Bill Burr has been hard at work on the promotional trail in recent months, as he’s been promoting both his new Hulu stand-up special Drop Dead Years and his Broadway debut in Glengarry Glen Ross. In typical Burr fashion, there hasn’t been a single topic he’s shied away from.
In the last few months, Bill Burr has gone viral for his comments on a wide variety of topics, including but not limited to, Snow White, Elon Musk, cable news, Israel-Palestine, billionaires, Luigi Mangione, NFL refs, the Los Angeles fires, and more.
During a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the 56-year-old stand-up comedian and actor somehow managed to cram his thoughts about the word ‘woke’, climate change, pronouns, and the state of food in the United States into a minute-long rant.
“White liberals are the ones that fave the definition of ‘woke’ to Whites on the right. No White people really understand, it seems, what that word really meant when they took it from Black people. So, people on the right just think it means an insufferable, self-involved liberal douche. And they’re not wrong, if they’re talking about a White person. Running around crying about their pronouns as the sun is lighting the planet on fire,” Burr said.
As he reached the end of his first thought, he detected nervous laughter from the live audience, prompting him to say:
“See? Look how scared you are about pronouns. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile the rest of the world doesn’t wnt to take our food because they see what we look like. They don’t want our beautiful chicken. They don’t want our beautiful beef. Why is that? Why would you think… go to Europe, if you can, and eat a tomato, and see what it really is supposed to taste like. ‘This is a tomato?!‘”
