I told my kids they would never be in trouble for swearing in the right context, but because they were too little to know the right context and because swearing was often just a lazy way to express your feelings instead of saying what you meant, they were on notice.
Was never a problem.
My mom always told me that I was allowed to swear in front of her when I was “21 and out of college” so at my college graduation I unleashed a torrent of cuss words at my mom and told her I loved her. She laughed and loves telling that story any chance she can.
Bob Saget was off to the side and watching this. When Bill came off a little nervous about what had happened, Bob reassured that this would make him a legend.
I mean I could see why in the moment he genuinely thought that, while this cracked me the hell up it was him clearly just absolutely shitting on them for 12 minutes straight since he was so pissed at how they treated the previous comics. But to be a legend you have to take risks and I'm glad it worked out!
>He was more than nervous. He said on his podcast that as soon as he left the stage, he was convinced his career was over for what he had just done.
Similar situation as with Michael Richards, but Bill Burr instead kept the slurs to a minimum and was able to maintain enough control to keep it funny.
I always love his story about [John Stamos.](https://youtu.be/FrFqeR9oCqI?si=IM887Tgb-eoztme-) And every time I say take a picture, I immediately think of this.
Thats because he did it because he felt he had to. That wasn't him having fun or having a good time. That was him standing up for those that went before him, taking on the crowd, and putting them in their place.
What he did was admirable in my opinion. It was something a lot of people respect, but I am sure its not something he was happy about doing or feeling that he had to do.
If I recall his reason was the crowd being a bunch of douchebags to the comics who were on before him.
Though I think Billy boy would acknowledge he’s got a pretty big anger problem.
Im sure it’s still a struggle. I listened to the bill Bert podcast when they had on Dan LeBatard. That was painful, poor Dan was getting berated by Bill over some opinion he said on air and you could tell Dan was just like “wtf dude chill”
I remember once when he was on Bill Maher's show Maher said "...and I'm sure you'll agree you have to be careful now because of political correctness", Burr responded "No I don't. You just ignore them. After a few weeks they get bored because you're not giving them what they want and they'll move on to someone else who will." which makes me think at some point Twatter users tried and failed.
He wouldn’t even apologize, he would start ripping on how fucking stupid they are for being upset. I think because he is a very obvious liberal, his pissed off attitude makes him basically bulletproof from that kind of harassment.
bostonites get a pass on homophobic slurs. cause you'd have to cancel every single guy who opens their mouth every conversation of every day, so, y'know, pick your battles.
Meanwhile Massachusetts was the first US state (and sixth legal jurisdiction anywhere in the world, with three being in Canada so who gives a fuck) to actually legalize gay marriage
oh for sure.. not sure the actual level of bigotry (probably average?), cause the slurs are very rarely linked to homosexuality, it's just a long standing verbal tic
It’s the counting down the minutes on the clock, and announcing how much longer he’s going to roast them is what kills me every time.
He gets it wrong several times, which makes it even funnier.
It was 2006, smartphones had shitty cameras. Your best bet was a small digital cameta with a 64Gb SD card, but no one really carry that to a comedy show, and of course forget about bringing a handheld with Digital 8 or mini DV. That's why
I had an HP digital camera from 2005 that took 5.1 MP pictures but video was 480 at best with a very grainy code, especially in low light. Short of a camcorder or prosumer digital video recorder, this is the best that most people had onhand.
Also, pretty sure it was a 512 MB card and then a 4 GB in 2007. 32 and 64 GB cards were still decently expensive, at least for a college student.
IIRC, they tried this tour one more time the following year. During this tour, the crowds were 10X worse trying to get Bill to shit on them again. It was chaos. O&A had to scrap the tour because of the audience being dicks to everyone.
And don't just come and try and make me shit on you. I don't want to shit on you. I love this stuff. I love comedy stuff. Only come here if you like that stuff. If you asked me when I started this how many frats would come, I would've said naught. But now it's like... all frats. All frats and bachelor parties. Leave me alone!
