welcome :)
Sapere Aude, OP. You don’t need to outsource your opinions.
How is that even a question? Bill Burr is a legend.
Also, I collect/watch all of real time. Bill Burr wasn’t on any episode this year/season.
What do we have here? It seems OP was referring to Bill Maher’s podcast.
Im sorry that you feel the need to subject yourself to Bill Mahr in real time.
Don’t be, I go to the effort of pirating it each week because I quite enjoy it.
Though watching Kellyanne Conway two episodes ago was quite tedious.
I reject that kind of black and white thinking. We don’t have to classify people as either “cool” or “uncool”, or “good” and “bad”. We can criticize one thing someone does, while also praising something else that they do.
This is absolutely correct, let’s not forget how amazing the turnaround was in road network and car industry after Hitler came to power in 1933!
Who’s “we”, and why do you feel the need to ask them if they like a particular comedian?
Left wingers/Lemmyites.
Second part of the question; is having your opinion validated by the group that important to you?
I think it would be better to ask where he stands on things, confirm the information from multiple sources, and make your own opinion.
I like him. Like everyone Burr sometimes have a bad take or two. But overall he’s a nice guy.
Fuck Bill Barr. His commentary on Bill Maher was centrist at best. I’ll never forgive him for the other fucked up shit he said, or at least until he actually apologises (spoiler: he won’t).
