12 episode of his Monday Morning Podcast: “It’s the most exciting, fun gig I’ve ever done since I got into show business. READ MORE: Mansplaining the vice-presidential debateįollowing his SNL performance, Burr talked about the experience on the Oct. Hopefully Burr’s SNL performance reminds other comics that comedy is supposed to be risky. The recent cold open featuring the vice presidential debate was basically campaigning for Democrats. There was a time when being a comedian was dangerous, but today comedians like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel perform for clapture (when an audience claps in agreement rather than just laughing because a joke is funny) and SNL frequently offers thinly veiled political advocacy masquerading as comedy. I mean that’s kind of a great existence.” I don’t know – I’m telling jokes – I mean, what’s the worst-case scenario? They end my acting career that doesn’t really exist? Boo-hoo then I just do a podcast and do standup. “I’m going to go off, because I want the freedom that I had, that I used to have as a comedian where I could just say whatever the fuck I wanted to say,” Burr said. 27 podcast episode, Burr said that he was going to let loose during upcoming performances and make whatever jokes he wants to make, because he was tired of feeling censored. READ MORE: Bill Burr says comedy is being ruined by people taking offense pledges to speak his mind 17 episode, a dour Burr said that he felt like he’s been unconsciously censoring himself, but that he intended to make jokes again regardless of the consequences. It’s something that fans of his Monday Morning Podcast have seen coming. And it was clear he felt free to make the joke he wanted to make. “Let’s go back in history here, okay? You guys stood by us toxic white males through centuries of our crimes against humanity, you rolled around in the blood money, and occasionally when you wanted to sneak off and hook up with the black dude, if you got caught you said it wasn’t consensual.”īill Burr's Monologue! ⬇️ /oyK72fNxrO- Saturday Night Live – SNL October 11, 2020īurr was beaming throughout the entire monologue like he was genuinely having a lot of fun. I don’t know how they did it,” Burr said. “The Woke movement was supposed to be about people of color not getting opportunities, the at-bats that they deserved, finally making that happen, and it was that for about 8 seconds, and then somehow, white women swung their Gucci-booted feet over the fence of oppression and stuck themselves at the front of the line. Here is the joke that has been getting the most attention: This guy is daring Leftists to try to cancel him. The veteran stand-up used his monologue to take on cancel culture, wearing masks during coronavirus, Woke white women, and gay pride month. It’s not enough to save it.Comedian Bill Burr hosted Saturday Night Live for his first time over the weekend, and used the opportunity to deliver the edgiest jokes told on the show in decades. (Score: 3 out 10)Įnough is Enough - Beck Bennett plays a low-level actor who puts a tone-deaf anti-Trump song on Instagram only to be told repeatedly that it is pathetic and desperate, and that he needs to take it down immediately. It’s really about the strange times we’re living in! Funny, right?!” Watch here. I mean, how did this pitch go? “So, the idea is this: A white guy is giving a Black guy shit because he lost a bet, and the Black guy is upset because cops keeping murdering Black people, but the white guy pretends to feel bad, but he’s mostly just excited that the Bears won and he’s gonna rub his Black colleague’s face in it! It’s not really about race, see? Or about how Black people are always complaining about cops killing them. For better or worse, it’s a very Bill Burr sketch (mostly for worse). The Blitz - Bill Burr plays an NFL analyst on an NFL show who is taunting his co-anchor, only to realize that his co-anchor is not interested in talking about the football because another Black man has been killed by a police officer. That this is the first skit of the night does not bode well for the rest of the show. Social Distance Get Together - I thought the skit was going one place, and it went a completely different, not-all-together great place, where a married couple blows a gasket every time they are corrected for using the wrong word (e.g., “unpresidented” instead of “unprecedented.”) I thought they were gonna zig, and instead they crashed and burned.