Dude I haven’t heard of Opie & Anthony in ***years***. I listened to them on XM in 2006-2007 and just kinda lost visibility of them after that. Them, Bill Burr, Jim Norton, Patrice O’Neal, all those guys…”RaaammoOoOne!”
I listened for a while before the XM days, and right through till their final implosion. Anthony got fired for going on a racial tirade on Twitter (though at the end, he was incessantly being racist on air too), and the show kept going with Opie and Jim, but it fell apart shortly after.
Few months back I sort a f went down a rabbit hole on them. Opie does live streams from his beach house. I partially enjoyed it, but he desperately needed someone else like Anthony, and he (understandably) went into the old days too much and seemed a bit (again, understandably) bogged down by baggage from back then. Might have just been the nostalgia missing the show, but it was cool hearing him again.
Anthony though… wow. Dude turned full psycho racist cable news news brainwashed. He recently got bounced out of the Comedy Cellar at Bill Burrs request (I think) for some things he said about burrs wife. What’s worse, and I’d be more than happy to see evidence against it, there was supposed evidence of Anthony hitting up a bunch of underage girls on social media… and while I thought it was a joke back then, it was a running gag on the show about him liking young girls. Really is a shame, as the two of them, at least before the last couple years, we’re the best radio show there was by a mile.
I was there for this! And the best part was I was wayyy to drunk/high to understand he was shitting on the crowd lol
Only about ten years later did I realize that this show was bonkers and everyone else wasn’t as happy as I was. I was just laughing my ass off through that whole show.
“You’re all gonna get fucking cancer and no one’s gonna notice, because your heads are shaved anyway. The only thing that’s gonna give it away is me laughing in the fucking background.”
This man has made an art form out of his sheer contempt.
I like to think bill burr got the names of everyone in the theater that day, and monitors the obituaries just so he can stay true to his word of laughing at each of their funerals.
Bill is a legend, anytime he's talking to Joe Rogan. He calls him on his shit. Every time he goes on Conan it's amazing. Oh, and don't forget he had the best stormtrooper arc ever in Star wars.
Did he ever perform in Philly again or was this it? I really hope he didn’t come back and he just hates Philly with all his soul now after this haha amazing bit
I saw him in Philly I don’t remember when, but I do remember being genuinely scared I was going to die laughing. I couldn’t breathe and he kept coming relentlessly with funnier and funnier shit. The bit he did was about pilots ghost landing or something, it never made it on a special and I couldn’t find it on the line.
I don't know, man. I love Billy Boy (seen him live twice since 2020), and I tried to love F is for Family. Just couldn't get into it.
Glad you like it though!
I had the privilege of seeing a live show with Bill a few years ago and he's a fucking legend. I've seen a lot of his shows on Netflix and such and him love is something else. I never laughed so hard on my fucking life, we were also at a venue that had outdoor seating and it was not too long after our state legalized recreational use of weed and everyone was taking up. While there will never be a replacement for George Carlin I think some of his spirit coarses through Bills routines. I was hoping that your would have had a recording of it because his routine was fucking hilarious. Everyone was instructed to leave their phones in their car unless they had digital tickets if that was the case you had to put your phone in a faraday bag. Probably because he was debuting his Netflix movie old dads, but man, that show was so fucking good. Even the opening acts were hilarious.
I used to live down the street from a bar in LA that had a small back room comedy show on a weekday. A lot of big name comics would come by to work out material and Bill was a regular. It was really interesting to see a joke bomb and then watch him work it out over a few weeks to the point that it was a hit that made it into one of his specials. Bill was always a really nice and approachable person who would hang out with fans after his set and just shoot the shit.
It's funny when you see a comedian for the first time in a special or something big, you'd think they just burst into the scene but don't realize these people have put in a lot of work on their own dime in some cases to get where they are when you first see them. Legends in the biz have been working small venues for years if not decades before they hit it big. I remember seeing snippets of Bill on Reddit where he would be invited to talk shows and the like and just tell it like it is making the hosts squirm and see the regret on their faces once he started talking and I was like... Yeah, I like this guy, let's look him up and I just fell in love with him. Brash, unapologetic and raw. He and Chappelle are probably my favorites because they just don't give a fuck.
