Lol oh please he treated Theo like shit. He got pissy he didn't know his old TV show reference and belittled him the whole time. Was only there to promote his special that everyone knew was out. Very nasty side came out.
What makes Bill so lethal is that he's such a great listener. He takes a miniscule thing and blows it up and is a masterful ranter. He's once in a generation.
The more you sit back and 'absorb', the more dangerous you become. He doesn't take the miniscule thing and blows it up for no reason, he assumes the intent to be negative and that's why he spikes you - which is sometimes wrong as he himself admitted - something that is understandable when you spend your whole life getting back handed compliments.
@@DarkForceUbz this is something i'll admit that i really struggle with. i've had some fucked up friendships and i pay super close attention to the smallest things and of course most of it is negative although there are plenty of positive things if i look at it from a broader perspective
You shouldn't struggle with it and you'll learn with time, when you realize that said negativity is only the truth - assuming you also notice the good things.The more you know, the more true the statement "ignorance is bliss" becomes.@@axg5929 I bet we have similiar ideas regarding the system / society. Just be humble and accept changes in things you realize are not totally accurate and you'll be good imo. In a social way, it's weird to pay that much attention to relationships. In a human way, it's expectable. I've recently started to differentiate shxt for what their natural / human meaning is, and what the social / systematic adaptation is. That helped me a lot distinguish and treat shxt for what it is and made it easier for me to distinguish right from wrong according to my morals. Love!
Aye! The Philly crowd loved it and that made it all that more hilarious! Philly peeps are like that. They are a tough bunch, but they love a good roast!
As long as its only recorded in history books you'll be fine, we don't read or are seemingly aware of any historical events beyond the "Steagles", gettysburg, or our Superbowl win.
@@keihan5i honestly think all of us love a good roasting when it’s true and in good fun. F it, it’s fun to laugh at ourselves… I’m f’ed up and I know it, just like most of us
that really showed his true "character" man that was embarrassing was his goal to instantly lose the respect of any normal person who respected him before? just straight embarrassing.
if you really wanted too , youd find a way to train to get to this level . Some people are just born that way but i dont think BB is one of those people
@@rvansteensel420 To be honest, he seems more comfortable in those situations. Maybe has a lot to do with the slightly messed up childhood he had. If that's what it takes to learn this, I'll leave it thanks :P.
The last clip really made me appreciate Bill more. He saw a normal guy wanting to follow his "dream" but instead was being made fun off. He stood up for him
No, it's Bill Burr not understanding the premise of the show he's on. If anything Bill could have given him constructive criticism instead of defending him that "No one can do standup in one minute" when many on that show have.
@@sergiomartinez5946 exactly. Ric Flair is one thing, Bill being a comedian and also likely knowing the format of KT, and still getting all cry baby was cringe. Still love him tho
@@peenoice5176 Teach them to be able to take roasts and develop thicker skin. It's not a bad idea. But, I feel like Bill Burr should've been better informed of the format of the show. Though, perhaps he should've done his research.
The best thing about you is your ability to remain neutral about the people you're talking about and never talking a side and let the viewers decide. Huge respect man!
Bill seems like the kind of friend who busts your balls all the time because he genuinely likes having a good time with you, but as soon as someone else tries to actually hurt you, he's the first to step up and ends their entire existence.
Too true. It's not prob everyone's experience, but in my friend group, if we don't roast you, we don't like you. It also gives you some perspective and gets you out of your own shitty head.
"He is actually a sensitive guy who wants people to be the best version of themselves". I can hear Bill roasting the hell out of you for that ending. Hahaha. That's literally how bill laughs.
Yeah, this man is a treasure. His specials, his interviews, F is For Family and the Monday Morning Podcast - you can't get too much Bill Burr. I discovered him in Breaking Bad but only found out years later he was a comedian, his recent movie Old Dads had me crying of laughter.
“Some people think Bill is the insecure one” He is insecure. He’s talked about his insecurities before. It’s birthed some of his best comedic insights. One of the reasons he’s able to maintain his perspective and roast people regularly is because he lets his insecurities be known.
Everyone is insecure, it's only a matter of how aware you are of your insecurities and how you deal with them. Anybody who says they're not insecure, don't know themselves well enough.
@@lotanowo Probably the best observation out there. Everyone is insecure sometimes, the differences are in how reasonable those insecurities are, and how you let them dictate your words and actions.
It's not always about giving advice and solving problems, sometimes people just want you to listen to their feelings. If you don't see anything wrong with how Bill treated theo in that interview, you have problems.
I grew up with a harsh no nonsense dad, I get that vibe from bill burr. Some people probably think he’s being a d*ck or whatever but he’s a guy who’s heart is in the right place but comes off like an a hole to people that may have not been given tough love or exposed to harsh criticism. He means well, and he’s a funny guy
I mean, he keeps repeating that he's a psycho, people just can't understand even when it hits them on the face. I'm a psycho, I have to be a dick to be entertaining, going to therapy, anger problems etc. etc. etc. he is very blatant about those it's just that he's so funny that I think people don't take that seriously. On the uninformed podcast he said along the lines of "when people backstage still wants you to be this funny guy but they don't understand that when you're this morose psychopath" (which is hilarious yet honest). But yeah, I also believe he's a good guy constantly fighting his rooted anger.
@@lou5368being a dick and being a psycho are 2 completely different things. do not even conflate those two terms. idc if you used to be a psychopath. that doesnt give you leeway to conflate two completely different issues
Bill Burr and Conan are the best pair. You can't convince me otherwise. I could listen to them talk to each other for hours. No other late night host could handle bill like conan could.
They are both razor-sharp, sophisticated, and evenly matched. Bill has his way with most other comedians like JR and TV because he's too quick-witted and can dismantle both of them with ease...
Man I was ready to be upset, thought this was gonna be a hit piece on Burr but no, you nailed it on the head. He likes to mess with people and push their buttons, he is a true comedian. Ethan taking anti-depressants and going to therapy was not Bill's fault, that was going to happen eventually anyway and Bill just propelled it to the top of Ethan's priorities. Hell, he did him a favor lol.
@@HyperDefectiveSo, you knew and still assumed the worst. You are honestly the most insecure person if you are ready to be offended on behalf of a man like Bill Burr.
Bill Burr is the angry voice inside our heads that screams at us when things don't go well, the things we wish we had the courage and tact to say. For that he is a hero and a timeless comedian that will always connect with something deeper inside us all.
He just has the balls y’all don’t. He’s not worried about being cancelled or being judged, doesn’t care about social media He is literally just an honest person which is something y’all aren’t used to.
