Invoice Burr is greater than a “Paper Tiger” to comedy followers.
The Boston native’s counter-culture jokes helped pave the best way to superstardom.
He wasn’t conservative by any means, however his willingness to name out woke’s insidious tentacles set him other than the comedy mainstream.
His 2019 Netflix particular “Paper Tiger” confirmed it. He was a part of a insurgent comedy motion alongside Tim Dillon, Shane Gillis, Theo Von, Tyler Fischer, Chrissie Mayr and extra.
Refreshing. Actual. Uncooked. Trustworthy.
Mandatory.
After which Burr co-wrote, directed and starred in “Outdated Dads.”
The 2023 Netflix comedy forged him as an older father whose parenting fashion clashed with trendy mores. The movie appeared like a stick within the eye to the woke scolds who helped bury nice R-rated comedies and canceled stand-up comics.
Assume once more.
The movie’s last moments pulled its punches, siding with the woke technology over Burr’s “previous” stylings.
That was an indication.
Earlier this yr, Burr took a stupefying place on the raging California wildfires. He attacked anybody criticizing Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass for gross incompetence.
“[The fires] have been mismanaged? Like some fool on the Web is aware of learn how to handle the worst fireplace in LA? Sitting there in his underwear?” he instructed the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Stay.”
It’s not laborious to attach the dots. Story after story detailed the various methods California Democrats made the fires worse, from defunding native fireplace fighters to calamitous water insurance policies. Newsom steered thousands and thousands to unlawful immigrants whereas fireplace prevention insurance policies suffered.
Plus, any respected comedian would shred Bass for being in another country through the begin of the blaze.
Not Burr. He got here out trying dumb, to be blunt.
Extra not too long ago, Burr blasted billionaires in essentially the most ignorant method attainable.
“The quantity of individuals struggling on the market due to these f—ing billionaires, they usually obtained us all arguing liberal and conservative,” Burr stated. “We gotta cease doing that. I’m so uninterested in listening to about folks going to mattress apprehensive about what’s going to occur subsequent week.”
He was simply warming up. He stated folks now have to work a couple of job at this time to make ends meet. Why? Blame a billionaire.
“As a result of then the children don’t see their mother and father, they usually’re not getting the upbringing that they want. These f***ing billionaires… They have to be put down like f***ing rabid canine,” Burr stated.
Comedy works finest when there’s a kernel of reality on the heart. The place’s the reality in Burr’s rant? For what it’s price, the capitalistic system that yields these eeee-vil billionaires has been fairly good to Burr.
He additionally blamed billionaires for pitting Individuals towards one another. If he desires to level fingers he ought to begin with legacy media shops which routinely stoke dissent.
Keep in mind when reporters invented the time period “white hispanic” to gin up racial animus following the demise of Trayvon Martin? Or how they pushed the “arms up, don’t shoot” lie tied to Michael Brown’s 2014 demise?
Then, take into account how far-Left platforms like late-night tv and “The View” work time beyond regulation to make us hate Crimson State America.
Burr doesn’t care, apparently.

It wasn’t the primary time he comically threatened violence. He praised Luigi Mangione, the younger man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson late final yr.
“I like that f***ing CEOs are f***ing afraid proper now. You ought to be! By and enormous, you’re all a bunch of egocentric grasping f—ing items of s***.”
It’s not simply billionaires in his crosshairs. It’s CEOs, too. Does he give these rants any thought in anyway?
Now, he’s slamming X proprietor Elon Musk in essentially the most incendiary means attainable. He in contrast Musk to Adolf Hitler, claiming Musk personally flagged one in every of his X posts that stated the Tesla proprietor’s awkward inauguration strikes have been a Nazi salute.
He unleashed this rant on his newest “Monday Morning Podcast” episode.

“What a f***ing child, similar to Hitler, … He’s not even from right here, he’s from South Africa. He involves this nation and desires to show it right into a f***ing dictatorship … he doesn’t really feel that we deserve democracy.”
“Simply think about doing that, deciding, ‘I’m gonna change this type of authorities as a result of I made a decision’ … he doesn’t thoughts dwelling underneath a dictatorship if he’s on the great aspect of it.”
What on earth is he speaking about? The harpies on “The View” wouldn’t stoop so low of their Musk assaults.
What occurred to him?
He even attacked Each day Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro for rightfully calling out his pro-Luigi Mangione rant.
“I don’t know who he’s, however that man is a j***-off,” Burr stated in an interview with The New York Occasions this week. He dismissed Shapiro’s criticism as little greater than a money seize: “All he knew is that if he put ‘woke’ on what I stated, he would earn more money.”
Burr is taking a hard-Left flip, little question. That’s his prerogative.
The issue is twofold.
The nation is veering to the Proper following the excesses of progressive management. He finds himself each out of step and siding with a motion that has basically misplaced its means.
Extra importantly, is something in his latest feedback remotely humorous? Indignant? Sure. Ignorant? Positive. In poor health-informed?
In fact.
Humorous? Not a lot.
