I was having this conversation with wifey a couple days ago - I think Bill Burr is a fantastic talk show/podcast guest and a pretty bad comedian. I don't care for his stand up but he's always an insightful and funny social commentator when he shows up at someone else's thing.

This is a solid breakdown. I tend to find him funny in an "oh yeah, that's true, ha," kind of way as opposed to a laugh out loud way.

Unlike say a Chappelle or Louis CK that tells a story with clear points of comedic emphasis, Burr just tells a story in a funny voice, which can be amusing but not "funny", if that makes sense.

 

[Matty]

Yeah exactly. Burr leans too much on his silly yelly voice cause his stand up material is mid. He has a super sharp mind though which makes him well suited to casual convos and debates that veer into observational comedy.

 

[Cougar Bait]

He’s known as being a clean comic, right? I watched about 15 minutes of his material and just couldn’t get into it

But I’m not surprised because he’s so different than my Top 5

George Carlin
Richard Pryor
Dave Chappelle
Chris Rock
Anthony Jeselnick

These are 4 of my top 5 👍

Your top 4

Nate is a clean comic like Seinfeld.

I consider those types to be more brilliant in a way.

Using profanity is a bit of a crutch.

Richard Pryor

I recently "discovered" Richard Pryor. I mean, I knew about the celebrity but had never seen any of his work. I have new content to watch.

There is no better than Pryor in his peak yayo stand up comedy years.

Well excuse us uncultured swine for not knowing which symphonies are of note, Lord Boné Boné!

I thought id already established that the CO symphony is butt. Why would my bald head ever be caught there?

Could be hate-watching or heckling. Maybe sighing and groaning, loudly commenting on how poorly each piece is performed and how a superior orchestra would have handled it?