@@anthonydavenport1841 He started doing comedy in the system before the system became what it is now. I'm from 98, and I've seen a lotta shxt change in the few years I've been here. There's no comedian like him and e.g Carlin nowadays, but I also think you wouldn't be able to thrive the same way nowadays. Imagine the amount of shxt that'd get cut, censored or banned in certain places for their sincerity - it's insane
@@anthonydavenport1841 A random honest guy from like 1969 wouldn’t have half the wit bill does, he’s skilled. Being ballsy doesn’t manifest substance, you need to already have it. That’s what separates bill from the dime-a-dozen “I don’t give a shit, cancel me I dare you” comedians and jokers nobody really cares for. He has lots of substance and it shows in his work.
@@anthonydavenport1841 Easy, man. You're acting like "being honest" isn't something that can cost your job or public image nowadays. Kevin Hart was honest about something a long time ago and it cost him his position of hosting the Oscars, which is something he always wanted to do.
That’s what makes Bill pretty relatable. He’s honestly upfront about his insecurities. That’s the reason why he could call out the insecurities of others so easily.
I think he was great in king of staten island very belivable and did a solid job. He’s one of the top senior comics in the country and the big comics can always work a bad crowd and hecklers over in a unique way, but the way he cleared out Philly on the virus tour is the stuff of legend.
Yeah, right before he destroys any credibility he has by viciously insulting everyone around him for no real reason. Is he funny? Absolutely. Is he a relentless asshole who lashes out at anyone around him for no real reason at all beyond desperately trying to hide his own insecurities? Also absolutely!
The end, with Bill being so uncomfortable with shitting on people trying comedy, kinda shows a sweeter side of him. He genuinely felt uncomfortable tearing somebody down like that
Because experienced comedians hate losing the room and being heckled. It why Bills Philly rant and Bernie Mac’s “I ain’t scared of you muthafuckers” set is so legendary.
He is not highly educated, as he stated a lot of times himself... he flunked highschool, never finished college, so theres that... but still... I love him. He is quick with responses to insults and just commically really smart.... he knows what will play to an audiance but does not overstep... Bill Burr is one of my farvorite commedians of all time.
@@wtxcrazydonut He's not judging him, he's just refuting something that's stated in the first 20 seconds of the video... Bill himself readily admits he didn't finish college and calls himself a dumbass self-deprecatingly. He's obviously very sharp and self aware though, and smarter than he gives himself credit for.
@@wtxcrazydonut I mean, being educated means completing a degree. They are not wrong, even if their grammar is. The guy in the video probably just meant he is very aware of other's body language and attentive to what they say. Then Bill Burr just goes on the attack and knows how to make people submit in a conversation. It makes him socially aware in a sense of dominance, but the guy lacks emotional intelligence.
About 20 years ago I was with 25 friends in a room and we saw him perform in this tiny comedy club before he got famous. We were the only ones in the room. I only realized it was him years later. Anyway 2 of our friends, a couple, got too drunk and started talking loudly to each other while he was doing his set. He LIT INTO them, so savagely and so hilariously that everyone laughed like we were going to die. I don't think he knew that the whole room knew each other. To this day I still remember some of the jokes he told because they were so funny and so true.
I don't have 25 friends anymore. Bill Burr's savage rips tore us apart. Some of us wanted to go back and kick his ass, others (including me) thought we should kick our friends' asses for talking during the show. We started arguing, then other things came out, and well, long story short, I haven't seen most of those people since that time.
One of the things that seem to genuinely bother him is when people are unprofessional with him. The bio on his website used to start with "hello to all the radio producers reading this five minutes before interviewing me on the air." He's old school and came up through comedy the hard way, that's why he doesn't have a lot of patience for people being unprofessional.
He should try to be more patient to newcomers, they have got learn sometimes. I would swap comedian/actor all the time, because it doesn't show a ranking, that which is more, but after this I would have learnt, that some peoole would be offended by swapping it. But I would also expect a more formal response, that "I prefer comedian/actor, since I am first of all a comedian"...
@@andraspalatinus145 I haven't heard of him slagging off other comics or actors. In fact on his podcast he encourages people to try comedy. His issues are usually with producers, Bookers, hosts. People that do it as a job and should know better.
Seen Bill live, he is really like hearing an old timey uncle from a bygone era crack jokes at a BBQ in a working class backyard somewhere . He talked and told jokes for a long time and it felt like he had been up there 20 min. Me and the crowd didnt want it to end. He is a one of a kind comedian.
Me too, best money I ever spent. Being with the crowd was amazing it was genuinely like our psychotic uncle was giving his never ending thanksgiving toast and the entire arena was at the dinner table laughing together at every single joke. I’ll cherish that memory forever.
People who enjoy talking to "working class people" aka depressed angry people, probably enjoys his jokes. The rest of us sees him as the obvious asshole he is. A pathetic one at that. Fkr cant have a conversation at all.
I saw him about 15 years ago in a small nightclub in SF having zero idea who anyone was - just to go see some comedy. Bill Burr was the headliner and he killed it - kept going and going and going with the crowd dying. I almost threw up laughing so hard.
To see Theo and Bill get so uncomfortable was sad. They say dont meet your heros for reason. To see Theo just get so hurt and Bill judge Theo by the way he looked hurt my soul.
Bill Burr came off as mean on Theo Vons show. And the fact that he was still humble afterwards about how he was treated… that’s why people like Theo. He’s genuinely a good guy.
his philly rant has got to be the funniest thing i’ve ever heard! the fact that he went off unscripted and just dropped the greatest bit ever makes him my all time fav comic
Not to make fun of his mental health but Tbh, Ethan saying talking to Bill Burr for an hour made him start taking anti depressants is the funniest thing I’ve heard in Awhile
Watching this is like watching a normal conversation between friends in Lancashire (and Yorkshire). Blunt, brutal, sarcastic and yet will listen to you rant for hours to get what it is off your chest.
You can see in that last bit that Bill isn't a bully, he’s happy to tear into people so long as they either a) Can take it or b) Had it coming. When someone seems uncomfortable and has just died he’d feel like a prick to tear into them but if they just did a good set and seem confident, he can let them have it with the confidence that they will take it well. The people on that show who tear everybody down equally, seem to lack empathy and many might be looking to belittle others to make themselves feel bigger.
Lisa Lampanelli, Jeffrey Ross, the late Greg Giraldo, the late Patrice o'Neal are/were like that too, they're old school roasters with a soul. They are not cynical like Colbert, for example.
Not just what's in people's heads - Burr is a comedic genius because he gives words to feelings and perspectives that many people have had for a long time but could not explain. It takes a lot of effort to distill and capture the present moment and that's what makes comedy magic. Its what comedians do in the same way that philosophers do.
