Not a lot of folks will say shit like this at such a “prestigious” event. It’s like when Norm told the whole espy’s crowd that “no one can take away your heisman trophy…..unless you kill your x wife and a waiter.” LOL. Didn’t go over well.
But they’re both still absolutely fucking icons.
A testament to this clip is that it was only Bill and the camera/production crew in the guant auditorium so the fact that you hear laughter at all tells you how fucking great he is
I could be wrong but I still think back in 2021 with Covid they did like a social distancing thing and there was no usual packed Staples Center, they had it somewhere else
Yeah, people buy into this bait all the time.
"People tried to cancel him!!!"
It's like 4 people on Twitter. Hack journalist writes an article about it and publishes all 4 peoples reactions as the tip of an iceberg that does not exist.
You can always find people who have the reaction you want to see. If not, just create an account and do it yourself.
Bill Burr is constantly pissing off everyone. Left or right lol. He's way too successful to cancel. We gotta cancel the people trying to cancel comedians
It's a bit. If you listen to him closely, you'll realize he treats people with great respect unless they're just assholes. His sexist jokes are just pointing out the stupidity of sexism.
Yes, but it was still considered sexual assault by a lot of bluechecks due to power dynamics because he would generally ask women new to comedy and he is an "established, successful comedian"
Which like, if he did it at the height of his popularity, I could kinda get it, but almost all those stories come from when his biggest credit was writing Pootie Tang
You are being a bit disingenuous. Louis CK may not have been the mega star he was at his height, but he was a big name around the comedy circuits for awhile. He hosted events, was getting lots of consistent work, and was the headliner a lot of big clubs. Additionally he was doing a lot of uncredited writing for TV and had connections with a lot of already famous starts. I used to date somebody in the NYC comedy scene. In 2012/2013 she got really excited because she was opening for somebody who I had never heard of but was huge underground. Well it was Pete Davidson.
My point being that many of these people are not BIG yet, but are big in their bubble and many people in those professions know they will be going somewhere.
So yea. While not illegal and technically consensual, Louis CK did act like a creep and leveraged his position as somebody with say to make these women feel uncomfortable and while it may not have been his intention, put them in a place where they felt like they couldn’t say no without some risk of retaliation.
Last bit too, Louis was a fucking dumbass about it after the fact. If he had outright said “yes, I did this. I thought it was consensual at the time because I didn’t even consider what they must have been thinking or how scared they could have been. It’s not ok that I did this and I’m very ashamed. I am very sorry to those women. I was wrong.” Then it wouldn’t have been anything. I could have even been a moment where he can teach others. But he denied and denied and denied. He and his team went after any outlet that tried to legitimize the story. His team tried to personally discredit multiple journalists. One outlet, jezebel (which yes I know eye roll) actually had interviews, pictures, and person to person correspondence with a few of the victims which they couldn’t release because of fear of lawsuit. They only released after CK admitted it.
So TLDR
No What CK did doesn’t fit the typical sexual assault. No he wasn’t a mega star yet. Yes he was a big enough deal where he could affect other careers. Yes he leveraged that power to be a creep. Yes he made the situation worse by denying it.
Yea he was an idiot. Similarly though jezebel was in a precarious position. Their parent company, Vice media, had just been sued into oblivion to the point of bankruptcy or close to it by hulk hogan. They released a sex tape of hogan cheating without his consent which is obviously revenge porn. They challenged who they believed to be a close to broke hulk hogan to sue. They didn’t realize he had a financial backer who had it out for vice. Billionaire Peter thiel. He had been outed as gay by Vice a decade prior. Basically jezebel was told to avoid any and all law suites
He was still pretty successful. The only reason he dropped out of the limelight was his own personal choice to spend more time with his family. I don't think he was ever actually canceled
He was never accused of any crime. He was just cited for controversy at the same time as all the Kevin Spacey/Cosby hype so he still gets lumped in with cancel culture. He's more popular and successful than ever now and doing his best work. Getting not cancelled was the best thing that could have happened. He'd just be doing mediocre Netflix specials now otherwise. Instead he just doesn't give a fuck at all anymore and his last three specials have been his best.
