Bill Burr-Motherhood Isn’t the Hardest Job (Thoughts + Reaction)

Bill Burr on how motherhood isn’t the hardest job. I waited until the end for most of the commentary. I go on a bit of a tangent on this one.

As a single father, can confirm that child rearing is challenging, especially ages 13-17. Definitely not the hardest job ever. You love em.....so you do what you have to do. My kid is at 14, and I can’t wait until she returns to liking me again.

[@DeadPiixxel]

[@ivy_savage69]

She will be graduating and moving away sooner than you think. Cherish every moment

[@MidWitPride]

Teenager years are the wild years when you really don't have much control as a parent. Teenage/early adulthood is the time when the child is actually trying to figure out what their place is in the universe, and that will have a lot of misses along some hits. Best parent can realistically really do is try to help them avoid the worst of the "misses" that could potentially ruin their lives. At that point you can't micromanage their behavior anymore.

[@jwitt9637]

Raising a teenager is like trying to nail jello to a tree.

She will, just rough it out a few more years. Soon as she moves out or goes to college all that nonsense goes away and you guys will be buddies again.

"Mixed with what, another Pitbull?" I don't know why I love that joke so much ...😂

[@mikebunner3498]

Hey there girl, in one of your previous videos you mentioned Rottweilers. That got me thinking about one of the best all around dogs I have even known. Her name was Asia. Who the heck names a German dog Asia. She was a lovey dovey. 65 pounds of love! Until you got the bite sleeve out. Then she transformed into a terror. I watched her knock grown men down like they were a child. Plus she was a muncher. She would bite, then let go and bite again. Last I heard of her, some dude in DC purchased her to protect his apartment. Because it kept getting broken into. I asked how many as she has eaten so far? I was told two or three. She would allow them to come in then she ate them! Hop you like stitches..... And jail time!!!!! Don't do the crime, if you cannot do the time! Rottweilers are great dogs.. People are the problem! I enjoy your content & your channel. It is like a gun you can pet. Have a great 2024. Later lady.

Best smile on the internet, great video!

[@juanmar7in3z40]

My family has a pit bull now, and he is one of the nicest dogs we’ve ever had, same with the Doberman that we had for a long time.

[@ghefley]

Comedians are our outriders. They are the voices calling us to pause for a moment and check our trajectory. We need them. They pull back the edges and show us the gunk under the skin. We need them so much in fact that when they stop making pointed and serrated comments, when they are tamed, it is time to leave the country, because bad things are on the rise. Thanks for your reaction. Refreshing as always.

[@styleyriley]

Pit Bulls have never scared me because almost all of them that I have known have been total sweethearts. But Rotties have always scared the shit out of me for some reason. Best intro and smile in the game! Keep it up 🤙🏼

My favorite You Tuber with my favorite comedian. Today is a great day!

[@carlmcbride9606]

Lay off the simp sauce bruv.

[@kemdhll]

If you ever have a chance to see him live you must. One of the things I like about his comedy, it's very personal. Much of his stand-up is about his own life, and one subject he covers is his dog. While watching his act throughout the years you hear the arc of his relationship with his dog, and it it is just heart breaking how it ends. And yet he still makes it funny. He is one of the greats.

[@kemdhll]

@@R1SEYY They had to give the dog away. The way Burr explains it, the dog was very volatile. It would try to attack people when he walked it and it bit a friend of his. When they were going to have their first baby they decided they were going to have to let the dog go. He talk about the process he and his wife went through emotionally dealing with giving the dog away, and it was really sad.

[@w.h.p.3430]

Bill Burr, always one of my favorites! Thank you for your reactions.

[@Saddest_cat]

I love your "no intro" thing. So very refreshing, thank you! Not a parent myself, so can't comment on hardships of parenting, in general though, many people in the world having bigger problems than you wouldn't really make your problems any less meaningful to you, or make you any less likely to complain about them. Whether try to paint them as "biggest in the world" or not is a matter of personal vanity more than any objective observation, imo. By any chance, if you look to broaden comedic horizons of your channel, try Storm by Tim Minchin. I somehow think you especially would enjoy it.