I've followed Bill's career for a long time. If you really want to know why he is the way he is then look up what the cellar table was. There are plenty of stories about comics genuinely avoiding that table in the comedy cellar where a certain group of comics would sit and roast the hell out of each other to the point of some walking out genuinely upset. It toughened comics up but it can also have the opposite effect of causing a normally easygoing fun loving person into an aggressive overly guarded person at times. In today's comedy climate it's become obsolete with everyone encouraged to be supportive and he's one of the few of that group still working, says yes to as many podcasts as he can to keep in touch with today's comedy audience as well as bringing his large audience to comedy newcomers. You need to remember this was a kid who grew up in the 70's where you HAD to be tougher and talking to someone younger, more sensitive will occasionally provoke someone older to dish out some tough love like he got. I have no doubt most of today's comedians would not have lasted being roasted nearly nightly by comics like Patrice O Neal, Jim Norton, Rich Vos, Colin Quinn and many more and would have walked out feeling like they were bullied. That culture has basically gone and I'm not saying that's a good or a bad thing but you can see the damage it's done to Bill on the very rare occasion where he gets exasperated by a younger comedians question
But he usually makes it funny even if he’s upset, somehow he’s offensive but it’s still funny, there’s some irony and sarcasm behind it, it’s still passive aggressive to full on aggressive but it’s humorous so its unclear if he’s really upset by things or just pretending to be, he’s very quick witted and like Theo said very brash, it’s astounding he hasn’t gotten cancelled outright or has had a major scandal against him, I’m sorta waiting to see if he do some type of turn I won’t like as a lot of comedians have that I once laughed at and agreed with to some degree
Yes, you nailed it with this comment. I follow a lot of comedians here and there, but Bill Burr is the main guy I've followed consistently. There is something unique about the fucking lunatic and I wish I had more of this type of personality in life. Everyone around me is so fake and too afraid to actually say what needs to be said. I am so happy Bill was able to carve out a successful career and not get thrown to the wayside by the newer generations of sensitive and inclusive people.
@@vlogily8043 I suspect much of it is pretend. Bill is quick witted and pokes fun at everyone's insecurities whether real or perceived. He roasts everyone, including himself.
@@kepler656I feel that about fake people, I have a friend that's really a nice guy, but he always says what's on his mind regardless of who's in the room, and I respect him for that. Most people aren't like that, and I know I'm guilty of dialing down what I'm saying since I'm not very confident and non-confrontational, and I respect people that can hold their own like Bill Burr.
If you get the chance, check out Bill Burr having a conversation with one of the comedians that he started out with, like Louie CK. You can hear him open with somebody he's comfortable talking to and you can tell he has the biggest heart possible. It can bring a genuinely warm smile to your face when you can hear him talking to someone he's actually close to and he can't hide how much that person's well being and place in the universe really mean something to Bill. It's touching and unmistakably genuine.
Bill is what I imagine a NY fireman or construction worker is. He's just tough and has a good heart, but he's got a lot of armor. A lot of comedians come from rough upbringing and use comedy to cope.
The reason Bill succeeded in that Philly set so much is because he reacted in a way that Philadelphia would act, and that’s why they lived it. Like he said about always hating compliments. Responded harshly to Philly, and they loved it
Bill seems pretty genuine, and even if he made a situation or person uncomfortable, he tries to make it right. Weather behind closed doors or on screen. I didn't really know about how "bad" Ethans first podcast with Bill was, I only heard about it, but when I was into Bill's podcast a couple years ago, I would've never guessed because Bill said he went to a party and he ran into Ethan and Hela from H3H3 and said that he loves the hell out of them
His rant in Philadelphia is one of the best things I have ever seen. He was extremely intelligent in how he insulted them and it was funny. The situation also warranted that response from him.
I was embarrassed for Bill. The Philly rant was a new low for humanity. If it's "one of the best things you have ever seen," then your life must be a living hell.
@@StarkEpiphany : We all are ignorant of Hell, but day by day we descend nearer to its gates. Let the things of Hell remain behind its gates and let the things of love permeate our world - the world of the Living. May greed, hate, violence, and evil, be cast away and may loving kindness abound and goodness reign.
I always recognized Burrs attitude. When all of your family and friends are constantly making fun of you since birth, you just think its normal and harmless. But then it gets YOU in trouble and you're left confused. Bill leaned into it hard but tries to be normal, while for me I entirely rejected that attitude
"When all of your family and friends are constantly making fun of you since birth, you just think its normal and harmless." Not the case for those that have better relationships outside their family and grow up seeing how shitty their life is. I'd probably have ended myself if not for my friends loving and valuing me so much, unlike my family.
No way people do not constantly bust their families balls like all the time. Not saying its bad if you don't but the idea of not waking up in the morning and calling everyone I love a shithead loser is crazy to me and I'm legit not trying to be "edgy" that's just how we do it lol.
@@cosmonauthal7651 you do you, but there's a line for everyone where it's no longer "I'm just joking". I used to think it was fine, but now I see it as a weakness. Speak more honestly for a while and the whole dynamic shifts
I appreciate how you allow the subject to do the talking, and when you talk, you actually give context or provide your own interpretation, but you don't over-do it. It's also helpful that you use different clips to further your thoughts and provide evidence instead of just giving your opinion. So many creators talk and talk and talk because they like hearing themselves without realizing that viewers watch these videos because they love the comedians! Keep it up, my friend.
Burr saying "suck it up" is tearing theo von up? The author demonises burr, while showing clips of him having a conversation. Maybe he's a lil too straightforward but it's not like he is insulting them
@@MatviiCheked you see that’s the problem with why so many men end up killing themselves is because they’re told to just tough it out. And I don’t care what bullshit reason you have to say why depression isn’t real, science would like to disagree with you
It's my long time dream to see Bill on the FLAGRANT pod. As a former fan of the pod, I used to think it'd be great content. Seeing the current direction it's headed in, Andrew needs a massive reality check that only Bill can deliver.
@@danariola9169 They used to feel like genuine people you might meet at a party. Now Andrew has turned into this douchey Hollywood comedian that he used to dunk on before and the rest of the crew is too pussy to fully push back against him like they used to. He's so far removed from reality and how the average person lives that he feels like a parody of the "privileged American big-city podcast comedian" trope.
