I like Bill Burr. Does not hold back, just says it how he feel it is.
TheMetalAndTheFunk
Irishda
Bill Burr has grown a lot since his early work and this answer in general.
Drylegs
Doesnt help when the road to breaking is to be included/"let in" at some point. Friend got ghosted on gigs after denying clubowner a date.
rossimus
For guys a club owner might ghost you because you got a date with the girl they like. Were all eating a shit sandwich, get in line.
You can't compare being denied something for circumstances you can't control to essentially be required to date or even fuck a stranger 1/
But are you saying that men and women are being treated equal and have the same opportunities in this business? 2/2
czpek
Not true. Women comedians are often unappreciated and it’s more difficult for them to get an equally good contract (if any)
clintwestwud
Bill has helped me with a lot in life. I like him even more after he called rogan a fucking idiot for complaining about wearing masks
dzack
Probably an unpopular opninion, but same vibes ?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium
sparkywires200212
That's alot of F-bombs. +1
GMRelm
It's the Boston accent
steveohnoes
As stated Bosten accent is just basicly replacing the pause or "um" with fuck
Thesource85
... Tig... anyone agree?
Andalite
Open up a big club with what money, Bill? Why dodge the original question to pretend like women just don’t work as hard as men?
RobBobertyYT
He's kinda right but also fuck those "women can't be funny" guys who make it harder for women to be comedians.
Woolencadavers
I hate this fucking question.
GenStrike
Of course, it's bait to get him to say the idiotic shit he says.
I actually think he didn't respond well here. He's very aware of how much his own humour is feminine. I wish he just said ask my ¢unt and FO
4vie
I'll freely admit that I've not seen a whole lot of his material, but how is it feminine?
Balanced, empathetic, self aware. Conscientious. Sensitive. I agree with the spirit of his answer but the question shouldn't be dignified.
I see! OK. Hmh. I should look into his stuff.
ElbowDeepInAJedi
Women can be funny. This particular one isn't.
TejelPejel
I've seen some of his standup and am not a big fan, but his opinions on social matters and being a human have made me like him quite a bit.
anim8rjb
then you'd dig his podcast
That I might like. I liked the recent thing of him with Joe Rogan, where Burr said not to give medical advice because neither are doctors.
MonoclesAndManacles
I love his stand up, but I completely understand not liking it. Regardless he's one of the most logical comedians out there.
I've only seen a few of his things, but I felt he was just yelling and repeating the same things over and over.
AdoroDesserts
What about f is for family
I actually started that before his standup. I watched maybe 5-7 episodes of the first season and didn't love it either.
Gasp! To each their own
Agreed. I love me some animated nonsense (Big Mouth, South Park, etc) but couldn't get into F is for Family.
Family dysfunction and yelling isn't for everyone
RobotAccomplice
obviously women can be funny, just a shame that some people have chosen Amy Schumer as their hill to die on
NothingbutChaos
Did she really say "I'm an entrepreneur . I'm a white person!"?
mikeatike
I enjoy that she has no idea that he is talking to her and her producer and not the camera.
jaakkopaakkonen
Nah. That's not it. She's just pretending for the camera.
bububub2
No, she knows- but she can't stop the act because that's her job- they have no prep for this sort of response.

