Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years

This is the best of Bill Burr's entire comedic persona, but more distilled, concentrated and refined.

This special might not be for everyone, particularly those people who want him to remain as the Bill Burr of 10-15 years ago. Buy, as a long-time fan, I can safely say that he's reached a nexus of his comedic evolution in "Drop Dead Years." He combines his own personal evolution with introspective, bald-faced honesty (pun intended?) that's still very much so the same Bill Burr. He isn't rebranded, muzzled, or watered down - he's just a wiser, reflective lunatic who, despite having opened his heart up a bit more, somehow still spares no one.

Its weird, the first half is mostly Bill talking about how hes learning to chill out a bit in his old age...and it wast funny. It came off as safe, middle of the road, aging comedian stuff...I was worried that Bill had finally become the staring old man whos actually dead on the inside from his famous bit....but around the half way point, the old troll goblin we all love comes out and starts swinging for the fences. I had some good laughs.

Honestly I hope Bill is taking care of himself, but I think this special shows us 2 ways his career could go at this point...into safe mainstream weak comedy, or into the future as a bonafide immortal comedy legend.

Bill do what you gotta do in your home life, but keep that RAGE on the STAGE. It's you at your best.

The people who rated this special lower than 5 are in the category of people who Bill talks about that wear namaste shirts and make heart shapes with their hands.

If it's not for you, be fair and rate 5. People are such harsh a**holes these days.

My husband, brother and I are huge fans on Bill, especially 'I'm Sorry You Feel That Way' and 'Walk Your Way Out' specials, and we were so pleased to have the same kind of vibe back with this one.

I agree with some of the other comments that it's funnier when you rewatch it because of the things you miss.

He is one of the GOATS, we had to pause to stop laughing in parts.

It's fascinating seeing "Ol' Billy Red Bush navigate becoming a father. I first heard his material in 2004-2007ish on this cool new app called Pandora. I heard these cool 3 minute bits as part of a comedy channel. Back then he was an angry hilarious butthole. A few months later I saw him in person at the Improv in Houston, Tx. Back then he was just a young ranting comic with solid material that connected with me as a 24ish year old. Now, all these years later, I see him evolving, as both a comedian and a man and a father . And as a dad of 21 years, I can relate to this so much . The bald ginger is 100 authentic.

It's refreshing to see that stand-up comedy can still be genuinely funny. Too often, comedians rely on saying something "edgy" just for shock value, but when Bill does it, he actually brings up meaningful points in a way that feels natural and well-crafted. Great comedy makes you think, and that's exactly what his latest special accomplishes-it's both thought-provoking and entertaining from start to finish. This is his best work yet, showcasing his ability to analyze different subjects with nuance, wit, and precision. It's this sharp insight and masterful delivery that solidify him as one of the greats in comedy.
