- Audio from Bill Burr's recent show in Ireland, December '13 and his Monday Morning Podcast December 16th 2013.
In 22 years of stand up, Bill thinks the Irish could be one of the most miserable crowds he has ever stood in front of.
The Island of no hugs.
“Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy.”
― W.B. Yeats
+The Captain's Old Dog That's the kind of wit we as a species should all be aiming at.
+The Captain's Old Dog Great quote.
Cankerous Booch excellent!
+Cankerous Booch But the Jews invented psycho analysis ... which Freud said didn't work on the Irish ...
+dob454545 you are making me homesick lol
3:16 ITS CUS YOUR GINGER !!
+begrandsure HAHAH thanks was wondering what he said. I listened like 5 times trying to make it out and now I hear it perfectly.
The funniest bit was yer man in the crowd saying, 'it's cause yer ginger'...
Spoiled the joke there man...
It's funny to me how the countries with the most gingers proportionally (mainly Ireland and the UK, but also their cousins in Australia and New Zealand), are the countries that are the most brutal to them. There are gingers in continental Europe for example, but you don't really hear of them getting bullied, at least to the severe extent that they are in the Anglosphere.
Maybe it's a remnant of old anti-Celtic prejudice, or it's just the usual culprit of discrimination: someone being different. I've spoken to people from places with no native gingers (India, Malaysia, Japan, etc) and they are often surprised when they hear about how bad it is to be ginger in certain countries - I guess to them we Europeans, whether blond, brown-haired, or redhead - are just white people.
Thanks I couldn't make out what he said
@@samlosco8441 lol it used to be so bad when I was a kid here in Ireland I would have abuse shouted at me from passing cars because of my hair lol and got in so many fights, so silly ,tought me not to give a shit what people think about me tho haha
I'm Irish and actually thought "aww" in my head when he mentioned the no hugs thing.
Real Irish or american
I know and im Irish too.
@@andrewmccullagh1231 From Dublin. Been to the Vicar's street theatre a few times.
Same. It's also a thing we do, I think? Like, that was the thought in my head as well. IDK if it's like a panto thing or what but that's 100% what Irish audiences will do.
And you just had to post this comment.
We're miserable pricks but it's just craic like.
@Jerry's Stolen Memes tá mé go maith after hearing this mans jokes
Irish people fucking embrace burr like no other american comedian, he's a fucking genius
"'Cause you're a ginger!"
I died and I can relate.
Lol!! Great stuff. My mom is 100% Irish. She wasn't a hugger either. Lots of love, but I remember she used to get annoyed at huggers. "Touchy-feely people" as she would say. Lol!
Thats what the world is crying out for today...the proper Irish mammy...put manners on every little snowflake who was hugged too much.
Born in Ireland?
@@fe5018 if the question is directed ay me?? Then yes I was born and have lived all my life in Ireland. A County Wexford man!! 😁
@@kevintyrrell9559 Nah, it was actually at the op about his 100% Irish mammy. I was wondering whether she was born in Ireland or if she's 100% Irish in the way that Conan O'Brien is genetically 100% Irish(I.e. generations of American citizens spending +150years exclsuively marrying and procreating with the descendants of other Irish immigrants but all actually in America).
Hope life is treating you well in Wexford anyway, Kevin 👍🇮🇪
@@kevintyrrell9559 ]
hes so quick on his feet haha funniest comedian in the world
he handled it perfectly though.... Even the Irish were laughing at the end. I love Bill Burr. This is a funny story.
Fantastic, love Billy Red Face and love the Irish people. He mean't miserable as in willing to take the piss. From a Yorkshireman who can't wait to visit again. Dublin trip cost me a fortune but was worth every penny ;)
"The Commitments" - movie from 1991, the leader of a soul band about to give their first show, encourages the other members by telling them in the local accent: "We´re irish,we´re the blacks of Europe,we´re from Dublin, the blacks of Ireland, so say it with me lads and say it proudly - we´re black and we´re proud!!."
Dublin the blacks of Ireland????