Did you mean to say that the truth was obvious but it missed her?
Yepp, very obvious. And i wanthe the thorhammer in there, dunno why. you are indeed the heroThatWasNeeded
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment aka thorhammer, Halo features the Magnetic Accelerator Cannon (MAC),
also featured prominently in the plots of other video games, such as Tom Clancy's EndWar, Mass Effect 2, Call of Duty: Ghosts
PieMasterOfTheRealm
I love how you've linked a Wikipedia on Kinetic Bombardment like that makes this anything but more confusing
HawkmanXLII
Pardon?
Badprenup
The weird esoteric stroke you had all over your keyboard
I don't see where i am being 'esoteric'. A thorhammer isn't that subtile. and neither was Bill.
Draenic
Really the only clue he gave is when he points at her head asking if she has a brain. You can see her gears turning and she aaalmost gets it
clamdriver
"Can woman be funny?" She knew what was coming with a stupid question like that.
Stupid question. That like asking "do you think it will be dark tonight?" All woman can be funny so why even ask that unless you're baiting
KesselRunner
Who is she? The show?
She's the cigarette girl from Holiday Inn out by the airport.
Lamplord
She knows, just like Rogan she's just baiting Burr into one of his signature spiels.
DustinDustyDust
That's a horse shit cop out excuse to ask stupid questions.
Rips4w
browsererror
Yeah, she looks right at the camera and smiles, "Got him!"
Lionskull
As much as i disagree with him, Rogan and Burr are close friends and he was giving Burr shit to get him riled up.
But you would know that if you watched the episode, instead of just the clip
Maybe Joe was seeing if rhey could go down a nutty trail. That man is a foolish parrot and speaks out of school
No, I watched that episode and he was just getting Burr riled up. I can't talk about Joe's opinions after January tho since he left youtube
sysaphiswaits
Why did she go off on him when he said, “of course.”

material, which is not fine. I have almost zero reference here, and jokes aren't funny when they have to be explained to you. I don't think
that makes me sexist. If women want more successful female comedians they need to get out there and support them.
BigBritishManChild
Looking back 10-20 years I'd agree but nowadays there's loads of good female comedians out there (at least in the uk)
rakkarn80350
Yeah. No.. Problem is that many of them try to hard and fail. And then you have the ones like Amy Schumer..
CthulhusGreasyBallsack
there's good ones in the US too, but all the media coverage goes to the bad and controversial ones.
KennyBlankenshipandVicRomano
Sarah millican is my favorite comedian
Labyrenth
Aisling Bea is great too
NaughtButOne
I got turned off (sorry, lack of a better term) to female comics around the 00s when every joke was VAGINAS AMIRITE? Never really went back.
Would happily accept some recommendations. I like dry humour or observational stuff a lot, but will check out anything.

I genuinely can’t believe the comments section of this. There is so much undeniable research on this shit. Fuck his attitude & those who do
KramersCat
Bill gave a reasonable actionable solution to a problem. It's not his job to coddle others and promise that magically issues will be fixed.
megalominor
It's because it's Bill Burr and imgur loves Bill Burr. Sadly, the idea that someone you like can say dumb shit is beyond most people..
Not read the research on conscious and unconscious bias, attitudes like this +; hear female comics talks both it. Hear females in most
Industries talk about it. It’s exhausting to work 3-10x as your male counterparts for the same opportunities. Denial doesn’t help. Exhausted
AF working so so much harder than my counterparts in tech. I even created an org to help women of color in this category bc of attitudes
Like this. You can’t change it if you can’t acknowledge it. His white make privilege is showing and I’m not here for it. 11 years on Imgur
And today I reached a new low point of WTF is wrong with the Internet and this community sometimes?! @imgur if you don’t allow racist things
IWishIHadABetterNickName
Love that guy
everyone loves Burr

Not gonna lie, that would've made a much better show than Everybody Blows Raymond or whatever it's called.

Not the Empire.
I honestly don't. I enjoy his realistic take on things, and I think he's genuine about it, but he is not funny.
Brittle7299

MiniYams
Still my favorite show he's done is where he's in front of a drunk philly crowd and he just shits on them for the 10 minutes he's paid 1/2
to be on stage, counting it down the entire time. He won that crowd over hard, and no one else could've.

