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.
"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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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...
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
he is so unapologetically human and real and its the greatest thing ever to witness... he talks truth when others are afraid to stand up .. respect ya bastid
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.

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
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 😂
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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'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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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%.
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 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.
he's pretty happy nowadays and has one of the most successful podcast on youtube. The "haydays" (as you would call it) are long gone, its been almost a decade now get off his dick ffs..@@stephenpmurphy591
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 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
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 single handedly destroyed everything the city of Philadelphia loves and they cheered for him as he left the stage." If I was Bill Burr I would want that on my headstone lmao
Joe does that specifically to get Bill going. Joe has known the dude for two decades and knows how to get the best out of Bill. The little rascals hat is one of the best podcast moments ever too btw.
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.
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.
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!
I find him pretty intimidating. I was trying to put a finger on why I avoid things with him in it. I'm Irish, I recognize the aggressiveness, I guess people in Boston are pretty like us back on the island. But if I can choose it, I avoid conflict and men who seem quick to anger. Sometimes even if they're a good guy, it can still feel uncomfortable/scary
I think one of the reason he does come off as intimidating is because he is quick to offend you and make jokes that would destroy your character without hesitation. That kind of interaction display power and dominance. He say whatever he wants to say and not afraid of conflict since he's really good at ranting. I rarely see him shows any anger compare to giving out offensive humor.
So one thing that bill does, is that he inverts the rules of improv humor. Everyone learns that is "yes, and? " but bill almost always finds the "no, and? " and makes it funny.

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.
Patrice was worse, I'd say.
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.

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!

“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 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).

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.
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 have to disagree
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.
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.
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.
Same here I love him. Worth every dollar.
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.

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.

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.

"When all of your family and friends are constantly making fun of you since birth, you just think its normal and harmless."