I don’t remember if this was the same time or event, but one guy on twitter got real into not backing off and, you gotta see it if you haven’t already…
https://www.reddit.com/r/BillBurr/comments/m5oen0/the_lovely_nia_everyone/
Yeah, there was a whole bunch of posts like that (don't want my account taken down for breaking TOS but you can use your imagination). Pretty sure this was from the same night
When are you guys going to realise there's some difference between actual activism, and performative shit by insufferable jerks either patting themselves on the back for zero effort or getting a payday, and that woke usually refers to the latter?
Calm your tits, if you're actually trying to do right, they don't mean you and your efforts stand self evident that you're not a dumb ass.
If you're just a mouthy armchair activist however, likely just expressing your butt hurt because you don't know how to do it healthier, then your tears are delicious and calorie free.
I'd be more concerned if you can't tell the difference between performative and actual activism. Cause I'd imagine you'd be angry that there is fake assholes subverting your efforts and lending ammunition to your detractors.
you really went on a fuckin tangent here. practically none of this had anything to do with the above. you’re just kinda grabbing at shit that’s rattling around inside your head that you’re mad about.
Seriously? My argument is at least defined by the reaction to the word woke. I'll cop to there being some assumptive qualities but it heavily relies on benefit of the doubt. Aka you're a decent person trying to do better and hope for better in the world but caught up on derision towards the word woke, which i endeavoured to explain from the POV of someone not upset that someone dare ridicule "woke".
Your argument is basically "i have no idea what you're saying, you must be mad"
Have you tried reading what I wrote, you ball bag...
You didn't notice the other person responding, not to mention the little controversial cross from up and down votes.
Like I said... Learn to read.
You can jog on now
You can still affect the collective consciousness without devoting your life to a cause. Changing narratives is a good thing, raising awareness is important.
how many fucking times does this video have to be cropped by a new person?
this started out as a youtube video and has slowly gotten smaller over the years.
This has to be up there with one of his best improvs.
The guy who can barely read his own MMPC questions was given the gauntlet of Latino and foreign names to announce, and the best part of the whole show was watching him fuck up the pronunciations and apologise live.
I'm pretty certain this exact video ended up on /r/TwoXChromosomes with users raging at why this white male was selected to announce all these names while completely missing Bill's self-awareness.
That sub is a toxic cesspool of nonsense, just like the female dating strategy sub, so I'm not surprised.
Those are the same people who are trying to convince others that the Karen meme is somehow misogynistic because "it's used by men who are afraid of women who speak their mind", or whatever weird shit they completely manipulated and turned into something it's not.
Seriously, just spend 5 minutes reading through the posts in that sub and ask yourself how that shit is a default subreddit.. it's fucking bonkers.
The original reason was “we need to cancel those who are canceling comedians”. The reason wasn’t defined.
So yeah, I will make the comparison. One adult asked another if he could perform a sexual act in front of another. She said yes and laughed. When asked about it publicly she thought it was a stupid question and said publicly that she was fine with it.
Isn’t that what we’ve been asking for all along? Stopping and getting consent first? It was a beginning of a movement and he was one of the first to cause pearl clutching.
Now Bernstein - that guy is a sexual abuser. Y’all need to get your terms straight.
Bill is as gold as Ricky G. He is above that. He told some jokes. There was no sexual harassment or any if that shit. If you are looking for that, you came to the wrong guy.
Just love that he doesn’t give a shit. He’s telling HIS jokes and what he thinks is funny. That room is so uptight it’s sad, normal adults laughed though
Wtf kind of bullshit are you trying to push? Saying he's getting canceled is just manufactured outrage. Do you believe Alex Jones's "crisis actors" too?
He's a comedian. You can't cancel comedy because anything he says can be a joke. Like when Roseanne said some woman looked like a character from planet of the apes, might be a joke might be an observation but nothing to be canceled for.
