Comedy actually does play an important role in society addressing topics like this.
I love Comedy!

Bill Burr, the King of Ambivalence.
He says a lot of stuff that’s dead on right, then he turns around and says some beleif that makes him a dick.

I actually love Bill Burr and he is the only comedian that makes me laugh out loud in front of the TV. :)
I know its not all funny and some things are weird but that’s fine for me. Its not often I actually do laugh out loud like crazy at someone. He says what I want to say in some social situations but I don’t. :)

Fuck Bill Burr in his stupid fucking ass.
It’s so rare that I have a modicum of respect for anyone but this guy was somebody who I had a ton of respect for right up until the minute of that fucking blood money bone saw bullshit.
I stopped watching all of the comedians that partook in that, but Bill was the one that was the biggest kick in the balls.
Godric@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Yeah, Bill of all people felt like a real backstab, the man’s selling out MSG, I don’t think he needed the money.
Only thing I’ve heard of hi. since was when Conan had him on his podcast. His explanation somewhat softened my view, but still…
SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 6 hours ago
It’s not too surprising. I used to listen to the Monday Morning Podcast regularly, until (I think) 2019, when he went on a long rant about (my words) how stressful and burdensome it was to have a lot of money, because you’re constantly having to guard it, and manage it, and be afraid of losing it. Not like how easy it is to be a poor schlub, because you don’t have all that pressure to maintain an affluent lifestyle. I had heard him rant many times about how he’s a comedian, so he says that a lot of things that aren’t meant to be taken seriously. But, there was an edge to that poor-little-rich-man rant which didn’t sound like a joke. Maybe. But it’s a well-known effect of wealth that it decreases one’s empathy, and that it can happen to anybody.

All you people condemning Bill Burr like you all wouldn’t do horrible things for a million and a half bucks.
I’ve done unspeakable things for twenty dollars.

I’ve done unspeakable things for twenty dollars.
Do tell
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 3 hours ago
if I were already worth $20M, no, I wouldn’t do horrible things for $2M
but my net worth is negative because of my mortgage, and I still need to work to live. and let’s not talk about retirement.
look, I’m comfortable and fairly well off, I acknowledge that. but $2M would mean I would have retirement funded, a paid off home, and flexibility for work. $2M to Bill Burr doesn’t mean the same.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.social 3 hours ago
How do you think he made twenty million though?
A million and a half at a time.
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 3 hours ago
What?? It’s not like he needed the money. I’d give a pass to a struggling up-and-comer, but he’s got enough money to be able to hold to some principles without suffering hardship
Godric@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
I’m not saying I wouldn’t do it for $1.5 million, but I dont have $1.5 million.
If you were to pay me, IDK, $500 to go comedywash Saudi Arabia, I wouldn’t.

If I am a random bloke? Yeah, maybe. If I am one of the most prominent comedians in the states? Nah.
Burn_The_Right@lemmy.today 5 hours ago
Even you wouldn’t stoop to dancing around for such evil mfers though, would you? Seriously. Bill was already rich. He made a grotesque choice and then doubled down on it over and over since, telling his upset fan base to shut the fuck up and forget about it. Fuck Bill. He never really deserved our support at all.
GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 5 hours ago
There’s the thing. If I had a couple mil in the bank, knew I could make another couple mil in the next year, and a piece of shit came up to me and said, “I’ll give you a couple mil to do one show,” it would be pretty easy to say no. It’s just a year’s income and isn’t going to change my life. If I was just getting by or even doing okay and some piece of shit offered me 1.5 mil, well, that could have me retiring in 5 or 10 years, being able to look for a job I’d be happier with, or any number of significantly life-changing things. Bill would had just had to wait a little longer to get this things.

Counter offer to @WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world $21 but you can mime the things so the things remain unspeakable.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.social 3 hours ago
Just the act of miming the actions may cause us both to lose ourselves to madness.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Brabeck clarify drinking water is a human right, and water for irrigation or for your front lawn is what should be taxed? I keep seeing this kind of meme brought up, and I think the same thing every time

I love Bill Burr, saw him like 5 times live.
The thing is that, he was really on our side calling out a lot of the craziness. It’s hard to overlook the Riyadh thing. I haven’t followed him since, I still don’t know if he apologized or anything.
Still don’t know why he needed to … his career was on the up.

I don’t know who this is. Bill Burr according to the comments. I still don’t know who he is.

A red headed comedian fuck that pretends to speak truth to power while also taking money from Saudi Arabia and he also hates women.

So you have all the information that you could ask for, but decided to brag about your ignorance? I’m not saying you have to know who Bill Burr is, but this comment feels pointless.
