BATTLE OF THE BILLS

I dunno why the quality is so bad, maybe it's the cigar smoke.

bill maher's immediate and childlike victim complex tells you everything about him as a person and how he sees this. to watch police brutalize students and their universities punish them and then to say that it's easy to side with the kids is genuinely delusional. bill burr continues to be a guy who gets it despite not being like particularly well-read or anything like that.

Something's gotta be written about how quick libs are to want to make "hard nosed" decisions like murdering children is okay or whatever. Some weird psychological reflex. Maybe the conservative bullying of them being naive hits home and they jump at the chance to show they're a real adult or something. But it's just so strange because objectively the "hard nosed" decision they're making is the absolute easiest one for them to support. It isn't hard at all.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 47 points 6 months ago

It's easy for them to support because it serves their interests. It's hard nosed because acknowledging that it supports their interests means acknowledging that they have the same interests as the people they position themselves as being against.

Bill Burr used to have a good bit about Steve Jobs being a slave driver.

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 24 points 6 months ago

I expect nothing less from a guy that said the n-word and tried to defend himself

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

He starts by calling them Hamas, then says it’s easy to support the kids. So which is it Bill? Are they terrorist supporters or simpleminded children? Or are you just a fascist?

I remember once a comedian in the same amount of time in Hollywood as Maher told him that he still does small time gigs in comedy clubs to keep his material fresh and so that he can be challenged by new audiences.

Maher looked at him like he grew eyestalks and asked him why should he ever do that.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Maher came up during the comedy boom, when anybody with a pulse could get a gig, and having a pulse has always been his main skill

[–] Poison_Ivy@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

It really is understated how many talentless hacks got their break in the 80s and early 90s are now polluting the entertainment industry with their endless whining.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 58 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Love the shit out of Bill Burr.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 56 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Why do chud comedians keep having him on, I swear something like this happens every time lmao

[–] CoolYori@hexbear.net 76 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They see his comedy as edgy and real like theirs only to find his brain is not loaded with conservative worms.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 70 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Bill Burr is just 70s union guy or the lovable uncle that will use correct pronouns for people, but also still talk about how much he loves women with a bush.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 39 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

he loves women with a bush.

Hell yeah

[–] theposterformerlyknownasgood@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago (2 children)
[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 14 points 6 months ago

Under socialism everyone has a bush. I don't make the rules sorry, you'll have to take it up with Carol Marks

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 31 points 6 months ago

Tbh kinda weird that women are expected to shave down there.

[–] girl_liker@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I regret to inform you that Bill Burr is very much shitty when it comes to using the correct pronouns for trans people lol

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

He is misogynistic.

Not the worst overall but definitely critical support from my perspective. He seems like someone who can adapt based on new information so that’s a good sign at least.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

Good damn it, I was going on pure vibes

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 41 points 6 months ago

They're so fucking brainless they confuse aesthetics with politics (America brain)

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I loved him in Breaking Bad

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 23 points 6 months ago

He was so great as a hapless small-time swindler getting caught up in something waaaaaaaaaay out of his league.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 18 points 6 months ago

He's the best! Love his podcast too.

Bill Burr and his fans have the biggest divide in vibes I've ever seen between a performer and their fans.

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago

My guess would be because his style of comedy is very "you know what grinds my gears?"

[–] Zodiark@hexbear.net 52 points 6 months ago

It'd probably best serve Palestinian cause to condense why and how Israel's campaign into Gaza is genocide with bullet points/talking points.

For example:

  • Cite Osama Bin Laden using the justification of collective punishment on Americans when justifying collective punishment on Palestinians.
  • As an occupying power, Israel is responsible for the welfare of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
  • Gaza is in a state of famine.
  • Palestinians in Gaza are denied medical care, food, shelter, clean water.
  • Palestinians in Gaza are being shuffled around through the strip in a labyrinth of death, being attacked wherever they are moved to.
  • All qualifies under ethnic cleansing.
  • Bring up Ministry of Intelligence leaked document on a proposition to ethnically cleanse them to the Sinai.
  • Bring up ICJ ruling that genocide is in a state of legal possibility within the Gaza strip.
  • Bring up the very dialogue Israeli politicians were making up to a month or two of October 7th musing and seeking policy implementation of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Maher relies on collective willful ignorance, racism, or naive confusion - as the facts are deliberately obfuscated by mainstream media - on behalf of his audience to justify Zionist practice of genocide and oppression.

At best, I appreciate Burr just treating this like a professional obligation rather than the simulated friendship portrayed here.

Bill Burr: “Why the fuck am I listening to you? Like you’ve done something...”

Chud Fuck:

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 23 points 6 months ago

I mean, if he had some white house staffer, some DoS ghoul, or some congress person on there, the fact that they likely have done shit on Washington wouldn't make their argument for genocide any better.

I understand that Bill Burr is shutting down Maher by reminding him that he's just a performer without any actual influence, but tbh I'd prefer it stayed that way instead of the alternative: Bill Maher having some sort of executive power.

[–] robinnn@hexbear.net 47 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Such a fucking idiotic smug loser. Bill Maher deserves the Joker treatment on live television. It's not even worthwhile to go over the nonsense he says about not attacking Israel because he doesn't actually understand what he's saying. Truly every Bill Maher fan's brain is just a puddle sloshing around in their heads.

Jesus christ, I thought this was filmed in 1987 until he said "hamas"

where did they find a camera this shit

[–] CredibleBattery@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

they're trying to get that Adam Friedland Show aesthetic

extremely rare bill burr w

Death to America

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 35 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not that rare. He might be rude and a little off on certain things but Burr is very open about being a socialist. Not a Bernie socialist either, he's a comrade.

[–] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago (2 children)

he hates philly though - even though he's from boston, which is a much worse city - so i'm required to hate him

Bill Burr racks up W's with way more frequency than he has any right to. He's a pretty cool dude

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

reminder to go watch Tim Heideckers mock Club Random episode with Fred Armisen

It's scarily accurate
