Bill is a class act. One of the best living comedians.

Bill Burr is great and I don't think I've ever met a guy who didn't like him. Good politics too, and says them like a normal fucking person who can make a case without being annoying.
Some of the weirdo ass lemmy computer janitors in this thread seem to dislike him. Which means he’s probably on the right side.
The rest of this thread is bonkers. I have no idea what's happening
unhinged people can't tolerate non-idealistic perspectives. Bill isn't a idealist, he's a pragmatic realist kind of guy.
idealists tend to believe that any reference to a reality outside of their ideal utopia in their heads is a form of hate-speech against them.
I mean, his “stop being a pussy, stupid millennials” schtick is pretty annoying. We get it, you drank from a garden hose and came home when the streetlights turned on. You’re so cool
He's gotten better about that, and usually realizes halfway through a rant when he's doing it, and shifts it to making fun of himself for being a cliche
At this point, millennials mention the garden hose shit more than gen x ever did, and are more annoying about it. Source: am millennial, have seen people make these same exact tired comments for over a decade now
Wait, I'm a millennial and also drank from a garden hose and came home when the streetlights turned on... What does that mean for me?
"Bill Burr blurts 'Blame Billionaires!'"
Some idiots on the right think bill bur is in the middle, how many times does he have to say fuck trump for those morons to understand. He deff not a establishment dem but he is deff a progressive
I think they say that because he portrays himself angrily, and people on the right can really relate to that.
"She went on ESPN and said 'I don't understand why female athletes don't make as much as male athletes' and all these men had to sit there pretending to be dumbfounded. I'm sitting at home screaming at the TV 'BECAUSE YOU DON'T SELL ANY FUCKING TICKETS!'"
--Bill Burr.
Not exactly a bastion of blue haired "My pronouns are emdash/interrobang" leftism, is he?
Reminds me a bit of George Carlin, especially in his later years. George Carlin once did a bit about groups of people he would like to see killed in various ways, to include gun enthusiasts, helicopter parents and people who made small purchases on a credit card.
You excluded the rest where he said if woman really wanted to support them they should watch their games.
Which is a good point. And a lot of comedy is delivery which is lost in text.
Yeah, it boils down to criticizing feminists for being hypocritical, which would not be tolerated of a member of The Left^(TM)^.
He'll also poke The Right^(TM)^ as much; all he's got to do to get people thrown out of a venue in Texas is say "I love vaccines, man."
The dude isn't on either side, he's the kind of comedian who makes fun of abject bullshit, and abject bullshit is Not. Scarce. in 21st century America.
definitely not a "bastion of blue haired "My pronouns are emdash/interrobang"" lol, but he's right.
rip to one of the greats as well 🙏
He might appear to be in the middle, because he also goes after Democrats. And while they might not be nearly as bad as the party of American fascists, Democrats are very far from being perfect. They have at most a handful of decent high profile people. Bill Burr is just reasonable and calls out assholes, no matter their affiliation.
Bill is a real American. I like that he's so anti-racist.
And he did marry a black woman so he is far from conservative.
I was going to say the same thing, but then JD Vance is married to a brown woman and that doesn't seem to mean anything.
He just wanted his kids to be visible in the snow.
Edit: this is Bill Burr's own joke lol.
As someone who listens to his podcast regularly, he's a borderline socialist at this point, but he has blinders on when it comes to "both sides" bullshit.
It's probably because he doesn't want to alienate half of his audience, which I get. But it's super frustrating to hear because he's right there.
If they ask Bill, which the media does, he'll tell you, "Why the fuck are you asking me?" He knows his political views are and should be meaningless. He's a comedian. The news media is responsible for the mess we're in, stop asking comedians what they think and stop white washing fascism.
I don't really understand this sentiment. No one is asking him to run for office. He's an American citizen and he has a huge platform to speak on. Of course his political views have merit. You don't have to be a political science major to talk politics. This comment section is proof of that. Obviously he is only one person and no one should be informing theirselves soley in what he has to say, but like anyone else his words aren't meaningless.
It's his sentiment, not mine.
not all anti-trump people are progressive. plenty of center and right-leaning folks say fuck trump. not enough, but plenty.
also it’s not even progressive to say “don’t blame immigrants”. that’s just basic humanity and not letting republican fear mongering drive you rabid.
Its not the immigrants that are the problem, its the system propped up on abusing groups that have less rights than others. Dressing it up as a humanitarian concern is a distraction from the real problem. The focus should be on companies who abuse employees.
In terms of right and left he's pretty much the center. American "centrists" are actually right wingers in other countries. Heck, even the Dems who consider themselves leftists are actually on the right.
Because Bill says enough crap that aligns with right wing views that they skip the rest.
I’ve listened to Bill for decades. He’s a good guy to get advice from. He’s also a fucking but bag sometimes. But who isn’t a little nuts.
Bill Burr has been saying a lot of 'woke' things lately, and I'm here for it.
I keep hearing about the search for a liberal Rogan. But that person existed for a long time, we are just to busy talking about Rogan to see it.
Everyone says that, not just Burr
