Bill Burr talks Dane Cook & Bo Burnham - WMBD

[@Barfbagdontsag]

Bill Burr seldom says something negative about another comic. And when he does he keeps the names quiet. Guy is a class act and deserves all the success he is enjoying.

I love that you guys are positive instead of sh*tt*ing on anything different from your styles of stand-up.

I've noticed something about Bill Burr: he's a much kinder, more supportive, positive and down to earth guy than you might expect given his stand up material. Don't get me wrong I find him hilarious but like being an angry asshole is kind of his brand.

[@Tommy-Tom-Tom]

@@drummerrck To me, younger Bill Burr's "aggravated cynicism" persona seemed to free-flow like a volcano, from somewhere deep. You didn't get a sense there was any acting involved. I think welcoming his daughter into the world helped him mellow out a good bit. Mine damn sure did for me.

[@mrdaym]

@@Tommy-Tom-Tom Also shrooms.

[@Deguello23]

@@drummerrck A lot of that stuff on stage is him engaging with that crotchety instinct while also tearing it down. It's not all just that, but... I liken it a bit to Archie Bunker, a character created to make fun of that type of person, except with Burr it's not so much a character as it is "here's some crap that runs through my head about this or that when I'm in a mood, gone over and made funny when I get in a better one."

[@MrHeroicDemon]

hearing one of my favorite comedians talk about my favorite youtuber from 15ish years ago feels like a fever dream how big Bo Burnham is loved and makes me feel justified into showing everyone Bo's videos for this long and always go back to it. Seeing the up roar of "Inside" for everyone during Covid was truely rightful. He deserves all the love. He battles with himself, and needs to worry less. I hope in 20 years he relaxes and just makes fun of everything and everyone. I can't wait to hear it.

[@JFox4587]

That’s because you grew up. It was only funny to people who were low IQ or still children. His material was garbanzo beans, dude just acted really silly and animated and got laughs for lookin like a goof ball. Then you got older and saw it for what it was.

[@daroaminggnome]

@@JFox4587 cope, the amount of jealousy over the guy was insane back in the day. Burr's spot on, bunch of elitists trying to tell everyone what comedy is meanwhile Dane was selling out a 20,000 seat show and killing it.

[@JFox4587]

@@daroaminggnome agreed, he was sellin shows out. But I hated his fuckin ass since day one. I remember all my friends quoting him, and it was infuriating cuz nothin they said was even a joke, there was no set up and no punch line. You’re right of course, no one can define comedy. If anything, he just highlights how important stage presence is, cuz his whole act was in the performance. I’ve done some stand up before, and im a fuckin stiff. But shit, I write jokes that are funny no matter who is sayin em, cuz I can’t perform. And I don’t like comedy that is a performance, I prefer witty clever shit. I like to think it’s style preference more than elitism, but idk maybe ur right 😂

I saw Dane a few years ago at the comedy store, you could definitely tell he was humbled by his experience, he was still great.

[@TexasWreckShop]

Dane Cook felt like the first famous comedian of the 2000s. I remember him hitting his stride during my high school years and it was like everyone knew his act verbatim. White kids, blacks, mexicans. Mainstream crossover success. That was lightning in a bottle. He got a bit too full of himself it seemed and the overexposure was real. Was weird to see people try and pretend he was never funny or they werent lauging their insides out just a year or two prior. That guy is the definition of striking while the iron is hot.

[@mattkosakowski7582]

Bo is great. Interesting that Rogan never mentions him; probably because Bo did a great podcast parody on Inside.

[@andrew348]

It's because Rogan has to work so hard to be a C level generic comedian while Bo is blazing a trail. Joe doesn't want to expose himself.

[@nichtsistkostenlos6565]

I'm a big fan of Bo Burnham's comedy and definitely much less of a fan of Joe Rogan's comedy, but why the hell would you assume anything about Joe Rogan based on whether he's mentioned him on his podcast or not? How often does another random comedian that's not present come up in random conversation? I have absolutely no doubt Bo's been invited onto Joe's podcast.

[@zero11010]

is bo burnham polarizing?? i thought he was certified, i've never seen anyone speak ill of the man or his work. his "Inside" special is one of the most layered, intricate, original, thought-provoking pieces of content i've ever seen, the value he puts on authenticity is absolutely unmatched. it's impossible to listen to "kanye west rant" and not respect the man

Starting out in the 70s, maybe, but by the time he finally hit it big he definitely didn't do that. Not excusing it, but to get ahead? I guarantee lots of comics did it, especially back then when it was harder to get caught. It's not like today where the age of the internet plasters everything online and you're over-exposed to every wannabe comic with a camera.
