Bill Burr: I'm Sorry You Feel That Way (TV Special 2014)

Bill Burr: I’m Sorry You Feel That Way: Directed by Jay Karas. With Bill Burr. Comedian Bill Burr’s 2014 stand-up comedy special.

“Excellent showcase: A man with a mic who takes you on a one-man comedic ride. Shot (or post-processed) monochromatic. And it sometimes reminds me of Kubrick; Itu0026#39;s not hard to find a frame where that b/w looks beautiful; good balance and a somewhat u0026quot;starku0026quot; look (low ambient light) that lends Burr an iconic look–particularly when he makes a face… which he does quite a bit in this show.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you donu0026#39;t like cussing, skip it. Funny thing Iu0026#39;ve reflected upon wrt to Burr (and Oswalt, and…): Seinfeld often says that cussing in stand-up comedy is a shortcut; by which he means (sort of) cheating; hedging your bets with material short on genuine laughs by appealing to folksu0026#39; prurience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell, Burr, et.al., put the lie to that. If thereu0026#39;s anywhere that Burr cheats, itu0026#39;s in his way of morally shooting from the hip. But that doesnu0026#39;t daunt me: Even when I disagree with his moral calculus, Iu0026#39;m sincerely thankful for his shining, genuine humor, which is the stuff that *truly* covers a Multitude of Sins (as we all know, IFF weu0026#39;ve kept *our* senses of humor!).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo this cussing hasnu0026#39;t stopped Seinfeld from hosting this ilk on his Cars/Coffee show… and is it a purely marketing decision (keeping u0026quot;hepu0026quot; with u0026quot;the youthu0026quot;)? I think not!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI would be remiss not to point out that Burr has a very finely tuned comic instrument, which complements his comedic sensibility perfectly.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEnjoy!”