[@cshubs]

I once helped a friend walk his two dogs. He had the English mastiff. I had the gorgeous, tall wolf dog. I felt like a king.

[@JargonThD]

The only animal that ever scared me was a Rottweiler. He was relatively young (although just about full grown) and hi owner really wasn't bothering to raise him well. I've been around dogs and cats, cows and horses, all sorts of domestic creatures and never had a problem with them until I told Archie to stopped whizzing inside the building and tapped him on his butt. He spun faster than I could see and was snarling at my private parts, less than two inches away. None of this is to say that Rottweilers are a bad breed. The only bad breed is one who is not given the respect it deserves to be taught to be conscientious by conscientious humans. My sister has had two Pibbles now (one died of old age) and I adore them. Thanks for your reaction to this classic bit by Bill Burr. I'm not usually at my keyboard when I see your videos so it's the first chance I've had to say how much I enjoy your work. Please, keep 'em coming.

Very good 😊 Enjoyed the Burr and your commentary. Time for more Carlin,Everyday Expressions,Flying,Driving.

[@jamesmagennis9580]

On a similar vein I'm a full time 1-1 metal health support worker. My clients are adults with spectrum disorders and learning difficulties with behavioural challenges and very high care needs. My point being that my job is often considered by observers as a very difficult job and something many people feel is beyond their level of coping ability, however I always look at even factory workers as having a much tougher job than me. The most heavy lifting I have to do is as Bill Bur says, bending at the knee and putting DVDs into DVD players lol ... but I guess it's all relative to what you find difficult eh. Love your reactions to Bill Burr. Sorry to hear about your dog ...

[@RobertH-ol6mw]

Carlin "A place for my stuff" "Baseball vs. Football" or "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television" are my favorites. Not in any order, all are great but "Seven Words..." is legendary. He was arrested for performing it.

I tried to comment on the excellent video, and four times the comment seems go into thin air. Now we see how I give a recommendation without mentioning the thing by name. Watch this space. Anyway, great video and great analysis. I wish I was that mature when I was your age. Death of a Salesman has spades of thoughtfulness and p4thos.

[@NoProtocol]

I’ve found something new every time I’ve read the book! Now I’m curious what your recommendation was going to be

[@shoos9315]

A non-haiku about a book one can read, as a recommendation to No Protocol. Not related to her current reading, or the video content, but it popped into my head as something intellectually nourishing. What could the book be called? If only you were on First Letter Terms. Dismally, but not Organically. Continually, and sometimes Tumultuously with some big Oratory in the Rectory. colour was Indigo, but Nebulous and always Grappling. Doofus! but, Attaboy, though Timid and Anachronistic

I have been following his podcast for years, his fights against injustice on all fronts, trying his best keeping it real in a world that is getting more and more confused. He taught me so much more about your magnificent country, stuff one won't find in books, but on the streets. The travels to high school cafeterias to perform at the lunch hour🤣🤣 to the sold out stadions now. Been quite the trip, learned a lot And laughed my *ss off, where to find that? And the blossoming of his relationship with the lovely Nia, giving him two children when he was 50, and al that comes with true Love.. He truly deserves all the good that's coming to him, works ridiculously hard, and still authentic. Straight up good guy. Hale the times of overload we live in, of talent and technique combined soo we can follow guys like him, and woman like Yourself, in Good Old Continental Europe. Love Your contributions!! 🌻🙏🌻

just got introduced to your channel and enjoyed your reactions to a myriad of topics. I decided to subscribe.

[@jonm5610]

Love that. No long intro well just start the video . My kinda person

[@djjam9073]

I love the this. I think where you were going with the guy on skid row is more of a risk factor. Where having a job where you are either physically or mentally taxed on a regular basis and are routinely exhausted at the end of the day. For example a police officer is at high risk on a daily basis but generally speaking patrolling is not physically demanding. They are regularly more mentally taxed. I'm not a parent but I'll bet a lot of people would agree that parenting tasks on a regular basis is not even close to being the "hardest job on the planet" by anyone's definition.