The reason I like Bill Burr (apart from his comedy) is because he takes roasts people, but he's never needlessly nasty. One thing about the H3H3 interview is klein was bad mouthing people and tried to get Bill to join in - I think he was surprised that Burr wasn't having any of it.
The fact he got pissed off with that roasting show literally just proves that he's not an asshole and just has a social style that isn't for everyone. The moment he sensed a genuine injustice and felt like bullying was going on he shut it down and called it out. As if I didn't have enough respect for this man, it has been enhanced by just finding this out.
it's not bullying though, it's literally the format of the show. it's like going to a roast battle and then complain that all the comedians are being mean to each other...
@@zwenkwiel816 yeah, or like complaining about being judged by the stars on a talent show or something. It's literally the entire point, if the guy couldn't take it then he clearly bit off more than he could chew and Burr coming to the defence only makes that more apparent, he got babied and people are applauding it. Wild.
His biggest fear is dying as an old grumpy man. He already became the thing he is afraid of. Not someone I'd enjoy being around. Lots of his stuff is genuinely funny but in 99% of his interviews he just comes off as a huge asshole and people explain it with "he's just being himself and he always says what he thinks". TARS said it best: "Absolute honesty isn't always the most diplomatic, nor the safest form of communication with emotional beings."
I've actually met Bill Burr after a rare UK show (Liverpool), and he is actually really friendly and has time for his fans. I'm not somebody who gets starstruck or anything like that, I just spoke to him about Drumming and our mutual appreciation for Meshuggah 😂😂 but even if to him it was just 5 minutes of his day, it made my year. I'd imagine if I were the type to blow smoke up his ass he wouldn't have been so friendly and I agree with him on that in that case. Brown Nosers suck.
It makes a lot more sense when you realize he is a very intellectual, well traveled individual, who is very quick to point out brutal irony in society. For him, seeing a quite successful new comedian complain about the hard work is ridiculous, and he reprimands him for it. Basically, the guy is just real about life at all times, he expects people living relatively "easy" lifestyles to work just like everyone else, its fine to have issues, but, everyone does. Get over it. That's Bill burr.
@@maasman240I get what you're saying but Theo had been struggling with depression. What Bill said obviously felt like a stab to the heart. Look at how his face dropped after the funeral jab. Not only that Theo was looking forward to having him on. It was just uncalled for and disrespectful.
@@maasman240 to be an intellectual is to have tact. Burr is smart but he isnt an intellectual. He goes off on people like a dog, and is strangely sensitive. That theo stuff was simply Burr being grumpy and somewhat unprofessional. It was not enjoyable to watch, not coming from a place of comedy or even polite help. Speaking to theo like that when they do not know each other comes with an bit of arrogance.
@Wassenhoven420 Oh, for sure, I wasn't saying he had 0 flaws, it's just good to make sure you get the intent behind his words. He's a dick, but an overall good man? Probably. I also know there are multiple examples of him apologizing after crossing the line in the past, that's a trait I value as it shows some modicum of self awareness that is very much lacking in Hollywood
@@maasman240 I hear that, i think its very good he apologized in those instances. I give you credit we must have thick skin and more importantly be able to garner intent with peoples words.
Burr is on the same level as Carlin with knowing wtf is going on in society. He's much smarter than he comes across. His common sense is off the charts tbh. That's why he's beloved, everyone can relate to him 100%.
All Bill said to Philadelphians were things we've been hearing our entirely lives. Not only were we not offended by it, we loved it because he had to balls to do that in today's world where everything is so puritan and fake. You have to applaud that.
His fight with Patrice was truly sad. They were good friends, but after that fight Bill never really got to talk to him again, all the way till Patrice died.
Bill Burr improv is incredible it feels like he freezes time, goes and writes a 1 hour joke about something or someone and comes back and resumes time and says the joke
He already had therapy and already had anti depressants at home he just didn't want to take them as he was fearing it would affect his work. Bill just made him realize he really needs them. It was a wakeupcall and not the reason why he needed them in the first place.
Ethan had those antidepressants on his nightstand for years because they were recommended by his doctor but he didn't want to take them. Bill Burrs interview was the final push to take them but he was depressed for a very long time before it
You need people like Burr in the world. Theyre that friend that talks shit 99% of the time, take low blows, make fun of you infront of your dates and stuff, regulate people around you or you yourself when you say some stupid shit.....but then when things get serious and you need a friend, hell be the best of friends and be there for you no matter what. Gotta love Burr.
Imagine roasting the entirety of philadelphia . Bro is a beast 💪😂 End of day Bill is genuinely a nice person who standup for others and go above and beyond ❤️
I dont know how bill burr can walk out on stage and go guns blazing against 1000 plus angry people for 20 minutes. Dude is a legend. Very sharp guy too. Him and carlin are my favorite commedians.
Bill is the only comedian that genuinely made me cry. It was because how brutally honest he was when he talked about how he had to give his dog away to another owner and his pain was so real that it almost broke me. An absolute legend!
Yeah, that was sad, especially if you've watched his earlier stand up special where he talks about how much he loved that pitbull and how much fun they were having
@johnprager662 no, they were having a baby and the dog was too rowdy. He talks about his wife crying ever day up until the day they have to part with the dog.
I think Bill is mad insecure, but that's what makes him such an incredible comedian. He's totally in touch with his short comings, his fuse is short and he's sensitive. All of those things make for a top tier comedian.
he is, he's VERY open about being insecure like how he said paraphrasing "im more afraid of a hug than I am a fist" because thats how his life was. He's always expressed his insecurities through various mediums and even goes into depth about how thats what really kickstarted his comedy even becoming comedic effect for him to use. The only thing YOU DONT say about bill is anything relative to his family, he will legit fight you, otherwise its all jokes.
Bill wasn't offended by that first interviewers question, he was busting his balls for how sloppy the question was 😂 You don't understand Bill's humor if you think that was him actual being offended ... He was definitely taking offense to being booed or interrupted 😂
I'm a cyclist and Bill made fun of cyclists one of the times on Joe Rogan's podcast. I was listening to it while driving. I laughed so hard I almost crashed. Some people just take it too personally. I would LOOOOOOVE getting roasted by Bill Burr.
Bill isn't just being abrasive for the sake of it, he's abrasive because he's frustrated on why people don't normally talk about certain things that are out in the open.
18:54 I love how Bill creates a shield around the new comics. He is correct. 1 minute is a long time. nobody can just be funny in 1 minute. He takes a jab at you, when he knows you are gonna far. Telling the other guy that hes a psycho and hes gonna have his own show one day. Big respect to Bill.
