Bill Burr: I'm Sorry You Feel That Way

" I'm sorry you feel that way " is by far Bill Burr's best work. The continuity is fluid and natural. I have been following Burr's work since the last two specials; which were great. He's just pure funny. If , like me, you connect to his material, you'll come back for more. Watch his interviews with Conan; they really shows his wit and outstanding sense of humour. There is a multitude of topics he talks about in this special, and none of them lack humour or the "punch". Burr's personality adds to the comedy. There is a sort of raw-finesse in his act. This I believe comes from experience and a natural comedic flair. I have hardly laughed this much watching any other comedy special. He's one of the best we have. It is worth one watch, at least. If you're easily offended or have ever been offended by stand-up, don't watch this or any stand-up comedy because that's hypocritical.

Any seasoned fan of standup will appreciate the boston brawler at his cynical, repugnant, patronising best. He tears into societal standards and expectations in unabashedly unique style. Simultaneously aggressive yet sardonic. Educated and versed while shooting unapologetically from the hip. His religion bit is profound and brave, clearly depictingl internal struggles while steering completely clear of sentimentality. Watch the ginger prophet at his aggressive, in your face, thoughtful best...

It's another Bill Burr stand-up, so you know what to expect.

I won't say much. This standup has the "helicopter story", a truly masterful comedic act that will make it to history. Bill Burr is an icon.

Excellent showcase: A man with a mic who takes you on a one-man comedic ride. Shot (or post-processed) monochromatic. And it sometimes reminds me of Kubrick; It's not hard to find a frame where that b/w looks beautiful; good balance and a somewhat "stark" look (low ambient light) that lends Burr an iconic look--particularly when he makes a face... which he does quite a bit in this show.

If you don't like cussing, skip it. Funny thing I've reflected upon wrt to Burr (and Oswalt, and...): Seinfeld often says that cussing in stand-up comedy is a shortcut; by which he means (sort of) cheating; hedging your bets with material short on genuine laughs by appealing to folks' prurience.

Well, Burr, et.al., put the lie to that. If there's anywhere that Burr cheats, it's in his way of morally shooting from the hip. But that doesn't daunt me: Even when I disagree with his moral calculus, I'm sincerely thankful for his shining, genuine humor, which is the stuff that *truly* covers a Multitude of Sins (as we all know, IFF we've kept *our* senses of humor!).

So this cussing hasn't stopped Seinfeld from hosting this ilk on his Cars/Coffee show... and is it a purely marketing decision (keeping "hep" with "the youth")? I think not!

I would be remiss not to point out that Burr has a very finely tuned comic instrument, which complements his comedic sensibility perfectly.

Enjoy!