I had a feeling that Bill was gonna thrash us,glad to see he enjoyed us not being impressed by his feelings! love this video!
Found that a nice surprise too
He needs to tape a special in ireland. So we can truly experience the audience. Because my culture is the same way too, more so the older generation and this realness is so refreshing... like you had to grow up in it to truly get it. And bill burr handled it perfectly.
Thanks for putting this together dude! Love it!
‘ let it out you ginger freak’ 😂😂😂
Ireland has suffered poverty, famine, and a lot of pain so this miserable attitude is for a reason.
so when they invaded the US they went straight to the Irish ghettos and slums and proceeded to act just like they did back home and made the native feel just as miserable to this day
Great to hear the actual audio; fuckin hilarious
My favourite people Irish and Scottish
Somebody please please please give me a hug
Stephen *hug*
we can relate south boston married to an irish man
"Oh fuck off" haha
This is a thing of beauty.
Great video, Seán. Bill Burr is the king of comedy.
Us irish have a deep sadness- chris griffin
Bill knows us Irish. He knows we're ruthless. If we mock you, it means we love you. If you're not being mocked by an Irishman, you're not a friend.
Went to college with some Irishmen. They are the most self depricating people on the planet, but in a funny way.
I came up a little bit before Bill, but he's right.
My parents weren't huggers in the late 60's, early 70's.
And you know what? None of my friends parents were, either.
That helicopter shit came later.
6:23 "Let it out, ginger prick! "
😂
Bill makes the crowd work for him. Its why hes top 5.
Did someone yell out "Ginger freak!!" OmG I'm dead. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bill if u read this my 2 brothers were at that gig. Said it was great. One of the fellas that shouts actually sounds like him. 😁😀 Sorry. 😀
Yep! Irish mothers? Not warm. But do everything for you and if anyone tries to hurt their sons? Stand back!
That's basically it. Listen, I was never hugged as a child, never got an 'I love you' from my ma, but she'd go to hell and back for me and I know it. Honestly, a lot of the older generation were repressed as fuck over here in Ireland anyway. I don't think my mother knew how to be 'huggy' or whatever with us. I know my grandmother is as cold as fuck, like. So what chance did they have? Just get on with things.
"Do you think we got hugs"
- Irish People
I'm Irish but never realized that it was an Irish behavior I was exhibiting. This explains a lot. . I was just about ready to visit Ireland then the pandemic bullshit ruined that, then I had to live off my fricken trip money for a year. So.. at least I get to learn about my heritage from Bill Burr.
"those fkn people in Ireland" LOL
its just irish humour, a lot of nations dont understand it until they arrive here hahah
it's not just an irish thing for the crowd to heckle
It’s the Irish sigh. Very specific.
Cant believe i missed that show! How do i get bill's line up?
I think a lot of the New England Humor, especially in Massachusetts the Irish character traits are ingrained. My sister in law from California said she loves New Englanders, they're hilarious and honest. Yep
Irish moved here to the South and theyre anything but funny
I enjoyed that
I have been offended how dare he😁 Bill come back
Hilarious and great
Nice to see Irish people more open to the outside world , i did not knew they were that fluent with the English language .
@@themarketm8382
What ? They do not speak English fluently at all there , Ireland official language is Gibbirish which they learn from their very first year at a pub .
More fluent than Americans who speak like cats with constipation.
Funniest fuckin guy on the planet without doubt.
Huge ovation at the end of the video. Awesome the way his show ended in Ireland fuck yeah I'm irish as fuck too bitch
Parents used to leave the hugging so our priest could do it
Bill Burr makes me miss George Carlin and Bill Hicks quite a bit less. Obviously theyre, all three, very different in their own respective rights, but its true for me nonetheless.
Wow bill sounds hungover/old / Ill lol
British people like that kind of a fights on the show . Burr should watch a little bit of Al Murray to sense them. If You are an American on British area You really need to prove that You can make them laugh . All of their comedians are incredibly sharp..
What does that guy shout at 3:17 that makes everyone laugh?
***** Ooh, thanks.
UndeadSon Cause you're a ginger? lol
ViNcEnT RoSs There's nothing funny about racism.