I love bills stand up he’s one of my favs. But the way he answers certain questions definitely comes from a place of insecurity but he also has a way of turning those insecure answers into a joke.
@@PeteQuadAmen… It doesn’t hurt the viewer personally and when it is aimed at their demographic it’s soft af He manages to stay in a safe zone where he backs off with his serious stuff because you’re allowed to call it bullying, he goes soft on people that do trivial things and goes hard on people no one likes of will defend I personally think he’s a massive cunt The worst type of bullies are those who won’t even own it. Of course they don’t see it as a problem cos they enjoy it. If someone who’s like him, did all the same to him, he’d be throwing punches When someone started bullying that comedian he got heated af and aggressive and it was all cos he felt endeared and it wasn’t okay to do what he does to things he likes
Seems like he has no problem making himself out to be the joke. Obviously no one was thinking what he was when being asked those questions he brought it one himself.
Bill's first criticism to Theo was some shit he needed to hear. Every comedian thinks they should be a headliner, and has a phase of "I shouldn't have to open for somebody..." Bill, though, had a greatly humble beginning in comedy's mainstream: he regularly opened for Patrice. Sometimes, you've just got to accept that you're never going to be the funniest person in the room if certain people are in that room with you. Theo struggles with that. Bill told him that he has to get over it.
so much respect for Bill! A guy that actually cares about others and had to grind and come up with jokes that made him a legend! Even if he is a bit harsh sometimes
Not really, but even if it was, Burr has sometimes proved to actually be harsh. There was some episode with Jim Gaffigan i saw that was just awful on Bill's part. It was insulting and NO comedy. I hope he has learned some manners. @@theoriginalmonstermaker
@terjehansen0101 I VERY much doubt he intended to insult Jim (unless they have some previous beef Im unfamiliar with); with that being said, I never said he wasn't "harsh", just that ANYONE interested in comedy shouldn't even have that word in their lexicon when discussing comedy. Ppl are straight rude to Bill regularly; he doesn't throw a fit, he doesn't whine on socmed or publish "news " stories about his poor, hurt "feelings" (though he will probably talk shht back). And, he is one of the most real, true, emphatic and considerate ppl I've heard perform/ talk, i wouldn't think he actually WANTS to offend anyone. If anyone is "hurt" by his remarks, they have NO PLACE in comedy.... but I disagree with the concept of "offense" on its face; the things that offend are either lies, and irrelevant, or truth, in which case the onus isn't on the remarker for your hurt "feelings", bc if you're hurt when ppl observe you for what you are, the onus is on you to change. Noone should have the power to offend you, unless facing the truths of "you"causes embarrassment; so maybe we should change the lexicon from "offended" to "embarrassed" ..... and THAT is the REAL issue; our modern world, which goes around constantly offended is in fact, unhappy with themselves. It's not their fault, society and social interaction has been disrupted by ppl's need to be constantly seen (and they're socially anxious bc they are well aware their socmed "life" doesn't reflect their REAL life).
@@theoriginalmonstermaker I mean first I don't see why you think every comedian is or would have to be "harsh"? I mean that is a perfectly valid form of humor there but it's not like there aren't a ton of jokes that have nothing to do with that either? It's odd you think there is only one way to be funny to people. Next I'm not sure why it matters how rude others are? If you want to be rude, be rude, but don't make excuses like other people control you. They can give you "reasons" but they can't be to blame. Next...this is just parasocial, I don't know what else to say about this? You don't know Bill and Bill doesn't know you so you don't know if he's "one of the most real, true, emphatic and considerate ppl I've heard perform/ talk. "? Like maybe he is, maybe he isn't but legit we just see his public persona? The next bit about people being hurt is just...what? Like it seems like you believe all human beings think alike? You're aware what is true for you isn't true for others when it comes to mentality, thoughts, and even the function of people's brains, right? Like if other people apply YOUR personal justifications and philosophy to *their* lives they'd be miserable because, for example, some people are capable of genuine empathy or of "righteous indignation" or simply don't believe they deserve to be a punching bag. Your ideas aren't like bad or anything I just find it odd you think they even COULD apply to anyone but yourself. This is how *you* see the world and what is true *for you*, not a set of facts or actual truths...
@VoxVictus First of all, in rereading this exchange, I'm most annoyed with all my spelling errors in the initial rant... I'm having trouble focusing on anything else : ) But yeah, I can't disagree with most of what you said so I'll say this; even though they aren't always accurate, ppl tend to perceive and discuss things in generalizations (I just made one right there). Even a mostly "true" thing would need a list of amendments to have its essence squeezed properly into words. But you're right; not all comedy is "harsh", we can't know Bill's non-public persona with certainty, and all ppl have differences (more specifically, their brains operate fundamentally different).
Bill is hilarious. He is just as hard on himself as he is others and I think, for Bill, it's all for the sake of laughs! He always takes a bit of truth, expands on it (sometimes to the extreme) and makes you realize just how stupid (or hilarious) that truth can sometimes be. Honestly, I think the Philly crowd loved it. He came out guns ablazing and you could see the change from boos to cheers quite quickly! His ability to improv is what kept it going and that he kept counting down his time, added to the hilariousness!
As a Brit I totally understand his brash comedy, basically the same sort of conversations you would expect with your friends or 'pub talk'. Just don't take it seriously and you will find it wayyy more funny
What he did in Philadelphia is legendary and takes balls of steel. Bill is a legend and will always be remembered as the guy that kept throwing punches to the soft cry babies of this generation.
6:36 not gonna lie I’ve heard bill rip into those chairs several times over the years on audio and when it cut to him just sitting there and I saw the visual I started dieing laughing 😂
Bill's a ball-buster. If you've ever met one of these people you need to be able to take a proper roasting and, so long as it's in good spirit, learn from it. The first few seconds of watching Theo complain about his tour grind I was like "Ahhhh shit. Bill is sensitive to this". Bill bitches about his own tours but every time I've heard it he usually acknowledges he's blessed as an MFer to have the opportunity to bitch about it.
For sure. He's principled. You get genuineness from him and he expects genuineness from others, when he doesn't get it that's when the gloves come off and he forces it out.
Bill is the voice of truth. His delivery isn’t for the weak but it is, along with his train of thought, steeped in brutal honesty, genuine intelligence and his own life experiences (good or not so great). Theo nailed Burr, along with his own character traits, post their “polarizing” interaction. He reminds me of George Carlin, and I love that for this new generation. Time to toughen up boys and girls.
People like you believing they’re strong for liking the male Kathy griffin.. I bet you all don’t make women cum or exercise even slightly, cool sense of humour tho
Bill is actually one of the most well-versed sports fans I’ve ever seen. Colin gets under his skin because his takes are just so outlandish. He needs Bill for that quick reality check.