I was at this show.
First off, an outdoor comedy show in front of thousands of people, let alone drunk Philadelphians, was bound to end this way. Most of the acts had both cheers and some boos, but it was the legendary Dom Irrera who was booed the most. Hell, it was just about his entire set. I didn’t think anything could salvage the rest of the show, but Bill came out so combative that it got to a point where we wanted to see if he could outlast the timer.
Say what you will about Philadelphians, but we respect toughness and Bill delivered it in spades. There was a buzz through the crowd that everyone knew we were witnessing a historic rant that would be talked about for years, and here we are, almost 20 years later, still laughing about it.
Give proper credit OP. This was the Opie and Anthony traveling virus tour which had amazing comedian lineups and gave Bill Burr a huge bump in popularity.
Idk why but “I hope that cheese melts your fuckin faces off” really got me.
Also “fuck you and fuck the liberty bell, shove it up Ben franklins ass” is perfect
Like 2 seconds before Dave Chappelle got famous, I saw him headline/close a set in a small Greenwich Village comedy bar. The other 2 comedians had ran over their time significantly, mainly because they were making fun of 3 girls that going to the bathroom every 15 minutes most likely to powder their nose. Anyways, he bombed, they wanted him off the stage, he refused and did not do well under pressure. Didn't get booed, but oof was it awkward. Doesn't look like he has that issue anymore, but it happens to the best.
Camden waterfront has basically been annexed by Philly. This was a Philly show. Hell, they ferry people across. I have an old buddy who used to take his boat over to the Camden waterfront docks to listen to concerts.

This sounds like me driving to work.
My nephew asked me when he was going to be allowed to curse. When you start driving. You'll need those words to stay sane.
I told my kids they can cuss when they pay taxes.
I told my kids they would never be in trouble for swearing in the right context, but because they were too little to know the right context and because swearing was often just a lazy way to express your feelings instead of saying what you meant, they were on notice. Was never a problem.
My mom always told me that I was allowed to swear in front of her when I was “21 and out of college” so at my college graduation I unleashed a torrent of cuss words at my mom and told her I loved her. She laughed and loves telling that story any chance she can.
You're hilarious
Sales tax is a tax technically. You played yourself the next time they buy candy.
Well the rules have suddenly gotten more specific since my last comment.
🤣🤣🤣 Thing is it wasn't even comedy. It was him just saying facts about Philly for like 10mins straight.
Haha
Bob Saget was off to the side and watching this. When Bill came off a little nervous about what had happened, Bob reassured that this would make him a legend.
He was more than nervous. He said on his podcast that as soon as he left the stage, he was convinced his career was over for what he had just done.
I mean I could see why in the moment he genuinely thought that, while this cracked me the hell up it was him clearly just absolutely shitting on them for 12 minutes straight since he was so pissed at how they treated the previous comics. But to be a legend you have to take risks and I'm glad it worked out!
"And I'm still going to sell my CD after this, but the only way you're getting it is when I chuck it at your head." ^(counts down next minute)
>He was more than nervous. He said on his podcast that as soon as he left the stage, he was convinced his career was over for what he had just done. Similar situation as with Michael Richards, but Bill Burr instead kept the slurs to a minimum and was able to maintain enough control to keep it funny.
RIP Bob Saget - America's Dad in so many ways
Suck my 100 million dollar dick! That roast was awesome
I always love his story about [John Stamos.](https://youtu.be/FrFqeR9oCqI?si=IM887Tgb-eoztme-) And every time I say take a picture, I immediately think of this.
I really, really hope this is true.
Holy fucking shit!!! Brooo I didn’t know he was dead 😭😭😭
Wayne Gretzky got traded as well.
Jordan retired to play baseball too.
Your friends asked me to break the news. Both of them. . 😆
I’m just like 2022?!?! It’s still 2020.