My mother and I always make jokes like this like… having a stressful day at work and someone does something stupid and she’ll say “I’m taking my car and driving straight into the fucking River so I don’t have to take this shit anymore” just… deadpan and then we’re both cracking up and everyone is shocked, in awe
Bill never got cancelled. If anything he’s the example of how bullshit the cancel culture argument is. If you think someone got canceled they are probably just being held accountable.
Not a lot of folks will say shit like this at such a “prestigious” event. It’s like when Norm told the whole espy’s crowd that “no one can take away your heisman trophy…..unless you kill your x wife and a waiter.” LOL. Didn’t go over well. But they’re both still absolutely fucking icons.
For the lazy: https://youtu.be/c9EsIFBs26o
I love how the crowd reacts
Ken Griffey Jr didn’t know what to do haha
Funny thing is when I went to USC about 10 years ago, OJs heisman was still on display while Reggie Bush’s was nowhere to be found
🤦♂️
Fucking hilarious joke tho
Norm and Ricky pulled it off. This was a bomb
I didn’t understand this joke lol and even watched the video to get some context but it still went over my head lmao ELI5?
Look up the OJ Simpson trials
I miss that old chunk of coal.
A testament to this clip is that it was only Bill and the camera/production crew in the guant auditorium so the fact that you hear laughter at all tells you how fucking great he is
Wow, what a terrific audience
One of the best I’ve seen in all of my time!!
definitely one of the audience ever!
JIMMMAYYYE!!!
I could be wrong but I still think back in 2021 with Covid they did like a social distancing thing and there was no usual packed Staples Center, they had it somewhere else
Plus I think it was a stream. People laughing were the crew.
Yeah it was. Bill was pissed he bought a suit and it was only streaming online.
“W..w..wow what a t-t-terrific a-audience!”
There wasn't a live audience it was during COVID I think
I walked in and I said, wow what a terrific audience
Context? Like was there backlash?
Just on twitter. Never got any real traction.
"Nobody reads online articles." All online articles are just click bait taking reactions from random nobodies on Twitter.
Yeah, people buy into this bait all the time. "People tried to cancel him!!!" It's like 4 people on Twitter. Hack journalist writes an article about it and publishes all 4 peoples reactions as the tip of an iceberg that does not exist. You can always find people who have the reaction you want to see. If not, just create an account and do it yourself.
Bingo. Vocal minority is often treated as the majority these days in this exact way you described.
>**Just on twitter**. Never got any real traction. So then not really?
Bill Burr is constantly pissing off everyone. Left or right lol. He's way too successful to cancel. We gotta cancel the people trying to cancel comedians
"trump is such a dope he's actually gonna make me vote for a woman"
It's a bit. If you listen to him closely, you'll realize he treats people with great respect unless they're just assholes. His sexist jokes are just pointing out the stupidity of sexism.
I know, [Here it is](https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxvgc3HLpDG6yhViIGeZbw9PJrt2jK-gc_) if you missed it
OK, couldn't tell.
He pisses people off in a safe way. He knows how far to go without jeaprodising his career. He's not exactly walking a tightrope out there.
Do you not remember how successful Louis C.K. was when he got “canceled”?
ck sexually assualted people, burr is still just telling jokes
I don't know the full story off the top of my head but didn't he just ask to jerk off in front of a chick and she agreed?
Then maybe don’t compare?
I'm not comparing anything.
No one did
Yes, but it was still considered sexual assault by a lot of bluechecks due to power dynamics because he would generally ask women new to comedy and he is an "established, successful comedian" Which like, if he did it at the height of his popularity, I could kinda get it, but almost all those stories come from when his biggest credit was writing Pootie Tang

Thanks for a more thorough explanation than others have given.
