Bill Burr jokes about his “intense” internet analysis in his latest Netflix particular.
He Googles materials and wings it on stage. And, if that’s not sufficient, he repeats what he hears on the bar. And that’s positive since we shouldn’t flip to stand-up comics for the most recent, correct headlines.
Burr nonetheless screwed up some of the publicized media tales in current reminiscence throughout “Bill Burr Presents: Friends Who Kill.”
The Massachusetts native isn’t the star of the present. It’s a showcase for hilarious comedians who “kill,” to make use of business vernacular. Burr does open the Netflix particular, delivering a darkly comedian take a look at the pandemic and different societal ills.
His quick set steers into the Kyle Rittenhouse saga, the story of an Illinois teen who shot three BLM protesters, all white, throughout a chaotic protest tied to the death of a black Wisconsin man, Jacob Blake, by native police.
Two of the boys Rittenhouse shot died.
Burr introduced up the 2020 incident, which came about in Kenosha, Wisc., to show a degree about gun management.
“I don’t have an issue with weapons,” the left-leaning Burr mentioned. “Liberals gotta stop taking away conservative folks’s weapons.
“Because whenever you strive to remove their weapons, you then get them in a nook the place they gotta begin defending everyone with a gun. You know, like that f***ing fool Rittenhouse?”
“Turns out the 2 folks he killed had been a convicted little one molester and a skateboarder, two of essentially the most annoying folks in society. So as dumb as this child is, he by some means went two for 2.”
Edgy stuff, the form of materials many comics may keep away from.
Not Burr.

Next, he jokes about Rittenhouse’s mom providing him a trip to the “riot,” one thing he couldn’t affirm together with his crack Google analysis.
“You gotta drop me off like two blocks away so my different racist associates don’t see my mommy drove me,” Burr mentioned.
The comedian then says Rittenhouse shouldn’t hint his heritage in case it comes up with one thing surprising.
“With these massive pouty lips I don’t suppose he’s gonna just like the outcomes,” he mentioned, insinuating Rittenhouse could also be part-African, presumably, given a stereotype concerning black folks’s lips.
His racist associates gained’t settle for the younger man after that.
“C’mon, man, I’m like 91 p.c you!” he cried, imitating Rittenhouse attempting to unite together with his fellow racists. “Und the Fuhrer solely accepts one hundred pc Caucasian,” the doorman answered in a mock Hitler voice.
A jury acquitted Rittenhouse on all counts final yr within the capturing incident. Yet the media and then-candidate Joe Biden, immediately thought of him responsible regardless of the video proof on the contrary. Many, together with Biden, insinuated he was a white supremacist, too.
Without proof, because the media is fond of claiming.
Reporter Miranda Devine debunked the widely-spread narrative.
In one story, the Intercept used the time period “white supremacist” 16 instances. The accusation has turn out to be holy writ, however there’s zero proof. The FBI scoured Kyle’s telephone and located nothing about white supremacy or militias, the courtroom heard. All they noticed had been pro-police, “Blue Lives Matter” posts from a child who had been a police and fireplace division cadet, needed to be a police officer or paramedic and as soon as sat close to the entrance of a Trump rally.
Even the far-Left Snopes dubbed the declare then-Candidate Biden called Rittenhouse a white supremacist “mostly true” with out suggesting the Democrat had a degree.
That didn’t cease Burr from slandering Rittenhouse as a racist in three separate jokes. His “Google” analysis, apparently, has some flaws.
The story is probably not over, although.
Rittenhouse mentioned Johnny Depp’s recent defamation suit victory over his ex-wife, Amber Heard, impressed him to take authorized motion towards the shops that slandered him within the days and months after the capturing.
And he has more than one target in mind.
The lawyer who represented Covington Catholic scholar Nicholas Sandmann throughout his defamation circumstances has joined Kyle Rittenhouse’s authorized staff, and says there shall be “not less than 10” defamation lawsuits towards distinguished figures and firms for feedback towards {the teenager}.
Sandmann settled lawsuits with CNN, NBC-Universal and The Washington Post for undisclosed sums after the liberal information websites unfairly framed him as racist for a Jan. 2019 incident in D.C. He additionally focused NPR, ABC, CBS, The Guardian and extra media firms.
Could Burr be on Rittenhouse’s listing?
He’s a comic, not an alleged information supply. That didn’t cease Sandmann from making an attempt to sue comedienne Kathy Griffin for her defamatory framing of him shortly after the D.C. encounter. A decide threw out Sandmann’s case towards the self-described D-list comedian, regardless of her try and dox the teenager and his fellow college students.
The greatest comedy is predicated on fact. Burr stays one among our greatest stand-up comedians, however his act may get higher if his Google abilities improved.