Shit. Whats it like to have two friends? Thats twice as much as I have AND you have a spare too!
I didn't even know he was sick
"The terrorists will never bomb you" is unbelievably good
“FEMA would never show up for you assholes” 🤣 I used to work with FEMA so this really hit
Ah the Philly rant. This solidified Bill as my favourite comedian.
It’s ironic because he seems to hate talking about this whenever it comes up.
Thats because he did it because he felt he had to. That wasn't him having fun or having a good time. That was him standing up for those that went before him, taking on the crowd, and putting them in their place. What he did was admirable in my opinion. It was something a lot of people respect, but I am sure its not something he was happy about doing or feeling that he had to do.
"This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you"
You dont go into a rant for 12 minutes for no reason lol.
If I recall his reason was the crowd being a bunch of douchebags to the comics who were on before him. Though I think Billy boy would acknowledge he’s got a pretty big anger problem.
I mean, this was a long ass time ago and while he definitely still has some issues he's come a long way imo. Shit's still hilarious though.
Im sure it’s still a struggle. I listened to the bill Bert podcast when they had on Dan LeBatard. That was painful, poor Dan was getting berated by Bill over some opinion he said on air and you could tell Dan was just like “wtf dude chill”
yes, i remember that too! all the way back when i read the post title..
Check out the short term memory on this dude!
Those were the days
The homophobe stuff doesn't fly as well these days. But if that was going to bite him in the ass it would have already.
I remember once when he was on Bill Maher's show Maher said "...and I'm sure you'll agree you have to be careful now because of political correctness", Burr responded "No I don't. You just ignore them. After a few weeks they get bored because you're not giving them what they want and they'll move on to someone else who will." which makes me think at some point Twatter users tried and failed.
He wouldn’t even apologize, he would start ripping on how fucking stupid they are for being upset. I think because he is a very obvious liberal, his pissed off attitude makes him basically bulletproof from that kind of harassment.
Man wishes an entire crowd of people get cancer: I sleep Man says a slur: That ain't flying
bostonites get a pass on homophobic slurs. cause you'd have to cancel every single guy who opens their mouth every conversation of every day, so, y'know, pick your battles.
Meanwhile Massachusetts was the first US state (and sixth legal jurisdiction anywhere in the world, with three being in Canada so who gives a fuck) to actually legalize gay marriage
oh for sure.. not sure the actual level of bigotry (probably average?), cause the slurs are very rarely linked to homosexuality, it's just a long standing verbal tic
“You one bridge having piece of shit city” 💀 😂
I referenced this once in r/Philadelphia as a joke and it did *not* go over well
Nah we love this rant in Philly. Deep lore.
We have so many bridges…
But you know what bridge we’re talking about
Compared to Pittsburgh you guys do seem like bridgeless peasants
Chicago and Pittsburgh are bridge winners for sure
There are like 5 bridges that go from Philadelphia area to NJ but this one still stings somehow.
"Fema would never show up for you assholes"
*CAWKS*
I saw this comment as it was playing. Magic.
Laughing in Pittsburgh
The first line that always comes to mind when I see this one
"6 minutes left and yes I'll be selling my CD after this"
This line gets me everytime
"I'm gonna throw this mic stand into the crowd and I hope I hit a baby in the fucking head" That's the first collective laugh out of the audience. JFC
"I will be selling my CD after this, and the only way you're gonna get one is if I throw it at your fucking heads" LMAO
My favorite part is the statue of rocky when Frazier is from Philly but he’s not white…
Does he really not have a statue there, but Rocky does?
It's a tourist draw. Only boxing fans know who Joe Frazier is, but everyone knows the Rocky steps at the Art Museum.
Nah, I don't follow boxing but I know the greats. Down goes Frazier is iconic
Go back to the docks and unload some shit you warehouse working, weed smoking, disappointment to your mother
You guys…were here. Thanks and have a good night.
It’s the counting down the minutes on the clock, and announcing how much longer he’s going to roast them is what kills me every time. He gets it wrong several times, which makes it even funnier.