The more you sit back and 'absorb', the more dangerous you become.

“Some people think Bill is the insecure one” He is insecure. He’s talked about his insecurities before. It’s birthed some of his best comedic insights. One of the reasons he’s able to maintain his perspective and roast people regularly is because he lets his insecurities be known.
also this video completely misses the fact that Bill Burr is playing on his insecurities for comedic effect.

He's old school and came up through comedy the hard way, that's why he doesn't have a lot of patience for people being unprofessional.
That's fucking hilarious though.
He should try to be more patient to newcomers, they have got learn sometimes. I would swap comedian/actor all the time, because it doesn't show a ranking, that which is more, but after this I would have learnt, that some peoole would be offended by swapping it. But I would also expect a more formal response, that "I prefer comedian/actor, since I am first of all a comedian"...

@@ItsMe-sg5owwhy you should never look up to TH-camrs lmao they live in an alternative reality when they make it big smh.

@@jackryan4313hope you never get a mental illness just to hear people on the internet making fun of you for it. Classy.
I dont think it was Burr that bummed him out. Rather Ethans effort to make the show great, which he felt he failed to do.
He's his own worst enemy
I've seen a lot of Bills Burrs interviews and that does seem possible.
Watching this is like watching a normal conversation between friends in Lancashire (and Yorkshire). Blunt, brutal, sarcastic and yet will listen to you rant for hours to get what it is off your chest.
You can see in that last bit that Bill isn't a bully, he’s happy to tear into people so long as they either a) Can take it or b) Had it coming. When someone seems uncomfortable and has just died he’d feel like a prick to tear into them but if they just did a good set and seem confident, he can let them have it with the confidence that they will take it well. The people on that show who tear everybody down equally, seem to lack empathy and many might be looking to belittle others to make themselves feel bigger.
Exactly!
Lisa Lampanelli, Jeffrey Ross, the late Greg Giraldo, the late Patrice o'Neal are/were like that too, they're old school roasters with a soul. They are not cynical like Colbert, for example.
He not just voices what's in his mind, he also voices what's in the people's head as well😂
Not just what's in people's heads - Burr is a comedic genius because he gives words to feelings and perspectives that many people have had for a long time but could not explain. It takes a lot of effort to distill and capture the present moment and that's what makes comedy magic.
Its what comedians do in the same way that philosophers do.
I've followed Bill's career for a long time.
If you really want to know why he is the way he is then look up what the cellar table was.
There are plenty of stories about comics genuinely avoiding that table in the comedy cellar where a certain group of comics would sit and roast the hell out of each other to the point of some walking out genuinely upset.
It toughened comics up but it can also have the opposite effect of causing a normally easygoing fun loving person into an aggressive overly guarded person at times.
In today's comedy climate it's become obsolete with everyone encouraged to be supportive and he's one of the few of that group still working, says yes to as many podcasts as he can to keep in touch with today's comedy audience as well as bringing his large audience to comedy newcomers.
You need to remember this was a kid who grew up in the 70's where you HAD to be tougher and talking to someone younger, more sensitive will occasionally provoke someone older to dish out some tough love like he got.
I have no doubt most of today's comedians would not have lasted being roasted nearly nightly by comics like Patrice O Neal, Jim Norton, Rich Vos, Colin Quinn and many more and would have walked out feeling like they were bullied.
That culture has basically gone and I'm not saying that's a good or a bad thing but you can see the damage it's done to Bill on the very rare occasion where he gets exasperated by a younger comedians question
But he usually makes it funny even if he’s upset, somehow he’s offensive but it’s still funny, there’s some irony and sarcasm behind it, it’s still passive aggressive to full on aggressive but it’s humorous so its unclear if he’s really upset by things or just pretending to be, he’s very quick witted and like Theo said very brash, it’s astounding he hasn’t gotten cancelled outright or has had a major scandal against him, I’m sorta waiting to see if he do some type of turn I won’t like as a lot of comedians have that I once laughed at and agreed with to some degree
It's definitely a bad thing. Most of the new comics are lame. Everyone at the cellar was a legend. All diamonds are created from pressure
Yes, you nailed it with this comment. I follow a lot of comedians here and there, but Bill Burr is the main guy I've followed consistently. There is something unique about the fucking lunatic and I wish I had more of this type of personality in life. Everyone around me is so fake and too afraid to actually say what needs to be said. I am so happy Bill was able to carve out a successful career and not get thrown to the wayside by the newer generations of sensitive and inclusive people.
@@vlogily8043 I suspect much of it is pretend. Bill is quick witted and pokes fun at everyone's insecurities whether real or perceived. He roasts everyone, including himself.
@@kepler656I feel that about fake people, I have a friend that's really a nice guy, but he always says what's on his mind regardless of who's in the room, and I respect him for that. Most people aren't like that, and I know I'm guilty of dialing down what I'm saying since I'm not very confident and non-confrontational, and I respect people that can hold their own like Bill Burr.
If you get the chance, check out Bill Burr having a conversation with one of the comedians that he started out with, like Louie CK. You can hear him open with somebody he's comfortable talking to and you can tell he has the biggest heart possible. It can bring a genuinely warm smile to your face when you can hear him talking to someone he's actually close to and he can't hide how much that person's well being and place in the universe really mean something to Bill. It's touching and unmistakably genuine.
Bill is what I imagine a NY fireman or construction worker is. He's just tough and has a good heart, but he's got a lot of armor. A lot of comedians come from rough upbringing and use comedy to cope.
Wrong buddy he’s a Boston guy
@@Brantonellis Yeah, in hind sight, I should have said New England.
@@Brantonelliswhich explains a shit ton more than us guessing. He was great in king of staten island. To be a A list comic you’ve gotta be tough
I don't think his "heart" is as pure as you think. He's a run of the mill narcissistic Republican, and by definition conservatives don't have hearts.
does a fireman or construction worker live on a FUTON!?
The reason Bill succeeded in that Philly set so much is because he reacted in a way that Philadelphia would act, and that’s why they lived it. Like he said about always hating compliments. Responded harshly to Philly, and they loved it
Bill seems pretty genuine, and even if he made a situation or person uncomfortable, he tries to make it right. Weather behind closed doors or on screen. I didn't really know about how "bad" Ethans first podcast with Bill was, I only heard about it, but when I was into Bill's podcast a couple years ago, I would've never guessed because Bill said he went to a party and he ran into Ethan and Hela from H3H3 and said that he loves the hell out of them
Lmaooo Bill Burr will find your Ego like a G spot n completely destroy it😂😂😂😂 feeling mad violated lol
His rant in Philadelphia is one of the best things I have ever seen. He was extremely intelligent in how he insulted them and it was funny. The situation also warranted that response from him.
I was embarrassed for Bill. The Philly rant was a new low for humanity. If it's "one of the best things you have ever seen," then your life must be a living hell.

Opie and Anthony, baby!
The craziest part is he beat the audience down until they were on his side.
I always recognized Burrs attitude. When all of your family and friends are constantly making fun of you since birth, you just think its normal and harmless. But then it gets YOU in trouble and you're left confused. Bill leaned into it hard but tries to be normal, while for me I entirely rejected that attitude
"When all of your family and friends are constantly making fun of you since birth, you just think its normal and harmless."
Not the case for those that have better relationships outside their family and grow up seeing how shitty their life is. I'd probably have ended myself if not for my friends loving and valuing me so much, unlike my family.
@@Jerepasaurusok puss paints no need to be a crybaby about it
No way people do not constantly bust their families balls like all the time. Not saying its bad if you don't but the idea of not waking up in the morning and calling everyone I love a shithead loser is crazy to me and I'm legit not trying to be "edgy" that's just how we do it lol.

I appreciate how you allow the subject to do the talking, and when you talk, you actually give context or provide your own interpretation, but you don't over-do it. It's also helpful that you use different clips to further your thoughts and provide evidence instead of just giving your opinion. So many creators talk and talk and talk because they like hearing themselves without realizing that viewers watch these videos because they love the comedians! Keep it up, my friend.
theo von seems so genuine and humble. it was hard to watch bill tear him up like that. theo does great interviews
Yeah I wonder why that seemed hard to watch. Maybe because you saw an old hateful bitch attack a young fan on his own cast.
He really is but I'd argue he's not a very good interviewer, he only makes it work because he's also funny.
Burr saying "suck it up" is tearing theo von up? The author demonises burr, while showing clips of him having a conversation. Maybe he's a lil too straightforward but it's not like he is insulting them
@Mutterschwein well i think its framed differently, they both talk about their experiences and then it leads into important parts of the characters

It's my long time dream to see Bill on the FLAGRANT pod. As a former fan of the pod, I used to think it'd be great content. Seeing the current direction it's headed in, Andrew needs a massive reality check that only Bill can deliver.
Only started listening to Flagrant. Would you mind telling me how or what about it has changed?
Andrew used to have honest clever observations. Now he feels like a hack.
@@danariola9169 They used to feel like genuine people you might meet at a party. Now Andrew has turned into this douchey Hollywood comedian that he used to dunk on before and the rest of the crew is too pussy to fully push back against him like they used to.