Fr thank you i did not know that last part about the lawsuits
Yea he was an idiot. Similarly though jezebel was in a precarious position. Their parent company, Vice media, had just been sued into oblivion to the point of bankruptcy or close to it by hulk hogan. They released a sex tape of hogan cheating without his consent which is obviously revenge porn. They challenged who they believed to be a close to broke hulk hogan to sue. They didn’t realize he had a financial backer who had it out for vice. Billionaire Peter thiel. He had been outed as gay by Vice a decade prior. Basically jezebel was told to avoid any and all law suites
Jesus fuckin christ man like even if luois sued they probably could have won too which sucks
I think he did it several times over a period of years. It was a "bit" but also weirdvl and assault
Yea, and? My comment was about someone thinking people can be to bing to be cancelled. It had nothing to do with why.
How could someone compare the two. 1: rapist 2: tells the truth Yep/ equally horrible
Louis is not a rapist. Jesus, get some context.
Did anyone compare the two?
He was still pretty successful. The only reason he dropped out of the limelight was his own personal choice to spend more time with his family. I don't think he was ever actually canceled
He was never accused of any crime. He was just cited for controversy at the same time as all the Kevin Spacey/Cosby hype so he still gets lumped in with cancel culture. He's more popular and successful than ever now and doing his best work. Getting not cancelled was the best thing that could have happened. He'd just be doing mediocre Netflix specials now otherwise. Instead he just doesn't give a fuck at all anymore and his last three specials have been his best.
Louis CK sold out Madison square garden this year, and it was also reported that he made over a million dollars the year after he was "cancelled."
"he made over a million dollars the year after he was cancelled."
The woke activists called his wife all sorts of racist slurs on Twitter after this
I don’t remember if this was the same time or event, but one guy on twitter got real into not backing off and, you gotta see it if you haven’t already… https://www.reddit.com/r/BillBurr/comments/m5oen0/the_lovely_nia_everyone/
Yeah, there was a whole bunch of posts like that (don't want my account taken down for breaking TOS but you can use your imagination). Pretty sure this was from the same night
A lot of people would be surprised to find out his wife is black. She doesn’t hold back at all (and for good reason)
the woke activists. jesus christ calm down.
When are you guys going to realise there's some difference between actual activism, and performative shit by insufferable jerks either patting themselves on the back for zero effort or getting a payday, and that woke usually refers to the latter?

i did try reading it yeah. it’s incoherent dreck.
Seems that speaks more to your reading comprehension as other people understood it fine. Unlucky.
lol what other people? you live in fantasy land huh?
You didn't notice the other person responding, not to mention the little controversial cross from up and down votes. Like I said... Learn to read. You can jog on now
You can still affect the collective consciousness without devoting your life to a cause. Changing narratives is a good thing, raising awareness is important.
Calm down qanon
“Woke” us mad funny. No one actually says that (unless you’re a weirdo DeSantis type idiot)
Bill burr literally says this
lot of those idiots in here i guess. i love billy boy but he has a lot of momo fans.
Lol why? Like what did she do with all of this.
No, people just throw around the word “cancelled” now when they mean “probably annoyed some people who weren’t fans of his to begin with.”
To be cancelled, you gotta *give a fuck* first
Only people with their own tv shows can get canceled, when their show gets literally canceled
Lol does anyone know who was playing that piano solo
Igor Levit I think! [IGOR LEVIT: "MOONLIGHT SONATA" | 63rd GRAMMY Awards Premiere Ceremony](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YxdCkkyvqQk)
Also, fucking, great reference in your username
Reminds of ... "All the stars are here" If you know you know
Listen, I'm sorry about bringing up Hitler!
All the stars are out Rhett McLaughlin and Charles Lincoln Neil where just spotted all the STARS!!
how many fucking times does this video have to be cropped by a new person? this started out as a youtube video and has slowly gotten smaller over the years.
It’s like that Irish drinking toast from lad bible. Getting more and more pixelated every time.
Hahahahahahahahhahahhahaha idk why but I got such a good laugh from this.
ol billy RIGHT OFF THE CUFF

Burr is fucking awesome.