Bill burr is a legend

Bill burr is the voice in my head when I'm angry about something but can't say anything
YourmomusesTinder
I mean have you ever listened to Iliza Shleshinger? Michelle Wolfe? Betty White? Tina Fey? Ali Wong? Nikki Glazer? They're fucking hilarious
georgioporgio
Sarah Silverman, I love her
StatisticallyInsignificantCanadian
As a Canadian, shout out to Katherine Ryan. Also, Aisling Bea and Sarah Millican kick ass.
the problem is that they don't get any media coverage, all of that goes to people hating on Amy Schumer
volunteervancouver
Christina P, Jen Kirkman, Morgan Murphy all killers.
BenHobson
Kathleen Madigan pretty damn funny too.
Joejitsu
Schlesinger & Wolfe are personal favorites of mine. I like Glaser on other peoples things but couldn’t finish her recent stand up.
Nalianna
only heard Nikki for the first time yesterday. Fell off my chair laughing. (actually. i hurt my back). she's hilarious.
Yes! Love them! And each of them says the complete opposite of what this white guy’s ill informed, privileged attitude says
jasari
Shawnthegirl
Fuck yeah! And Bill isn't wrong, but it's harder to start your own club AND be undeniable. The question of are women funny is bullshit. >
people need to stop asking that and do what you just did - tell people about them.

+1 for Iliza Schlezinger! Anyone reading this who's not familiar with her work, do yourself a favour and get to it!

And apparently that kept him from greatness...
Dionysus187
Hated the whole "boss/subordinate" shit they tried to pull just because he was more famous, like he was going to "ruin" them
Yeah im not aware of any threat or consequence to their refusal. In fact they had the power. He's no fuckin Weinstein
In many cases its not about asking for permission though, some people are asking to not be passively or actively worked against.
Most. Most people are. Even white males usually by other white males that were also being worked against at some point.
Listen to his thing again, everyone has their own shit sandwich, be undeniable.

In this context, what does "I'm on entrepreneur, I'm a white person" mean?

I hear what he's saying, but that a lot easier to do when the "system" isnt set up to make sure you cant do exactly that
Comedy is hard. No one deserves to succeed in it. Be undeniable or fuck off.
datphone777365
Hmm was def harder b4 internet, now its alot easier comparatively to start even niche projects. Look at how many vtubers go solo n do well.
Agree with you. It’s def easier. Easier doesn’t mean it’s just as easy for women in a boys’ club. It’s generally disproportionately harder
Sure no argument there if you are trying the same pathways the "boys" used. Which is what bill stated. Rn it easier to fuck the system.
Yep. Don't do it myself but have friends saying you have to be "let in" at some point to make a wage. Despite previous achievements.
sackof
Whoever downvotes such comments should really check out podcasts of female comedians, also listed in the comments.
This.
Invada
What system?
How the branch/business culture works
Class System
AfterFeather
Unconscious bias of women's competence, inability to be funny, and a power structure generally managed by men, though the bias is not exclu
Exclusive to gender, accompanied by the already sexual assaults laden nature of show business. Would be my assumption.
searchforyeti
How exactly is the system set up so that female comedians can't succeed? What a clown comment
You have Google, right? This seems like a thing you can look up yourself.
"OK google, how exactly is the system set up so that female comedians can't succeed?" ... *crickets*
Women in general are seen as less funny than guys. This absolutely makes getting shows and headlining and all that more difficult.
Profesh comedy scenes where you essentially have to be friends with the right people to get gigs where it matters to get exposure or paid.
That didn't even remotely answer my question.
So imagine in the scenario I just described. If a woman needed to make business contacts, and those contacts are all male.
Itchy73
You don't think the gal or guy running the club isn't just going to run the funniest act so they can sell the most drinks tho?
Wish this was true but it seems to not be in many cases. Clubowners might say they do but extreme bias culture can grow in any circumstance.
mikpat70
Stupid question and answer that totally ignores the systemic sexism in the comedy industry. She comes off clueless but he comes off ignorant
07116522718
You ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer.
PunkHippieBoy
oh. a measured and nuanced response to difficult topic. this will fly as well as a fat brick in this echo chamber.
(It really isn't tho - he's just complaining that "women don't try hard enough")
The question resulted from some stupid men saying things in the internet. Questioning the whole industry is another, much bigger topic.
I disagree. Hes very much touching the whole industry when he claims that it's just as easy as to "just do it".
Besides that, there are many successfull female comedians. But to be honest I don't know If sexism in that industry is a thing.
Narrator: But it *was* A Thing.
There are some successful African American people in this country so I guess racism doesn't exist either?
Just because you don't see or experience it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There are people out there right now experiencing it every day.
bankruptsteve
Sigh, everyone is so quick to make fun of the girl because they think she’s too dumb to know that bill is directing his comments at her —
From what i have seen in Interviews, sexism between Male und female colleauges is not existent?
Between colleagues maybe not. Between people in power and people not in power it is definitely occurring.
Probably like in every other business, which of course sucks. But Bill would support these females. And his wife is a feminist by the way
Guy, spend 30 seconds and just google “sexism + any random industry”.
Yeah that is a problem everywhere
Sonicschilidogs
"rampant sexism" right .... Which is why a new Ghostbusters with all women was made, despite the writing being dog shit.....
This dude is the kind of person who thinks they’re incapable of racism because they voted Obama.
Who? Me or Burr?
Yes.
BSwann
If Burr someone should tell his black wife Nia that he's racist.
Assbandit
Using an outlier to make it seem like that's the case as a whole is a pretty lazy argument.
Okay dude, then how about Thunder Force, Charlie's Angels in comedic-ish remake with baddie Bosley, gender swapped Overboard, etc
It's adorable you got mad and downvoted me lol. Also still doesn't compare whatsoever relative to all the male comedies. Nice try though.
Okay?
Okay so now there's 4 examples.
I guess we can just ignore all the other crappy comedy movies by Kevin James, Adam Sandler, David Spade, etc.
Oof, Sandler Movies are national treasures, but David Spade movies...... Yeah it's probably best

