Bill Burr's Legendary Dad

from MMP 01.16.14

[@TheFamousMockingbird]

He gives a very different portrait of his dad now than he did back when he shared very imtimate details of family dysfunction and emotional neglect he felt he got from his dad. I'm sure both of them finally got to a point where they can express feelings to eachother and have talked about it privately to a fairly deep level. That video of him telling his story as he called it is really hard to watch, you can see him hurting

[@fe5018]

What video are you talking about? I hadn't heard him characterise it as neglect in those terms before....

[@noogie003]

F E Look up Bill Burr “The Moth”. It’s tough to watch but it’s an incredible story.

[@fe5018]

@@noogie003 much thanks bud 👍 Jfc that was upsetting. Tbh OP, I sincerely doubt they ever got to the point of being able to talk about this stuff in a deep and meaningful way, I think it's more likely Bill just evolved enough as a person to be able to have compassion and understanding for his dad and what made *him* act that way so can now see the good alongside the bad.

[@mcflyguy8873]

TheFamousMockingbird it hurts me watching it

[@ValiantKnight7983]

nah, that never happens. if they have a relationship now it's because bill learned to stop expecting more from him. my old man was the same way. old guys like that never change

[@johnmiller5679]

This was probably the highlight of his fathers day. Probably laughing all the way to work with the image of his kids waiting for a bus that’s never gonna come. Then he stepped into work and the laughter stopped.

[@TheAmazingMrMcFlyy]

When i feel bad about My dad i look up these Classic stories and think of how bill burr always calls him a great man after these stories of torment

[@stonedjesus9887]

I got a love/hate relationship with my old man too and it's kinda similar to the way Bill speaks of his father so these stories kinda resonate wit me. My point being that one can think their father is a fuckin prick (like I do) but also live the guy to death (like I do), I got no shame saying that even tho my old man is a fuckin asshole pretty often, he's also my best fuckin friend on this waste of a planet

[@lisad476]

Omg awesome. Love the bus stop prank. If I had thought of that for my kids. Your Dad rocked that.

[@jaymcd8577]

For anyone whose watched F is for Family you gotta wonder did Bill actually get stuck under the bed while his parents are goin at it lol!

[@user-fg1tt7py6e]

I was wondering the very same thing. I also wondered if the incident where he ruined the new tv with a damn magnet actually happened during his childhood.

[@fahadalmathkour325]

Kali Kiel yeah most of the stories from f is for family seem realistic

Mr Burr I saw your son at the bus stop...with all his books. Genius

[@TheGoldcountry]

Fucking awesome ."How do you "know it" but you can't prove it?" Love that.

[@andrewprovost7208]

Fuck I can relate to this story so much lol. Used to walk up say " hey dad" he'd snap back "you don't know that" I believe I was nine or ten lol

🤣🤣🤣

The truth sets most people free.

[@scottyp2505]

“What do you mean you know he did it but you can’t prove it... I don’t have time for this shit’ 😂that reminds me of something that happened when I was growing up. My friends and I did something stupid and my friends dad had a very similar response to a neighbor

[@Gotien718]

your dad's the man

funny story but his dad was horrible, there is a video that bill almost cries talking about him

[@theoozmachine]

[@TheFamousMockingbird]

Lucas Alves it's really hard to watch, you can see the pain he's having sharing those details but based off that video him talking about it candidly and on stage was probably very healthy for him in terms of really coming to terms with it

[@irishelk3]

@@LucasAlvesMusic Yeah i gathered that, he was talking about him before in one clip live and he threw milk at his baby brother...
