I think the outrage is more amplified by the masturbating thing. It's like in Robocop where the bald-headed motorcycle rider recognizes Murphy as Robocop: "You're dead...we killed you!" But instead of the anger resulting in machine gun fire like it did in the movie, this time it's "REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" screeching.

#MeToo declared CK's career done, but he's not abiding by their decision, so the rage at his type of comedy is ratcheted up.

he tried to get pete davidson fired... so he has that working in his favor

Yep. I don't follow him real closely, but I do like him. He uses dark humor and has no limits, which is why he is funny, IMO.

I'm sure they'd find a way to tut-tut about his even doing comedy anymore if he just went up there and did 30 minutes on airline food and waiting in line at the bank.

They already did.

People went nuts when he went on stage to do a set last year.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

And I dont mean, Im like specifically not a fan. I just havent seen much from him. When he blew up a few years ago, I watched some of his stand up. It was good, not great, but I didnt watch enough to decide for good.

I used to confuse him with Louis Black.

Pete Davidson also wished death upon Louie in a standup routine a couple days ago.

Seems in line with the whole METOO thing to me. How do you separate it?

Yeah, I like him, but I don't get some of the over-the-top love he used to get. Right now, for me, no one comes close to Bill Burr.

_________________

I think he's referring to his most recent stand-up. It had nothing to do with metoo.

Oh, well if that's the case then yea, I agree.

I love Bill Burr.

Did you know he is (or was as recently as 2011) a HUGE liberal? He does a good job keeping politics out of the act.

The funny thing about the Pete Davidson-Louis CK feud is that it comes from Louis CK telling SNL management that Davidson does too many drugs and it is going to derail his career.

Since then, Pete Davidson has been to rehab for drugs, and is now openly stating that he still smokes and drinks after being done with rehab.

He is not anymore. He said he moved to L.A. and the arrogance completely changed his views. He said it on Conan and on his podcasts. He trails on pretty much anyone, politics aside.

Burr did a great job of embarrassing Bill Maher awhile back when Maher tried to get Burr to agree with him that free speech in comedy is in jeopardy. Burr hasn't been back on Real Time since.


Anyway, Louis CK is a great comedian and I hope he comes back fully, but the Parkland kids bit was just lame and unfunny, and I don't care much for Camera Hogg either.

Maher expected him to agree wholeheartedly and kiss Maher's ass like everyone else he brings on.

I love Colin Quinn so listening to some old Opie and Anthony shows with him, Burr, Patrice O neal and Burr is extremely liberal.

He has a black wife, though, so he at least has some lib street cred.

I thought I was liberal until I moved out [to Los Angeles]. And then there’s just this psycho extra level of liberal, where they are as insane as some of the people on the right. Totally extremist. I find there’s a lot of bullying out here. Just as much labeling, but they’re patting themselves on the back because they think the way they think things should be is so right because they live near an ocean.

I like where you're going!

Comedian Bill Burr called out “fascist liberals” who “attack” him over transgender issues and tell him how to raise his own child.

The host of the show first asked the comedian jokingly if he planned to raise his one-year-old daughter by the “gender binary.”

“I would never do that to my kid. This kid has, like, a developing brain, I’m gonna dump my own constitution of shit on them,” the 49-year-old comedian explained during “Your Mom’s House” podcast Saturday. “That is, like, adult stuff and you should allow kids to be kids.”

WATCH:



“Can they have a fucking childhood?” he asked, adding, “I would never have some sort of political agenda.”

Second, the host asked if he planned to “force” his “baby girl” to be “recognized as a female.”

“What do you mean ‘force my kid?’ My kid’s a girl,” Burr responded before the host explained that, nowadays, it’s “kind of a form of child abuse” to force your child to have a gender.

“I don’t agree with that. Good luck [with] how you want to raise your kid,” the comedian said. “I’m going to raise my kid the way I want to.”

“Look, my daughter is a girl, and if she wants to work on carburetors or, quote, ‘do some guy shit,’ I don’t give a fuck,” he added. “I opened my mind. I listened to you. I don’t agree with what you’re saying. And it’s my kid and I’ll raise HER the way I want to.”

“You’re not liberal anymore. You are a fascist liberal,” he continued. “But this is the thing though: they are a very small portion of the population who know where the pressure points are, and they go after the advertising money and then everybody caves in; everybody has to live off of money, so everybody gets afraid. It’s a paper tiger, and everybody is folding. People are choosing self-preservation over logic.”



That last paragraph is great. Rack him.

Yeah, he doesn't discriminate. Just calls it like he sees it, and it's refreshing.

He did go on a rant once about the arrogance of coastal Liberals making fun of middle America. He said something to the effect that middle America makes our food and builds a lot of our shit and that if the coastal super Libs were so great, they should go try to do it. Of course I loved him ever since.

(Not turning this political; just repeating what he said)

Nice. He has a unique ability to tell the truth and not get the mob socked on him. He talks about beating your wife and how first ladies should shut up and "do first lady stuff" and he never gets shit for it. Love the guy.

If he ONLY said that part, that would be one thing but apparently....


In his set, Davidson told the audience that in May 2015, when C.K. hosted “SNL” for the fourth time, the “Louie” star “told all the producers in front of me that all this kid does is smoke weed and he’s gonna smoke his career away.”

Not only that, but Davidson accused C.K. of taking his distaste to the big boss, executive producer Lorne Michaels, saying “that Pete smokes so much weed that it makes people uncomfortable.”


I mean, that may be a valid point, but I cant really get on Davidson for not liking a guy who tried to get him fired.

I wonder if he is addicted.

He probably is.

I mean, this fuckin message board is addictive to MANY.

It's interesting that there's more of a social stigma around use of weed than there is use of alcohol... until you start talking about heavy use. If someone was coming into SNL and drinking all day, every day, it would be considered noble to say something. With weed, it's just kind of laughed at and accepted.

It's as though smoking weed has a stigma, but once its accepted that someone smokes weed, the amount becomes irrelevant.
