It’s weird, I don’t know if Bill Burr has ever made jokes that took it too far. Definitely a couple bad takes, tho. Reason it is weird is because I have an inherent distrust of Bill Burr, just can’t place why.
My distrust comes from the ever-present possibility that his public persona is an act, because it’s Hollywood. Outside of that, the dude has always come off genuine and comes from a place of good faith. I would absolutely consider him more an ally than enemy.
He hosts weekly podcasts where it’s usually just him with the occasional guest or his wife. He would have to be very committed to the act to keep it up.
Did you write for the uncle in Napoleon Dynamite, or is that just how you do? You’ve got your wolf suit on, struttin’, and all that alpha vision of the real Truth®. Yeah. I see you, we all do.
Well, except you, but that’s the whole story right there, innit?
Napoleon Dynamite was extremely well written and had lots of very unique concepts and highly developed characters hidden behind the surface level embarrassing stupidity humor. I also liked that they expanded upon a lot of it in the cartoon followup series.
And fuck if you don’t? Fucking LOOK. What does the Luigi crowd stand for? What’s the CEO stand for? Profits over health? Whose health? Do you think? Or just follow your McDonald’s ass fucking gut feeling?
“Luigi crowd?”
Please, make some fucking sense of it for me so you don’t make me think you’re a moron with no thoughts. I don’t want to, you’ve got to have some fucking basis for this shit, right?
Luigi crowd stands for murdering people you don’t personally like and getting away with it.
The CEO stood for exactly what the CEO who immediately replaced him stands for.
Nothing changed because of Luigi. He’s basically an Anarcho Capitalist who doesnt believe in democracy and instead thinks we all need to police our neighbors with deadly force. Here’s an idea, if you have to kill somebody over the state of healthcare then next time kill the people getting in the way of you having free healthcare: Republican Senators.
He may as well have killed a McDonalds Employee in protest of their corporate office. In fact, his cult almost tried to kill an actual innocent McDonalds employee, too.
Actually, quite a lot changed with Luigi, but as that’s been discussed on Lemmy all over the place, forward and backward, ad nauseam, we’ll skip it here.
What I’m finding more fascinating is you deriding ‘murdering people you don’t like’ in the first paragraph, and in the third paragraph recommend killing Republican Senators.
You’re generalizing the Luigi crowd how you see fit. The problem is the fact that corpos pay congressmen to increase profit margins, and CEOs are beholden to boards of directors within that. The problem is that both republicans and democratic senators and representatives are so easy to corrupt through citizens united and super pacs. The problem is that healthcare in America is overpriced and shitty.
The Luigi crowd isn’t the few people focused on their anger, they’re just the loudest. The Luigi crowd, to me, is the bill burr’s that see that Nestle CEO’s that want to hoard and sell rain DO deserve to be shot, or the system needs to change. I don’t pretend to know how, but when money is considered free speech, we end up here.
What about the Epstein list, and the clear evidence of Trump being closely associated with Epstein and Ghislaine?
I don’t think we need to police our neighbors, but when the police commit crimes, what’s the answer? When the authority fucks around, how can they find out? Corpos like united healthcare deny care to people based on their bottom line, and dole out huge amounts profits to the select few at the top that have no relation whatsoever to the research. Their job is to increase profits. That’s the job. And to follow regulations set by congressmen that they tip in their favor with legal bribes.
He didn’t make a difference through the immediate effects of his action, but he republicized the wrongness of the American healthcare system to a new generation, and the fact that the other side is the one that is creating and adjusting new, more fucked up regulations. He became a symbol to a hell of a lot more than his cult you minimize him to.
There’s no such thing as cancel culture, it’s celebrities being angry that they have repercussions for being shitty people. I think his frustration was with the fact that you can make one mistake and or have one quote taken out of context and people will define you based on that.
He said "You can’t take one incident or one quote and say, ‘That’s who you are.’ It took me 50 years to figure out who I am and I’ve been with me for 50 fucking years. How are you gonna figure out who I am in a joke?”
This isn’t a quote in support of Dave Chappelle of Roseanne Barr who have made careers of being assholes.
My first thought was the whole ‘broken clock right twice per day’ spiel, but then I had the same epiphany.
Yeah that guy’s a piece of shit --> wait, he’s a piece of shit right? --> …I can’t remember why I think he’s a piece of shit… am I confusing him with someone else??
Seeing your post, there’s some Mandela shit going on here.
I initially clicked through to say exactly this. I’d gotten a kick outta his early stuff, but when Chapelle went off the rails, I took a hard look at my standards for comedy.
I hadn’t seen a lot of his stuff leaving up to and including the animated series, but I happened across that show at Red Rocks, and I immediately had a new respect for him. In truth, I saw a lot of myself in his challenges with anger, compassion, attention span, polarized thinking, etc., and had been testing out microdosing for about a year by then. I felt that I was seeing him for the first time, the way it resonated with me, personally.
Beyond all that, he’s come a crazy long way from the undeniable and admitted asshole he was ten years ago. Mushrooms, or no. ✊🏼

Maybe because he’s been on Rogan’s podcast? To be fair he’s one of the few to have called him out.
“I’m not gonna sit here with no medical degree, listening to you with no medical degree” 👏

everyone’s public persona is an act.
including your own.
Yes but a wealthy celebrity has significantly more money and power to keep that act up, making it more effective.
The only disadvantage they have is higher levels of scrutiny, but again, money and a team of people fixes that pretty quick.
He hosts weekly podcasts where it’s usually just him with the occasional guest or his wife. He would have to be very committed to the act to keep it up.
you just big mad he sided with peasants when they supported whoever killed the Unitedhealth parasite.
Which side is the peasants? Is it the one with the Mangione Enterprise heir with an ivy league education?
Idk if Atlas is shrugging but I sure am.
I’m sorry, did you just flex Ayn Rand in that argument? That is some permafrost-level irony.
Its not my fault the hail corporate philosopher takes are aligning with your cult of personality ideology.
Rebutting with a logical fallacy isn’t exactly helping your position, friendo. 🤦🏼♂️ That tracks, though.
Skill issue if you couldn’t parse it.
lol this is legitimately cope
Yeah I was absolutely devestated by the argument they presented “your words not make sense to me”.
Did you write for the uncle in Napoleon Dynamite, or is that just how you do? You’ve got your wolf suit on, struttin’, and all that alpha vision of the real Truth®. Yeah. I see you, we all do.

Hot Take
Napoleon Dynamite was extremely well written and had lots of very unique concepts and highly developed characters hidden behind the surface level embarrassing stupidity humor. I also liked that they expanded upon a lot of it in the cartoon followup series.
Oh so you’re just a total piece of shit damn
Yes, it is. Because he gave up all of that to take a stand.
told ya folks, big mad 🐸
What’s the other side, though?
Fuck if I know. The luigi crowd will do anything to make it look like theres some coordinated opposition making them the victims.
And fuck if you don’t? Fucking LOOK. What does the Luigi crowd stand for? What’s the CEO stand for? Profits over health? Whose health? Do you think? Or just follow your McDonald’s ass fucking gut feeling?

You mean like how those CEOs are murdering people for profit?
At least the Luigi crowd have an argument.

I was never a moral absolutist. The context and results are different.

Lmfao this idiot thinks democrats want “free” healthcare. Good lord you are stupid
Atlas shrugged off idiots trying to mooch off technological gain that made VALUE that was worth money. The fuck are you shrugging off?
The only thing I can remember is that he had some bad takes about cancel culture. It was pretty minor and he’s been great otherwise.

He looks like an average dude?
He looks lile Billy Corgan, if Billy had red hair and knew how to smile
