[@torgo4ever]

anyone else notice how much he looks like the self portrait of Vincent Van Gogh ?

[@sundaze4048]

torgo4ever whoa

[@dthellland9738]

he avoided the curse of lifetime of misery with posthumous success and recogniztion

So...he looks like Van Gogh then, dumb dumb? Or does he look more like a picture of a reflection of a portrait of a clone of Van Gogh?

[@Joshualt43]

torgo4ever yeah right around the 22:00 mark

[@MrBasically810]

LMFAOOO im done!

[@thestranger4812]

Bill would make the best cab driver ever.

No lie.

Or the best comic..

I think one of his cousins is my spirit animal :D

''Is this legal? I don't think so *does U-Turn anyway*" That's driving in Boston in a nutshell.

[@jasonbales7137]

Hahahh, I love how at 8:08, Bill goes from making fun of his fellow Bostonians to quickly ranting and becoming a 100% full blown Bostonian again without realizing it. His accent even gets thicker too.

[@kamakazibob]

I would love to be that historian a hundred years from now researching what Boston was like in the early 2010's, and finding this gem

[@tec61]

Bocmaxima GOTTA see him LIVE! he’s FUCKIN HILARIOUS DUDE!!😂😂😂👏☝️

[@jimbojones091]

"Phew look at those horrible genetics" "That guy made a bad business decision like 30 years ago" "It gets better!" His comments on the people walking around are the best

[@bartlettmichael62]

This is only a decade old, but this is already so nostalgic to me. I would have been in high school growing up around Boston in 2011, I went to BU, etc - listening to Bill talk about all this just feels like I'm in the car with my uncle again.

[@bradleylovej]

Dude, I know. I went to Emerson for grad school from 2012-14, and I lived in the South End. I literally walked all around those neighborhoods he was driving through at the start of the video. What's crazy is he is talking about how much stuff has changed, yet in this video it is exactly how I remember it, but I know it's probably changed since then. It's like threefold time and memories. Cool to reminisce with Bill, and others who lived in Boston. It was a great time in my life, as I'm sure it was for you too.

[@JC545X39]

"This used to be a salami store...now look at it!"

5:15 - That moment where you can see Bill genuinely break a little bit when he's reminiscing about the swan boats, hell, that got me a bit.

Once he starts shit talking everyone, I just about lost my damn mind.

I lived in Boston for a year; the driving there is the most insane anywhere I've ever been in my fifty years of life.

[@chrislestermusic]

TaiChiKnees The street layout is absolutely moronic and it is always under construction. It’ll never be finished. No wonder the driving is insane. It’s still an incredible town.

[@mochs62512]

Ive lived here my whole life (about 20 min north of boston proper) and i would refuse to drive in the city. Only reason why i do is i have a job that requires me to go there from time to time.

If you can drive in Boston ya can drive anywhere

[@itneverends7]

@@chrislestermusic Most Boston streets aren't laid out in 90 degree grids like newer cities. The older downtown streets especially are curvy since they were originally cow paths.

[@mondoprime]

Burr just seems so effortlessly funny. A very talented guy.

[@MsNirvana67]

I always learn something new when watching Bill...he is very intelectual and witty and the way he can just fire thoughts off so quickly, back to back is awesome. What's best about his comic material is that it's all generated around facts, just brought to our attention from his one of a kind state of mind! I enjoy his take and outlook on all that he's experienced and his opinions concerning it all. Never boring!

This is a 10 minute tour of Boston followed by 14 minutes of top notch crowd work.

So who else notices the kid in his car being afraid of being filmed at 3:04?

[@victortarichia5921]

i did, but in my theory, at the time, Billy was talking about getting or not getting head from an hooker, and you dont want to be in the background of that conversation now, do you? How the kid heard them? yeah he is sentinel

[@Kigoz4Life]

drug dealer im sure :D

[@dthellland9738]

gangstalker

[@manbearpiglett-4110]

Alright let's brainstorm. I think he's a banker's accountant named Earl who called in sick to go and experience a day off, because if you don't stop and look around from time to time, it passes you by. His plan, after taking his dad's sports car, is to reverse as many miles as he drove, so his dad doesn't know. He's having the time of his life, and coincidentally is off to find a prostitute! But seeing the camera he realised all this could be ruined by the camera. And his bank manager DID see this, and went to Earl's house, and 2 bitches, Earl's dog and his sister eventually fuck him up. Or maybe he's just a drug dealer. Yeah probably just a drug dealer. Maybe he's Walter White

I can't believe I'm leaving so many comments on a 7 yr old video, but just found it. While the Sox did buy up a lot of the area, the old Cask n Flagon aka The Cask is still Open. Until about 2 years ago so was Copperfields, although they closed the Down Under AKA the down and out dive bar downstairs yeas ago LOL. Went to Copperfield all the time in college. Live music cheap drinks fun crowd And sadly I not only am I old enough to remember when BU had a football team, But for a few years I lived on Football floors in West campus. It actually ended up being a lot of fun! I know you couldn't take a shower without 1 of the guys running through and throwing ice water on you. That did get old quickly! PS One of my biggest regrets was paying rent for 17 years for a Boston apartment. I could have owned 1 of those brown stones, or a house in Brookline. Oh to be young and stupid again LOL I did wake up about 15 years in but those were unaffordable bye then. Although they were virtually giving away buildings in the south end (NOT Southie) oh I would have made a killing if I wasn't killed before was developed and now a hotspot. Well I'm having fun going down memory lane on an old video assuming no one will see it LOL

[@Cornbreadddd]

He's been doing this comedy thing so long......he just walks around making references about topical shit that you have no idea about, yet he comments on it as if everyone in the world knows about it.....and even though you don't have any idea what he's talking about sometimes, he STILL manages to make you laugh hysterically. Easily the best comedian of this generation, in my opinion. The only bad thing is, now i'm spoiled. Now, so few comedians do anything for me comedically, it's like I've been desensitized due to how funny Burr is, and no other comedians can come close...so I rarely find other comics funny these days. He makes Louis seem about as funny as a doorknob.