Soular Surfer
subjective.
ViNcEnT RoSs Just Sad. And neither will be tolerated anymore.
I'm very loving but shout at my kids if they hurt themselves... Irish parenting passed on.
It's great how he seamlessly manages to take down heckles and make it part of his act. He doesn't do it angrily either, just makes it part of the banter. Very funny guy.
True. Except for the Philly incident. I've never seen the guy so close to losing it.
More banter than heckles in Ireland tho...
@@genocidalsanta3781the phily incident was amazing he made a crowd of booing assholes cheer him on by insulting them
It isn't heckling..That's banter in Ireland.. We enjoy the exchange, can be quite self-deprecating and want banter in return..If you can take it and give it back in equal measure,irish people will warm to you.
Bill Burr is a well seasoned performer. His professional background allows him to almost welcome heckling.
Ireland has a great history with language and sense of humor, pumped out like so many Nobel Prize Laureates in literature.
I think you might have been the first person in history to use the words "pumped out like" and "Nobel Prize Laureates" in the same sentence.
That's how I roll.
A great history? Like abusing it's own Red Haired people?
imhellag "so many" ???? You mean all four of them ?
+imhellag But your weather is a fucking shitter. FUCK does it pour buckets over there
The island of no hugs hahaha!
cause your ginger 3:18
lol
David D what's so funny about that? It's like saying 'cus you're Irish'---?
Soular Surfer no because fuk all irish are ginger compared to any other European country it's the same ratio lol
Dan ThreeTwo Lol, this "ginger" racism thing is getting too old, its a damn hair colour, there's redheads in all the damn world, they should stop with that dumb shit. One of the best guys i've ever seen and heared, Bill Burr is a ginger
Well in that case his mother wouldn't have said anything because she'd have been black too...
"Let it out you ginger freak!!" at 6:23 lmfaoo it reminds me so much of my friends, i grew up in an irish/english neighborhood in canada.
Whoever edited this, thank you!! Awesome video!
I was at that show. Absolutely brilliant!! Come back Bill.
Irish people are nice and friendly, like this crowd we just have a wicked sense of humor.
You used wicked so I assume you're from Boston. Boston is in America, not Ireland.
"Wicked" is used in Boston slang to mean "very"; not as an adjective (though, many films/TV shows erroneously use it that way.) Besides, Boston has a huge Irish population--meaning, people who were born in Ireland and came to America.
@Robert Baratheon Except that's not how he was using it, genius.
Thank you for complimenting my intelligence, that's groovy of you.
@@robertbaratheon2193 Four years later, and your comment is still ignorant. Haha. We use wicked in the same way as "cutting".
It's not miserableness. It might seem like it, but it isn't. It's just pure honesty. We don't bullshit people. We're not a nation of bullshitters. If we're feeling something, we tell it like it is. We also like to wind people up.
Your banks sure do love to bullshit.
+Larry Langer lol not a nation of bullshitters yet you hold the catholic church in such high regard
+Larry Langer I feel like I could easily embrace that type of culture.
+Larry Langer He was just pulling your leg, he didn't actually mean it
Bunch of fucking liars and thieves, the ira and uda got shit loads of money from people who were horrified by the violence, full of shit.
"IT'S COS YOU'RE GINGER!!" hahaha heroic heckler
i love how irish bust balls- great sense of humour- but no softness there at all. country of drinkers, fighters, poets and lovers. my kinda place
+kissmygrits Lighten up buddy
+kissmygrits nation of fighters bud. Nation of writers and intellects. Nation of hard workers and a nation that made yours what it is. So ya we're as varied as any place in the world, you'll find pussies arseholes and cunts everywhere and you'll also find men of honour and courage and many other qualities too. A nation only defines you so much and that depends on the opportunities it gives you and nobody gave us shit, we had to reclaim everything we have so that's why we have a hard exterior cause we won't let you take a inch of what we think we're worth.