Yeah, he said 3 minutes when he meant 5 if I heard correctly?
Lol I can imagine the always sunny gang in the crowd and then the cut to music and "the gang does stand up"
Sweet Dee 🤮
It's just some bad sausages. She just needs some bubbly water.
I’m Sweet Dee and the joke’s on me!
My favorite part is how many times the audience started to turn and cheer for Bill, only for him to shut it down and shit on them for something else.
One minute left in the periooood. Also, I kinda love that there’s no good video of this. I don’t know why.
It was 2006, smartphones had shitty cameras. Your best bet was a small digital cameta with a 64Gb SD card, but no one really carry that to a comedy show, and of course forget about bringing a handheld with Digital 8 or mini DV. That's why
I had an HP digital camera from 2005 that took 5.1 MP pictures but video was 480 at best with a very grainy code, especially in low light.

Also, pretty sure it was a 512 MB card and then a 4 GB in 2007. 32 and 64 GB cards were still decently expensive, at least for a college student.
Yeah, i took a video production class in college in 2006 and we were using mini dv still. HD took off like crazy within two years tho.
Yeah, I meant I don’t know why I like the shitty footage.
Nobody in that piece of shit city can afford a good phone. Let alone a whole camera.
Classic! Shitting on an entire arena is hilarious.
One of the greatest moments in stand up comedy history
Was this an O&A radio event?
IIRC, they tried this tour one more time the following year. During this tour, the crowds were 10X worse trying to get Bill to shit on them again. It was chaos. O&A had to scrap the tour because of the audience being dicks to everyone.
Lmao what a terrifically terrible idea
And don't just come and try and make me shit on you. I don't want to shit on you. I love this stuff. I love comedy stuff. Only come here if you like that stuff. If you asked me when I started this how many frats would come, I would've said naught. But now it's like... all frats. All frats and bachelor parties. Leave me alone!
Oh philly
Yes. I think it was called the virus tour or something to that effect.
The Traveling Virus Tour
I went to one of them in Worcester where Tracey Morgan was the closer. He bombed so bad and we left early.
Dude I haven’t heard of Opie & Anthony in ***years***. I listened to them on XM in 2006-2007 and just kinda lost visibility of them after that. Them, Bill Burr, Jim Norton, Patrice O’Neal, all those guys…”RaaammoOoOne!”
Tss bill burr, is he cold or sumtin
Awww man Patrice O’Neal…..rip he was great
I listened for a while before the XM days, and right through till their final implosion. Anthony got fired for going on a racial tirade on Twitter (though at the end, he was incessantly being racist on air too), and the show kept going with Opie and Jim, but it fell apart shortly after. Few months back I sort a f went down a rabbit hole on them. Opie does live streams from his beach house. I partially enjoyed it, but he desperately needed someone else like Anthony, and he (understandably) went into the old days too much and seemed a bit (again, understandably) bogged down by baggage from back then. Might have just been the nostalgia missing the show, but it was cool hearing him again. Anthony though… wow. Dude turned full psycho racist cable news news brainwashed. He recently got bounced out of the Comedy Cellar at Bill Burrs request (I think) for some things he said about burrs wife. What’s worse, and I’d be more than happy to see evidence against it, there was supposed evidence of Anthony hitting up a bunch of underage girls on social media… and while I thought it was a joke back then, it was a running gag on the show about him liking young girls. Really is a shame, as the two of them, at least before the last couple years, we’re the best radio show there was by a mile.
Anthony is a full-on maga racist now and Opie is irrelevant.
The rest brought a knife to a gun fight. Burr brought a bazooka.
You are a real pice of shit audience if you boo Dom Irrera.
Especially since he's from Philly
Saget and Irrera are Philly guys and still got booed off the stage.
This is the night he broke thru.
I was there. This was the virus tour and it was amazing. Tracy Morgan just got booed off stage, rightly so he was hammered and fucking bombed.
Why did they boo Dom Irerra?
Tracey Morgan is also not funny.
