Bill Burr Presents: Friends Who Kill

There were a few chuckles, but this fell woefully flat.

To be clear, this is not a Bill Burr special, but even his segment is not great - and it's still the best part of the whole thing. Wolf, Kirson & Bartnick are okay, the rest ranges from really bad (Jimmy Carr talking about One Direction is D-tier material from 2013) to some of the worst stand up I've ever seen (Steph Tolev and the guy singing about titty fucking ass cracks).

Its a mixed bag. Burr and Kirson are great. I think Edwards material is funnier than his delivery. I didn't like any of Tolev's jokes but there was something about her gross goblin personality I think might be funny in something written by someone else. Wolf is not at her best but I still like her. I like Bartnik and Carr outside this but both felt real flat. I feel like its easy to be cynical about the comedy jam at the end, but its just performers and the audience having a good time.

Burr stands out with his wit and delivery, Carr does his edgy shtick moderately well and Kirson's a comparative revelation, a total breath of fresh air with impeccable and unique delivery; Tolev can be a bit overbearing but certainly has her moments, and Bartnick is agreeable. Conversely, Wolf and Edwards are largely unfunny, Ross and Attell's roasting session seems like low-hanging fruit, Meyers's musical comedy bit is average and Chieng does a puzzling, ill-advised, off-pitch Katy Perry cover.

Steph Tolev; you're a disgusting person. Whoever thinks you're funny is garbage.

absolute shit show other than a few chuckles. this has almost nothing to do with bill burr

Just give me more Bill Burr, damnit
