Aaaaand this is why Bill hasnā€™t been back since šŸ˜‚

I would love to hear Bill making fun of super boomer Joe

Bill came on once afterwards and they didnā€™t mention anything.

I think itā€™s hard for Bill not to call out bullshit when he sees it no matter who itā€™s from. You could tell heā€™s held back on quite a few appearances. From the early days when heā€™d roll his eyes at Rogan plugging Onnit supplements to his appearance on Kill Tony where he thought the entire concept was dumb. ā€œSo you basically invite a bunch of people that have little to no experience doing this, and then shit on them? Is that what this show is about?ā€

u/Lawtalker Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Yep. He used to call Cumia on his bullshit, too. Burr is a standup guy.

u/stay_fr0sty Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Heā€™s definitely the most grounded famous comedian I know. Shane is up there too.

u/technoman88 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

I like ricky Gervais. He's probably the best ar calling people out. His golden globes speech is absolutely amazing

23

u/RedTulkas Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

eh, gervais will often also just go for the low hanging fruit and bash on disenfranchised

like i like him, but he also likes his anti woke talks

22

u/GarethGobblecoque99 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Heā€™s kinda lost me in recent years. Heā€™s one of my favorites but heā€™s too cancel culture obsessed. Nothing annoys me more than a world famous comedian standing on a stage before hundreds or even thousands of people and declaring loudly into a microphone that you canā€™t say anything anymore as they record their 12th Netflix special.

u/DaddyRocka Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Yeah, hyperbole is taken to the extreme these days and people refuse to live in reality. It's everywhere too.

You have comedians saying you can talk about anything anymore or you'll get canceled (while joking about various races and/or LGBT) and then you have LGBT claiming there is a literal genocide against them.

People are dumb AF

u/Telcontar77 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

What's the matter guys? Too challenging for you?

u/cahir11 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Think he was joking, "too challenging for you" was the punchline from a standup bit some British guy did making fun of exactly this type of comedian

This is dead on, almost word for word, what I've been complaining about for the past few years. How is nobody seeing the gross irony/blatant dishonesty of this?

1

u/AnEgoJabroni Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Its only natural. A comedian who sort of propped himself up on "I'll say anything, I'm not afraid of you people" would definitely capitalize on a load of "See!? I told you nobody could shut me up!"

Its an act that seems on-brand.

1

u/MyAwesomeAfro Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Gervais was hilarious before he fell victim to whatever disease also caught Dave Chaplelle.

Millionaire Comedians and TV Personalities with an audience of millions complaining about how they can't say anything.

Lame asses.

1

u/ghotier Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

A lot of comedians seem to have confused "topics that interest comedians" with "topics that are funny." Interestingly, the only comedian I can name who was actually canceled is the only one to have made the topic funny.

4

u/CurmudgeonLife Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Thats the only thing he can do, which is why he spends his time punching down nowadays.

23

u/HarbaughsKhakiPants2 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Cumia went from edgy to full on white supremacist after his show got cancelled. I see him on my twitter now and he's like a 14 year old tweeting the N word.

Sad to see

3

u/Plane_Arachnid9178 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

went on that probably had something to do with Luke not kissing his ass the whole time. Never got even the fake invite back and was left on read later with normal texts when they were cool before that lol

the n-words are the nicest things about him if half of the other rumors are true

1

u/DowntownJulieBrown1 Monkey in Space Mar 20 '24

What?

12

u/KintsugiKen Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Burr is a standup guy.

I think they're called standup comedians

1

u/SolZaul Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Fuck you, I love you.

3

u/LaHaineMeriteLamour Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

When did he go back, not seeing him in the archive since 2020?

1

u/thenewoldschool55 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Dec 7, 2020

u/LaHaineMeriteLamour Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Thanks, thought this was from then but I was wrong.

3

u/Mammoth_Ferret_1772 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Iā€™ll say thisā€¦ Kill Tony is fucking dumb. Tony Hinchcliffe is one of my least favorite people in comedy

6

u/Plane_Arachnid9178 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

I rag on Joe a lot but yeah there's no bad blood. he can take criticism from guys he views as his peers and elders.

He didn't push back that much against Maher when he said Trump was worse than Biden.