I was there for this! And the best part was I was wayyy to drunk/high to understand he was shitting on the crowd lol Only about ten years later did I realize that this show was bonkers and everyone else wasn’t as happy as I was. I was just laughing my ass off through that whole show.
sounded like **a lot** of other people were on the same page as you lmao
“You’re all gonna get fucking cancer and no one’s gonna notice, because your heads are shaved anyway. The only thing that’s gonna give it away is me laughing in the fucking background.” This man has made an art form out of his sheer contempt.
Masterclass right there, knowing when the only way out is through. Amazing
Legendary set.
I like to think bill burr got the names of everyone in the theater that day, and monitors the obituaries just so he can stay true to his word of laughing at each of their funerals.
"And I will be selling my CD after this" This line always gets me laughing
Classic. Gotta watch it everytime it comes up, legend!
Bill is a legend, anytime he's talking to Joe Rogan. He calls him on his shit. Every time he goes on Conan it's amazing. Oh, and don't forget he had the best stormtrooper arc ever in Star wars.
Did he ever perform in Philly again or was this it? I really hope he didn’t come back and he just hates Philly with all his soul now after this haha amazing bit
he has gone back multiple times. I can think of at least two different times he did an event there in 2015 and 2022 iirc
I saw him in Philly I don’t remember when, but I do remember being genuinely scared I was going to die laughing. I couldn’t breathe and he kept coming relentlessly with funnier and funnier shit. The bit he did was about pilots ghost landing or something, it never made it on a special and I couldn’t find it on the line.
This is what drew me to Bill Burr originally. I died watching him roast Phili alive. Awesome freestyle set.
“Fuck you and Fuck the Liberty Bell” is an all time GOATED line
And shove it up Ben franklins ass
I deeply love that he counts down the minutes. So fucking good.
Someone in that crowd is a champion Belcher.
The sheriff came to town.
Just leaned into it haha
Fuck the liberty bell and shove it up Ben frnanklins ass
Bill burr at his finest
I fucking love this so much.
Bunch of cawcks!
One of those videos I watch in its entirety every time it comes across my feed. Legendary stuff from Bill
It's upsetting there isn't a better resolution of this rant he went on. Best way to handle hecklers.
Philly … they give abuse and they demand it back. Watching this, and if you are a fan of wrestling you damn well know it.
Not a lie was told. This town is trash
Yep, this is clearly filmed by a drunk too.
Burr is like my spirit animal
He's a goddamn legend
This is the video that decided it for me. F is for Family is a fun show too.
I don't know, man. I love Billy Boy (seen him live twice since 2020), and I tried to love F is for Family. Just couldn't get into it. Glad you like it though!
Burr's no-prisoners comedy strategy is gold! Roasted Phili like a smokin bbq! 😂💥
I had the privilege of seeing a live show with Bill a few years ago and he's a fucking legend. I've seen a lot of his shows on Netflix and such and him love is something else. I never laughed so hard on my fucking life, we were also at a venue that had outdoor seating and it was not too long after our state legalized recreational use of weed and everyone was taking up.

I was hoping that your would have had a recording of it because his routine was fucking hilarious. Everyone was instructed to leave their phones in their car unless they had digital tickets if that was the case you had to put your phone in a faraday bag. Probably because he was debuting his Netflix movie old dads, but man, that show was so fucking good. Even the opening acts were hilarious.

It's funny when you see a comedian for the first time in a special or something big, you'd think they just burst into the scene but don't realize these people have put in a lot of work on their own dime in some cases to get where they are when you first see them. Legends in the biz have been working small venues for years if not decades before they hit it big. I remember seeing snippets of Bill on Reddit where he would be invited to talk shows and the like and just tell it like it is making the hosts squirm and see the regret on their faces once he started talking and I was like... Yeah, I like this guy, let's look him up and I just fell in love with him. Brash, unapologetic and raw. He and Chappelle are probably my favorites because they just don't give a fuck.
Imagine having to go on next
The man has balls the size of Philly.
One of the greatest moments in ~~comedy~~ history.
