Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years

The show is terrific. But I feel that Bill is being pulled back all the time the way that Jim Jeffries was. Once fully unleashed again we could get him back to his funniest self and when funny he is superb.

I would like to urge everyone to report false and political reviews like the one by a character called Khalid_t. Assuming he is real he posts political statements completely at odds with Bill Burrs comedy. So very odd.

Back to Bill, there are some corkers to be enjoyed here. Don't fast forward or skip because his asides and one liners are him often at his best.

The downside?

Why does he shout so much?!

It's great seeing how Burr has evolved since Chappelle Show while growing up and staying true to himself. It's also fun seeing him riff on subjects he has seemingly already done, but has found new perspectives as he has matured. There are probably going to be some political tears in other reviews despite the fact he doesn't let either side off the hook. I still love that he is one of the few white comedians to tackle American racism in a thoughtful, nuanced, and hilariously truthful way. His last couple of specials weren't bad but they didn't land with me as his older material had. And it sounds like he has been through a lot later in life. As a guy in my late 40s it resonates. His joke about fighting his dad was so on point I had to pause it. Definitely worth the watch and looking forward to seeing him continue to grow.

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.

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.

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.
