Let me preface this by saying I’m not a fan at all of Bill Burr, but he recently went on Bill Maher’s show, and said he was with the students. He’s also said some inflammatory things in the past, so I’m not sure. Are we cool with Bill Burr, now?
The fuck is this we shit? Make you your own mind
Thanks for triggering me.
You’re welcome :)
OP why are you trying to outsource your opinion?
I’m not?
Sure seems like you are.
We? Think for yourself.
You either like him or dont like him. Don’t let a bunch of faceless online accounts do gatekeeping on your life.
I reject that kind of black and white thinking. We don’t have to classify people as either “cool” or “uncool”, or “good” and “bad”. We can criticize one thing someone does, while also praising something else that they do.
This is absolutely correct, let’s not forget how amazing the turnaround was in road network and car industry after Hitler came to power in 1933!
I think he’s smart and brave. A lot of smart people won’t say what they think because of people everywhere checking on discourses for the smallest fractures getting offended. Smart people, in the end, will choose their battles. Bill Burr is not always on point but he does not shy away from stating his point of view. Sometimes he does it brilliantly. I don’t follow the guy as much as a fan or a critic would to know why they like him or why they hate him right now. Seriously, cancelation culture is not constructive.
Who is we?
I don’t know him as a person, but I think he’s pretty funny as a stand up and not a bad actor.
Like the general “we”?
Who’s “we”, and why do you feel the need to ask them if they like a particular comedian?
Left wingers/Lemmyites.
Second part of the question; is having your opinion validated by the group that important to you?
I think it would be better to ask where he stands on things, confirm the information from multiple sources, and make your own opinion.
I think in general he leans more left than he lets on if that’s what you mean.
His podcast when his wife is on (It annoys me that people would find this to be relevant credentials, but she’s a POC) shows that he has a pretty healthy world view where he talks crap a lot, but is happy to be told he’s an idiot as well, at least by her.
I like him. Like everyone Burr sometimes have a bad take or two. But overall he’s a nice guy.
Think for yourself.
I think he’s always been a bit of an asshole, but he’s a charming asshole and sometimes the things he says are on point. Other times he’s just being an asshole though, but I still find that entertaining for the most part.
This kind of “checking that I’m still orthodox” post makes my skin crawl. Who is “we”?
How is that even a question? Bill Burr is a legend.
Also, I collect/watch all of real time. Bill Burr wasn’t on any episode this year/season.
Im sorry that you feel the need to subject yourself to Bill Mahr in real time.
I’ve never seen a problem with him…
What controversies?
He’s made a “joke” about motherhood not being a hard job. I’ve known single mothers and it’s a pretty damn hard job.