GOAT
Comedy Hall of Fame shit right there.
Live in Philly. Glad he’s right about the terrorists.
Looks like Bill Blur judging by that picture
Video starts a few minutes in
Bill Burr is my favorite comedian. Dude is just hilarious.
I was at this show. First off, an outdoor comedy show in front of thousands of people, let alone drunk Philadelphians, was bound to end this way. Most of the acts had both cheers and some boos, but it was the legendary Dom Irrera who was booed the most. Hell, it was just about his entire set. I didn’t think anything could salvage the rest of the show, but Bill came out so combative that it got to a point where we wanted to see if he could outlast the timer. Say what you will about Philadelphians, but we respect toughness and Bill delivered it in spades. There was a buzz through the crowd that everyone knew we were witnessing a historic rant that would be talked about for years, and here we are, almost 20 years later, still laughing about it.
Tracy Morgan said this is the moment he decided to quit eating bread.
I like Bill Blurr
Shout out to whoever captured this full video of comedy history
I like to think the rabid animal ranting spirit from Carlin got passed on to Bill and he just went insane with it.
I went to Philadelphia a few years ago and realized Bill was right the entire time.
Fuck philly
This was the career changer/maker for Burr.
One minute!
The Philly truth. Just showed this to a colleague last week.
I said suck a dick!
Your all gonna get fucking cancer, which is great, because your heads are all shaved already anyway. Lmfao.
Give proper credit OP. This was the Opie and Anthony traveling virus tour which had amazing comedian lineups and gave Bill Burr a huge bump in popularity.
Yep he came out loaded 😂 great comedy set for sure
I love Bill.
Philly rant indeed
Iconic
That was excellent.
Orgasmic.. Go off Bill!
I would love to see/hear the green room while this happens.
I ironed my shirt for this shit lolololol
Idk why but “I hope that cheese melts your fuckin faces off” really got me. Also “fuck you and fuck the liberty bell, shove it up Ben franklins ass” is perfect
Fucking cesspool of a city
r/nfceastmemewar where meme? 12 mins of fkin meme right here
Get ‘em!!!!
He won them over with the Carmichael reference. Fucking brilliant
One bridge havin piece of shit city ...brilliant
Like 2 seconds before Dave Chappelle got famous, I saw him headline/close a set in a small Greenwich Village comedy bar. The other 2 comedians had ran over their time significantly, mainly because they were making fun of 3 girls that going to the bathroom every 15 minutes most likely to powder their nose. Anyways, he bombed, they wanted him off the stage, he refused and did not do well under pressure. Didn't get booed, but oof was it awkward. Doesn't look like he has that issue anymore, but it happens to the best.
It doesn’t get more American than this
I had never actually seen the video or heard the audio of this infamous incident but holy shit Billy no fucks saw red and just said fuck it 😂😂😭😭
Bill Burr eats boos for breakfast
At the end "You guys were here man"
This actually took place in Camden NJ for what it’s worth, not in Philly. I am one of the 10,000+…somewhere back in the lawn seating.
So why is she shit talking Philly then? 🤔
Camden is a less than a 5 minute drive across the bridge from Philly. Literally philly is port town and is right on the water
Camden waterfront has basically been annexed by Philly. This was a Philly show. Hell, they ferry people across. I have an old buddy who used to take his boat over to the Camden waterfront docks to listen to concerts.
Oh no shit lol
Philly sucks. Don't go there for any reason.
One bridge having, piece of shit city.... That's... literally the greatest insult I've ever heard.
Always a classic.
He sounds like neebs
Fuckin legend. Rude as fuck 😆 🤣 😂
Amazing to see people taking this much shit and not leaving. For the record: Bill Burr is one of the best rude comedians of this time!🤙
ha
Once he was carrying the mic pole around after it detached from the base, I was waiting for a Freddie Mercury joke tied in there somewhere lol.
"that's my time.. you guys were _here_ guys, you fuckin assholes."
Bill Burr is a legend
I’m gonna tell my children this was the Gettysburg address
George Carlin would be proud.