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.
Most people feel extreme anxiety taking in front a room of people they know, and heres Bill taking on a huge crowd.
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.
Yup. The H3 one was pure cringe but the Theo ep was like seeing a firework show end in a rainstorm
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.
"You gotta toughen up"
You got to put your big boy pants on before interviewing Bill Burr.
@@ll2323cmon quit being a fairy
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...
I will never forget seeing the Philly rant for the first time. To this day it’s still one of the greatest pieces of comedy content I’ve ever seen
Yeah, and what this creator got absurdly wrong is the philly fans were booing the comedian before Burr and Burr came out and roasted the fans.
you bring bill burr on a podcast and ask him about it. i’m sure he’s never talked about it before
The UA-camr also forgot that Philadelphia is full of assholes.
@@whita-db9zwexactly, Philly ended up loving him for it.
@@andyspohr942 Hell yeah we did
3:22 the way Theo explained himself and the situation was spot on. What a thoughtful guy.
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 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.
Patrick's makes mondays GREAT
got u :)
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.
“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
@@bboykabir2 Ok? He was making a joke about how unfunny Ethan is.
@@bboykabir2 These guys don't care. They just want to piss their pants over Ethan growing up and turning out to not think like them.
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.
Today's world?
@@e.j3916 Literally wtf lol
@@InnerDnessthe state of the society is usually influenced more by generations than previous years.
ah yes, retcon the whole thing
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.
Lmaooo Bill Burr will find your Ego like a G spot n completely destroy it😂😂😂😂 feeling mad violated lol
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.
Patrice and Ant were hilariously perfect together.
Is it on UA-cam?
Patrice always seemed closer to Jim Norton IMO, them 2 seemed to have better chemistry.
@@moonknight4053 Yep the video "Patrice O’Neal & Bill Burr Get In Heated Argument" should cover a good amount of it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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'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.
You should probably stick to cycling homie 🚲
@@rickeykoga2312🤣
as a cyclist i assume you already hate yourself anyway so getting roasted must be some kind of validation right?
@@arisraydensorry the one above was better 😢
@@8rk dude.... hate to break it to you, but your opinion is worthless
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.
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.
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.
the steven seagal joke was spot on 😂
that one hit home lol
Bill has done alot of self reflection over the past few years... he's ALOT more relaxed.
Good to hear. This vid was my introduction to him and he just reminded me of smarter but just as upset and tantrumy version of my brother in law.
Wife and children. He has entered his next level.
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. 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.
@@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
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.
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.
Yes, at the other person's expense. He's funny and generally means well but is there really much difference between acting like a jerk and being one?
@@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
@@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 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.
but don't talk about masks though. we need a doctor for that.
@@bobby_c07of course not you have to be a doctor to understand how masks work
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.
@michaelgonzalez3523facts.
ethan has had like 20 “low points” in his life. 4 of which actually were but he just became the one thing he’d roast back in the day.
Ethan's entire life is a low point.
You'll develop contact clinical depression watching him.
how, just say you disagree with his opinions and stfu.@michaelgonzalez3523
he's pretty happy nowadays and has one of the most successful podcast on youtube. The "haydays" (as you would call it) are long gone, its been almost a decade now get off his dick ffs..@@stephenpmurphy591
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 😂
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
@@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
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.
He didnt humble Joe, Joe's aware of his behavior and knows the question will set burr off he does it for a good laugh.
exactly, joe eggs him on because it's entertaining
yepp
I’d be honored to be roasted by Bill lmao, you can tell that one kill tony guy he took jabs at really loved it
Crazy seeing how much you have evolved Patrick been here since the early days, I always watch your videos when they drop
So true. I didn’t like him at first
@@echo2551 I’ve always liked him tbh since he was a great channel for the underground scene
nah fr i remember watching him stream peoples music on soundcloud in like 2017 its wild seeing how far he came
"Bill single handedly destroyed everything the city of Philadelphia loves and they cheered for him as he left the stage."
If I was Bill Burr I would want that on my headstone lmao
That’s who Bill is. He rips apart people and it’s hilarious. I laughed the entire time. He has the best personality
Bill Burr wriggled his way into my heart by acting on the Mandalorian. And then I discovered how straight laced he is
Joe does that specifically to get Bill going. Joe has known the dude for two decades and knows how to get the best out of Bill. The little rascals hat is one of the best podcast moments ever too btw.
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.
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.
Exactly! Blunt, honest & outspoken to keep people humble, yet genuine & sensitive to be in times of need. There aren’t enough Bill Burrs in the world.
This guy keeps getting made fun of by his friends and is waiting for one of them to be his best friend.
@@alexblankenship5630 Well actually I have no friends.
Bill just bein honest and blunt and real.
Been watching a ton of bills stuff lately, so this is right on time
I just watched his film "Old Dads" and old dads will think its funny for sure
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?
@@AnyHeroBlake both kinda asked for it
@@toniotrussardi8126 that doesn't answer my question.
@@AnyHeroBlakeListen to literally any of his stand ups, interviews, or podcasts. It’s that easy
@@AnyHeroBlake If you have to ask then you haven't watched enough Bill Burr.
I find him pretty intimidating. I was trying to put a finger on why I avoid things with him in it. I'm Irish, I recognize the aggressiveness, I guess people in Boston are pretty like us back on the island. But if I can choose it, I avoid conflict and men who seem quick to anger. Sometimes even if they're a good guy, it can still feel uncomfortable/scary
I think one of the reason he does come off as intimidating is because he is quick to offend you and make jokes that would destroy your character without hesitation. That kind of interaction display power and dominance. He say whatever he wants to say and not afraid of conflict since he's really good at ranting. I rarely see him shows any anger compare to giving out offensive humor.
Nah he needs punched in the mouth. Burr came off like a jerk. Burr needs an attitude adjustment.
Every Irish friend is either a teddy bear or a angry guerilla
So one thing that bill does, is that he inverts the rules of improv humor. Everyone learns that is "yes, and? " but bill almost always finds the "no, and? " and makes it funny.