people need to stop asking that and do what you just did - tell people about them.

+1 for Iliza Schlezinger! Anyone reading this who's not familiar with her work, do yourself a favour and get to it!
RackhamTheRed
I did. Actually not that bad

Dang it, I completely misspelled her name. Well anyway, check her out.

If you want to achieve greatness, then stop asking for permission

VaultGirl69
You have to take what you earn these days. Problem is, most people's shoes don't have straps...
pizzapartyhard
Something something Louis CK joke...
tentacularfleshscape
I mean he very explicitly asked for and recieved permission, and stopped if it was rescinded
pizzapartyhard
And apparently that kept him from greatness...
Dionysus187
Hated the whole "boss/subordinate" shit they tried to pull just because he was more famous, like he was going to "ruin" them
tentacularfleshscape
Yeah im not aware of any threat or consequence to their refusal. In fact they had the power. He's no fuckin Weinstein
Drylegs
In many cases its not about asking for permission though, some people are asking to not be passively or actively worked against.
Dionysus187
Most. Most people are. Even white males usually by other white males that were also being worked against at some point.
MiniYams
Listen to his thing again, everyone has their own shit sandwich, be undeniable.
Syko73
In this context, what does "I'm on entrepreneur, I'm a white person" mean?
prettydumb
poor play at a subject change
Spiffytown
Good question. I think she had a packaged rant ready to go, and wasn't ready for Burr's answer.
SkycladNightStroller
Exactly
bekindtoanimals
She said she’s a web person
phukerstone
web person.
wasistlosinderhose
"Web person"
martineb72
I Think she said, "I am a web person"
bekindtoanimals
Yes she did
Syko73
Ok, maybe I heard it wrong
Gonetogetsomemilk
Or a weeb?
Cr4zyC4tLady
Funny thing is, even if that is what she said, wtf is a “web person” that doesn’t even make sense.

Still painful to hear stupid answers too

I hear what he's saying, but that a lot easier to do when the "system" isnt set up to make sure you cant do exactly that
rossimus
Comedy is hard. No one deserves to succeed in it. Be undeniable or fuck off.
datphone777365
Hmm was def harder b4 internet, now its alot easier comparatively to start even niche projects. Look at how many vtubers go solo n do well.
Fresh1
Agree with you. It’s def easier. Easier doesn’t mean it’s just as easy for women in a boys’ club. It’s generally disproportionately harder
datphone777365
Sure no argument there if you are trying the same pathways the "boys" used. Which is what bill stated. Rn it easier to fuck the system.
Drylegs
Yep. Don't do it myself but have friends saying you have to be "let in" at some point to make a wage. Despite previous achievements.
sackof
Whoever downvotes such comments should really check out podcasts of female comedians, also listed in the comments.
rossimus