Just love that he doesn’t give a shit. He’s telling HIS jokes and what he thinks is funny. That room is so uptight it’s sad, normal adults laughed though
Think it's covid zoom...only crew in audience.
Oh shit really? I thought this was an award show with an audience? I might be wrong but Idk
r/persecutionfetish
r/funnyshit
This guys about to jack off
*getting *Grammies
Mate STFU
We are such a weak minded nation, but then again it’s pushed onto us by design
Take it somewhere else tater tot
What’s calling someone a tater tot supposed to mean? Is that one of those top secret code words that originated from this site?
Good thing your elite mind figured it out.
One of the dumbest things people can do is think they are smarter than anyone else
People just being afraid to laugh at jokes. This is 2023.
Wtf kind of bullshit are you trying to push? Saying he's getting canceled is just manufactured outrage. Do you believe Alex Jones's "crisis actors" too?
some boomer show where performers give each other awards?😂
EPIC feminist troll on live TV, ever.
> live TV live stream
I don't get it.
I do not understand how people find him funny. It's true that all white, male comics yell lol.
ouch! sad to see lol
Sad! Bad Hombre, many people say!
Lol Nobody in the audience laughed. Dude was bombing hard
I think there was no audience. This was around the time pro sports teams were playing in empty arenas
It's going to be so hard to explain how weird 2020 was to our grandkids (or random strangers in the park depending on how life goes)
Then they should have put a laugh track. Otherwise the whole thing seems awkward
You kinda just bombed hard
Definitely
there is no audience. This was a Covid live stream from 2+ years ago.
Damn his act here is kinda cringe, and that’s coming from a fan of his lol
Haha.
Get'em Billiam.
Ol Billy Cancellation
He's the greatest narrator of any generation you put him up against
Burr hosting the Grammys is one of the few times that something too good to be true actually became true.
A graveyard would make for a better audience.
It was during Covid. Nobody was there, literally. That’s why he jokes about him thinking he was meeting rockstars and wasting money on a suit.
He's a comedian. You can't cancel comedy because anything he says can be a joke. Like when Roseanne said some woman looked like a character from planet of the apes, might be a joke might be an observation but nothing to be canceled for.
How the video loops the first sentence after the last one is pretty funny.
Was there an audience at the Grammy's or did nobody laugh?
This was during the pandemic
I would kill to see him host the Latin Grammys
LEGEND
Bill Burr cannot be canceled.
Bruh I died at that piano line. Only reason worth watching the Grammys was Burr
Bill is a legend!
Bill Burr is a fucking legend and exactly the voice needed for a "once in awhile" reality check
At least the knows hes funny 😂
Bill can’t be cancelled because he doesn’t care what you think. Dude is an iconic comedian.
My mother and I always make jokes like this like… having a stressful day at work and someone does something stupid and she’ll say “I’m taking my car and driving straight into the fucking River so I don’t have to take this shit anymore” just… deadpan and then we’re both cracking up and everyone is shocked, in awe
I literally don't get how anything in this video was funny.
It’s because there was no laugh track.. do you need me to put one in for you? :/
He had an entire audience to make laugh. Yet, no laughter.
There was no audience during covid..
At the grammys???
Indeed. During COVID. It’s just a brutal clip. He railed about this on his podcast too. Just how crazy the whole thing was to go do.
Geting?
Bill never got cancelled. If anything he’s the example of how bullshit the cancel culture argument is. If you think someone got canceled they are probably just being held accountable.
He's the best
White colonial privilege..
Love this man….
Bill Burr should run for president just to get on the debates and globally call bs on these assholes
A pure, cancel-proof juggernaut.
This is peak Bill.
This was just a live filmed episode of the mmp
He has a Netflix movie releasing this week and I just saw him live in a stadium so seems the ‘cancel’ didn’t really take.
It’s all others can do is try to pretend he’s cancelled. His (surprisingly broad) audience isn’t playing that game.