[@devinup3981]

The Duracell battery commercial is on KZbin if you want to search for it and see what he's talking about.

[@MeelogMalterion]

Iv got a Pitbull and hes a big softie, often people are so terrified of a dog just cause its big so they act all paranoid and flinch around it, and then the dog gets domineering cause the person is acting afraid and thats how they get bitten, if you just act calmly the dog is fine, you Just cant let a dog like that dominate you especially if you are the owner, you need to be firm and show it love, and that dog will be your best friend and protect you.

[@scmay29]

Wonderful... blame the person for getting bitten

[@MeelogMalterion]

@@scmay29 if that person either messes with my dog or starts doing anything to excite the dog I'm getting them away from it before they get hurt you don't play with guns you dont fool around inside a vehicle and you dont excite animals especially big ones you wouldn't walk up to a big muscle dude and start messing with him for no reason nor would you see him and immediately freak out Cause he's big and can fold you like a newspaper even though he has no reason to so show some common sense and youl be fine

Bill has a very distinct laugh when he says something that's way out of left field or a complete exaggeration. If you can pick up on that, you can tell that he's being hyperbolic for effect at times. Makes his timing even better.

[@CoiledDracca]

Going down the rabbit hole of things you are watching... and enjoying it! As for Death of a Salesman, it was required reading material in English classes in highscool, along with, Flowers for Algernon, To Kill a Mocking Bird, random Shakespeare ( and I believe the Shakespeare stuff was, just because. To get minds flowing on trying to translate, and hearing interpretations of thoughts from other students).

Since you mentioned Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conon Doyle, may I suggest another "genre" writer, John le Carré, a brilliant espionage writer. actually his first few books are actually mysteries, but when he gets into espionage, a subject he knows extremely well, considering that he was once a spy, he was able to write some of the all time classic books of the genre, and unlike Ian Fleming, his plotlines are completely authentic, while being just as entertaining.

I've had a couple Bull Terriers , beautiful dogs , loyal , loving , peaceful (usually) very protective . I did notice however, their propensity for aggression given the right stimulus. For example , with one of them , whenever I'd put on my leather motorcycle gloves , he'd take that to mean we're having combat training because ONE TIME when he was a pup I let him bite my hands with them on. He never forgot that one time and then forever after I'd have to wait until I was outside to put my gloves on , or else I'd be battling to get out the door with a massive dog hanging off my gloves.

I completely agree when it comes to big scary dog breeds. In my experience, they are the biggest babies when they are treated properly. As for parenting being the hardest job, it's all relative. My career path has been difficult, both physically and mentally, as well as demanding and dangerous at times. But, it doesn't come close to the level of responsibility and worry that goes with raising kids. Fortunately, there are infinite rewards that make it all worth it.

[@cdronk]

Like you said, being a parent is more of a lifestyle. That's pretty insightful for someone who's not a parent. It doesn't necessarily feel like a job. You just have a lot more responsibility. The rewards are many, and it is totally worth it though.

I think the stagnation of wages over the last half century has been a contributing factor to many modern stressors. Many people appear to be spread too thin. Working too many jobs, running multiple side hustles, and paying for daycare just to work those jobs. I expect modern life for most part has a substantial effect on things like physical and mental health. The really sad part is that it appears widespread, and there is little indication of positive systemic change in the future. Not that things couldn't improve; it's just that the "invisible hand of the market" has other priorities.

Hard is definitely the wrong word but extremely influential and important. It could be said a parent has the job of shaping a human that will contribute to society or drag society down. The parents may also have no impact at all no matter how good or bad they are at parenting because some children are just capable of creating their future with minimum guidance.

You're right, "dangerous dogs" are made dangerous by the way they are brought up, if they have good owners they are good breeds of dogs; which is why I wouldn't have such a breed as a rescue dog, unfortunately.
