Let me preface this by saying I’m not a fan at all of Bill Burr, but he recently went on Bill Maher’s show, and said he was with the students. He’s also said some inflammatory things in the past, so I’m not sure. Are we cool with Bill Burr, now?

    I think he’s always been a bit of an asshole, but he’s a charming asshole and sometimes the things he says are on point. Other times he’s just being an asshole though, but I still find that entertaining for the most part.

        It might be a schtick, but their public facade never entirely detached from their actual identity. Also, isn’t that what everyone does to some extent?

          Sure, but it’s their livelihood so I bet comedians like Burr are “taking it up a notch”, especially on TV/interviews etc. Think about Eric Andre for example. He’s probably nothing like his character irl.