+kissmygrits with a comment like that your were obviously trying to bust small intellectual nerdy types of Irishmen who you knew wouldn't put up much of a fight , a comment like that says everything people need to know about you , a youtube tough guy LOL,, loser
+kissmygrits and where are you from
***** lol "any so called" man that acts tough on a UA-cam comment section is obviously the biggest coward in town, and a outright loser
Yup the what makes Bill great is the Boston Irish upbringing he got. He has a lot of Irishness in him. Quick wit, thoughtful, great story teller, take shit from no-one and red hair :-)
casperld Indded. Was at the gig. It was very inclusive and personal. Bill as usual, rolled with the punches and won the heart of the crowd. A master at his trade.
+casperld You got it dude, and he's entirely Made in America and not in my grandparents' moldy potato Ireland that they were so smart to leave instead of continually sucking the dicks of the Englishmen!
+Thomas Goldfinch Lets call a spade a spade your grandparents were cowards who turned tail and ran instead of putting up the good fight.
Oh shit, Gary Reilly, you big-brained galoot you! You discovered my family's shame so quickly and with so little evidence to support your all-encompassing condemnation of people long dead now. Man alive (not you, Gary boy) you have an innate ability to be the copper, prosecutor, judge and jury in just the wink of an eye, don't you! Yeah, the wink of an eye I said, You know, how you communicate "yes" or "no" from your vegetative state with life support giving your body a fighting chance until your brain comes back online.
+Thomas Goldfinch Yet you felt it ok to make a sweeping condemnation of a whole country you know nothing about. Your right though I can't judge your grandparents. It was a reactionary comment but surely you can see the hypocracy in your comment. People are normally leave their country because of hardship I'm sure it would have been heartwrenching for your granparents leaving family and friends behind. I'd go so far as to say the real insult is to hear one of their grandchildren shit on their homeland.
I'm half Scottish and we are as miserable as the irish
Fianna 6 counties still are ya fenian heure !
mr zed us a
M8 I worked in a restaurant with a scottish fella, he works over 100 hours a week and charges people £2 each for a lift home
The irish are not mean.....but the Scots are.....
@@fionaohare4869 Yer arse. Well, if we are goin for the stereotyping, you would be fine if somebody claimed that the Irish are thick then?
Im Scottish. That means Im on the subs bench as replacement for an Irishman. 🤣
You're scooooooootishhhh 😂😂😂
They were winding you up mate ;)
"halfway thru the shhpeel" we use that phrase all the time in Ireland😃. Love u Bill my kraut mick friend.
I have Irish blood and I remember when I was little how much my moms side of the family would leave people in shock with their dry Irish sense of humor. We were on the way to my aunts funeral and when we arrived my mom asked the guy driving her sisters dead body "did she give you any shit back there?" Or something like that. He turned pale and gasped for air like he'd seen the devil. Now I'm 29 and I find myself doing the exact same thing on a daily basis. I expect people to understand dry and ruthless sarcasm but most don't
Are you from Boston ?
Love the black humor of your mom
You must be American lol most Americans don't get our sense of humor
@@maxd2215 not "black humour" every Irish person talks like that. Every. Single. One. Of. Us.
My dad said at a wake about my aunt.
"she's lookin better than she ever did, but late on it though..."
🤷♀️ That's who we are. We don't give AF. 😁
@@irishcountrygirl78 awesome. Gotta visit Ireland then. My ex boss told me once that he went to a restaurant and ordered a coffee. The waiter asked how would you like your coffee? My ex boss replied: as black as my feet. To which the waiter said: sorry out of stock.
The Irish: Always cursing the dark, never lighting a candle.
Scotland n Ireland FTQ. If you know u know
18 75 Quis Separabit.
His freaking improv is so unbelievable
LMAO! Got me cry laughing.
Us irish love a good laugh😂❤, Favourite comedian.
This is a fucking great observation, he is absolutely right.
Funniest races imo (can live anywhere in World)
Irish
Black Americans
Jews
Scots
English
Italians
I would like to add Eastern European to that list bc the Baltics are hillarious. Perhaps its because I'm American, but I know more English actors than English comedians.
what a legend, funniest guy ever.
