Bill Burr: You People Are All the Same

Bill Burrs latest (2012) comedy special is laugh a minute stuff. If you've been following Bill's work for some time you'll notice that it includes mostly new material, and all of it has clearly been well honed on the US comedy circuit. He also includes some old stuff as well most of which has been beefed up for the new special - such as his rant about owning a pit bull or arguing with women - and the adaptations he makes to this material are interesting and cleverly made. His new material includes discussions about gun politics and buying a gun, and the politics of domestic relationships. His views on the latest Schwarzenegger debacle are hilarious while also having a real and quite interesting message for the audience.

Great to see his take on modern issues no one is willing to address. He and Dave Chappelle are not comedians, but philosophers.

Burr is the thinking person's comedian.

His shredding of false and specious use of stats by the "more and more" gun control nuts hits perfectly. This stand-up is from 2012. Using current events from that time shows its age, and the Schwarzenegger bit is a little old at this point. But The rest of it holds up great.

His bits on relationships are also great, nuance and the starkly obvious combined.

If you have seen his earlier material live or on his many late night TV appearances, this has enough new material that it will be fresh to even his fans.

A Bill Burr comedy stand-up special from the Lincoln Theatre in Washington DC.

Brilliantly funny. Captures well the Bill Burr stand-up routine: essentially a rant against everything he doesn't like as well as observations on things happening in his life and in the world. Wonderfully intense, irreverent and un-PC.

This is easily Bill's most quoted stand up special.

You'll love this if you love Bill Burr's style of angry, faux-controversial comedy.

His ability to absolutely nail topics such as guns + rednecks, women and their self-anointed superiority, gold diggers and domestic violence. All topics that very easily cause controversy, he nails with a brilliant combination of brutal honesty together with over-exaggeration without causing an uproar. He is sublime at applying the 'callback' technique in a quick, but obviously subtle way to add a quick laugh in the middle of a story to keep the audience laughing.

This is the special that was so successful he's used its content on all the television spots. For good reason too.

I've watched this many times and I'm still laughing at it.
