Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years

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.

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?!

One of his best specials. It is all of the things I appreciate about Bill Burr's style. If you're a long time fan of the podcast or his stand up, there's still plenty of fresh material here to keep you invested and laughing. If you're neither, it's a fantastic stand up special that feels organic and unapologetic for all the right and funny reasons. Tame by Bill Burr's standards, but well thought out and unbelievably funny in a world full of cookie cutter stand up material. There are times when the jokes drag on just a bit too long, but I'm genuinely grasping at straws trying to find constructive criticism here. One of my favorite stand up specials in a long time.

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 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.