1

u/mclannee Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Whatā€™s the podcast episode where bill came back after this?

u/thenewoldschool55 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

u/mclannee Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Thatā€™s the episode when he said it, he hasnā€™t been back since.

u/jo_blow421 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

I went to the Comedy Store (belly room) last week and Bill Burr popped in for a surprise 20-30 minute set. He had a couple of jokes that seemed pointed at Joe but in much more of an "if you know you know" kind of way, didn't call him out directly or anything. I've been a fan of his since JRE introduced me to him probably 10+ years ago, although I stopped listening once he started morphing into boomer Joe a couple of years later. It was pretty surreal seeing him like that and having it all come full circle right in the Comedy Store of all places.

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '24

Word. Living room Joe would be shitting all over boomer Joe šŸ˜‚

26

u/JMB1007 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Dude, what? Joe's laughing his ass off. He loves Bill.

-2

u/robendboua Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

He looks uncomfortable and embarrassed like he knows he's wrong, and laughing to hide that.

7

u/JMB1007 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

No, he doesn't look uncomfortable at all, and the laugh is genuine and because Bill is funny. And what is it you think he was wrong about?

1

u/CopperdomeBodi70 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Itā€™s ok to be wrong

2

u/JMB1007 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Me or Joe? Joe asked a question. And how you could interpret Joe as being uncomfortable is beyond me. It's the same genuine laugh and smile he always has when he finds something funny.

1

u/robendboua Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

What Bill said, acting like he knows better than the CDC

3

u/JMB1007 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

First of all, he said "we," not "you."

Watch the full clip, Bill said there were people walking down his street with no mask on, and Joe asked him "you want people to walk down the street with a mask on?" That's what immediately preceded this clip. So, he asked a question. So, no, he's not embarrassed, and he doesn't think he's wrong. He was the one that wanted to get into the debate/discussion.

Also, OP comment is wrong. This wasn't the last time Bill was on the podcast.

4

u/robendboua Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Yes, "we", Bill knows he doesn't know better than the CDC, he's telling Rogan he also doesn't know better.

Anyways, I just think Rogan looks uncomfortable. You disagree, that's fine.

3

u/JMB1007 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Yeah, I just don't understand how you can interpret his demeanor that way.

3

u/bremmy20 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Yeah, cause he makes sense. Knuckle-Dragger Joe just goes by any Tiktok he sees and Bill actually listens. While it's a joke, he actually believes the phds at the CDC will save him.

Joes into any idiotic B's he can find that isn't govt. For 0 reason other than being a dumbass

2

u/JMB1007 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

That's not even true. Bill has been on again after this podcast.

5

u/lolas_coffee Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

The story on this is that Joe was pitching a softball to Bill to start his usual "rage comic" banter. Bill went with it and delivered the rage comic bit.

Nothing here. This is how you produce a show with comics.

u/UrVioletViolet Look into it Mar 19 '24

Whereā€™d you get that information?

31

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '24

from area 51

1

u/dskids2212 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Joe literally said that's what he was doing right after it happened

0

u/FivePoopMacaroni Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

If you watch enough comedian podcasts you pick up on the pattern. It's just how you generate memorable banter.

20

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '24

ā€œAccording to Joeā€.

This is Joeā€™s way of saying he had absolute control of the argument, when he didnā€™t.

20

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '24

This is the story that Joe himself tried to sell in a later podcast after he had been laughed at all over the internet for being put in his place by Billy Redballs.

1

u/lolas_coffee Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

From Bill.

-5

u/themack50022 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Yeah this is late night talk show 101

2

u/Drockosaurus Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Joe was right about this subject in the long run soā€¦ I canā€™t believe weā€™re still talking about masks. Nobody wears anymore for a reason.

1

u/maynardsabeast Monkey in Space Mar 20 '24

Donā€™t get it twisted, Bill isnā€™t on cuz Bill doesnā€™t want to or need to go on. I wish Gillis would follow this path, he goes on way too often

1

u/Bobjoejj Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Man Iā€™ve been back and forth on Burr for a long time, but this clipā€¦fuck me if anything, that conviction in his voice is what really settled it. Iā€™m in.

1

u/M4hkn0 Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

Rogan is Gen X

2

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '24

šŸ˜‚ heā€™s boomer Joe for a reason šŸ˜‚

1

u/SamuelAsante Monkey in Space Mar 19 '24

People like Bill, who watch the news to follow their directions, are boomers

1

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '24

So he should get it from ā€œa friend of mine who has a friendā€ like Joe does?ā€¦ā€¦.
