It's weird, I don't know if Bill Burr has ever made jokes that took it too far. Definitely a couple bad takes, tho. Reason it is weird is because I have an inherent distrust of Bill Burr, just can't place why.
The only thing I can remember is that he had some bad takes about cancel culture. It was pretty minor and he’s been great otherwise.
There's no such thing as cancel culture, it's celebrities being angry that they have repercussions for being shitty people. I think his frustration was with the fact that you can make one mistake and or have one quote taken out of context and people will define you based on that.
He said "You can't take one incident or one quote and say, 'That's who you are.' It took me 50 years to figure out who I am and I've been with me for 50 fucking years. How are you gonna figure out who I am in a joke?”
This isn't a quote in support of Dave Chappelle of Roseanne Barr who have made careers of being assholes.