10 months late but try watching George carlin!!!
Thank you for adding the clips from the actual show. The had-to-be-there comment by Bill earlier was spot on.
"It killed me, because I had a fucken early flight..." is both the most Irish and Massachusetts thing anyone could ever say. God bless you, sir, and please come to Springfield, you will never pay for a meal or a drink.
What does "hug" mean?
3:17 'It's because you're ginger!' HAHAHHAHA!
TheDestroller do you honestly think in any way, shape, or form that’s in ok thing to say someone?
John McCarthy I was responding to someone’s else is comment about how he thought it would be ok if the audience said the n-word to a comedian.
Looks like he deleted it.
@@Gadget-Walkmen I love how it looks like you're trying to destroy the original commenter for quoting someone calling him a ginger lmao
@@MattThe well thank goodness I’m not it’s just that some people online just like to say stupid ignorant shit and cause problems.
I was just waiting for Bill to pull out his classic line, "You can't f*cking help these people!"
Hilarious.Would have loved to have seen him in Vicar Street but I've only just discovered him recently.He's just brilliant and I love him even more now after hearing how he spoke about Ireland..
Honestly he speaks the truth I mean it rains pretty much every day here pub's are getting to expensive and pretty much no one has anything good to say I was talking to one of my friends relatives and he was going on and on and on about how depressed he was over his ma passing away the dude was like in his early 60 extremely fat and a lovable drunk 😵 but he ends his rant by downing his point and saying she lift me fucking nothing my own flesh and blood
The photo reel is great. I was struggling to imagine what Ireland or a theater looked like.
I attended my first Wake at age 14, when my grandma died. Noticing I was upset, one of my brothers sidled over, and put an arm around my shoulders, enveloping me in comfort, and a cloud of aftershave. Touched by his (uncharacteristic) sweetness, I whispered, “Jimmy, you smell so good, what is that?” He winked and whispered back, “I farted”. Unable to contain hysterical laughter, I put my head in my in my arms, feigning grief. Thankfully, one of my sharp eyed sisters hurried over to shoo away my brother. Her steadying hand patting my back enabled me to gain control of my giggles. Before she walked away, she turned to wink and smile at me, and I realized that while patting my back, she had deftly unhooked my bra through my blouse. To this day, I avoid sitting near, talking to, or eye contact with any of my siblings at Wakes and funerals.
Next time he should do a special there! :)
Its no secret that cultures who had to overcome intense struggle also have the most hilarious people.
All cultures have had to overcome struggle. It's the human condition.
@@bodombeastmode not what heard. I heard twas rich white hetero Xtians Americans left Europe to invade the Americas and never had to work a day because they all lived on plantations with slaves
I love how he won them over with his Irish blood
The Irish are a fair people, they haven't a good word to say about anyone! George bernard shaw ( I think )
0:25 dodged that bullet nicely, well done Bill
3:00 epic ad-lib coolery
I bet you werent allowed to cry at old yeller. Son of a bitch. How could they not let you cry at old yeller.
The brilliant BB haha amazing, hilarious, I am Irish just great. Nailed it hahaha.
To be honest, when the crowd did that, it could have been more sympathy than mockery. Burr could have played it two ways....accepted it in finger-twiddling way, or the angry offended way. Being angry and offended at the thought of being mocked, en masse, by a bunch of "miserable" hoors is a perfect Irish response. Burr played that anger out brilliantly and the crowd loved it. He's a brilliant comic anyway and I can't wait for him to come back to Ireland, so I can mock him too.
Agreed. I'd put money on it that the crowd was legitimately split between pads taking the piss out of him and women legitimately sympathizing with the poor lamb.
Cooze yar gin-geh
Haha I'm from Dublin we have a wicked sence of a humour
Listening to this waiting for my new year's eve flight back to Dublin....... Can't wait to get home.
As a One-Half-Irish-American, I have to say that most of my one-half compatriots on this comment feed are typing words just as if they were drunk talking. Notice how some inconsequential words are being dropped, but you know what they mean anyway?