This.
Invada
What system?
Drylegs
How the branch/business culture works
sackof
Class System
AfterFeather
Unconscious bias of women's competence, inability to be funny, and a power structure generally managed by men, though the bias is not exclu
AfterFeather
Exclusive to gender, accompanied by the already sexual assaults laden nature of show business. Would be my assumption.
searchforyeti
How exactly is the system set up so that female comedians can't succeed? What a clown comment
taylornbear
You have Google, right? This seems like a thing you can look up yourself.
searchforyeti
"OK google, how exactly is the system set up so that female comedians can't succeed?" ... *crickets*
Seanspeed
Women in general are seen as less funny than guys. This absolutely makes getting shows and headlining and all that more difficult.
Drylegs
Profesh comedy scenes where you essentially have to be friends with the right people to get gigs where it matters to get exposure or paid.
searchforyeti
That didn't even remotely answer my question.
Drylegs
So imagine in the scenario I just described. If a woman needed to make business contacts, and those contacts are all male.
Itchy73
You don't think the gal or guy running the club isn't just going to run the funniest act so they can sell the most drinks tho?
Drylegs
Wish this was true but it seems to not be in many cases. Clubowners might say they do but extreme bias culture can grow in any circumstance.
mikpat70
Stupid question and answer that totally ignores the systemic sexism in the comedy industry. She comes off clueless but he comes off ignorant
07116522718
You ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer.
PunkHippieBoy
oh. a measured and nuanced response to difficult topic. this will fly as well as a fat brick in this echo chamber.
GenStrike
(It really isn't tho - he's just complaining that "women don't try hard enough")
Bedman86
The question resulted from some stupid men saying things in the internet. Questioning the whole industry is another, much bigger topic.
Drylegs
I disagree. Hes very much touching the whole industry when he claims that it's just as easy as to "just do it".
Bedman86
Besides that, there are many successfull female comedians. But to be honest I don't know If sexism in that industry is a thing.
GenStrike
Narrator: But it *was* A Thing.
mikpat70
There are some successful African American people in this country so I guess racism doesn't exist either?
mikpat70
Just because you don't see or experience it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There are people out there right now experiencing it every day.
bankruptsteve
Sigh, everyone is so quick to make fun of the girl because they think she’s too dumb to know that bill is directing his comments at her —
Bedman86
From what i have seen in Interviews, sexism between Male und female colleauges is not existent?
mikpat70
Between colleagues maybe not. Between people in power and people not in power it is definitely occurring.
Bedman86
Probably like in every other business, which of course sucks. But Bill would support these females. And his wife is a feminist by the way
bankruptsteve
Guy, spend 30 seconds and just google “sexism + any random industry”.
Bedman86
Yeah that is a problem everywhere
Sonicschilidogs
"rampant sexism" right .... Which is why a new Ghostbusters with all women was made, despite the writing being dog shit.....
bankruptsteve
This dude is the kind of person who thinks they’re incapable of racism because they voted Obama.
Sonicschilidogs
Who? Me or Burr?
GenStrike
Yes.
BSwann
If Burr someone should tell his black wife Nia that he's racist.
Assbandit
Using an outlier to make it seem like that's the case as a whole is a pretty lazy argument.
Sonicschilidogs
Okay dude, then how about Thunder Force, Charlie's Angels in comedic-ish remake with baddie Bosley, gender swapped Overboard, etc
Assbandit
It's adorable you got mad and downvoted me lol. Also still doesn't compare whatsoever relative to all the male comedies. Nice try though.
Sonicschilidogs
Okay?
Drylegs
Okay so now there's 4 examples.
mikpat70
I guess we can just ignore all the other crappy comedy movies by Kevin James, Adam Sandler, David Spade, etc.
Sonicschilidogs
Oof, Sandler Movies are national treasures, but David Spade movies...... Yeah it's probably best
