and just put this on now during lunch and went to check on the newest threads here while it loaded up. Looking fwd to this as he is tell it the way it is. The way comedy should be.
I thought it was really good, not quite great, but really good.
I generally like Burr, and I thought the first lady stuff was excellent as was the opening, but the me too part was off to such a great start - I liked it a lot until he went into the part where he shared his own me too moment - it was so bad I almost fast forwarded, not bad in a cringy horrific way, just un-funny and sounded 100% fake.
male feminist content was great too as was the piece about being a father.
not nearly as edgy as Chappelle (though the critics disagree about Chappelle being edgy) and I don't see much comparison between the two (though the media tries to create a comparison).
not his best work. I think it’s being compared to Chappelle’s due to the timing, which I have done as well, fair or unfair. I watched them maybe 4 or 5 days apart, Chappelles being first which to me was much funnier. Burr should have released this a month ago or waited a couple months.
pjcas18. That #MeToo story of his sounded a tad made up to me. It took a bit to get what he visualized her childhood being like. I did like when he said "and this is my story" and started sobbing like a woman.
I actually liked Burr's show more than Chappelle's special and I did like both. Who cares? They're two totally different comedians and people. Just a good laugh.

That's just a genius maneuver for these guys to keep their jobs. The critics who are actually pissy over what he said are going to regroup, come back and try to trivialize his show more and more because he made trans or whatever jokes, saying he was trying too hard by going out of his way being offensive. "Yeah I get your type of humor buuuuuuuuut, that still doesn't mean it's Ok. Lecture, lecture."
That, or these guys are "offended" just to keep their jobs. What else were they expecting? Chapelle is the same guy who played a blind, black, Klansman on his old show, right?
People just might be pretending here because Chapelle and Burr's material have been in the public's hands for plenty of years.
of Burr's special worked out well for him because the critics who panned Chappelle I think are getting a lot of backlash, so with Burr he's not getting the same criticism.
and the shows aren't really that similar, but they do both rail against cancel culture and modern sensitivity, so I would have expected more consistent criticism, but critics who hated Chappelle's show didn't hate Burr's (in many cases)
Oh yeah, that whole bit about being tired of white women bitching all of the time. Yes that might've made me laugh one, two or three times.
If you're talking about me, no I haven't

He hated it. So I’m gonna pass.

I am. And you have.

We're all in the same Jacuzzi!
I never really saw the significance behind constantly measuring the newest material to performer's previous work. But.... what the hell?
I liked the jokes but was hoping for more new stuff
This is a no-brainer to go see him, right? Anyone else been to a show on Kreischer's current tour?
I think the joke is that you hate everything.
You're the anti-Mikey, that guy that died in the poprocks and coke fiasco back in the 70s.