@@calebverdu3091Also to add that now he attacks every guests. With low blows and other dirty sh*t. You go from a guests to a punching bag
😂 hell yeah. He can start with the shaved side burns thing
The reason I like Bill Burr (apart from his comedy) is because he takes roasts people, but he's never needlessly nasty. One thing about the H3H3 interview is klein was bad mouthing people and tried to get Bill to join in - I think he was surprised that Burr wasn't having any of it.
The fact he got pissed off with that roasting show literally just proves that he's not an asshole and just has a social style that isn't for everyone. The moment he sensed a genuine injustice and felt like bullying was going on he shut it down and called it out. As if I didn't have enough respect for this man, it has been enhanced by just finding this out.
The meaner it is, the funnier it has to be. If it's mean without being funny, it's just shitty.
it's not bullying though, it's literally the format of the show. it's like going to a roast battle and then complain that all the comedians are being mean to each other...
@@zwenkwiel816 yeah, or like complaining about being judged by the stars on a talent show or something. It's literally the entire point, if the guy couldn't take it then he clearly bit off more than he could chew and Burr coming to the defence only makes that more apparent, he got babied and people are applauding it. Wild.
@@zwenkwiel816the format of the show is a negative nugget and just brings laughs to shitty ppl
@@Dr.Succ0 so don't watch it...
Bill Burr has become the "Old Married Guy" that he used to joke about early in his career.
His biggest fear is dying as an old grumpy man. He already became the thing he is afraid of. Not someone I'd enjoy being around. Lots of his stuff is genuinely funny but in 99% of his interviews he just comes off as a huge asshole and people explain it with "he's just being himself and he always says what he thinks".
TARS said it best: "Absolute honesty isn't always the most diplomatic, nor the safest form of communication with emotional beings."
@@Hightower2804TPbc those people want to hear what they want to hear is understand if Bill didn’t give himself the same honesty as everyone else
A woke old creep. If Patrice were alive he’d roast it out of him but there’s no more bullies to tell him how soft he is now.
Yeah yeah his wife flipped of your orange overlord we get it y'all are hurt in the ashole
I've actually met Bill Burr after a rare UK show (Liverpool), and he is actually really friendly and has time for his fans. I'm not somebody who gets starstruck or anything like that, I just spoke to him about Drumming and our mutual appreciation for Meshuggah 😂😂 but even if to him it was just 5 minutes of his day, it made my year. I'd imagine if I were the type to blow smoke up his ass he wouldn't have been so friendly and I agree with him on that in that case. Brown Nosers suck.
Bill went full on "Drunk dad taking out their anger on their son" on Theo, damn.
I'm not even a fan of Theo, but that was a bizarre interaction.
It makes a lot more sense when you realize he is a very intellectual, well traveled individual, who is very quick to point out brutal irony in society. For him, seeing a quite successful new comedian complain about the hard work is ridiculous, and he reprimands him for it. Basically, the guy is just real about life at all times, he expects people living relatively "easy" lifestyles to work just like everyone else, its fine to have issues, but, everyone does. Get over it. That's Bill burr.
@@maasman240I get what you're saying but Theo had been struggling with depression. What Bill said obviously felt like a stab to the heart. Look at how his face dropped after the funeral jab. Not only that Theo was looking forward to having him on. It was just uncalled for and disrespectful.
@@maasman240 to be an intellectual is to have tact. Burr is smart but he isnt an intellectual. He goes off on people like a dog, and is strangely sensitive. That theo stuff was simply Burr being grumpy and somewhat unprofessional. It was not enjoyable to watch, not coming from a place of comedy or even polite help. Speaking to theo like that when they do not know each other comes with an bit of arrogance.
@Wassenhoven420 Oh, for sure, I wasn't saying he had 0 flaws, it's just good to make sure you get the intent behind his words. He's a dick, but an overall good man? Probably. I also know there are multiple examples of him apologizing after crossing the line in the past, that's a trait I value as it shows some modicum of self awareness that is very much lacking in Hollywood
@@maasman240 I hear that, i think its very good he apologized in those instances. I give you credit we must have thick skin and more importantly be able to garner intent with peoples words.
Burr is on the same level as Carlin with knowing wtf is going on in society. He's much smarter than he comes across. His common sense is off the charts tbh. That's why he's beloved, everyone can relate to him 100%.
Carlin would consider Burr a moron for his takes on the opposite sex.
All Bill said to Philadelphians were things we've been hearing our entirely lives. Not only were we not offended by it, we loved it because he had to balls to do that in today's world where everything is so puritan and fake. You have to applaud that.
He did that 17 years ago in 2006.

@@moonknight4053 Yep the video "Patrice O’Neal & Bill Burr Get In Heated Argument" should cover a good amount of it.
Bill Burr improv is incredible
it feels like he freezes time, goes and writes a 1 hour joke about something or someone and comes back and resumes time and says the joke
“Bill burr made me go to therapy” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He already had therapy and already had anti depressants at home he just didn't want to take them as he was fearing it would affect his work. Bill just made him realize he really needs them. It was a wakeupcall and not the reason why he needed them in the first place.
“Bill was mean to me once so I got prescribed antidepressants.”
Only time Ethan made me laugh
Ethan had those antidepressants on his nightstand for years because they were recommended by his doctor but he didn't want to take them.
Bill Burrs interview was the final push to take them but he was depressed for a very long time before it

I dont know how bill burr can walk out on stage and go guns blazing against 1000 plus angry people for 20 minutes. Dude is a legend. Very sharp guy too. Him and carlin are my favorite commedians.
1000? Did you see that crowd? Try 10,000!
He's a wrestling fan. It's just going heel.
Both are great. Bill Hicks is in my top three as well.
You nailed just about every reason I love Bill Burr. He's the ideal mix of "enlightened man" and "GET OFF MY LAWN" and not everyone sees that.
Bill is the only comedian that genuinely made me cry. It was because how brutally honest he was when he talked about how he had to give his dog away to another owner and his pain was so real that it almost broke me. An absolute legend!
His podcast is a million times better than his act. His act is good but his podcast is that much better
Yeah, that was sad, especially if you've watched his earlier stand up special where he talks about how much he loved that pitbull and how much fun they were having
Didn't his wife force him to give away the dog?
@johnprager662 no, they were having a baby and the dog was too rowdy. He talks about his wife crying ever day up until the day they have to part with the dog.
You ever see him talk about his dad giving him a doll for Christmas? Heartbreaking dude.
I think Bill is mad insecure, but that's what makes him such an incredible comedian. He's totally in touch with his short comings, his fuse is short and he's sensitive. All of those things make for a top tier comedian.
he is, he's VERY open about being insecure like how he said paraphrasing "im more afraid of a hug than I am a fist" because thats how his life was. He's always expressed his insecurities through various mediums and even goes into depth about how thats what really kickstarted his comedy even becoming comedic effect for him to use. The only thing YOU DONT say about bill is anything relative to his family, he will legit fight you, otherwise its all jokes.
I love the Ethan podcast. Bill didn't even give him a hard time and Ethan acted like it was the lowest point of his life.
Ethan has become insufferable
@@michaelgonzalez3523facts.

Bill wasn't offended by that first interviewers question, he was busting his balls for how sloppy the question was 😂 You don't understand Bill's humor if you think that was him actual being offended ... He was definitely taking offense to being booed or interrupted 😂
Burr is in a league of his own. He's at peace with himself in a way that most people don't achieve until they are at the end of their lives.
I'm a cyclist and Bill made fun of cyclists one of the times on Joe Rogan's podcast. I was listening to it while driving. I laughed so hard I almost crashed. Some people just take it too personally. I would LOOOOOOVE getting roasted by Bill Burr.

18:54 I love how Bill creates a shield around the new comics. He is correct. 1 minute is a long time. nobody can just be funny in 1 minute. He takes a jab at you, when he knows you are gonna far. Telling the other guy that hes a psycho and hes gonna have his own show one day. Big respect to Bill.

@@PeteQuadAmen… It doesn’t hurt the viewer personally and when it is aimed at their demographic it’s soft af

I personally think he’s a massive cunt
The worst type of bullies are those who won’t even own it. Of course they don’t see it as a problem cos they enjoy it. If someone who’s like him, did all the same to him, he’d be throwing punches
When someone started bullying that comedian he got heated af and aggressive and it was all cos he felt endeared and it wasn’t okay to do what he does to things he likes
@@PeteQuad uhhh, yep, there is. Don Rickles made an entire career riding that line.
@@Baronnax yeah I prefer Bill Burr to Don Rickles.
Seems like he has no problem making himself out to be the joke. Obviously no one was thinking what he was when being asked those questions he brought it one himself.
Bill's first criticism to Theo was some shit he needed to hear. Every comedian thinks they should be a headliner, and has a phase of "I shouldn't have to open for somebody..." Bill, though, had a greatly humble beginning in comedy's mainstream: he regularly opened for Patrice. Sometimes, you've just got to accept that you're never going to be the funniest person in the room if certain people are in that room with you. Theo struggles with that. Bill told him that he has to get over it.
Fuck opening for patrice, he had to do shitty gigs at restaurants where people didn't even know there was gonna be comedy. That is brutal
I read the title and thought some devastating news was gonna come out about my favorite comedian. Glad nothing has changed :]
so much respect for Bill! A guy that actually cares about others and had to grind and come up with jokes that made him a legend! Even if he is a bit harsh sometimes
"Harsh" shouldn't exist in relation to comedy. That is the foundation it stands on.
Not really, but even if it was, Burr has sometimes proved to actually be harsh. There was some episode with Jim Gaffigan i saw that was just awful on Bill's part. It was insulting and NO comedy. I hope he has learned some manners. @@theoriginalmonstermaker
@terjehansen0101 I VERY much doubt he intended to insult Jim (unless they have some previous beef Im unfamiliar with); with that being said, I never said he wasn't "harsh", just that ANYONE interested in comedy shouldn't even have that word in their lexicon when discussing comedy.
Ppl are straight rude to Bill regularly; he doesn't throw a fit, he doesn't whine on socmed or publish "news " stories about his poor, hurt "feelings" (though he will probably talk shht back). And, he is one of the most real, true, emphatic and considerate ppl I've heard perform/ talk, i wouldn't think he actually WANTS to offend anyone.
If anyone is "hurt" by his remarks, they have NO PLACE in comedy.... but I disagree with the concept of "offense" on its face; the things that offend are either lies, and irrelevant, or truth, in which case the onus isn't on the remarker for your hurt "feelings", bc if you're hurt when ppl observe you for what you are, the onus is on you to change.
Noone should have the power to offend you, unless facing the truths of "you"causes embarrassment; so maybe we should change the lexicon from "offended" to "embarrassed"
..... and THAT is the REAL issue; our modern world, which goes around constantly offended is in fact, unhappy with themselves. It's not their fault, society and social interaction has been disrupted by ppl's need to be constantly seen (and they're socially anxious bc they are well aware their socmed "life" doesn't reflect their REAL life).
@@theoriginalmonstermaker I mean first I don't see why you think every comedian is or would have to be "harsh"? I mean that is a perfectly valid form of humor there but it's not like there aren't a ton of jokes that have nothing to do with that either? It's odd you think there is only one way to be funny to people.
Next I'm not sure why it matters how rude others are? If you want to be rude, be rude, but don't make excuses like other people control you. They can give you "reasons" but they can't be to blame.
Next...this is just parasocial, I don't know what else to say about this? You don't know Bill and Bill doesn't know you so you don't know if he's "one of the most real, true, emphatic and considerate ppl I've heard perform/ talk. "? Like maybe he is, maybe he isn't but legit we just see his public persona?
The next bit about people being hurt is just...what? Like it seems like you believe all human beings think alike? You're aware what is true for you isn't true for others when it comes to mentality, thoughts, and even the function of people's brains, right? Like if other people apply YOUR personal justifications and philosophy to *their* lives they'd be miserable because, for example, some people are capable of genuine empathy or of "righteous indignation" or simply don't believe they deserve to be a punching bag. Your ideas aren't like bad or anything I just find it odd you think they even COULD apply to anyone but yourself. This is how *you* see the world and what is true *for you*, not a set of facts or actual truths...
@VoxVictus First of all, in rereading this exchange, I'm most annoyed with all my spelling errors in the initial rant... I'm having trouble focusing on anything else : )
But yeah, I can't disagree with most of what you said so I'll say this; even though they aren't always accurate, ppl tend to perceive and discuss things in generalizations (I just made one right there). Even a mostly "true" thing would need a list of amendments to have its essence squeezed properly into words.
But you're right; not all comedy is "harsh", we can't know Bill's non-public persona with certainty, and all ppl have differences (more specifically, their brains operate fundamentally different).
Bill is hilarious. He is just as hard on himself as he is others and I think, for Bill, it's all for the sake of laughs! He always takes a bit of truth, expands on it (sometimes to the extreme) and makes you realize just how stupid (or hilarious) that truth can sometimes be.
Honestly, I think the Philly crowd loved it. He came out guns ablazing and you could see the change from boos to cheers quite quickly! His ability to improv is what kept it going and that he kept counting down his time, added to the hilariousness!
At what point was he ever as hard on himself as he is with Theo or Joe?

@@VitaKet you’ve got your European stereotypes mixed up bud. You couldn’t even point out Britain on a map.
What he did in Philadelphia is legendary and takes balls of steel.
Bill is a legend and will always be remembered as the guy that kept throwing punches to the soft cry babies of this generation.
If you think this generation is any more full of crybabies than past generations, you're full of shit.
6:36 not gonna lie I’ve heard bill rip into those chairs several times over the years on audio and when it cut to him just sitting there and I saw the visual I started dieing laughing 😂
Bill's a ball-buster. If you've ever met one of these people you need to be able to take a proper roasting and, so long as it's in good spirit, learn from it. The first few seconds of watching Theo complain about his tour grind I was like "Ahhhh shit. Bill is sensitive to this". Bill bitches about his own tours but every time I've heard it he usually acknowledges he's blessed as an MFer to have the opportunity to bitch about it.
For sure.
He's principled. You get genuineness from him and he expects genuineness from others, when he doesn't get it that's when the gloves come off and he forces it out.
Bill is the voice of truth. His delivery isn’t for the weak but it is, along with his train of thought, steeped in brutal honesty, genuine intelligence and his own life experiences (good or not so great). Theo nailed Burr, along with his own character traits, post their “polarizing” interaction. He reminds me of George Carlin, and I love that for this new generation. Time to toughen up boys and girls.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
Sure buddy.
People like you believing they’re strong for liking the male Kathy griffin.. I bet you all don’t make women cum or exercise even slightly, cool sense of humour tho
Imagine deifying Bill when he is whipped soyboy now
Chill out dude.
Bill is actually one of the most well-versed sports fans I’ve ever seen. Colin gets under his skin because his takes are just so outlandish. He needs Bill for that quick reality check.
I love how you try to get all serious with the music and tone when the Philly rant rolls in but its so funny you ignore it.
